Great job for calling it how it is. Thanks for your honest opinions!

Your 5 versus 5 videos are the best for people who are familiar with many models and like seeing the cliff notes.

The "don't buy" #3 and #4 really got me. I have a small 9U rack (60 cm deep) in my house and I'm looking for a new nas to replace the aging and no longer sufficiently powerful rs816. One thing I disagree with consistently in your videos is that you don't get the attraction of home rack mounting. There are a lot of people that are now using small racks like the one I have to get rid of all the clutter of networking equipment. And once you have had a rack mounted nas, it's is a *major* pill to swallow, to go to a ds instead of an rs device. But those two arguments are completely true. Also, they don't even have an SFP+ card with NVMe caching, and my 10gb ports are all SFP+. Looks like I have to keep searching for another NAS or take the pill and go with a DS 1621+.

that's my issue.... the 1821 is nice, but not rackable

My 1821 Sits right on top of my rack 😉

Seeing Synology’s limited variety is frustrating, watching your video is not. Great job. Nice to see SHR coming back, hope they come up with SHR-2 for Flash drives

The title says DS1221 but video is RS1221

Would you recommend this nas also by now or are there any better options for 2023? Important. Short Depth, Rackmount, minimum of 4 bases Optional should be available if not directly integrated: SFP+ slot

Great review. I will not buy the rs1221+ because of the issues you mentioned. I was very excited in the beginning. Synology really missed it on this server.

Same here, waited for this for over 1y , and now this ..and no 10Gb included =/

Not even 2.5gbe, Synology is very annoying in this regard

Same on here, waited for long and disappointed. i might go with ds1821+ and a shelf instead and add 10gbe sfp+ nic

If you buy the PCIe E10M20-T1 card, does this solve #1 and #3 from the don't buy list? Seems like adding that card would not only add 10Gbe support but also adds NVMe SSD Caching

Yes, it would 100% counter against the 1+3 don't buys - but at an additional £175-250 depending on where in the world you are, I can't overlook the omission of these on the system. Especially when the DS1821+ has both caching AND an available PCIe. Cheers for the question Arian.

Is this a good NAS to use for Plex server?
@glnknl22323 жыл бұрын
And why does it have USB 3.2 Gen1? Another bottleneck. I don't ever intend to use it that way but imagine backing up your external SSD directly on the NAS. Bottlenecked by the USB port to a pathetic 400MB/s at most. When USB 3.2 Gen2 (10Gb) is readily available or USB 3.2 Gen2x2 over USB C (20Gb) for that matter.

Dude, only the price is small-medium business. The hardware spec is definitely not. The AMD V1500B SoC has 2x 10Gbe but Synology didn't care to put it on a port so they can sell you their overpriced pci-e cards.

It's a so much better deal than the horrible RS1219+ with its horrible CPU in comparison to the DS1819+ was. With the combo card (SSD + 10Gbit), the drawback to the DS1821+ is not huge.
