A new 182x+ is over due. Hopefully a new 1824+ or 1825+ will be announced soon.
I have to commend synology. I bought mine in 2018, and it's still going strong, no issues. Probably the longest running electronic I have at this point (has survived several computer upgrades, a few TV's, microwaves, two mesh router systems, three robot vacuums, and lots of other misc). Maybe electronics are just made poorly these days, but my Synollgy NAS keeps chugging along.
I just wish it had the Intel processors to transcode on Plex better.

I love my Roku and don't want to have to run a separate second computer just for Plex.

This is a good NAS at this price, although I'd have to say the embedded Ryzen processor is a little lame. My old 1812+ is still running after more than 10 years, with absolutely no maintenance done to it, and maybe 1 reboot a year. DSM is also a great OS for a NAS.

I use this exact unit for Plex and I have had zero issues in 2+ years of ownership. The XS series may be "better" and the Intel cpu may be "better" but this unit is utterly amazing. Transconding has not been a problem at all.

Just hit my 1521+ last month.
FWIW, Synology was zero help.

Keep an eye on the used section too, last time 1821+ was in deal zone for same price, used were going for $749. Used section gets updated frequently. Picked one up, no issues, been very happy with mine.

I bought the same model in the same store more than 3 years ago. It runs perfectly without any issue, never failed once. Before this I have a DS415+, which now is a real time backup of this DS1821+ in my parents home. All I have to do is to clean the dust once a year. I'm satisfied with this setup.

Agree with all the this. I guess I'm a little concerned that there's no further dsm updates for the 1812+ though, and this makes me want to wait for the 1825+, or whatever it's called, just for longer service life.

Same here. DS1813+ purchased March 2014 still going strong a decade later. Synology Hybrid RAID allowed me to swap out original 3TB drives seamlessly with 8TB ones a few years back.
