I've been using a DS1513+, DS1515+ and a DS3018xs over the last few years, I absolutely love them, the DS3018xs is for Plex , it’s ok for normal stuff up to 1080p, but no good for 4k.
I have a question regarding HDD setup on my new setup I am going to purchase soon.
I am looking at the following Synology setup:
Either a DS3622xs+ or a DS1823xs+ (I’ll put in an extra 8gb memory)
One 2TB ssd drive as Pool 1 (to be used for DSM and applications)
Four 14TB drives as Pool 2 using SHR (for storing all movies/TV shows, expanding as I need).
Two 1TB M.2 drives for Cache
I’m not sure if my thinking of putting DSM on a separate SSD is viable or not, I’m hoping it would give Plex a nice big jump in performance.
I was hoping Synology would have something similar in performance to the QNAP H874.
Unfortunately, I really love the Synology products I have so I’d like to stay with them, I just can’t find a beefy system like the QNAP….he says with a tear in his eye.
Thanks
