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.

These folks use a lot of circular and backwards logic to justify what they're doing, but it all comes down to a simple fact -- it's not legal.
Absolutely nothing illegal about using plex.

No,This is on much older machines. The model he mentioned doesn't even exist. 2015 I think.
Leave sour puss alone I guess.

I've got QNAP since 2017 still working awesome. I did get Synology last year because I wanted the software functionality of Synology. But in terms of reliability even QNAP has been good for me.

Completely false. I have Plex lifetime; with this and a digital tuner/antenna, I have a completely legal, zero percent piracy related DVR that I have full control over. Just because something has a use, doesn't mean everyone using it is using it for that use.

I use it for my photography. Works fine with my photos and 4k videos. I'm not sure why it is assumed everyone uses Plex for illegal things. It is fabulous to show my clients some of the work in progress right from my phone. No laptop, no thumb drives, no blah blah. Just a phone, an app, and an internet connection. If I tried to store all that on my phone, well…… I couldn't as they don't make that kind of phone space plus moving the files over the wire to my phone? Just no. You should research ways to use it. Plenty of options. I also share some of my photo collections with family this way. Get out of your bubble, bud.

I have never done NAS and know nothing about it. But I want one and can learn. Anyone recommend a good video that would show how to set this up?

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?
I have the same question also. I found a post on Reddit that says you can get around that restriction https://www.reddit.com/r/synology...rd_drives/

Can you share the NIC & memory model # you bought to upgrade your? TIA
I bought the Synology one, ordered it from B&H as far as I recall, same with the memory. There are Reddit posts out there in the Synology subreddit that list both specific memory modules with and what NICs work.

Have you thrown 4K REMUX 10bit files at it? Can you give a little more detail on your use case please? And what hardware did you get specifically? Thanks in advance!
Not sure what details you'd want exactly... All wired via Cat6 Ethernet runs, Ubiquiti gear, end devices are either Shield TV Pro units or Apple TV 4K units.

I can provide more detail tomorrow but I just came across this.

Got a new Synology and filled it up with WD Red Pro drives.

Synology had a big old warning saying that all drives should be replaced.

I looked and there are two ways around it:

1) modify the code in Linux to add the drives you have in it to their supported list
2) modify the code in Linux to tell the OS to ignore any invalid hard drive alerts.

I did the second as it was much easier. I believe it has to be redone everytime the OS is updated. I also don't know if Synology would actually provide support in that scenario either.



Edit... Here's the exact details...

Enable SSH
SSH to it
sudo -i
cd /etc.defaults/
vim synoinfo.conf
i
Find support_disk_compatibility="yes" and change to "no"
Hit escape
:wq



The alternative is described here on how to add the drives to the supported list: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1...ck-bypass/

Pricey, but I guess the ease of use makes a difference. Also the CPU is kinda weak. I am somewhat looking to replace my 8 year old system. But my E3 1230v3 is a bit more powerful than v1500b. and thats >8 years old cpu. Power usage isn't bad 70w with 8 7200k drives running, cpu is mostly idle. I have a feeling I'll be running this system for a bit, but HDDs are about to start dying after more than 60k hours.
