Hi
Need some advice on synology 916+ nas upgrade
I’m contemplating of upgrading from a 916+ I’ve happily utilised it for many years
Although its not tired but i dare not run any more docker containers on it. My memory is fine at 5gb available from 8gb, but cpu is moslty hovering between 40-60% as i’m running homebridge with quite a bit of devices and cameras also home assistant and adguard.
The rest of the NAS is just used as a 4k hdr streaming nas …..direct to a dlna device for nvidia shield streaming etc
No transcoding as i can always see plex getting very laggy and tired so didn’t bother
Wondering if I should do the same but been pit off by the processor, at the same time just about got familiar with DSM.
Is there an alternative synology with powerful enough processor for me to get another 5 years of getting cpu hammering or is it a big enough jump from 916- 923 or even 920 …. Bear in mind my 916-+ doesnt have any ssd cache
Will that make a big difference??
I can possibly just use the 916 as additional backup or is the any other useful methods of utilising the second nas although my business need aren't huge
Any advice is appreciated
