False.
224+ has Intel cpu and GPU.
Hardware transcoding works great on this box.

DS224+ is Intel, not AMD. Just stop posting.

How hard is it to migrate from a DS220+ to DS923+? I had two 6TB drives, but would upgrade to four 12TB+ drives.

Pop the drives out and put them in the new NAS. It's that easy. Just went through it with DS212J to DS220+.

Stop spreading misinformation, boy or girl. These are all capable of transcoding, albeit 1080p. Only the DS224+ will handle 4K.

I really wish the 1522+ would go on sale for $560 again. Otherwise I'll just get the 923+
I'd say the 1522+ is worth it even at $600… considering the 8gb ECC and 5th bay. Otherwise, the specs are identical to 923+.

I saw $580 recently. I might be tempted.

What is the bid deal with transcoding? Can't your computer or media player just do it streamed?

Only Intel integrated graphics are supported by Plex for hardware transcoding, so it definitely matters what you plan to do with the NAS.

For simple file hosting and transfer? Any do that. For Plex transcoding? You need an intel cpu

Many client devices need a specific format to play media, hence transcoding

You can Direct Play remotely.

Almost any client device these days will support h264 so you shouldn't even need to transcode.

All my stuff is HEVC (h265) and it still Direct Plays to all my client devices (no transcoding).

If you're transcoding, you're using some very old devices or are not doing something right.

I've been using Synology DS214SE for the last 10 years just to backup photos/videos, etc. I'm tempted to pick up the DS224+. What would the transfer process look like? Can I just pull the disks out of my old NAS and swap it into the new one?

Literally just bought the DS923+ from Amazon for 593$. Think Amazon with price match this offer, or should I buy and return?
