I honestly don't even need any of the new features in the DS1817+ vs the DS1815+ model seeing as they have the same processor, but it's not like there are any deals for the DS1815+ out there anyway even on eBay (for new, used, or anything in between). However, the upgraded processor alone would be a welcome addition for me (from my DS1812+).
Looks like I have 11 hours or so to decide...

Then I got a QNAP 431. It was night and day. I ended up giving it to my brother since he needed one for his Blue Iris server.
Recently the Q451+ came up for $340 (IIRC). Wanting to move PLEX to a NAS and turn off my PC every now and then, I bit.
What a dream. It is instant. It reads/writes at 100-110MB/s (best I can get out of the Synology is 40-60MB/s). and it pushes 3-4 concurrent transcoded streams on Plex. Granted CPU is pegged at 99%, but it doesn't skip a beat on the client side.
Again, maybe this unit is better than the 213j I have, but seeing how well the QNAP works (in my case), I would not give Synology another go.
I don't have the time to deal with setting up a DIY server and my RAID volume is a bit of mish-mash of drives of different sizes (although I'm adding in 4-5 new WD 10TB Reds as we speak that I got an amazing deal on) so I have to stick with SHR for the moment unless I want to rebuild. I know that there are some setups/hacks out there to get SHR on your own server setup, but it seems like a lot of trouble for something that I have limited time to deal with due to school for at least the next year.
This will basically allow me to keep my entire current SHR-2 Volume intact along with all my current settings and features, while upgrading the processor and some of the other internal things. I've been kind of eyeing the prices for the DS1815+ and DS2415+ for a couple months but deals just do not show up. With this, I get it $30 under MSRP, add in the $30 cash back from RetailMeNot, and avoid tax while getting it from a reputable dealer (aka don't risk it with eBay).
I'm still not 100% sure that it's worth the money to upgrade, as a lot of it depends on how much I can get for selling my DS1812+. Worst case scenario, I'll return or cancel the order.
I host 4K media files and push them to Infuse Pro on my Apple TV, so transcoding isn't really needed, but 2Gb probably won't cut it moving 4K content.
