I have had nothing but issues with prior purchase(s) from Newegg. I have stopped using them years ago.

+1. Newegg used to be my go-to for electronic everything, but it's funny how numerous problems with their shipping and customer service changed everything on that. Also, don't ever buy gift cards from them.

Software included for free. Synology is AMAZING for all the software packages you can install on this. I got one in July for full price. Highly recommend.

Quote from OverthinkerHere :
I recently bought this NAS with two 4TB Seagate IronWolf drives from B&H and an extra 16GB RAM from Amazon. Most impressed with how nice the device works with photos (search by people, by place, by time etc.). Streaming works great (was able to put all my karaoke collection on the NAS and shared with the family and it all runs very smooth). Plugged in another 4TB USB drive to the NAS as the back up to the NAS and automated everything. Each night all new photos from each of our phones automatically get uploaded to the NAS and get indexed and backed up the USB drive on the NAS. In addition, any new files on our desktops also get automatically uploaded to the NAS and the plugged in USB.
Hi,
I'm looking for a NAS esp for my iphone photos. I usually have icloud subscription and tired of paying alot every month. What kind of software do you use for syncing the phone pictures every night?

not sure about refurb hard disk drives...
If you want new, buy new. I've had new and used drives crap out on me before. I just make sure to backup my backups.

Interested but how long do this go before becoming EOL? And are they still secure or usable after EOL?

Can't tell from this announcement how long the usable life is?

Quote from JamesJ5048 :
I picked up my Syn DS220+ and 2x 12TB Seagate's for $82/each last year. Looks like the deal popped up a few weeks ago again: https://slickdeals.net/f/17306923-cert-refurb-12tb-seagate-enterprise-capacity-7200rpm-cmr-sata-6gb-...

I love the price per gig but also these drives a little noisy/clicky but no problem with anything else.
I bought four of these drives and installed them in the 4-bay Synology NAS I bought on sale from B&H. Everything works flawlessly - I'd do it all again in a heartbeat.

2 Questions for you experts out there:

1. How much improvement in speed will I see coming from DS212J? It's horribly slow and anything I do in web GUI takes literally minutes.

2. Will I be able to just pull the drives out of my DS212J (currently in JBODS config) and stick it in this DS224+ will the data be retained?

For what it's worth, I've never had a bad customer service experience with newegg and recently had a notably good one.
Just one data point.

Quote from AquaGalley8616 :
Before you buy a NAS look at a number of youtube videos comparing them in 2024. Most recent models. Lots of stuff to decide on: 2 bay vs 4bay vs 8 bay, ram, options on network speed (1gb, 2.5gb, 10gb), NVMe vs no-nvme options, plex friendly vs non-plex friendly, lots of other things to consider, the Youtube videos will help you make a good decision.

If you are a more pro-user , just see what things have changed since you bought your older NAS.

I myself moved from NAS to DAS the last few years , which just means I bought a 4-bay unit that shows up as 4 drives under windows 11. Which are not tied to other formats , just regular windows format and you can put drives anywhere without having any problems.

Again, just weigh your OPTIONS with current info 2024 ... and tech options change over a few years. Happy researching.
This is really good advice. One tip I'd add for folks like me with limited IT knowledge is to do your research when you're pretty sure you're ready to buy and then set a tight deadline for completing the purchase. This way you'll avoid my fate, which is having to start the research process from scratch over and over again bc I've forgotten what all the acronyms mean, getting overwhelmed; and then just throwing up my hands and consigning future me to the frustrations associated with my current configuration 🙄😂

I am not quite familiar with NAS etc but I have tons of photos that I need to take back up and tired of posting to iCloud. Will this be a good starter for my case? Experts out here could you please suggest, TIA

Why does it say "diskless" when clearly its designed to use a hard disk?

It's just to tell people it doesn't come with hard drive disks, because some do include them out of the box.

Diskless means hard disks are not included when shipped. You need to put your own disks in.

I've been having a DS224+ for about 6 months now and i absolutely love it. I have two Synology 8TB drives in it. I threw in a 8gb stick of ram and now has 10gb total which is kind of overkill since i pretty much only use it for transcoding at the moment. I plan on doing using docker and other apps soon.
