I'd been having some problems with my DS416play being non-responsive and made the poor decision to see if an upgrade to DSM 7 would help. The NAS became unusable. Synology support responded to my request for assistance, but it became very clear that 1GB of RAM wasn't enough to support...
Synology has fitted the DiskStation DS418j with 1GB of RAM (up from512MB on the DS416j), and there’s a 1.4GHz dual-core 64-bit Realtek TRD1293 processor, too. The combination is potent, and the web interface runs really smoothly. ...
Plex is very good, but from my (VERY limited) experience my DS416Play just isn't powerful enough to stream via PLEX. (1GB RAM/INTEL CELERON). It all comes down to what your stream and to what devices and what type of client/capabilities that device has. By using PLEX.tv do you...
While not as significant as the move from DSM 6 toDSM 7, this incremental upgrade brings a few major important and much-anticipated improvements in my book. Additionally, there are a host of other minor yet relevant positive changes. TheDS1821+andDS1621+are among many Synology servers to get...

the DS423+ is an excellent NAS solution that counters a broad range of criticisms that were leveled at the DS923+ at launch. However, there is, of course, the unavoidable way that most long-term Synology users and those looking to upgrade an existing 2016/2018 Diskstation are going to loo...
Since late 2020, it seems Synology has slowly phased out the Play and SE series. With that, here’s an example of how to interpret a server’s name: theDS1522+is a 2022 desktop server that can house up to 15 drives and belongs to the Plus series. The server houses five drives and...

About to switch it from RAID 1 to RAID 0 because I need more disk space (have two 3 TB WD Reds) and don't want to invest in new drives until I upgrade the NAS. Do have a 8TB Desktop drive that I will back the NAS up to periodically. lmitche said: I really liked my Qnap...
