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.

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.
What most people don't realize is that you need to use Synology branded HDDs and Memory for the XS series, which significantly impact the cost value equation.

Worth upgrading from a 923+ that's underutilized or just wait for when the newer version is released? Reason for asking is that these still can use cheaper pcie network card upgrades versus having to buy synology variants

So this model doesn't require Synology branded NAS drives?

Quote from t99 :
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.
Just be aware unless things changed, warranties don't transfer so used will have zero warranty support.

Awesome NAS! I upgraded the memory to 32gb and put in the 10GB NIC and it's been perfect for everything I've thrown at it.

I LOOOOVE my synology. We stream media off of it to any TV/device in the house and backup our iphone photos to it simultaneously. It has made our lives so much better!

Same, mine has been running for at least 8-10 years until I recently upgraded to a 4 bay. Gave my old one to my brother and he's still using it.

Recently picked up a 1522+ on sale last month, it's five bays and can be extended for more bays and has more RAM, 8GB. This is a decent deal but the lineup is very granular and B&H has been running different model sales, so get the device that fits your needs best and save money.

Do you happen know if those Synology branded drive requirements are true requirements or is it just a scary warning that we can ignore/bypass?

BTW, if you get a NAS, make sure it is physically secured to wall/floor. If someone (ahem, wife) accidentally yanks it off a shelf by the power cord you can lose all the drives at once.
