First time downloading torrents on Starlink...

The base model Synology NAS, like the DS220J, is infamous for having too little cpu and memory. It will advertise being able to run several apps that will in reality grind the system to a near halt with idle cpu usage at or near 100%. Those tend to get used by some enthusiastic new homelab users who

NAS importado?

Bem, eu tenho um DS220j, creio que qualquer um acima deste seja muito bom, o meu é de entrada.

Personal Experience coming from Synology?

You're moving to a (relatively) less mature product vs Synology. The ecosystem, app market, and DSM have been around for a looong time and have many apps. UGreen, not so much. The first difference from lower-end Synology models is that UGreen models have an internal eMMC system drive whereas Synolog

Kućni NAS cloud/storage/server?

Simple... Synology DS220J (pristupačan, support dva diska itd..). Stvar je jednostavna i super, zašto? -Imaš opciju synca izmedju dva diska (napravi schedule, da ti ne drndaju stalno oba diska). Jedan ti radi stalno, drugi po potrebi (produžiš mu život) ili koristiš jedan za privatne stvari drugi za

Looking for NAS Recommendations

Based on your description and my experience: Don’t bother with BSD based software because it just adds overhead since Linux will be a VM. So maybe OVM but not TrueNAS for instance. Zima is limited to Zima. In fact when I bought a new box I first used OpenWRT which does everything with a Synology-lik

Help upgrading

Synology’s recent restrictions on third-party disks are making me hesitate. They walked it back after public backlash. I guess they should have been quicker to do so (took them several weeks, as I recall). Have you checked how much you'll get for your DS220j? I've heard that selling a 5-year-old Syn

Boot drive failing

My Synology NAS has been awesome. I have lost every file I ever put on PC. I have never lost anything since I bought a DS220j. Unless you count the driver for wireless dongles from the last DS7.0 upgrade 😭
