nascompares has a great article covering Plex support across the Synology models:

https://nascompares.com/2021/03/1...1-edition/

Per this - no support for hardware transcoding.

Some other links I've found particularly useful:
CPUs: https://www.synology.com/en-us/kn...y_NAS_have
Max Storage Size: https://www.synology.com/en-globa...limitation
Hybrid RAID calculator: https://www.synology.com/en-us/su...0TB|4%20TB

I've been hunting for a used NAS for the past month and while I'd love to save a few hundred vs new, it seems that the newer NAS' are way better than the yesteryear ones. Anything 4-bays or bigger tends to hold their value quite well on the used market as well - at least in the case of Synology - which I prefer for their hybrid raid.

For a noob like me, after all of my hunting, I've decided on the 920+ just for the simplicity of it all.
Very good price. Unfortunately the price of storage is currently cost prohibitive for me. Good deal for plenty of other people though I'm sure
$800 and i don't remember if I seen it on sale for below $720 ever... usually around $750

Do you know if you can just lift-and-shift the HDDs into new unit w/o any issues? Currently have the 918+ as well and looking to upgrade.

Yes, I think I'll be able to move them exactly as you mentioned. I know that as long as you keep the same HDD order, this should work.
Would love to hear other options in case I'm wrong.

Any converters,adapters?

Quote from Thoang77 :
What would you be using it for that would necessitate starting with RAID0?

You wouldn't be able to add to a RAID0 volume, but you could add 2 drives into a separate volume running SHR (synology hybrid raid, essentially RAID1 or RAID5) and then add the existing drives into that new volume. If you need to keep the files on the RAID0, you'd have to transfer the files from the RAID0 volume to the new SHR volume and then add the drives from the RAID0 volume into the new SHR volume after you've moved the data.

If you start from SHR (RAID1 with 2 drives, RAID5 with 4+) expanding by adding more drives or upsizing the current drives is effortless.
I misspoke. I meant I would start with Raid mirroring which is RAID1. I am glad the feature exists.

Nope - best I've seen is $500 + shipping, "NIB".

Where did you see this, if you don't mind?

As a creator of many DIY NAS, this is appealing. If you don't have to rely on Synology-branded 10gbe card, then this could be something good. Add in those cache drives and Synology DSM's WAF factor, this is not a bad deal.

If you're DIY, you can obviously go a lot further, but the cost is going to creep up to about the same. And then there's the time factor of DIY.

really wish you could mix and match drive sizes in synology's like you can with Unraid. That plus the increased cost of storage makes the entry point way too expensive for me
Um, you can totally mix and match drive sizes in synology.

Thanks OP! I bit on it... my Ds1515+ is aging, and I don't trust the atom chip (already on a replacement unit).

From the reviews I've read, not a big jump from the 1618 on throughput alone. CPU is better for VM but doesn't have Intel's hardware acceleration for video. You'll also need to track down ECC RAM if you plan on upgrading.

Not sure it's worth the upgrade for people happy with their 1618.

You don't have to rely on Synology branded 10gbe card, memory, or nvme cache. I use the Mellanox Connect-x3, some ECC memory I got off ebay, and WD Black SN750 for the nvme cache. Way cheaper than buying Synology's branded components, and they all work great on this NAS.

Does anybody know if you can run a normal Linux distribution on this? I really like the specs and the chassis, but I don't want to work with the Synology software.

If you want to run something non-synology, you may find better value in another brand. Synology does have great durability but the OS is one of their main selling points over other brands.

Nice! Ordered one. It will replace my working but aging Synology DS1511+. Low stock alert right now.

What is the best ram upgrade for this? It seems that it has 4gb preinstalled. Is it soldered or removable? Just add +4gb or more?
