This one seems to be a better deal IMO. A x86 processor with 4GB RAM

This was $135.99 Nov. 25th, 2021 at B&H. I just use it for music but seems fine. Perfect for my uses. If you are looking for transcoding you have to spend the money for it. The newer OS (DSM7) seems a little bit faster but if you use USB audio dongles and some other quirky, non-core, DSM features you'll lose out if you go to DSM7. It doesn't state which is installed on this one. I assume it ships with DSM6 since 7 only came out officially in the summer.
Thanks back-to-the-future mate! So I will just have to wait for a couple of weeks to get it at a lower price! 😂

On a slightly more serious note though, what's the chance of a lower price around Black Friday?

No sh*t. It's almost twice as expensive.

if you just need this as a network drive for sharing docs/pics, probably no reason to pay for for a 220+ right?
Right

I have this and use it for the same, plus serve files to my plex box (NUC). Works great and much more cost effective.

Yeah. I've used a WD NAS (white light) for so many years before Synology just for sharing and archiving, it's still running fine after 10 years, so sure, for basic sharing no need for high end material

That's how we use our 220j (see my comment above your's). It is perfect for that functionality.
I love the Wind and Sea area...haven't been down there in months.

You think a 220+ or 220j could be used as a backup for a 920+, instead of paying Backblaze? It won't be offsite, but that's a very low risk event.​

A few dumb questions…… I'm trying to learn about these to set-up as storage for my wife's photography. Can she save her raw photos directly to the NAS so it doesn't slow the computer down so much? If so, which Synology would you recommend? I appreciate any help.

You can use the USB port of the DS220+ to download photos directly to the NAS

Beautiful out there today Smilie.

The 220J would probably be perfect for that. However, I'm not sure why you would go this route instead of a cloud storage solution. It would take several years from a cost standpoint for the 220J to be more cost effective.

I've been wanting to set up some of my family with Plex. I have them already set up with a mac mini for transcoding but need more storage. Would this work well for only video file hosting to serve Plex on the mac mini?

If you use office suite, (microsoft 365) can also use OneDrive (1TB), as a backup instead of backblaze.

i recommend, if you have the extra money, to get the next model up
better processor, more memory, and the ability to run more Synology apps

if all you need is a file server and backup operation etc....then this is sufficient i guess. i just always recommend you saving up a little bit more and getting the higher model

DS220+ is readily available. Did you mean to type DS221+?

I bought a DS220+ last month for $240 from Walmart and it is very well constructed and quiet with blind mate screwless drive sleds.

I'm looking to replace my company dropbox, with local syncronization. Would this be powerful enough?
Clearly depends on the size of your company…I'll say that I have the 2016 model of this same device and it's worked flawlessly for me…I use it for hosting video files, and for its local-cloud sync capabilities (the Dropbox replacement you mentioned). I'd assume this would be ok for 4-5 users, going much beyond that and it may not be enough storage/too much for it to keep up with file change wise
