Note - This was recorded back in the 2nd week of October. So there may be references that are out of date now in Dec '22! Apologies for the delay on this one.

Been very happy with my 453E, it really does so much well. Upgraded the entire network to 2.5gbe and it has a been noticeable. Put 2 1tb WD Red nvme drives in Qtier. Runs really cool and super quite, never notice it and it's 2 ft away. Still need to play with Plex, looking forward to that...

Hello @NASCompares, thanks for all of your videos. I have some feedback though, would you please considering adding a visual summary with charts at the ends of your videos? I find it very difficult to digest the information you present here having to watch every individual test result. Thanks again

Thx for the video. I bought Nvidia shield pro in order to be able to play every of my contents in Dolby vision Dolby Atmos I was about to buy a big external drive to connect to it but would it be better to buy a Nas and use the shield pro to access the files via network? Thx Nvidia shield pro + qnap+ 4x 10tb HDD Possible ?

Love these comparisons. I watched the entire video, but I already knew what the end result would be just from the chipsets being used. It ultimately comes down to what you want to use your NAS for. I find the Intel models, because they have an iGPU, are more well-rounded. Yes, the AMD Ryzen models are faster on paper (if you go by base/burst clock speeds) -- but why do you need that on a daily basis? I have a DS920+ running 6 Docker containers (various self-hosted apps), Emby with hardware transcoding, and it's also my file storage and backup device. I have never run into any performance issues whatsoever. I think the Ryzen models, when compared to their Intel cousins (e.g. DS920+ vs DS923+) are very niche devices. Because if you're doing tasks that require you to squeeze every ounce of raw performance out of your NAS, you're entering [at the very least] small business territory. That means you require even higher-end models. I can't think of tasks that can *only* be done by the Ryzen models, that would fall flat on their face on the Intel models. Again, if you're looking for something to run tons of Docker containers on, then you should just get/build a server, or a higher-end NAS.

Also just to add -- It's crazy that simply playing certain 4K videos can absolutely choke your NAS, preventing you from completing other tasks. Imagine a scenario where a home user is watching a video on their Fire Stick, and they're also trying to complete productivity tasks at the same time. The former task will hinder the latter severely.

Great information thank you so much. Would you recommend the Qnap Ts453e for a Roon core as well?

Thanks guys So then my question would be about best practices in the Ripping to mitigate hardware limitations..... And.... Can you add a graphics card to the Synology to do the work? I bought a 1622+ because, well I guess I did not homework enough... But I use the little server for a ton more than just Plex. Added 64 GB ram, 2 TB R/W NVMe and SSDs for system drives. It is magnitudes faster than original config 🤓. I use DVDFab, Leawo, MakeMKV, HandBrake for ripping. Usually MKV because I can jump around during playback faster than MP4 (but I miss embedded tag and poster support). So far, we watch on a new gen Apple 4K and ROKU 4K. So I think I'm okay with any format. But I'm wondering if there are formats, settings, etc that we can do at RIP time that would makes things even smoother without downgrading quality. 🤔

It seems clear that Synology has no interest in home or multimedia use, favoring the business side of the house. This has become apparent via many areas such as lack of graphics chips, no DTS support, as the list goes on. Good one mate - Thanx

Wonderring what "Make My CPU Hurt" does because I can't see any difference on both CPU usage and quality. I guess it's here in case of SW transcoding ?

I believe I saw some stuttering on the QNAP in scenarios where the Synology did fine. 7:43 , 8:14, and pretty much in all clips, even when CPU load is low and integrated graphics is being used, very annoying. Btw. I have just bought a QNAP TS-464, but haven't installed it yet

i still took the DS1522+ at the end. I will never by the plex pass, so enabling the hardware transcoding will be useless for me. And i will check hardware on the client side to choose. So the ds1522+ with the extra bay, higher clocked is an easy choice
