Synology 2024 - Confirmed Releases, Leaks, Rumours and Predictions

[@VividMac101]

I can’t wait for more Synology products that are crippled out of the box by 1GbE ports.

[@Dextermorga]

Good for you 🙄

[@mesonto]

Yes I share your disdain for this ancient port.

[@tomhethro]

Hey @NASCompares now that we are weeks away from 2024 do you have any updated thoughts on the 6-8bay lines refresh? any fresh rumours?

[@rcurtisfl02hsv]

Any more news/rumours about a DS1824+ ???

[@burkec33]

Why doesn't Synology have a 2- or 4-bay Slim series (using SSDs)? Seems like the compact size and low noise would attract some SOHO buyers.

[@MasterMind187b]

plus 10gbit and thunderbolt port. and videocreator will love it.

[@eklavyathakkar]

Please create KZbin shorts for this and other videos…will help get footfall to channel….40 min video good for hardcore NAS people and shorts will be good for enthusiasts/beginners

[@pstgh]

Is there any chance the next big DSM release will get rid of the "unverified disk" nag screen warnings when you utilize HDDs that are not manufactured by Synology?? What a freaking JOKE. Oh and after they introduce a switch, can we look forward to more nag screens if you're not using their switch??

[@elodiecemoi3057]

DSM indicates a screen warning when using a non-Synology disks, just because Synology wants to push you to buy their "Synology branded" disks: there is NO other technical reason. So this warning will surely not be removed ! In addition before buying a new NAS to replace my old DS413, I will double-check with the forums that the DS1824+ will accept both non-Synology disks, and non-Synology RAM: if there is too many issues artificially created by Synology, I will go to another brand whithout any hesitation, even I would prefer to stay with Synology....

[@chrishalle1982]

When do you expect the release of DSM 8? After 6.2 there was 7.0

[@paulbritton1436]

DS1624+ please

[@tombouie]

!WOOHOO! finally the DS1824+ a-coming; Yous-gots-tos Save me the 1st one Robie ;)

[@SangHoang]

DS1824+ please!!!

[@Donbros]

Yeah i need nas i hope it comes out soon

[@km3481]

Are you going to do the same for QNAP an Asustor? QNAP ha 5.1 release a weeks or 2 ago now. The Flashtor have really picked up a lot of interest. I might buy a 6 flash version and try it as a plex server.

[@themodesttraveler745]

approaching 100k subs this is nice :-)

[@elvisbarukcic7842]

I think on long term NVMe NAS systems will prevail since it will allow still affordable storage price and with a good processor...also very good solution to run multiple VM's and containers at the faster speed rate. I just can't believe that SYNOLOGY is so behind after the NVMe development compared with the ASUSTOR, QNAP or even UGREEN ....

[@CalBru]

We're in the era of data hoarders virtualization and Jellyfin/Plex. I'd argue for 6 to 8 bay consumer solutions with low power and lots of cores for virtualization for future proofing. AI, while the "hot topic", isn't today's issue outside of limited uses (photos). Hard to find satisfactory NAS in the market and certainly not Synology's hardware :(

[@Donbros]

Agree. AI is good for cameras and phones (from consumer perspecrive) and not for data storage right now unless its some google or specific big data field

[@neilm9400]

Still running a ds2413+ and ds918+ ... My 12 bay is being sweated to death

[@hicobra]

I'd just be happy getting a 2.5G nic on a plus series at this point. So I can use that one on my RT6600AX

[@SithLordRover]

Do you think they might do a new a DVA model this year with the advancements in AI technology?

[@themodesttraveler745]

ed looks at things from a bussiness stand point and you think of what the user wants its a nice team you have

[@km3481]

The world has moved on. My tastes in media and performance expectations have changed. A newer processor and 2.5gbe nas struggles at times, Synology isn't relevant for most people I know. I love the software and having an email server, but there is no way is it worth it. Again, most users will be lucky to be in the OS once a month, they want performance in the job it's doing.

[@km3481]

@@_nick___ Any competitor with say a 4 bay nas and SSD and m2.nvme (Tier or Volume) will max out 2.5 gbe. More NAS purchases are all moving to faster storage. For Synology to release something like the 423 is simply ludicrous no amount of cool aid will change that. That is why I dumped them a while ago. Don't like losing options and paying more for 4 year old stuff.

[@JayDV8]

Any rumors of an upgrade of the RS1221RP+ Wanting to replace my aging, I still love it though, DS2415+ since it got cut out of the 7.2 upgrade. #sadnas

[@noobydoo]

DS124 is such a weird product line. It is a DS223J with only 1 bay, and priced almost similar. Since both have the identical spec, CPU and Ram, I went with DS223J that gets me an additional bay. I think DS124 should be price much lower. If there ever a DS123J, the only difference between the 2 is color. So weird.

[@ArtemMelanich]

I think a bulk of a price is not hardware for Synology, that's why you see those weird margins.

[@thedeejlam]

Yikes, it was like listening to a Synology apologist from your guest. Excited about Syno boxes? And 10GbE for the Plus series is "never going to happen; it will always be upgradable"? First, I think we can make a stronger argument for being agast over excited, especially hardware wise. Synology leans on its software, which is fair to a point, but its contemporaries across portfolio segments up and down the line have [had already] superior hardware -- and openness. Networking, check. Processors and pre-installed memory, check. SSD storage without artificial fences, check. NAS reviewers could take some cues from how GPUs are examined, including the impact the tech press can have. If Synology was putting out graphics cards against QNAP, for example, you'd be skewering the former. 1GbE would be akin to not offering AV1 encoding. And the proprietary 10GbE... Jebus... you should have the picture by now. To address as well the statement about the Plus series and 10GbE: 1) The extreme cost of the XS+ series vis-a-vis the Plus boxes isn't going to really create segment overlap (to say nothing of consumer drive support comparisons); and, 2) Again, the competition that lines up with Synology Plus products is either already there or will be there presently for standard equipment -- or at least with non-closed upgrade paths at worst. I'd say the sibling Asustor flash boxes that just arrived evidence the sea change that's been happening on the garden variety consumer. There's no excuse for spinning rust NASes to lag behind. In Synology's case, it can't claim for too long the R&D for DSM version X, Y or Z is being recovered to impact its margins and therefore what it can pack into their mid-range offrrings. Synology absolutely has the ability to get with the times and mitigate the risks of being left behind if it won't keep up. If it "will never" make changes, its monolith approach to the ever-evolving tech market/world will make it what Compuserve was the World Wide Web at large. To be clear, I own three Syno boxes: an eight bay, four bay and a single bay machine. I'm not going to stick with the brand I'd it can't -- sorry, won't -- give me some sugar, Baby. 2.5GbE as standard on every box is a must. 10GbE on perhaps new eight bay Plus boxes would be progress, too, along with NVMe freedom. And if they really want to be kind, Synology can rewind and unblock USB device restrictions on those outdated type-A ports. ;-)

[@km3481]

I'm with you. How anyone can give a pass for releasing this stuff like the 423 is totally mind blowing. The reality i live in has everyone talking like you and I and are dumping synology. It's almost like the internet wants people to buy synology. QNAP has done a major about face and Asustor has shook up the entire market. Synology is just releasing 4 to 25 year old technology, all the while further removing features and capabilities. We have to grovel to synology just to get a stupid pool, and then find out were totally screwed having to buy their over priced stuff. I really with Nascompares would represent this point of view as well... Maybe other teams of IT folk think different than my circles...

[@PoppaCYS]

@@km3481 I'm somewhat new to NASes and only have experience with Synology. Is Asustor a reliable brand?

[@paulgill-f4c]

do you think there will be a 724+?

[@whya2ndaccount]

Dare I ask (in the unconfirmed section) if we suspect that the motherboards from the DS1824+ will be able to be retro fitted to a DS1821+. That is same chassis, new internals?

[@bobbymoss6160]

Be nice if they expand the HDD verified list and maybe finally give us 2.5Ghz network.

[@jaro101v]

AV1 support? 🤔

[@themodesttraveler745]

i really like ed he such a nice guy

[@baskling7626]

How about a successor to the MR2200AC, let's say an MR2400AX? It seems silly having to buy a bunch of RT6600AXes or WRX560s, JUST to utilize Wi-Fi 6 in a mesh network, paying for that extra router & security capability when you don't need it. Any news on expanding their WiFi 6-enabled mesh network?

[@slip0n0fall]

Id like to see an affordable refresh of the VisualStation.

[@Shootsmith]

Faster nics?

[@gregwilm9221]

Synology says Nics 2.5 = Stick No Carrot coming ever, people don't want it. Just about $$$

[@AuzFrog]

Always wondered why there is no powerfull one bay nas.. with lots of memory and SSD extension.. Beats raid with a simpler usb3 connected identical backup drive..🤔

[@aware24]

I want an M series Mac Mini working with my Synology Nas. Polishing the same turds.

[@AndysAlias]

the reason Ive been building my own janky NAS is I want 10gb ethernet for my 6 SSDs. If Synology bring out a DS624slim with 10gb ethernet I will be first in line

[@jeffarballo1881]

I'm just curious, I'm interested in purchasing a Synology for our production studio. Has anyone ever been hacked or is that common?

[@ArtemMelanich]

You need to check other videos, they already discussed it, but in a nutshell Synology is one of the most secure NAS providers out there.

[@Basically11]

Still no 6/8 bay refreshes. SAD!

[@MichalJanata_Kalich]

RS1224P+???? 🙂

[@dannylira11]

The channel should be renamed SynologyCompares as lately seems most videos are Synology

[@km3481]

The rah rah synology and bad qnap stick is indeed getting old...

[@jasperverkroost]

I think it does make sense to spend quite some time on Synology as it is the most popular NAS-brand at this moment.

[@RogerWilsonTodd]

Unless Synology has something like the ASUSTOR Flashstor, Synology and their tired, old spinning disks are irrelevant.

[@jasperverkroost]

Would love to see a Synology Flashstor, or even a traditional Synology NAS with at least 4 NVMe-slots that could be used for storage. I mean, there's plenty of room on the bottom of these NAS'ses to do it.

[@paulgill-f4c]

do you think there will be a 724+?
