    Thank you very much for sharing this content! I have watched several videos in the past few weeks and would have loved to have seen them before purchasing my old nas QNAP TS-253 PRO. I'm strongly considering purchasing a Synology DS923+ or 723+. Only I can't get my files off my old nas since my motherboard is broken. I have already tried to read this through a program like R-Linux which should be able to read my RAID 1 configuration. But unfortunately this doesn't work. Is it possible that I can read the disks on the Synology DS923+? I hope you can help me?

    I have a random question that is not related to this video, I have a DS420+. I had an old 4TB drive that had all my data (taken out of a WD NAS). I bought the DS420+ with one drive with the intention of using the old drive as a second drive. Turned out to be badly degraded so I took it out. Now I have this “storage degraded” message constantly and cannot remove it. I tried creating an SSD cache and it is not allowing me because the unit is “in an abnormal state”. Please help. I want the unit to accept that it will not be having a second drive anytime soon. Drives are expensive

    Hi, quick question. Since I am considering purchasing NAS I would like an advice which should I pick: 923+ vs 1522+. I would say that I don't really need 5-bay option (for now I am considering putting in some 8TB drives - was looking at IronWolf (I would like some on the quieter side), but the price difference is not that hight so I am rather baffled which should I opt for. Usage which I am considering is mostly storage server, with optional virtual machine.

      Get 4 drives. If you need more space consider getting larger drives from the get go. Replacing them for larger drives later is possible one by one with SHR.

    Great review. Can you run dsm on the ssd storage. Is it possible to move the existing installation to the ssd? And if so do you think the power consumption would be reduced because the hdds only hold data and the hdd are in sleep mode until you really need data if them. If so I think this could be a very big reduce of power consumption....

    Even as a long time Synology user, I really hate the penny-pinching here. The USB, network ports, lack of GPU, hugely expensive expansion boxes and network card upgrades, and the pushing toward own-branded drives, are all big turn-offs for me. Adding 2.5GbE, better USB, and a Ryzen with graphics would have cost them next to nothing, literally a few dollars. The NVME storage is an unexpected bonus, but I'm not seeing anything here pulling me away from the QNAP TS-464. Just seems a better all-rounder.

      @@wvansluisveld3011 You could put snapshots on it, direct backups to it or for redundancy and mirror your QNAP. I kept an old NAS for redundancy on the network for a while for, but after awhile I pulled it as I didn't see the point. I just use snapshots and backup to an external drive to put offsite or in a safe. The ports on the qnap are gen 2, so backups are pretty quick. You will be very happy with one of the QNAPs, they really do everything pretty darn well. I was thinking about going with the high end full intel processor versions at one point, but the 453E/464 are really great at what they do. They are the best value NAS I could find.

As said in the video, Synology have tested their own drives on the slots and bays, so that describes their 'ideal' setup. But we all use a lot of different drives in our NAS units so they'd be really shooting them self in the foot it they restricted this in some way.

      For that money, I think you might be in the ballpark for a QNAP with a real I3/I5/I7/I9 processor. You would be getting the best performance possible. Streaming media is super easy. Recommend you get a solid hardware firewall with capable features (IPS, Geoblocking, etc.) before exposing anything on your network to the outside world.

    4:10 did I understand correctly that in early 2023 there might be the chance of a DS920+ successor for prosumers? This mentioned 'value series' may indeed fill the gap that the DS923 has left in regards to transcoding. Gosh I am still in doubt: My DS216+II is old and the two bays only became a big burden but I am hesitating to still buy the DS920+ or keep waiting. In regards to the DS923+ I just dont see how I personally benefit from 10GBit and 32GB RAM upgrade possibilities. (My entire network is all 1GBits only) and the high RAM I dont see use neither. The only really cool thing is the ECC. Wait & hope for 2023 or grab the 920+ on Black Friday? Uff! Nevertheless. I enjoyed watching the full review. Thanks a million for this video and all the previous ones covering the topic.

    Great review! I just bought a DS923+ and I got one problem - it's very noisy. I'm still waiting for the hard drivers to come, but wanted to check if the DS923+ works fine without any drives. I'd say the fans are at 100% all the time (even if there are no drives in it and there's no high CPU usage).
    Just worried if that's normal or should I replace them with more silent fans (Reddit says about Noctua fans).

      @@adriellevy2207 Hey buddy, sorry for the late reply but I finally managed to get more insights after my drives have arrived.
      So overall: the NAS is loud (especially when using server disks - clicking when disk in usage). After installing the drives, the fan noise was slightly reduced (I think it was caused by the empty space in the enclosure).
      I've even replaced the stock fans with Noctua - In my opinion, it's just not worth it.
      Using any noise reducers provided by Noctua (the pin adapters which reduce the power on the cable, which directly translates to lower RPM on that fan and in the end producing less nose) unfortunately won't work here as Synology will automatically kill the power to these fans if they'll go under specific RPMs (system will send beeps that the fan doesn't work and start them again until reboot).
      So I ended up with Noctua fans only, which are a little bit quieter than the stock ones, but IMO not worth the deal.
      Regarding the fans - yes, they're running all the time (at low RPM).

    The problem with 1G ports is that even if you have 10 x 1G ports it's inferior to a single 10G port.. if you have a single file transfer it will always be using a single port, so it you want to copy a BIG single file and you have one hundred 1G ports, the max you'll get is still limited to a single interface.. such a stupid move by synology

    • @bback74
      @bback74 Рік тому

      If the links are bundled (LACP) as Synology supports) you will utilize all the ports in the channel even with a singel file transfer. A large file transfer will be divided up in several flows and each flow will be load balanced over all the 1 gig links in the bundle. If you dont belive me read the RFC for LACP or just wikipedia it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_aggregation

    • @SheriefElHamalawy
      @SheriefElHamalawy Рік тому

      @@bback74 you need to understand the concept of tuples hashing to understand why LACP by itself will never send over multiple links if a single flow is used. There are "other ways" that can send over multiple links like per packet load balancing ( or per frame ) in that case. all LACP does is bundle 4 links to use a single mac address as a destination by sequence a single IP address for the member links.. how traffic is load balanced, that's completely dependent on the hashing algorithm in which even if you're using all 7 tuples, it will still use a single link.
