That "beep" got me! I started running over to my server to see if I lost a drive (since it makes a similar sound). you gotta love when technology has a mind of it's own when making videos :) nice updates and reviews on new storage options! thanks for the vids.
Big fan of Synology. I have 2, a DS1517+ with a 2nd hand Intel X520-DA2 , RAM maxed out, full of 480GB datacenter SSDs, expansion unit with spinning rust and a few VMs (PiHole and PiVPN). DS918+ also maxed out with RAM and 2 VMS (PiHole and PiVPN). Just started using Surveillance Station as a unsatisfied with Unifi Video.
I have the DS1618 that I put a SPF+ PCIe card in.. Love it. Running 10G fiber to two machines. I've achieved 1.08GB/s (writing to a ramdisk on the synology)
Hi guys, excellent video, unfortunately I just got my SD 1520+, it is awesome with excellent streaming capabilities, unfortunately my nas got crazy to the point that I have to let the Synology technicians try to fix it remotely, unfortunately they couldn't and we have to reset the network, after that I did ask the technician why when I tried to register my nas and paid for the 2 extra years of warranty the site says I cannot because this ds 1520+ has been discontinued, but is not the case with older models, and the technician told me that this model have a few problems with the hardware and around or after 2 years some of them get broken and for that Synology not only discontinued this ds 1520+ but they also don't want to deal with exchanging this unit, and as this technician told me is being a lot of replacements world wide, unfortunately he recommended me that if I can change it just go and do it, the chances of losing my investment in a short time are big, he recommended me to go to the ds 920+ but as I have 5 drivers I can't, so he say the other solution is or remove 1 drive and get the 920+ or upgrade to the 162xs+, well.... it is a huge chunk of money just swapping, but I think I will, I am not a IT guy or video editor, or with a company with a lots of TBs in info, but I have and planning to have tones of 2k and 4k family videos, photo albums, I have very good knowledge in tech. I know this Ds1621xs+ is probably more than what I need but I love to stream my videos from my phone, without wires, we are a family of 5 and basically all of us save our memories using the photo app, video app, this apps can order everything in chronology order, by day and year, that's why I need something reliable, to preserve my family's memories. Also I just tell you guys all this because I don't want you to lose your information with this 1520+, it is bad, I was really impressed how this guy streams my 4 k video no latency and smooth, now it is up to you guys, if you guys want to confirm this just call this number in the Americas (Synology): 1(425)2963177 , unfortunately this issue is not stated in any Synology information letter, unless I didn't see it, it is bad because most vendors still selling this guy at the regular price and that's not good, I will return this tomorrow at B&H at NYC and will inform them about this information at least I will have some peace in mind, guys be safe, GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!! and spread the VOICE, it is the only way to protect our selfs as a consumers.
Hey Tom, one thing for that ds1621 you were looking at a 3rd party seller on newegg (dealking), bottom right it had the newegg direct price at $1599. But they'd are out of stock till October 1st which is probably why they showed you the 3rd party offer
Hey, i looked on your website. Have you geo Blocked the UK ? your site isnt loading, under construction.... I have a job configuring a router, and would like a quote
i have had a bad experience, ok let me rephrase that. - not brilliant experience with the 10g on the atom based synology device to the point the 1g bonded x 3 was often more stable and gave better overall performance. thats my experience with a DS818+ and a sunilogy card. It sort of didnt have the BHP for the card. Hope this offering improves things
hescominsoon I think if you’re connecting more than a couple computers and doing more than word files or PDFs you’ll notice a benefit from 10gbe from the Synology box to the router.
@@N556ND my largest install is 65 computers at a paint shop and that doesn't include the Wi-Fi devices and they're all hitting two servers each of them with gigabit out. and the paint is running off of a huge database. It all depends on what you're doing. Right now the average usage on each server's link is 35 to 40%. 10 gig would do absolutely nothing there. It all depends on your use case and your metrics. 10 GB is not always necessary especially at the expense
Until you see the Synology price for the luxury of having a £50-75 10gbe port it's silly but you are getting a xeon cpu (if not tad dated but reliable and faster then atom cpus) and ECC ram no SHR on business Synology units but you should be using same size disks only But £1000 more for ECC and 10gbe very silly price
Funnily enough nobody seems to wonder about the absence of SHR. I don't know about you guys, but who other than enterprise customers fully populates their NAS right from the start with the highest available drives and throws them all in the bin a few years later? For me, this is a complete non-starter. :(

+1 for synology, and DSM. I have rs18017xs+, with a 6 core low power xeon-d processor, and comes with 10gbe.

yes. it bugs me when people dont realize 3rd party sellers set their own prices. same as amazon. lazy brain = get ripped off.
Bout fck time Synology..
10Gbe..
Been waiting for a replacement worth upgrading
ouch $1800.. N/m
And it only added nearly $1,000 to the cost over a non 10Gbe Synology.
@@ualdayan exactly. At that price I'll gladly buy truenas hardware or make a diy server that will have at least decent performance
For a single user a gigabit network does the trick, also I don't have a 10gb network anyways. But thst jump between 5 and 6 drives is insane!
Just pop some antique Seagate IronWolf's, 16 TB in it .
Hey, i looked on your website. Have you geo Blocked the UK ? your site isnt loading, under construction.... I have a job configuring a router, and would like a quote
It was under construction dealing with some of the major wordpress updates, it's updated www.lawrencesystems.com/hire-us/
Hope they send you the DVA (IP camera) model for review
The 4 drive NAS should at least ship with 2.5Gbps NICs. 1Gbps in 2020 is entry level stuff.
10:14. I had my headphone on and I thought my synology got rebooted😂
Can you compare Synology ds1621xs+ vs ds1621+? What is your thought on AMD Ryzen on NAS?
a NAS without 10g (or at least 5g/2.5g) in 2020 is a non starter... 🤷♂️

Chris Fisher The box with 10g is Xeon powered. That’s one of the reasons it’s twice the price.
at least for my clientele 10Gb is rarely needed...i'm glad to see we still have the option for GbE..:)

Wait, is that an El Gato Stream Deck? Does that work on Linux?
You can run companion software that links up to stream deck hardware that could run on linux and even RasberryPis
10 gb, awesome!
Until you see the Synology price for the luxury of having a £50-75 10gbe port it's silly
but you are getting a xeon cpu (if not tad dated but reliable and faster then atom cpus) and ECC ram
no SHR on business Synology units but you should be using same size disks only
But £1000 more for ECC and 10gbe very silly price
For that price I'd rather buy a Truenas box.
Great video
Synology are great to run PiHole in a container.

It's a business nas (xeon cpu and ecc ram, 10gbe)
Synology normally does not enable SHR on business Synology units (normally you be using the same size drives), You can still expand the array later on replace say 5 8tb hdds replace one at a time to say 5 16tb once last disk is rebuilt you can then expand the array
Raid6 all the way
don't use raid5 on drives bigger then 2tb, but really should not use raid5 at all as it can't handle dual faults if it gets a second error when rebuilding a disk can result in failed Degraded array (array has to be deleted and recreated to fix) or crashed array (second disk fails, all data lost)
But price that Synology maybe asking might be tad high
Good job buddy
Cool
On Amazon UK.
Synology NAS DS1621xs+
£2,750.79. Haha who ever is selling it at that price
Prefer the internal psu vs this pronged psu. Change my mind
I agree, its a lot cleaner if the psu is internal
@@plexguy I've ever been a fan of those barrel prong connectors either
External psu is far easier to replace then the internal psu (but I believe Synology fixed the problem they used to have with internal psus failing)
@@leexgx valid point. Advanced rma fixed my issue let them deal with it
I have the wifi meash system good units
external psu: no go.
intel deon
Its $1800 if you buy it from that 3rd party seller. its $1599 from Newegg, learn how websites work dude
Dude! Thanks Dude!
Lol
First
Nice
