I personally have the DS 1520+. You sir have made the comparison between 1520+ and 1522+ in a previous video. This video was one of the best I have ever seen. You are a true professional. Thanks for this amazing content. Keep up the good work.
Just want to say thanks because of your knowledge, I was able to install and now have a total of 20gb ram with the specified ram on my ds920+. It is truly a nice device. I also run 1gb ssd with it, 4x 8tb ironwolf pro red drives and the external device attached runs 5x 16tb ironwolf pro red drives. Very good performance. device serves about 30 people no problems.
I am sorry I just bought a 920 and I am unaware. So which memory config do you have to reach 20?provably one dimm of 16gb. Could you specify which one? Thank you
When I started my multimedia library, our computer was old and slow by today’s standards. So to avoid the “cpu fans of transcoding”, I transcoded the media to be compatible with our devices prior to adding to the library.
Still using my ds918+ with 16gb. CPU a bit slow and only use older VMs on it, but it works, the memory is plenty for everything I need the nas to do with plex and others services I run on it and I also have the expansion bay runn with a total of 9 drives.
I don't think we will get a DS-922+ this year, next year maybe, but the only real thing jumping out at me for that new system will be the jump to 2.5Gb/s x2 ports. The processor jump on the Atom/Celeron CPU line is not there this "chip shortage" year.
While my existing 920+ is still in service, I got tired of waiting for synology to include 10gbe standard in the pro series nas’s and build my own for less then a new 920+ My suggestion is if you have the knowledge or desire make your own Nas.. Perhaps Synology will catch up in a few years.
You can always add more ram for cheap on the 920+. There’s a whole Reddit page where people are using a 920+ with 20gb of RAM and working for years with no issues
@@joshuareveles My mistake for not being clear. I meant 10gbe or 10 gigabit Ethernet. The 920+ is a great box except for its lack of network speed. I have and still use the 2.5 gbe USB adapter but once you experience 10gbe you really never want to go back.
@@PieVsCake I think it really depends tbh. If you don’t have the proper infrastructure to use 10gb Ethernet then it’s practically useless (the majority of people buying in this price range do not have the proper infrastructure for it).
@@joshuareveles Understandable. Getting 10gbe working when you have multiple end devices that you want to leverage can add quite a bit to the cost. For me I was able to secure some 10gbe hardware from eBay that made it possible to connect all required clients for under the cost a new nas. It all comes down to do it yourself vs turnkey. Most users want that turnkey solution that requires little to no guesswork when putting it together. I just wish Synology would offer us the ability to go that route without sacrificing high end options. The fact that the 920+ doesn’t even offer supported by Synology 2.5gbe is horrid in 2022 so what ever replaces that nas here in the future needs to step up.
@@PieVsCake I do agree with you on that most people buying a Synology want a straightforward solution with little work. I wish it had at least 2.5gb connections but for my use case, the 920+ will be perfect and if I need something better later down the road then it will be easy to set up and hit the ground running
I'm still running a DS416Play 4 bay and still going strong. I use it as a video/music/photo server with 36TB (4x12TB RAID5). The DS920+ is tempting since the price is reasonable. Can you remove the drives from the old unit and put them in the new one without having to start over from scratch?
Hi, what do you use to steam uncompressed 4K? The media boxes (Apple TV, mi box) just can’t handle things once in the really big 4K, for now only my laptop can play them properly
Curious 🤔 if I took 2 HDD’s (SHR - striped) from my ageing DS215j and transplanted them into a multi-bay Synology would they need reformatted or could the SHR continue to be expanded / rebuilt without data loss ?… 🤔
There's a compatibility list online in the synology site. Done this in the past from a DS213+ to a DS1515+ without data loss! There should be software available in the packet center called "migration assistant" that will do the trick. Follow the steps and you should be good.
Hello there. can you please give your views regarding my prospective project? I have one house in Spain and one in Thailand. How do I get best protection? I was thinking to buy a Synology 6-bay NAS with 6 Seagate 20TB drives and a DX517 with 5 Seagate 20TB as a backup in Spain. Two surveillance cameras installed. In Thailand a Synology 4-bay NAS with 4 Seagate 20TB drives. Two surveillance cameras installed. I would like to get prompt wherever I am in, that being in Spain or Thailand, or elsewhere whenever I get a prompt from my NAS’s? Any other suggestion for the project.
They have adapted the apple thought process. Claim it is so great now, BUT. only if you buy this proprietary upgrade… nickel and dime at every turn. I can build a server in an old pc case that is much faster, more storage options and faster… TIME TO THINK ABOUT walking away like I left apple.
Price comparison is always interesting. It's amazing how many people will balk at an extra $150 - 200 for a piece of what might be a piece of critical digital infrastructure for them; something with a 4-5 year life span and quite possibly more. And then go for the cheaper option. But, those same people will spend that same money at Starbucks in a single month. Maybe Synology should add whip cream and sprinkles...
@gandalf1124 - thats what I am saying. Do we think there's still a chance of a DS922+ this year? I got new drives a couple months ago, just sitting on a self waiting.
Cannot find any direct comparison reviews of the DS1522+ vs DS1621+ . Anyone have any thoughts? The DS1621+ seems better because it can take a much cheaper 10GB PCI card and has a longer list of compatible drives, right? Not sure what else merits any advantages for the newer DS1522+. Anyone?
Not a problem for me. I enjoy NasCompares videos. Very informative and I appreciate the amount of time and work that is required to put these videos together.

@@Madfeast crucial 16gb "CT16G4SFD8266". It is not officially supported but it workes and still operational after 2 years on my ds920+

Great presentation and even better attitude towards the end regarding your patrons. Well done!

For me the 10Gb/s option settels it. The question is will the DS922+ have that if it ever arrives.
My guess would be no.

I still run my DS-918+ on 32GB of RAM. The soldered on 4GB on the DS-920+ was a "no bueno" for me.
Didn't aware that 918+ can support 32GB. I'm running with 16GB. My SDD and power adapter die. Stills rock solid to serve.
How you think the DS1522+ compares to the DS1621+?
I will stick with my DS1019+ Thx.
Maybe release with 10GbE standard with better CPU and I will look at the next 1.
Good vid.
Great knowledgeable and detailed information, so a big thank you to you!!!
Why not better compare the 1522+ to the 1520+? They have the same number of possible drives and they both ship with 8GB of RAM.
