Rest assured that the compatibility and stability have been strictly verified with the same benchmark to ensure identical performance. DS1821+ comes equipped with 8 bays and can scale up to 18 bays with 2 DX517 expansion units as your data needs grow. This solution was less than half the cost of the DS1819+ and its associated accessories (additional RAM, backup drives, etc).

Configure efficient point-in-time snapshots of shared folders and LUNs at intervals as short as 5 minutes. At the time of initial installation, my video collection was 71% DVDs, 29% Blu-rays, and 0% 4K Blu-rays.Staying at the forefront of data management, Synology innovates and adapts to ever-evolving technologies, and continues bringing new possibilities to the table, including but not limited to solutions for data storage and backup, file collaboration, video management, and network infrastructure – all designed with one goal in mind – presenting a centralized platform to simplify IT administration while driving digital transformation for businesses worldwide. Over the past two years, many of my favorite DVD titles have been re-released in Blu-ray format with high quality remastering and some of my favorite Blu-ray titles have been re-released in 4K format. Run Docker containers and VMs on DS1823xs+ using Docker and Synology Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) 7 — a hypervisor for virtualized versions of Windows®, Linux®, and DSM — to safely test and evaluate applications. Synology will not provide complete product warranty or technical support if non-Synology memory modules are used for memory expansion.

Boost syncing speeds, cut bandwidth use, and reduce your storage footprint by leveraging the powerful connectivity of our data centers. I’m pretty sure I can create a movies and tv folder on volume2 and Plex will be fine with accessing it, but my main concern is Sonarr and Radarr.Thermal parameters for SSDs and NAS units are fine-tuned to ensure optimal management of thermal conditions under I/O-intensive environments. They are currently pointing to volume1 and I don’t see how they would work with a new storage pool where they can download and add new stuff to volume2 but at the same time see what’s on volume1. I’ve heard/read that trying to span volume1 across the DS918+ and DX517 is a recipe for disaster, so if I get a DX517 expansion unit would I be able to put new media on volume2 and have Plex/Sonarr/Radarr play nice with the new storage pool?

Host cost-efficient business solutions, either through containers, virtual machines, or Synology DiskStation (DSM)’s own solutions, including a powerful free backup suite, a versatile mail server, and a surveillance VMS with transparent licensing. Performance figures are based on the average percentage improvement of DS920+ relative to its predecessor, as tested at Synology labs. If usage requirements exceed the specifications above, please contact our regional partners for professional advice. Managed from DiskStation Manager on the host NAS, the additional bays in the DX517 are immediately ready to be used once connected. Filling the remaining three bays with 8 TB drives would provide 69 TB total storage with a currant occupancy rate of 36%.I have not noticed any speed or performance differences when loading files into the expansion unit or when streaming video from the expansion unit. It came with an 18 AWG IEC power cord, which I quickly switched for a Signal Cable 12 AWG Digital Reference power cord. However, the DX517's IEC inlet is recessed over an inch into its back panel and the MagicPower cord's plug was too big to fit. The performance of the mail system will slightly decrease in high-availability mode due to data synchronization between the two servers.

Today’s growing amount of unstructured data requires smarter and increasingly higher performance methods of storing, accessing, and collaborating. Extend the standard 3-year hardware warranty of your DS1821+ with 2 more years of Synology-certified support and premium services that help you recover faster in the event of disaster. DS1621+ comes equipped with 6 bays and can scale up to 16 bays with 2 DX517 expansion units as your data needs grow.

The DS1823xs+ is a powerful central storage server that can easily be deployed anywhere to provide shared data storage and sharing, endpoint and server backup, VM storage, surveillance management, and other business applications.
