Synology

This is a place for all topics regarding Synology hard- and software - especially (but not limited to) their NAS devices.

Just one thing: Let’s please be pleasant to each other and respect that people have different experience levels. Some are pros, some are noobs, yet everybody may have good ideas or interesting questions to ask and comments to make, and all of these shall be heard and appreciated. ❤️


And since we know from TV that all IT nerds 🤓 are h4xx0rs and wear hoodies all the time (if not even ski masks) in front of their computers, I chose an appropriate banner image (image credit).

I think it's getting time to start research to replace my aging Synology, what's good in the marketplace right now?

I've a DS 1513+ which has served us well but given the age of the disks I'm thinking build a replacement and mirror it, then archive the old HDDs as a backup.

We also have a Terramaster unit that's pure junk, but that's used for non-critical archival data. Only Unraid saves it from the recycler.

DS1522+ or is the 16- or 18-series worth the extra? Or is there something better for the money? The old 15-series has been rock solid, are the modern units as good?
