DS923+

Immich really doesn’t require much. I’m using a Synology DS923+. The only downside was my initial import of 1TB of photos took quite awhile to complete all the jobs and tasks for optimizing my library, face recognition, thumbnails, etc. Alter the initial import is done it requires almost nothing on

Pulled this from a chat gpt response of what you said above... The simplest “best fit” build for your numbers 4 bay NAS + 4 x 10TB or 4 x 12TB drives in RAID5 (or Synology SHR). • 4 x 10TB in RAID5 gives about 27TB usable • 4 x 12TB in RAID5 gives about 33TB usable That lands right in your 20 to 24T

Besides what everyone already said here I would like to add a few things: In terms of storage I’ve been taught going for 2.5 times the storage of what you think you need. Doing some quick maths (200 gb * 3 * 2,5=1.500 GB). Always round up above so 2 tb minimum for a drive. There is no such thing as pl

A simple takeaway from me is: keep compute and storage separate — don’t combine both.I was also confused between the pre-built NAS options like the Synology DS923+ and the UGreen models. I chose the DS923+ because I’m only going to use it purely as a NAS, while the actual compute will be handled by

If you're not hardcore enough to build this, you're looking at buying a NAS (network attached storage). Synology is super easy but expensive. There are other manufs that offer cheaper, but I have no experience with those. I love my DS923+

You will need a business grade 4 bay NAS (or larger) with sufficient processing power, a fast network connection at least 2.5Gb, and expandable RAM if possible. If you can 16GB or more then you can forget upgrading later on. Look at some turn key solutions like the Synology DiskStation DS923+ or the

Ich habe mir synology DS923+ gekauft. Voll zufrieden 750€ mit 2x4TB. Benutze RAID. Eistellengen kannst über DSM mobile machen. PC ist nicht nötig. Kalender und Kontakte glaub ich kann man auch, ich benutze nicht weil Google drive dafür da ist. Du wärst mit 800€ fix drinnen wenn du anfängerfreundlich

Synology DS923+ or DS1821+ would be perfect for you. Easy setup, great for 4K streaming, and room to grow beyond 40TB. Their software is basically plug-and-play. No building, no headaches. Just pop in drives and you're rolling!

about 2 years ago I started seriously thinking the way you are now, and 18 months ago I jumped ship and bought my own DS224+ for my home use (I already had several DS923+ at work that I had put in). It just felt right - Xpenology showed me there is value in the Synology eco-system, and I still like

Depends on what you need in terms of expansion at least for me. I’m running a DS923+ and it’s been a wonderful experience super easy to setup, plenty of guides for docker or anything. Drive and photos support out of the back… Synology is plug and play reliability. Problem is I’m going hardcore with
