Upgrade - Enquiries - 03-18-2024
Currently using a DS115 with a WD20EFRX. No faults and very little used but aware of the age. I keep family photos on the NAS and back up my business laptop to it using Drive. Also have C2 back up. Recently tried backing up my iPad because I was trying to use it for business but have reverted to the old laptop.
Now synchronising my laptop files with one cloud and backing up to DS115.
I looked at the Beestation but not sure I like the inability to change the drive. Also believe they might be using a lower quality drive.
Looking at DS223J. Will I see a big improvement in performance? Is this just the memory and chip or do 2 drives help too? Could I utilise my current drive in new NAS or must it be matched exactly?
Would I be better looking at the DS 223 with 2MB memory or even a 224+. Obviously prefer the price of the 223J
Thanks for your assistance. Mo idea who else to ask.
Love your videos!

You will find all new models much faster than your NAS. The difference is RAM. More is always better. Here is comparison https://nascompares.com/answer/synology-2-bay-nas-range-compared-ds223j-ds223-ds224-dva1622-ds723/
