DS920+ DS923+ - VACowboy - 12-20-2022
Good evening,
I am seriously considering the DS923+ but then I started reading/hearing about the difference in the processors between the two devices. As I understand it, the Rysen chip on the 923+ does not have an onboard GPU and therefore cannot perform hardware encoding on the chip.
Will someone explain to me the real world significance of this?
My NAS needs are:
1. Backups - as part of a 3-2-1 backup solution.
2. Multimedia - moving some DVDs/Blu-Rays to the NAS after ripping.
3. Virtual Machines - Windows 10/11, Kali Linux.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Yes, this might be confusing to understand.
In simple terms, ds923+ is not good for remote access. Either it is videos or CCTV.
DS920+ has no issues like this.
Both NAS work just fine in home network though. If you need 10GbE upgrade option, only ds923+ support it.
I hope this helps.
