DS224+

I can give you slight context. So I have mine running the server on my Synology DS224+, which has Intel N4120 which is slightly worse off than i3-9100 you have there. Intel quick sync is pretty good at transcoding with 3-5 clients requiring simultaneous transcodes at 1080p. The experience is that, i

Eu am un DS224+. Aplicatia de telefon e Synology Photos. Sunt destul de multumit. poti sa faci backup la poze in backgroud sau fortat. Ai categoriii pentru persoane sau alte subiecte ( ex Ocean, Bautura, caini pisici) , ai harta si vezi pozele unde sunt facute, taguri pe poze, descriere, link share.

I had a 4tb MyCloud for years, even replacing its internal drive with a 10tb WD Red drive, and connecting external USB drives to it. It's 100mbps network connection was making it feel slow. I replaced it with a Synology DS224+ early last year and I'm completely happy with it. Was more expensive at a

Én jelenleg úgy futtatom, hogy a docker container-nek 3 GB RAM-ot adtam és annyival elvan szépen. Eddig egy Synology DS224+ futtata nálam, amiben összesen 6 GB RAM volt, van aki Raspberry Pi 4-en futtatja 2 GB RAM társaságában, de ott már kell a konfiguráción állítani, hogy a 4k videókkal ne legyen

I have a Synology DS224+ with 24TBx2. I keep my media around 1-3gb per hour of footage (usually 1080p). It can easily serve 3 direct play streams while barely making a dent to my overhead. I can also confirm 2 simultaneous transcodes without a hitch. Transcoding a movie (say 3gb) yields about a 15%

This is the processor used in the Synology DS224+. It can run Plex or Jellyfin and multiple VMs without any problems. It can also handle a good firewall like IPFire.

If you liked Synology, just upgrade within it. Something like Synology DS224+ is a big jump from the j-series—way faster and actually smooth for photos. If you’re open to switching, TerraMaster is cheaper and faster, but Synology still wins on apps/ease.

The Synology DS223 can be used for media playback, but its CPU isn't as powerful as the next model up. I would personally step up to the DS224+, DS225+ or DS425+ since they both have CPU's with transcoding abilities which can allow for smoother playback on more devices, regardless of the video file

Well I'd better be careful in case I upset the Synology fans downvoting my question .. lol If you're specifically after a 4 bay then Synology probably IS outside your budget but you could probably pick up a cheap DS224+ which is a 2 bay and quite good for streaming as the CPU has a built in graphics

If you want to future-proof for Plex, look for a DS220+ or DS224+ on the used market. The "+" models have Intel CPUs that can handle hardware transcoding, which is the main thing the J series can't do. A used DS220+ goes for around £150-200 depending on condition — more than the DS215j obviously but
