Hi Robbie / Eddie,
Just a quick Q or two to ensure I haven't lost the plot...
Am I right in saying that - after a tonne of research - Synology do not have a NAS (5 Bays - 8 Bays) that has an Intel processor with embedded GPU......... with the exception of the mentally priced DS1621xs+ ?
All of the 5-8 bay Synology NAS I've looked at (including the newly released 1522+) all seem to have a Ryzen processor - which from your excellent YT videos - is a bag of sh*t when it comes to transcoding past 1080p ?
How can that be? What are the Synology head's smoking?
I was hoping to get my hands on a 5-6 Bay NAS and would prefer to stay with Synology over QNAP, but Ryzen in a NAS is a deal breaker for me. Thought the 1522+ would have come with a GPU celeron and that would have done the job - even with 1GBe - but not Ryzen. Is there another Synology option?
2nd Q - is there any sign of the 922+ (923+ at this point) becoming a reality?
(I did look at the 653D and the supposed 664D from QNAP, but again - would rather stick with Synology unless there was a solid case for not...
Thanks gents.
