Our small engineering office ( <10 staff) uses a synology DS916+ and it has worked perfectly. We looking to upgrade our NAS and it looks like DS920+ or DS1621+ could be good candidates. Any thoughts or feedback or oher synology sugestions??

Hi, I just bought the DS1821+. Looking to set up a home office nas for all my documents and a Plex server. I'm wondering whats the mid-range to best UPS to get for my NAS in case of a power outrage. Thanks.

Hi, I was wondering what NAS you would recommend as a home media storage device which has a short depth and fits in a rack. I don't need drives, just the physical unit itself.

Thank you, Peter

Hi

If it comes to synology, seems like you are the one to ask! Great comparisons! However i am unsure what to buy.
I have a Ds215j in Place with 2*3TB Wd red

I am looking for an upgrade. Since i have a small rack at home the rackversions seem nice, but expensive.

I have now the opportunity to buy a used RS818+ without drives for around 550.- swiss francs.

A empty ds720+ costs me new about 450 swiss francs.

I use the nas for data storage and for streaming home made fotos amd movies ro my tv via apple tv.
Also for synching/backup my files to dropbox automatically.

Can you tell me with which one of the above you would go?
Would you buy new Harddroves or just transfer the current ones into the new nas?

Thanks a lot
Roger

Is there an equivalent product available that supports USA sales and supports PLEX?

Hi!

I'm a colorist and I want to buy a storage solution that I can edit direct out of.

So, right out of the bat: 10gbe is necessary
I work mostly with ProRes 4444 media, ocasionally RED ARRI Raw media or DPX image sequences all ranging from 1080p up to 6k.
I'm looking for something that can feed all that in realtime to my workstation.

I'm currently interested in the Synology ds1621xs+ or ds1821+, however I don't know if these models would be able to meet my needs and I can't decide between the two.

Thanks for your help I hope I provided you with all the necessary information.


Best regards

Qnap = 2x Ram 8GB or 1 Ram 16GB?

I bought this unit (TS-453D) and I am curious if I should install two (2) new 8GB RAM to add 16GB or is it better to install a single 16GB RAM ?

Thanks in advance

Hi there,

Love the work and videos! I finally at the point to buy NAS for my small business which uses graphics a lot. Architecture.

My thinking has been the DS1520+ plus or the DS620 Slim( I really love the compact form factor). I will be using the full DSM software for Mail, etc. You mentioned Slim has almost all the software as DS1520+ but not sure what software is missing on the slim. I love the small factor but am looking to be pragmatic for the business. Expandilility be nice but not essential at this point as just keen to get onto the NAS SYnology system and can review upgrades in a few years.

So my question fundamentally is, when is the SMB updates due in your opinion? I have mainly waiting for the 10 Gigabit LAN port upgrades across the board. Unclear on why the 1GB is still there. Worth waiting or just get stuck in now on your suggestions re-above comments?

Look forward to your feedback.

Many thanks in advance.

Regards,

Grant
