NAS

I've done the DIY, holy fuck does a Synology NAS just remove all the hard bullshit from your plate. Highly recommend just starting there. I've got the DS 423, it's been bulletproof.

PMS on pc or NAS?

I use a Syno DS423+ with Intel Celeron J4125 CPU (a 2019 CPU with Intel QuickSync capable iGPU). I have PlexPass. I think it's fantastic. I have 5 AppleTV devices around the house, and I share this out with perhaps five other frequent users and 5 other infrequent users. I have 100mbps up and gigabit

Very Impressed with Immich!

Thanks for your feedback, very much appreciated :)! Yea, I realized that any serious bulk upload from mobile app is somewhat hard, there are quite a few posts/threads about that scattered here and there on reddit and other boards. I think there is some room for improvements for the devs, we shall se

Use your old laptop as a NAS (Home Server)

Better to invest in NAS - not fail proof but its pretty good. Bought and setup a Synology DS423+ for my small company. Internal networking/file sharing pani flawless. Paila chai we were doing same yei technique for 4 5 years but once data builds up, there is more traffic and multiple users then shot

Storage Solutions for m4 Mac Mini

Going through these one at a time. HDDs are absolutely fine here. 4K Blu-ray REMUX caps out around 120-140 Mbps, which is roughly 15-18 MB/s. Any 3.5" external sustains 150-200 MB/s, so the disk isn't where you'd ever feel a hitch. Anyone telling you to buy SSDs for movie storage is selling you some

Wanting a small 2-bay setup for a home server between my Mac and Windows computers

So something like the Synology DS423 or the Ugreen DXP4800 Plus? I like Ugreen for their cables, but I don’t know how their proper devices hold up against Synology. Willing to consider both, but I see so many models, it’s difficult to really know what I want.

Recommendations for a KISS NAS

When I was in a similar situation, running Plex on my DS916+ became frustrating, I opted to just run Plex on a Dell 3060 USF and just use NAS as a NAS. It has let me put money into bigger drives instead of replacing a working chassis. I have never seen a point to the 2 chassis NAS and always suggest

DIY Unraid vs turnkey NAS in 2026: still worth the build?

I’ve had the gamut, from Windows servers, Unraid servers, and Synology boxes. If you just want to serve files, have an always on way to backup your network of devices, run a great Plex server, handle HomeKit and other home automations, and run a mountain of containers, the Synology DS423+ / DS425+ w

Simple Cloud Storage Solution - Poll

I hosted a DIY NAS for several years, and it became more babysitting than I wanted. (Admittedly, it was because of my OS choice and strategy.) About 2 years ago, I purchased a Synology DS423+ 4-bay NAS, and haven't looked back. With local backups (Active Backup for Business), external backups (Hyper
