DiskStation DS918+

wont be enough, the sales are not only plummeting because of the HDD debacle but also because their new systems simply suck, they are still using old CPUs without an iGPU so no hardware transcoding which is a huge downgrade to the previous models. the best Synology model a home user can buy is a use

Synology Works great! Maybe try to get an older used model for cheap. I have ds918+ and its a workhorse.

A little bit different setup but I have unas pro, and I had synology rs1221+ (sold) i still have Synology DS918+. I have Intel NUC 13th gen for the apps. Personally for me synology has way more of different features but 99% of them i am not using. I think the best advantage of synology is iscsi supp

I used Synology Photos on my DS918+ NAS for multiple years, and switched to Immich about 1 year go. It's a much better platform, the web and the mobile apps. Synology Photos, by comparison, it's more basic and less flexible, and like all the other apps from Synology its development is stale. I like

Yes - I use a synology NAS for both my plex and homebrige, working well so far. I guess the unifi plugin for homebridge requires a certain amount of hardware to run smoothly (ie maybe don’t try a raspberry pi).

I had it on DXP2800 and DXP4800 for short time> no complains. Now I have a DXP 4800plus and it´s running with no problems since 2-3 Weeks. I´m not panning to use it as my primary NAS ( MainNas DS720 ) but i´m using it as Jellyfin/PlexServer, Torrent, HomeAssistent, BackupNas. Main Nas (sensitive Dat

This ^^^ I moved Plex Media Server from a DS918+ to an i5-10500 Ubuntu PC a couple years ago. Best move ever. No problem transcoding, burning subtitles, etc. It is a bare metal installation, no 20+ containers. Just Plex Media Server and Tautulli via Snap. Plenty of headroom should I want to add anyt

It depends on your goals. If you value the simplicity of a single device that does "everything", the ease of cable management, fast response times between services, etc, stay with one box. If you value the freedom to do "whatever you like, regardless of vendor", splitting them up might be a good ide

Ich bin jetzt bei knapp 1,8TB und ca. 80k an Objekten. Synology Fotos ist nicht gut, vor allem nicht beim Syncen. Parachute ist super beim Backup der iCloud Library. Meine ersten Versuche auf einem rpi5 mit Immich waren trotz lokaler ssd bei der Datenmenge richtig schlecht, die mobile App hat sich i
