DS425+

You’re looking at a Synology with a Celeron CPU and 2GB of RAM vs 32GB of RAM and whatever CPU you put in and wondering why it costs more. If you just want storage and nothing else then Synology is probably all good. But if you want to run containers or anything other than basic storage then I would

Synology DS425+. I have one and it works great for what I need. I installed 4x 12TB Seagate Ironwolf HDDs, and I use it for Time Machine backups, Plex, and surveillance cameras footage for 8 Eufy cams.

I’ve used Synology since 2011 or so with Macs; they work perfectly. I would strongly recommend them - easy to use, reasonably fast for what they are, and lots of flexibility in them. Yes, out of the box the 2025 models (DS425+, etc. with 25 in the name) require Syno-branded disks. This is either a g

I‘m in love with my new Synology DS425+ with additional 16GB Ram and NVME

Among the latest models, only the DS425+ has the GPU needed for Jellyfin hardware transcoding - - that's probably the NAS I'd get if I bought one

If you're buying a NAS, the point is not to tie your Mac to it; reboot your Mac and you don't want people dropping from movie watching, do you? Buy PlexPass. That's $250. The people suggesting Intel NAS generally have purchased Plexpass. Buy a NAS with an Intel iGPU. Let's assume that's a DS425+. Th

Not related to high CPU use on the Studio, as we discussed in the other thread. 50% CPU usage is high, sure, but you have a total of 10 cores in the machine, so literally 5 cores are sitting around waiting for something to do. Plus Video Toolbox (the thing that does HW transcoding on a Mac) is what

zu kaufen und gleich OEM Festplatten, RAM und M2 mitzukaufen Was ich für private Zwecke NICHT empfehlen würde, ist Synologyhardware zum NAS zu kaufen. Für Businesszwecke wegen des Supports und RMA-Prozessen vielleicht ja, aber für private Zwecke zahlt man doch erheblich mehr "für nichts". Festplatte

I’m watching here, since I have the same use case. I think I have gone away from the UNAS2 and am now looking at a Synology DS425+, since it has the ability to run apps like Immich and so on. But very interested in other opinions
