considering they are jacking up prices for everything and what they charge for HDD and now ne prosumer level Hardware/Software they are in fact abandoning all the home and small business users to go after that enterprise money this is very clear and this guy is stupid to say otherwise.
@@zapman2100 They still have a lot of units that don't require their hard drives.
If it's an official response, you can share his or her name.
@@ifneeded1 it is official but I'm not giving out my contacts name. Feel free to reach out to Synology yourself.
I use them at home and work, I have the opposite thoughts that they aren’t enterprise enough to use for most people. I don’t have an issue using them but most of my peers see them as only for home and smb storage. They would never think of putting them in an enterprise environment and their reasoning is that support isn’t there yet they all want on-site repair/replacement not cross ship. I’d pay for better support contracts for hardware and software support.
Their software isn’t able to scale to some of the sizes I need, it starts acting funny after 1pb.
If you want to talk large scale storage I am on his forum.
Their larger units have next day replacement - I've had to use it and it's worked out well. Typically for something like that we design in HA. Synology and QNAP are living more places that you know.
@@WillieHowe I HA everything too but for me it’s I am not on-site and it’s a flight to go fix it.
My largest gripe is the exorbitant cost they are charging for hard drives. I would be OK with a 50% markup. But 100% it’s tough to swallow. This alone has caused me to start looking hard at other solutions. For my small business, the price of the NAS is a huge cost already.
100% this is the issue.
But the good thing is, is that you can use any brand's hard drive, WD, Seagate, Toshiba, etc.
How is a nas a huge cost ?
@@yourpcmdyes however this pooches reporting because like PERCs they are not marked as 'certified' drives and may affect warranty coverage.
That’s why I didn’t not Go for XS series but got a 1621+
I don't think anyone would deny a company it's need to grow their business.
However, when you have a major announcement... There yearly announcement?? With nothing on the software/product side for prosumer, SMB. Then you question their focus.
The drive for enterprise is sucking up all the oxygen in the room. That leaves a gap to be exploited and let's be honest hardware at the lower end hasn't been a strong point for years, for Synology.
You never know, they may have a September launch for the rest of their software/hardware devices.
I don't think so, but I do know they are pushing for cloud storage for off-site backups.
I have a DS218+ and there hasn’t been a significant upgrade from Synology to make me want to upgrade. At this point I’m torn between staying with Synology or moving to office 365
maybe they will release a rack mounted router and POE access points like I begged them for a few years ago. This will serve many of their user groups. I love their router GUI, but want POE APs
I'm happy they (Synology) are breaking into the enterprise space, however, at the same time, do they really need 50 (exaggerating) different products for the home and SMBs? No, IMO. If Ugreen ran DSM, it would destroy Synology's NAS offerings (rumor has it Ugreen is working on a rack NAS) and I can see someone porting DSM over to use on Ugreen and any other NAS devices because DSM is far superior to other OSs. On the flip side, other NAS company's devices are superior to MOST of Synologys and in many cases at a cheaper cost.
Great video Willie! With new players such as Ugreen, its good to know Synology remains committed to the prosumer/SMB market.
But you still can’t use non-synology hdds. For example rs1619xs is 16tb maximum.
You can use non Synology hdds if you don't care about the warning and support on some models.
@@WillieHowe I tried with nvme cache. Array failed. So I have to recover about 30 tb of data. So thank you, no
Thank you for taking the initiative to dig into all the speculation. You’ve provided concrete information regarding Synology.
Good info. Thanks Willie
my "Inside contact" . . . gotta love it!
@@RobertoCarlos-tn1iq coulda said handler 😂
after getting UnRaid i haven't even been interested in Synology
Are people afraid they are going to lose the top tier support for products? lol. If I were them, I'd be going to go eat more of Cisco's lunch as well. Do they still make wifi access points with a self hosted controller? Yes? Well, then they haven't changed anything as far as the home user clients are concerned and I've never seen or put anything other than their l2 switches and camera systems into businesses. To be blunt their routers and l3 switches have not been anything competitive vs. what you really want in those spots historically anyway. Don't give a hoot about anything else they make. I don't understand the deal with the camera storage. If you are serious about your security setup, you have your on site NVR and then the storage is offsite and redundant. Most SMB won't have a secondary location and anyone larger will probably want something like Axis anyway. Or be legally required to have something like Axis that won't run afoul of any import/foreign bans.
@@LackofFaithify you lost me. Who are we talking about?
Hm, while I’m not as current on Synology pricing if you consider the software and apps provided as part of the synology solution it’s a deal. They are work horses with saddle bags.
Eh, they used to be the pacesetter here. But nowadays, LXC has made it startlingly simple to do the things they used to be the best at.
I just want them to put a real CPU in the 8 units
Any updates of the isp videos
@@jordantekelenburg As soon as they release EdgeOS 3 I will continue.
