SA6400

Updated the Synology model to SA6400 and everything works beautifully, including read/write caching. Wish I had looked into this much sooner - the full functionality of Synology DSM on the hardware of the Ugreen Nas is just awesome.

I went for the SA6400 with a new computer build with an i5-13500 and it's running great. I've got Proxmox on top and Synology DSM in a VM with latest Arc Loader beta and no issues so far.

Choose SA6400 since it's based on the most recent kernel. And IMHO it will be best to install it baremetal or in Proxmox or similar.

I attempted to update at one point, but the “NAS” didn’t boot into the OS anymore. Had to do everything from square one. I wish th

Has anyone tried running ~15 Windows VMs on a SA6400, each VM with ~16GB RAM, just basic stuff like print servers, domain controllers and basic low use web servers? Seems like, while expensive, the SA6400 would (on paper) make for a nice server all in one box- could run VMs in VMM, and ABB could bac

You completely lost me. You want to use Synology apps to run everything? I mean, if you want to run docker on the synology box then sure, I guess. But the synology apps? Sounds like a lot more work to get a lot less done. DSM is fine for backing up stuff, but if you just want to run a bunch of conta
