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

Since this is your first NAS - you really can’t beat Synology for the user interface and final product polish. It’s so easy to set up a caveman could do it (me). I am in a similar boat to you (NAS newbie) and have the DS224+ and it’s excellent. Perfect for my needs.

I'm using 2 10TB WD Red drives I've been swapping between other NAS solutions I've tried. Originally bought them for a Synology DS224+. No issues so far. Getting ready to enable encryption with tne new EA version of Drive to see how that works.

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.

Yeah this is totally doable and not overkill. A 2-bay NAS (like Synology DS224+) with HDDs is enough, SSD NAS is unnecessary unless you want speed over cost. Use Immich for photos and Plex or Jellyfin for movies on TVs. You can keep it off most of the time, but realistically once you start using it,

Buy a nas such as a Ugreen nas or Synology older than 2025. I got a DS224+ for $150 locally. Filled with 2 12TB drives for $300 locally. Owning your own data is the way.

A NAS unit like a Synology DS224+ can host both NextCloud and OnlyOffice which you might want as your office suite to open your files. It will cost around $400 - $500 to get this setup running, but I've been using it remotely at work for months and the performance is outstanding.

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%
