Considering for a offsite backup. Thanks for the great review.
I love your channel. I just bought Synology DS223 plus Toshiba N300 NAS Drives.
Thks & yous mentioned DS223+;
I guesses there's still hopes for a good/cool/cheap/etc home NAS maybes ;)
Every time I listen to the reviews of the product I bought, I wished I purchased the "other." 😢
Completely O.T. : Robbie, would you consider a video on which upgrades you would suggest for several use cases. For example, where would you add memory ? An SSD cache ? Etc. And, while we're here, perhaps another video where, instead of starting with a particular NAS, start with 4 or 5 use cases and discuss what those users should be considering in their choice of a NAS. CPU's, memory, cache, data transfer rates in/out, graphics processing, etc ? Maybe 2 or 3 NAS choices per use case.
It's great to see a thorough review of the Synology ds-223, especially for home users. The value and simplicity of this NAS are appealing, and the one-touch USB copy button is a thoughtful addition for backups. However, it's a bit disappointing to still have only one GbE port in this day and age. I agree that offering 2.5 GbE or USB adapter support would have been a significant improvement. Nonetheless, for those looking to dip their toes into the world of NAS, this seems like a reasonable entry point.
Hey there! I really gotta compliment you on your ability to pump out daily, quality content. I only recently got into PCs and NAS, so I’m still pretty new with a lot to learn, but I’m really thankful I found your channel. Serious kudos to you. I see daily, in-depth posts from you and it’s seriously impressive. Keep it up and best of luck!
Great Video - very helpful. we have a WD 8TB drive and its so slow. do you know a drive that would not be so slow? just want to make sure i put great fast drives in the new 2bay. thank you.
I like your long review
Thanks for the review, in the video you show a seagate 20tb hdd, i want to buy this nas and i like to use the toshiba 20tb disk, do you know if this drives are compatible without losing space? Thanks!
USB copy was extremely slow though...like it was much slower than dragging it over network, is that still the case?
Hi, If I only want my files safe... Is this 2 bay Raid1 NAS good enough for continuous backups? Or should I benefit more from 4 bay Raid5?
i have the problem with DSM 7 that the IPSEC server does not run well, and there are connection problems, but when using 6,2 the problems are disappered. Is there a fault in DSM7 ??
Hi, i've an old ds213+ and now i am thinking about an upgrade...ds220+ with upgraded ram 6gb could be a better choice than this 223 ? tks
I have been working with the DS120j single bay version. I need to have the ability to ether create four volumes to control size or four shared folders for the same reason. The DS120j will not support either, seems the software is limited, wondering if this dual bay is the same way.
Thanks for the review. I need some urgent advice. My very old DS214 failed a few months after i upgraded the HDD to a Toshiba N300 8 Gb. Moving to other brands will require formating right? I do not want to format the drive so if i were to go with the DS233 can i just plug my drive and expect it to read off the bat? Thanks
I have a question. Looking at the NAS Compares comparison article on Synology 2 Bay devices, it states that 2.5inch SSD's are optional in relation to the mounting trays, or so it seems to me based on the description in the comparison table. It's confusing and this review doesn't suggest you need some optional bit of kit to mount 2.5inch SSD's.
What's going on?
Hi can I use it for store Adobe Photoshop design ?
Is this a good NAS to put in a bedroom when I use SSD's as storage?
Hi. Im planning build a NAS with a Qnap TS-230. A friend recomend using a Rasbery pi and use two drives. Do you have experience on this? Can it have sync files like Qnap one? Raid1?
Will there be DS223+ to replace DS220?
There will be Docker support on this model with DSM 7.2.
is it better than ds220+ ?
What is a good Synology NAS for holding my Lightroom Catalogue? processor, ram, should I get one with M.2 NVME ? 2 or 4 bay
Why not going for an ASUSTOR LOCKERSTOR?
A couple weeks ago I bought an Xbox S - roughly the price of this NAS. The box came with a 5cm hole, but there's not even a scratch on the device thanks to good quality protective cardboard structure.
So no, this is not dull. And the fact that anyone would package fragile electronics this way - knowing many (if not most) of consumers will buy online - is just sad. My coffee beans come in better boxes.
Basically it's DSM and two drive availability for the value proposition... plus a roll of duct tape for hardware vis-a-vis... reality?
That intro got me to bad 😂❤
Thanks for the review. I am looking for my first nas and since 223 released I have a question: should I buy DS223 or Qnap TS-230 (it's 2 times cheaper) or add a little money and buy DS220+?
Thanks in advance
Depends on what you want to do. Only store data? The Qnap will be fine. If you want a bit more sophistication, DS218,220 or 223.
If you see yourself needing more speed, wanting to run servers, or wanting more capacity (more than two drives), DS420+ or higher.
Thats what I was missing in this Review and thats what the most people will ask themselves. Why this, why not the 220, or 723? Whats the reasoning? Because a person is new to NAS and should tipeditoe and start with this, waste money and then when the toes are ready, switch to 220, 723?? I felt like getting read a specs document, but not the real interesting info and reasoning WHY BUY THIS INSTEAD DSXXX, QNAP, OR DIY NAS, OR WHY NOT BUY THIS.
First of all, what do you want to do with it? Just like you said you want to buy a car and hope we can give you some suggestions. Would you like to choose Bugatti directly😂
@@wangliangchen lol
@@wangliangchen hahahaha 1+
You say that it's an ARM CPU but in the specs, it's listed as a Realtek RTD1619B which isn't an option on the PLEX website to download it's just ARM Intel or AMD so what do I choose? Okay, I watched the whole video now which was great by the way so it's ARM thanks for the help. Cannot believe it doesn't have a Plex app
I wonder how it compares to 220+ :P
I was taking a walk in Switzerland high up in the mountains, freezing cold, downloaded this and was waiting and waiting for exactly this, the important Infos. Why buy this NAS? What are the pros an cons compared to the DS220, DS723+, Qnap, or a DIY NAS.
Thats what I was missing in this Review and I bet thats what the most people will ask themselves. If I understood correctly, the reasoning is: if a person is new to NAS, they should tipeditoe and start with this, potentionally waste money and then when the toes are warm and stretched out, switch to 220, 723?
I felt like getting read a specs document, but not the real interesting info and reasoning WHY BUY THIS INSTEAD DSXXX, QNAP, OR DIY NAS, OR WHY NOT BUY THIS.
can it torrent?
Seagull intro 🤣
Indirect but clear eh? 😉
Damn seagulls 🧐
If I get right - this thing can't transcode direct play, BUT i CAN play files on devices thrue the SMB/DLNA file streaming (by recources of device who trying to open this video files). Right?
I deffenently ready to my first NAS)) But noobs is so noobies))
Yes, I have a 10 year old Nas that can do that. All you are doing is reading the data from the drive
I would like a NAS that supports ssd drives?
You majority of them do. SATA 2.5" anyway
does this support docker?
In DSM 7.2, Yes. But the name has changed to Container Manager
Got to say, the X20+ was way better suited for home users for the media performance, these X23+ are made mostly for offices. Is Synology ditching the home user base? I’m seriously considering other brands from now and Synology was my go to for years.
Se me han puesto los dientes largos con las opciones del dispositivo. Vengo de un D-Link del año 2011 (lo jubilé de casa en 2021) y un WD de 2018, que lleva 1 semana sin poder acceder a mis archivos por internet por un ciberataque que han sufrido los servidores de WD el 26 de abril, aún sin respuesta. Espero que tras los más de 300 euros que me voy a gastar en España, me sirva para que esto no ocurra de nuevo y de paso tener la sensación de poder usar un escritorio remoto en mi tableta cuando salgo de viaje.
ds223 vs ds220+ ?
Yea the important Infos and the whole point why you'd look up a video on this. In the first placee. You want the pros and cons vs DSXXX, Qnap, even DIY.
220 plus 100%win, But the question is that when ds223 plus on the shelf, ds220 plus will be off the shelf（ps：I'm waiting for ds423j）
@@wangliangchen why j? Iv heard j is super slow and not worth.
btw. cude short, I liked it, maybe it gets viral. A friend of mine has some stupid cat video that went viral and it generates him hundreds of Swiss Francs (about 1:1 Euro) each month with millions of views for no work lol.
@@nemiw4429 First of all, take a look at Amazon. The price of the ds420j is the same as that of the ds220 plus(one-third of the price of 420 plus). That is to say, this is the cheapest ４bay nas you can buy. Secondly, it is a metal shell, not a perishable garbage plastic. As for docker(maybe others), I have other computers to run. For me, the [home] nas is just for storage. In terms of performance, storage is not particularly slow. and the important thing is → it is very smooth to watch movies with AppleTV.
That intro earned you a like.
I never use the USB for NAS anyway
On the face of it Synology have lost the plot and the majority of home users who use their NAS as a media server, like me, won’t be buying a Synology next.
Yes, this is an entry level device but if this was 1985 it would be perfect. This is a sad attempt and is a sub entry level NAS
If they would just give the option to buy the software and stop suffering us with the netbook hardware
Yes it is cheap, but not best money valve than ds723+
you what's the best solution to save files or whatever is to buy an external hard drive and connect it to a computer and save, unplug and you're done. no mess ho headache
223...hum....
Excellent review as usual. However, vastly overpriced product, regardless of the great Synology software. They missed the mark.
Damn birds…
I was expecting a comparison between the DS723+*, DS220, similar Qnap Systems and DIY NAS. Why buy, or not buy this NAS. A deal comparison with DS220 + HDD included vs this + buying more expensive seperate HDD. Instead I felt I was being read a Wikipedia page and the specs.
Also I wish you'd sometimes explain the shortcuts like DSM, because its very vold now in Switzerland and I was outside going for a walk wihile listening to this and I couldnt always pull out the Phone after every shortcut I didnt understand. Maybe in future you can explain some of them in 1 short sentence. Explaining each and every shortcut in the next - total guess - 10 videos for new NAS users like myself.
*You did mention it but where was the reasoning? Why not invest 100.- more. Whats the comparison, pros and cons. Your reasoning is: buy this if your new to NAS, so you can tipeditoe with this one, untill your toes are ready for a better NAS? What? Its not funny, its a long Video and at the end Im not being explained why this one, why not 723+, why not 220? Qnap?
So cpu and gpu wise it gets outclassed by a 3 year old smartphone and it does not support plex.
For the life of me ... I can't see the value of this product when still existing the TS253 or the even cheaper Terramaster F2-221
Who will buy this?
Wait,what? Doesn't support Plex? It's 95% of the reason I'm looking to buy a NAS.
@@deadheads1352 it's not a secret as it was covered in the video at 29:19
🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha funny
He he
