I've always been kinda confused about the slim variants of Synology NAS units. Are these just for folks who happen to have a bunch of laptop/2.5" HDDs laying around? They don't look like they're THAT much smaller, so I can't imagine people use them for actual space saving reasons. That and the price per gig goes up so much higher and you hit the max drive size so much quicker with 2.5" HDDs. Unless the goal is to use all SSDs, but with these units not having 10G Ethernet ports, what's the point in that?

Yeah, I pretty much agree with what you said. And as you'll notice if you look at the Synology lineup, they don't really focus on this type of device. They are much smaller than the ones that fit 3.5" drives, but without a 10GBe port, as you mentioned, it kind of ruins its major advantage.

You I think I COULD see a use if they made like a 2 bay one that was suuuuper tiny as a competitor/nicer upgrade option for those using Raspberry Pis as a NAS. If it were like $99-150 or so with say 2-4GB of memory, I'd probably grab one just to have it to play around with/for testing running Docker with some light weight containers. Maybe like Pi-Hole or something. Or as a small web server. Or just use it for testing when I dont want to risk messing up my bigger NAS.

This has the Intel Celeron processor so should be able to do Plex transcoding I assume.

It's worth noting that this unit pre-dated Synology's custom 10GBe adapter that they use for smaller chassis (E10G22-T1-Mini ), such as the DS1522 and DS923. So I have a feeling that if they update this model, it will at least have the option to add a 10GBe port. That alone would instantly make this an interesting option, IMO.

The size difference is deceptive. Really what's impressive is the feature set being included in the given form factor. The functionality possible with 6 drives and an Intel Celeron CPU is noteworthy when offered in a package which is smaller in every way than, for example, a typical 2-drive Synology NAS.

For reference, the dimensions of the 2-bay 218+ are 165 x 108 x 232.2 mm whereas the dimensions of the DS620slim are 121 x 151 x 175 mm. In standard units that puts the DS620slim at only a couple inches shorter and shallower for also being a couple inches wider. This might not seem like much unless you also consider the dimensions of even the most basic 4-bay NAS like the DS423 at 184 mm x 168 mm x 230 mm (whose lesser CPU loses some of the feature set possible with the 620slim).

Unfortunately the implementation of the DS620slim (and in particular it's dependence upon 2.5" drives) makes the design of the DS620slim of particular interest to a narrow group of potential users.

Those seeking a basic Synology NAS may well be better off with a 2-bay unit. Those with particularly large storage needs may do better even with the most basic multi-bay Synology model.

Good luck!

The only real place you need to transcode things if you're trying to stream outside your home network.

Aptv plays 4k no issues
TV plays 4k no issues
Xbox plays 4k no issues
IPad plays 4k no issues
IPhone plays 4k no

I've been researching these for a while now and the conclusions always seem to be the same. For Plex 4k transcoding to view outside the house you want an intel processor, either a ds224+, ds423+ or ds920+ (if you can find the ds920+ at a reasonable price).

I had never seen this model in my research before, though it has an intel processor it's only a dual core as opposed to a quad core on the models above. I don't know how to compare them for 4k transcoding, but keep that in mind.

Maybe someone with experience on this can chime in on how capable it is for the task.

Was ready to jump on this until a realized it was for 2.5" drives. Bummer.

I need a NAS. Have been debating whether to buy one of these nice ready to go systems or use an old PC to build one. Anyone with ideas feel free to weigh in.

Don't forget that the DS423+, in addition to have a 4 core Intel CPU, and in addition to have 4 3.5" drive bays for (currently; always improving) 24TB disks, it also has 2 NVME slots for ultrafast NVME storage (for VM access via NFS share, say, or for running your containers/docker stuff).

This uses a 2016 CPU; the DS423+ is a 2019 CPU.

The last two digits of the model number refers to the release year. In 2020, it wasn't very common. Even today, 2.5 on the networking hardware side is pretty rare for consumer gear.

Looking to purchase a Synology NAS as a secret Santa gift and don't really have any idea what I'm doing. Is this "the best" for this price point? Thanks!

I have one of these. Using 1.92TB Sandisk Cloudspeed enterprise SSDs that were $100 apiece and a USB 2.5gbps NIC. Transcodes all the HD video I've downloaded streaming thru a web browser with <20% CPU usage at 1080p. It's so tiny and cute and quiet lol. Good performance with iSCSI for homelab use too.
