I currently have a Synology DS918+ with 4xWDRedPro 16TB drives installed in RAID 5. I do run MariaDB and Plex (no transcoding) natively on the system and having Jellyfin in a Docker. Currently I have around 8.8TB free on the system, I do have a DX517 available with 5xWDRed+ 4TB drives to increase storage as I am always adding more media releases to the system. I am noticing the system is getting slower.
My quandary is what to upgrade to, while I like how DSM works and how simple it makes things but as everyone knows the HW spec is poor, from the current models I am considering either the DS1821+/DS1823xs+ or DS2422+/DS3622xs+ but I am loathed to buy one at the moment. Would I be better moving away to another brand? I don't have anything with more than 1G NIC wise currently but am considering getting a 2.5G switch.
