Exactly what I am looking for. Finally to build my own cloud storage.
- Easy setup - DSM is great and intuitive - Good value compared to more expensive 4+ bay options - Powerful enough for Plex and online photo archive
Great flexibility to make almost whatever size you need. Totally reliable and easy to set up.
- (still) powerful CPU with hardware video processing - upgradeable RAM - SSD cache/storage pool option
Synology has a great product here with the DS1821+. I am able to run a container plus Plex. I have a DS918+. Setting up backups and communication between the two was very straight forward. I wa running a computer with TrueNAS full time, the power draw was pretty high. This unit maxes at out around 60 watts full load. I understand there will be a new version coming out in 2025 but this one meets all of my needs now.
It just works. And in the computer world thats a big win. Runs as fast as a local hard drive.
I was able to replace 2 Raspberry Pi's and a repurposed older desktop with a single compact machine that is SO much easier to maintain. Why did I wait this long?
Good Interface, stable product, great price, good online Video training, easy to setup for basic functions, easy to link to vie home network, TV connections. Quite and good power management.
Very simple setup. No tools needed to put in drives. Just pop them into sleds. Connect the Esata cable & power and your NAS will pick it up right away.
Easy set up Fits well under a g card Great connections
Affordable. And works very well
Automatically works in windows 11, works well
works well, solid throughput, priced right..
- Well made - Nice little heatsink on the chip. - Fast ... really fast !
- Easy to install - Worked pretty much out of box (After reinstall of the regular Intel WI-FI Driver) - Noticed an improvement in WI-FI performance immediately - Bluetooth also worked pretty much right of the box as well
Very easy to install in any PCIE slot and works fantastic.
