I think that article is about the J and Play models. Both of those have Realtek arm processors. This is the Plus which has a Celeron. It should support hardware transcoding in Plex.

agreed. the DX517 doesn't support fully the DS218+ (ie. can create new/indepent volumes only). it's better to spend a bit more on the DS918+ (~ $550) or DS1019+ (~ $650) for 4 or 5 bays. if you...

If you rip a 4k movie then try to play it on your cell phone, your phone can't play 4k. So your server would need to transcode the video down to a lower quality.

No. I think this simplified a lot of things and you don’t have to keep a laptop running and figuring out what apps you have to use for backups. Synology apps are pretty good.
