About this deal

I used to work in Enterprise Storage, EMC, Hitachi, NetApp, as well as many others who appeared and disappeared. I am thinking of getting a nas for editing and video work and would love to be able to hook up 10g to both my mac and pc. I went from 4x3TB red to 3x8TB iron wolf, and the noise is more than double, and far more annoying in character.

If you look at data loads of 300tb per year with an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours, the raid with 8 drives will last 8x longer. The rear fans, although among the largest in the Synology diskstation portfolio, are still relatively low noise (for the scale! This PSU has its own mini fan (that I am slightly surprised is not directly funnelled into a vent – but then I am by no means an expert here) and as it’s an internal PSU, means that any kind of replacement (as PSUs are the 2nd most fragile part of any NAS after the storage media itself) is going be mean getting your screwdriver out!I have heard many never make backups, so imagine the panicked person thinking his hard drive is failing, then waiting two days to see if the new drive got it all?

Whether you are considering the DS1823xs+ NAS as your first serious business NAS, a prosumer home user looking to think long-term or an existing Drobo user that has seen the writing on the wall ( see here) and looking to make a confident first step into the Synology ecosystem – hopefully this review will help you decide whether the Synology DS1823xs+ NAS deserves to be your next big tech purchase. I’m a “Die Hard” Western Digital Gold fan, so i assume the 3622xs+ is going to be a no go for me, let’s hope the 2422+ is not going to force me to stay “Home Alone” by locking out my WD GOLDs or Ultrastars.With a huge degree of expandability and upgradability open to the end user to scale with later in the system’s life, extensive long-term committed software support and that 5yrs hardware warranty out the box – this is a system that is clearly designed for the long-haul and as soon as you factor in the complete hardware+software nature of this purchase with DSM included, it’s a very tasty box!

Provide employees with access to corporate files through mobile apps, desktop clients, and a browser-based interface.The first thing I noticed was that the overall noise is far less than it was with three drives and almost certainly lower than it was with two drives. Note – 10GbE Performance Tests, VM Tests, Surveillance tests and More are currently being conducted over on the NASCompares YouTube Channel and should be live in the next week or so. Interestingly, the Synology DS1823xs+ also arrives with a further 100MB/s copper network port, however, this one is a relatively new inclusion to the Synology NAS hardware portfolio and is a much more useful alternative to the coms port usually found on RS/XS/SA series. If you do stuff like that for all your multimedia they’re native apps don’t work you have to have it where they want it…. Different to SSD a HDD usually does not fail in discrete mode [ok/instantly faulty] but slowly degrades which agives you a window of opportunity.
