DS224+

These will replace the dozens of DS224+ models we have when they die, or Synology loses its mind and forces their drives to be used.

i always kept the plex data folder on a ssd and currently a NVMe drive now and never really saw any lag for the interface or when opening the media compared to when it was installed on spinning drives. Try doing a database clean up and increasing the DB cache size a little (Mine is currently at 256)

I moved from a DS224+ to a UGREEN 4800 Plus. I'm very happy with the move. I know there is some software from Synology that you might miss, but to be honest I never used anything from them aside of DSM.I don't like propietary software, specially when it comes from Synology. I don't trust them at all

I’ve run it on a DS224+ with only 4GB of RAM and it ran fine. The server has very little demand for computing power. It’s the clients (via a web browser) that needs the “oomph”. I wasn’t a savvy Docker user back then and had some trouble getting a network volume to mount to that Docker Container, so

I guess it depends on your problem space. I don't want/need another photo browser. I use iCloud / Apple Photos for that. I just want a reliable backup of my (family's) photos in an automated fashion, and for that, PhotoSync is more than enough. I don't see any situation in the future where I would b

I personally am not an expert , but can mostly follow YT tutorials to get things working . I bought a DS220j as my first NAS in 2021. At the time it was to setup a doorbell with surveillance... I used it for 3 or 4 months and it worked well. I then got a dedicated DVR system setup and packed the NAS

Thanks for the update. I doubt the problems on the Mac are caused by the app as much as Finder doing Finder things. I frequently find that Finder has decided to unmount my shares during sleep, despite the laptop never having moved out of WiFi range (or at all). Even autofs couldn’t produce a reliabl

I avoid Synology Drive. I had an idea, where I’d separate my media from my backups, so I purchased a DS224+, populated it with 2x6TB Synology HAT-3300 drives (priced similarly to WD Red Plus at the time), and setup the NAS with Synology Drive, Synology Photos and HyperBackup. After setting up snapsh

I don’t mind slow backups either, as long as they finish reliably before the machine needs to be used again. Synology Drive (and Photos) leave a lot to be desired. They work, but it’s a bare minimum. The only thing that could possibly get me to reconsider setting up the DS224+ again is for file shar

currently running on a synology DS224+ but contemplating getting a M1 mac mini and having it run sonarr etc as well as plex all from a SSD to reduce the amount of HDD activity on the synology box, as i apparently purchased the loudest hard drives known to man. I made the mistake of using the on boar
