Hello,
I posted up debating either the Synology 920+ or the 923+ ... because the 923+ is newer, it is probably the on that I am looking to get :/
I have looked at the Synology compatibility list for the 923+ for the Seagate Ironwolf Pro drives; however, they're not listed ... but the Seagate Ironwolf are ...
Are the former not listed because they're doing testing and probably will be compatible (Seagate ST4000NE001 IronWolf Pro) , or are they actually not compatible?
I only assume they would be compatible because they are for the 920+ ...
What are they key differences between Seagate IronWolf and the pro - all I can see is the RPM .. some say lower RPM is better than the 7200 ... but others say the pro HDD (whcih are 7200) have a long life expectancy ...
(as I am completely unsure if I'm getting the right machine with the 923+; I'm not sure if this is a sign to ditch the 923+ and get the 920+) hehe
I think the 923+ is the right move as it's newer and will cope with plex things ...
one thing I'd also like to ask is about 'media-side' transcoding?
I recall in a video NASCompares (?Robbie) says that you can buy a 'lifetime pass' which would help out a 923+ NAS if it were to struggle (presumably this would be transcoding to then send/stream to a device?) ...
Say I didn't have the pass , so the NAS was relied on; would the 923+ struggle sending the stream to devices (say a TV / iphone) which is linked on the same LAN -- or is the problem rooted with streaming / sending the data via the net?
