Hello, I recently purchased a new Synology DS1821+ for $1,035 and the DS1823xs+ for $1596. So, the difference is about $561. My question is the AMD V1780B that much better than the V1500B? Most of the benchmark tests show that the V1780B is almost twice as fast as the V1500B. What I plan on using the NAS for is mainly File Server and media streaming, maybe a few docker containers. Also, the DS1821+ is discontinued and my other concern is the software support which is about 10 years, so I may only have another 6 years of life for this unit. Should I keep the DS1821+ or the DS1823xs+. Is it worth the extra $561.
