the 1819+ is solid, it just is not for any sort of transcoding or multimedia delivering with exception of direct play (which is what i do, direct play)
Given it has been 7+ years and it is FINALLY on sale (when has it really ever been?) is it worth a refresh? This thing stores a lot of my media in a RAID 5 configuration.

What many people do is "demote" their old NAS to an offsite backup unit at a friend's or relative's house. Do a full backup while they are on the same network, then just do incremental backups over the internet.
You could do a big shuffle of drives and make it work with the 12+12+8+8. Let us know additional details and maybe we can point you in the right direction. Or hit up /r/synology.
For example,
$440
- $10 whole foods credit
- $10 small business credit
- $10 gift card bonus
--------------------------------------
$410 before tax.
if you have an amazon prime card, that's another 5% off that. solid deal for a 2020 model.
I have been using Plex for a very long time and I've honestly never streamed to more than a single device (my living room TV), but it's possible that in the future I stream to more as my kids get older. I'd like to buy something like this and kind of set it and forget it.

Although if you're not running Plex and all that, I agree that the Ryzen platform will likely be beefier than the Intel J series... just know your intended purpose. I specifically bought a NAS to have it store a bunch of stuff, run docker and Plex well. The 918+ (and this 920+) does it well.
No reason to have one point of failure in the network.
If you're buying this just to run PiHole, it really is overkill.

Currently:
-Macbook pro holds current photos in process and is backed up over wifi to time machine backup. Theoretically also backed up over cloud to Crashplan, but their incoming upload speed is so slow it never catches up. RAW Photos are pushed to backed up via Amazon Photos in the cloud immediately after moving from camera.
-After processing, photos are moved to 10tb Easystore HD for storage, which I clone every couple weeks to another 10tb Easystore HD. Theoretically anything on those has already been backed up to Amazon Photos cloud, and should have been backed up in Crashplan but probably not. However, since they are not a NAS photos are not actively being backed up.
My Hope:
- Macbook pro backup plan continues.
- Synology storage/backup plan allows improved storage (instead of a single 10tb drive, I can increase the storage capacity by the multiple bays), physical backup (or whatever we call RAID/SHR drive protection), and also have 24/7 backup via a headless backup to a cloud, e.g. Amazon Glacier, etc.
And if anyone wants to tell me a better way I would love to know Wink
Thanks so much!
