My DS1513+ still makes an excellent secure file server/back up solution but the processor get stuck at 99% when uploading photos etc. (not sure about Synology photos cf photo station).

I'm looking for a second NAS that will allow faster photo face recognition etc & the following: 2 VM's, Docker, Fast access for film editing/recording. (I plan to back up to my DS1513*).

I have a CAT7 network throughout the house.

I'm reasonable IT literate, comfortable with linux/unix command line and a Mac user.

Long time QNAP user. TS-659 Pro and TS-231 that QNAP just made EOL so no updates. Consolidating to 2 bay with big drives. TS-220+ is 3 years old. What is Synology's track record for making still good NAS devices EOL?

• I have a Synology 415play, with 4 4TB drives.
• Main purpose: saving currently 2TB of family photos and videos. Most of the time it is turned off and whenever I need to upload new photos / videos, I turn it on and let the iOS Synology Photos app upload everything.
• 1GB internet connection
• Current problem: the speed even with a direct NAS to PC cable connection is quite slow (need to separate files into more folders), CPU often runs at 100% during indexing (+takes days sometimes) and memory (RAM) runs out occasionally. Also loading photos from e.g. 5 years ago, will not work through Synology Photos app on my iOS phone.

Questions:
• Is the 923+ with SSDs the right solution for me given the increased CPU speed compared to the 920?
• Would this solve my listed issues (windows explorer speed when browsing files, photos not loading in the photos app through the internet, super slow indexing)?

Hi
Has there been any progress for Deadbolt QNAP infected devices?

Hi, I'd like your advice on upgrading from a DS 713+ to ideally another Synology product. My main concern is playback performance from within my network and externally to clients using Emby (firesticks, apple tv's, mobile phones etc.). My current 713+ does not support hardware transcoding and the CPU is maxing out when playing / accessing / editing media files even within my network. I updated the RAM to its max but that has had little effect on performance (probably expected). I would love your take on the best product to go with given my main concern. I have been looking at the 720+ for the transcoding abilities and boost in performance. I have not considered a potential boost in using a network switch with my 1GB service nor the upgrade to using M.2 drives, and I'm not sure if either of these would bring about greater performance for transcoding / playback quality? I appreciate any advice and guidance and thank you in advance for your time and consideration. Best, Matt

Hello i have a playstation 5 i am in the market for an ssd heatsink 1TB which one do you recommend please

Hello, I have been looking for some time for a suitable 5G router for a start up e-commerce business. I am unsure of which is the best or robust router to go for. I have looked at the usual devices from OPPO, Zyxel, Huawei etc. I am asking if there are other devices, that would be more suitable. Also bear in mind, that I currently live in an HMO environment, so security is key. The area I live in has suitable 5G coverage. And complete 4G coverage. Also, this is a stand alone device, not looking for a travel device. Looking forward to your advice.

Hi,

Have heard mention of Bonding the 2 ethernet Ports on NAS together, what is this (in very very simple terms please) and any benefit and if so under what circumstances (e.g. 2 or 3 PC's connecting via internet to view via Plex or DS Video) or only of use if using a switch.
Regards

I am looking for a reasonably priced NAS that will be used as a file server/storage device. Maybe a handful of machine images as well, but mainly file server type use for our church.

I recently installed a QNAP TS-451D2-4G 4 Bay

I've always used QNAP stuff, so is this the best use of our money for this situation?

Thanks,

Craig

- Want to upgrade RAM on QNAP NAS TS-464-4G, just bought.
- QNAS info on compatible RAM type is cryptically "SODIMM DDR4". That's it!
- An Amazon user question response: buy DDR4 2666Mhz CL19 PC4-21000 260-Pin SODIMM RAM.

My question to ensure the RAM is compatible:
- how specific do I have to be in choosing RAM type given the above 2 vastly different RAM descriptions
- does it matter if it says "for laptop" or "for Synology NAS", or doesn't specify that it's for a NAS? THANKS!
