You are back already .... Should have waited 2 mins 😊

I'm sure Synology is aware of people waiting for updates of the 15xx, 16xx and 18xx models. Why not give them any insight about their plans or even a heads up on when new models can be exepected without further details. I can only think of one reason, but I really hope I'm wrong.

3:49: Either its a typo (which should have been fixed) or we now have "RIAD"?

Can’t wait for a review of that 5gb NIC; current 5gb products are poor performers.

Who cares about enterprise level stuff .... they are ignoring their core products and user base at a time when competition is getting fiercer. The only they have going for themselves is DSM .... All this for nothing because they won't be able to effectively compete in the enterprise space because that business is all about relationships with customers and on a enterprise level ...well they don't have any.

Well we are in 2024. For 6 years all NAS oem have serves the same rubbish soup..... I'd say "finally"

How did you get hardware transcoding to work with Plex via docker? I'm running the DXP-4800 Plus and I cannot for the life of me get HW transcoding to work. I have the Plex lifetime subscription and the toggles enabled in Plex. I must be missing something with the docker container config.

Can they connect to Home Assistant or Frigate? Is the protocol open? That more important information for me, do I need a Synology NAS to use them? If it does, then I'm staying with Frigate and TrueNAS ;-)

Synology to SOHO users: "you didn't like our underpowered overpriced hw, our vendor-lock aspirations, our substandard client software? Well f u, we don't need you, have a nice day!"

So... They're targeting businesses who don't want to pay for IT expertise, with expensive rack mount hardware. Ok then...

expesnive stuff not for us :=(

My doubt is, if i copy/move files between PC's under same network (isp -> modem+router combo that has 4 Ethernet port -> 2 PC, 1 TV connected to it) does the internet usage increase? I have 3000GB limit & I wonder if I copy or fetch files from each other (if disk sharing is created) will the internet meters run...

I have a ROG XG Mobile dock with a D5 attached for when I put my flow 13 on the desk so I can have my steam library sitting ready. I only have a 3.1 Gen 2 USB port available so not having anything faster wasn't an issue for me.

Yes, need a desktop model.**

Any legal guarantees?

Thank you for the noise test.

Darn, after the mostly enterprise line up of Synology this feels pretty exciting!

Any updates for new Hypervisor support directly in DMS now the we are all jumping ship from VMWare?

This stuff works for me to replace expensive backup solutions. DIY folk seem to miss out on getting used higher end equipment cheap

Good thing you started working with so many other brands. The 4 comments so far pretty much sums it up how many people care about enterprise stuff on CZcams. At least another 10-15 years before enterprise decision makers are coming to CZcams for research. Mostly boomers in those positions right now and they aren't watching CZcams to buy equipment for their large business.

Might be an interest for some business users, but in my experiences, such customer might want more flexibility and customisation then this solution can perhaps offer. And, again in my experiences, such customer do know their stuff, they don't need Synology to take away or circumvent those expertises. I do expect a few challenges; What when one of those platforms changes, major changes are made, this product likely will need an update/chance? (too) What about malware, where the initial backup is clean and you are backing-up an infected source? Any measures taken to check upon the source not being infected? Protection is not (only) backing-up IMHO. I get the impression they have put on a business-sauce onto an existing solution. And which perhaps might appeal to some customers. Making products (and services) that only serve niche customers is nowadays a risky choice. I think. Let's see if this still exists in 3 ~ 4 years time. I wonder what Synology is thinking about, what their aim is. To simplify things? To me it looks like that Synology is aiming for enterprise (full swing), and hopefully such pants are not too big for them. (and keep the braces handy, just in case) I look forward to more in-depth information. But with my 20+ years and PT's of data, the amount of backups I have lost can be counted on a few fingers of a hand...

Do you have a video on how to set up fs6706t for a novice?

Synology appears to be forsaking the bread and butter users, the masses that made Synology what they are. In stead, they are courting the Enterprise market now, seeking the massive profits that come with that market sector. Synology need to be careful here. The optics of losing interest in the home/prosumer/SMB market will come back to bite them if users feel abandoned and ignored.

I passed on the Synology primarily because of the 1GBe connectivity. And I also skipped the Asustor 8-bay because of the Intel Atom processor. Instead I went for the QNAP TS-873A.

Data Protection! Muahahahahaha hahahahahahaha! We'll see how long until that "data protection" security is broken and / or circumvented. Just another thing to sell to businesses.

*Update* - Since I recorded and edited this video (both times!) a little more information has arisen about ActiveProtect and the DP series (regarding ActiveBackup, Pricing, and Scope). There will be a follow-up video on this one next week and it will be a very special video! In the meantime, you can watch the full summary video on the Synology 2024 event I made yesterday here - czcams.com/video/wC_gtEGRDJY/video.html

Doubt: the LAN LED on my TS-873A's frontal panel is OFF when I use only the LAN port of an expansion card (the LAN LED on the frontal panel turns ON only when I'm using the embedded LAN ports). Is it a normal behavior? Or instead the LAN LED should be ON even when only expansion port is in use? Thanks in advance.

I have owned the GEM12 7840hs variant fore a bit now and must say it is completely silent hence. Having compared it with at least 10 different models of mini PCs including misinform um790 - AOOSTAR performs the best in this area. I use it for my overnight downloads now and purchased the 8845hs variant as well, yet to be tested. The USB4 does support thunderbolt 3/4 and when tested with eGPU compared with all of the other models - bandwidth is pretty much the same. Not tested with external storage. I would definitely recommend GEM12 to anyone. GEM10 - cannot comment. I cannot comment on NAS use but as a daily driver - perfect

to loooooooooong.

Hello, can this be used as a simple external HDD, for storage? And why some websites states 256MB cache and other 512MB cache? Thanks

How many M2 slots?

OR probably the easiest and cheapest option is to replace your current drives with bigger drives one by one to rebuild your raid array(s) as you go then you can zero format the drives and sell them if no longer needed

The design is a little long in the tooth though

Just because the cool kids use 9:16 it doesn't mean you have to Rob! Please turn the phone!

If its affordable - *YES!*

In my business we have a RS1221+ and that's enough to handle the backups and a couple of dockers images we don't want to deploy in our on site kubernetes cluster. I am looking at upgrading it, though, and I'm looking at the RS2821+ as a good place to go. But it's just too old now. And it's the same for the RS4021xs+ which would also be an option. It bugs me that they don't have any upgrades for what used to be their core business but seem completely focused on new areas - this is generally not a good sign for a business, whether it is for them or not remains to be seen. Sure, a new RS2824+ (and all the other models that should be updated) isn't very sexy, but it is overdue - not doing it is a sad statement in itself.

These would be perfect for a small MinIO deployment.

Fantastic and inspiring video. I got one of these m2 nvme to sATA adapter you are using. Is there any specific port requirement for this to work? My Aorus B550i Pro Ax mobo does not dedect it.

Perfect for ZFS. RAID-Z2.

Can you please clean your phone/camera lenses before filming. Every time you take your phone out to record someting, wipe the lens on your trousers/sleeve. 95% of this video looks like it's filmed with an inch of Vaseline on the lens!

I've been watching this channel for months debating on a DIY build or just getting a Synology, but was waiting to see some new models, dunno how much longer I'll wait for them to release a new 4 or 5 bay, was really hoping my first NAS would be running DSM

Who's designing these? Look like A/C units from the 50s...

I have a 4TB in mine, and I’ve only got about 1.25 tv left. I’m truly worrying about what happens when I run out which is inevitable and the prices for a 8tb are sticking over £1000!!

Need more step step instructions on how to do this for noobs.

Seems very weak. They need to shape up.

Asustor is the best

Was using the DXP4800 Plus for a month before the main storage volume came unmounted and now can’t be accessed. Anyone else experiencing this?
