923+ Build

[Enquiries]

Hello, I am building out a new NAS that will have 3 main functions.

1. Ultra fast storage for Video and photo storage viewing and editing: using 2TB Usable NVME Mirrored RAID 1 Crucial NVME P3 (Storage Pool - Not cache)
2. Synology System OS and apps: 2 x 1Tb Crucial SSD MX500's in Raid 1 SHR config
3. Surveillance Station storage: 2 x 4TB Crucial SSD MX500's in RAID 0 Config 8TB usable storage with zero redundancy for the videos themselves.

I know many will say all SSD is overkill, but I CARE about latency and response time more than throughput... I want my searches to be as fast as possible.

Also plan to max memory to 32GB (crucial) and add the 10Gb interface module.

I welcome any feedback/warnings and recommendations.

If you are buying DS923+ it only supports Synology SSD.
If you build Xpanology server, then this is quite a nice setup. Maybe for surveillance, I would use Purple drives. But that's just a price preference.

I hope this helps.
