DiskStation DS1522+

A N150 PC is head and shoulders above a Synology NAS for running Plex Media Server. Use a Syno NAS for storage, but run PMS on a different system. The N150 is a more powerful CPU than the Intel Celerons or AMD Rxxxx CPUs used by Synology. Furthermore, the Intel Graphics in the N150 is more capable t

Way too old, and do NOT shop for new Synology. Last generation is basically Synology's "death date". People are going "what the fuck is this dude going on about?" Well, I'm going on about Synology requiring the use of their own branded HDDs and NVMEs moving forward just to access basic features. So

Yup. Same, I had a lot of ex-enterprise drives and was worried I'd be stuck one day. Plus the quality issues... I had some corrosion issues with a DS418play that was out of warranty, and after replacing it, I later tore it down and cleaned it. Then I realized how incredibly cheap and prone to corros

I had a few Synology boxes over the years before their PR disaster of forcing people to use their drives and then backpedaling. My current box is a DS1522+ with their OS, DSM. For my next NAS, looking either a Ugreen box or TrueNAS as DIY build. There’s also Xpenology which is open source very simil

Was thinking this or getting a Synology ds1522+. The mini PC seems like it's more powerful than the nas?

J’ai un synology ds1522+ et un autre avant ça. Points importants à regarder: que veux-tu faire avec ? si VM il va te falloir quelque chose de costaud acheter de la Ram ? Dernièrement, synology a eu beaucoup de mauvaise publicité car ils ont voulu imposer des disques certifiés synology et la non comp

.....spoke too soon. Worked with both set to same, then had to deactivate login in UniFi to connect. Now one Synology (DS220+) connects fine & the other (DS1522+) doesn't. Same settings. Annoying.

Yeah, it feels like Synology has taking a step back from wanting to be the best nas manufacturer for consumers. Their focus definitely seems to be on software only. Most of their models are quite dated, but with that said, they seem to run a long time. Their naming nomenclature ends with the year th

Kind of reminds me of todays emails. I get many by the way. A DS1522+. Not working. Adapter is new. So from what I have seen with so many of these. And many AMD units. The CPU is fried. YES! All the AMD based units here are less then 4 years old. Almost all with dead CPU's. Something we don't see wi

What I would do differently:Purchase a NAS with an intel CPU that has QuickSync on chip for transcoding my media. I had found a good deal on Synology DS1522+ with AMD CPU and only realized a week later that I needed a transcoder. I then purchased an Intel NUC with a 16 core 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM
