Won't lie, I'm loving this recent obsession of yours with servers and NAS devices!

what "recent obsession" ? This is the only video NAS related...

years ago you showed us an ITX NAS build in a lian li 10 drive small case, bought that and used it for 6 years, still have the case and supermicro itx mobo, worked great

DS1522+ comes already with 8GB memory out of the box, so for the price of the memory upgrade on this one is already cheaper to go immediately to the 1522+ model.

I realize there are some cool features with the Synology platform, but I'm likely gonna do the DIY thing for my first NAS. I just love a good computer build. It will still have plenty of utility and will become a fun Homelab/Linux platform learning experience for me as I want to expand my knowledge and get into some more IT-adjacent kind of work.

Hey @teksyndicate , How much max capacity NVME m.2 SSD we can use individually in DS923+ NAS. I am buying after your response. It will more helpful if u reply.

I just got this yesterday and i regret not ordering the network card....its taken😮 me forever to transfer 8TB of data 😂 -- i just ordered one from a 3rd on amazon cause theyre out of stock However, it was so fast to get it going. I have docker, plex, git, code server, tailscale, etc installed and running.

As someone who (quickly realized) they bought an under powered Synology as their first NAS, I haven't really done much but backups because of all the limitations (including & especially my network) I'd dig deeper dives on some of the other Synology apps like photos/music etc. Got a question though, I have 0 need for a 9 bay NAS, can you add extra RAM, 10gbe, & pool memory to one of the smaller ones?

@andrewf.7813 4 ай бұрын

That naming thing (the nr 9) can't be right? I have a DS214play and I can plug in the 5 bay expansion bay,..so the number should be DS7XXX. I am always so confused by the naming of their disk stations.. Other than that, your video was helpful

Can you help me please? So I wanna run a media server ( plex ) with 4 x 12 TB drives for my 4K HDR movies. whats the best option for me? DS923+? DS423+? or build a DIY NAS? ( I Do have a spare 13900K, RAM and PSU so I need to buy a MB and Case for it) please advise.

I got a synology NAS a year ago and I love it. How I managed to live without a NAS for so long is beyond me. The only thing I have trouble with is accessing my files remotely through SMB or webDAV. I use tail scale to connect into my network, I can map network drives on a Windows client remotely, however as soon as I go to transfer files the transfer stops after a few moments. The only work around I found is to use Synology drive through a web browser to download files over the internet. Do you know if there's a better way?

Moving your old drives over to the new? I also have a DS918, but it’s like 5 years old by now. Hoping Synology will upgrade their line soon but then I will also buy new hdd’s. How old were yours? I guess after 5-6 years it’s about time to buy new drives anyway

@teksyndicate 4 ай бұрын

I actually replaced my drives earlier this year. I had 4 smaller drives in my DS918... so I get my new, larger EXOS drives... and I swapped the first one out... waited a couple days for everything to update... then swapped the second out and waited a couple day, etc. After a week, all my drives were working. That's one of the things I really like about Synology's Raid... you can swap out different drives. If your current drives are not reporting any issues, they should be good to go. You can swap them out, one at a time, whenever one goes bad.

since you're using Audio Station, do you happen to have problems with whole albums being skipped on playback? I've been having all kinds of problems with FLAC files and Synology support couldn't figure out anything, multiple times, ended up wiping all .cue sheets splitting into individual tracks, and completely disabling .cue support in Audio Station but still many files fail to play, randomly after system updates, reboots etc... as if the indexing service screwed its database randomly

@teksyndicate How does this compare to your Asustor AS6704T? Which would you recommend for an all purpose NAS? Thanks!

@praetorxyn 5 ай бұрын

I have a DS918+ and it irritates the crap out of me how outdated Docker is on DSM. It's Docker 20.10.3, latest is 24.0.9, so Synology is 4 major versions behind, which is just unacceptable. This keeps me from being able to have one Docker Compose stack include another Docker Compose stack. I can probably manually update it, but I haven't attempted it as I figured it might break Synology's Container Manager or something.

Long time viewer hear... This is off topic, but prime day just came on and I am looking at the Hifiman edition XS and I would love a recommendation for a dac+amp for my PC. I basically want to pay the minimum for now without destroying the audio quality of the headphones. Coming from sony 7506 with angled earpads, I am hoping this will be a big bump. Any advice input would be appreciated. ***this is for the holy trifecta.. gaming, music, and movies.

I recently put my UGreen DXP8800 NAS to some abuse of 10TB+ transfer & syncs of data in the past 4 days and it choked. I also have a lot of docker containers running 24/7 on it. No lost data though. Just had to forcefully reboot it... lol This NAS is more for fun and learning as well as a backup media server. My important data lives on my Synology DS1621xs+ that has an old but reliable Intel Xeon CPU and 32GB ECC RAM. Been running for years 24/7 without missing a beat~ 💪

Why did you moved away from Asustor?

@praetorxyn 5 ай бұрын

When he did the Asustor videos he said he used both. His important work stuff was on the Synology and he was using the Asustor for other stuff. The bottom line is that Synology's hardware is objectively crap compared to their competitors at similar price points, but most people consider DSM (the software) leagues ahead of their competitors. I personally find DSM pretty limiting and tend to stick with third party apps instead of first party ones anyway, as I don't want to get trapped in a particular ecosystem, so it doesn't really do much for me. DSM is going to be more reliable than the others, but you could get an Asustor and put TrueNAS Scale on it and it would be as rock solid as DSM is, it's just that TrueNSS Scale requires a certain willingness to learn that DSM doesn't.

What’s your current set up after switching? I’m debating between this and just diy’ing my own. The biggest pull towards Synology is the DM software, it just seems so good and people say it’s very reliable and “set it and forget it”.
