I bought the DS223j and I'm generally happy for the price but what really bugs me is that the thing never seems to hibernate the drives. Even if there's no device on my network contacting the NAS for hours it keeps the drives spinning seemingly in hopes something would soon read or write something to it, creating a sustained power draw of 18W. My old super cheap Seagate PersonalCloud did that too but I hoped that a company as big in the game as Synology would solve that better.

I heard that keeping the drives spinning is less taxing on them.

That is a good thing, apparently. Hibernating wears down the disk.

[@Jutsch80HD]

@@lastnamefirstname2390 Why should it wear down when turning off when not in use for hours on end. I agree that it would be bad for the drive to turn off and on again all the time but thats not what im talking about.
It's like saying, it would be bad for a car engine to be turned off at every red light but that doesn't mean it would be a good idea to let the engine running over night just to have it ready to drive to work in the morning and then let it run again all day at work to drive home after 8 hours

@@Jutsch80HD The spinning up part ist stressind the drive so thats why it´s less stressing for the drive. This comes from a google paper where they tested which drives died early and what the coralation was.

Great video. I’m thinking of getting the 223j for storage use only. But the 723j sounds good and future proof

[@Techfluencer]

Glad you have liked it!

[@kendragon2827]

They only have 1gb ports and cost more than the asustor which have 2.5gb

[@alphatumeric]

Which series of Asustor?

[@chrisjosh2123]

@@alphatumeric the basic model has 2.5GbE - AS11 series (drivestor)

[@dancarpenter419]

I thought the J series is ending ?

[@Techfluencer]

Hence the 23+

[@brian3075]

They are both bad.

[@deadnlovingit]

Why?
