I had a two bay Synology and needed something that could hold more drives. 6TB is the sweet spot price wise on drives for me. I used my old desktop parts to build an unRAID server and have been really happy with it.
I’ve recently moved on from using Synology, after 6 years my unit was going to stop receiving software updates and I started to worry about hardware failures that would force me to buy another whole unit to preserve my data. So I went the cheap way buying a used desktop computer for $100 and installed Truenas knowing that if something goes wrong with hardware, at least I can fix it all! Synology was a great way to get started in homelab though
It's the Lemur's hands for me. They're adorable :)
Wanted one of these for a loong time, but so much money for what you get.
My favorite zoo animal is a sloth, it gets me on a spiritual level lol
While not foe me, I'm cheap, and I have no server rack. It's a great idea from Synology, hopefully these catch on and Synology can at least spec and price these closer to their normal NAS offerings.
There's also Synology's Active Backup for Business app. It can be used at home (for free) to backup the computers on your network. It is both convenient and easy to use.
Yes sir! Hypothetical business build!
the biggest advantage of off the shelf NAS are how quick to set it up and running. all has been prepared for users ease of use. compared to selfbuild or nerdier appliance using TrueNAS (45Drives for example can be configured using unRAID or TrueNAS), it need more time to setup. but yesss it serve more features and settings compared to off the shelf NAS and cheaper in most cases.
As far as reliability, my company Thecus NAS N12000 nas been running more than 10 years only to suffer from siezed CPU fan. a drop of oil solve it. it even support 10Gb module if needed.
Yesterday, Synology has held an events in my local, and I'm quite amazed how NAS has transformed from just a filesharing to a more complete services by now. it can even run license plate, or facial recognizion on CCTV stream.
If you factor it all in, the quick to setup, ease of use, plenty of supports, ability to do a lot of things and high reliability, the cost are actually not that high anymore.
anyway, going for aligator! rawrrrr... want to choose trex, but not available yet in local zoo. lol
Great video man. Cheers,
Looking forward to the video on how to back up a Synology device to TrueNas and vice versa.
Yes. Please do a dedicated video on IP cameras. I’d also like a deep dive into docker on Synology.
I’d love to see the video about utilizing it for business with the email, chat, and other features. I’m starting one myself right now!
I subscribe because omg I love your beard. ❤️😊 I went with 1621xs+ 2tb nvm for cache and 60tb hdd raptors etc . Business back up is phenomenal along with plex integration. I also setup a isci for gaming and it is timeless. I also bonded all 4 ports and the speed of transfers is hyper speed. Also love the desk mat. I upgraded it with 64gb ram just for fun.
Sounds like a solid setup!
yes please, make a video about hypothetical business solution on the rs822+
The E-Sata port is for the Synology Expansion pack. Also, FYI especially if you have some older TV's/phones it is TERRIBLE at transcoding on the Ryzen processors as they don't support it. The Intel processors have the transcoding capabilities and is amazing for use with Plex/video transcoding.
I couldn't hold in my laughter when he said boys (98%) and girl (1%) in the intro
Hyperbackup can be used to backup to several different destinations. Including an external drive, connected to the NAS itself. So no need for a second NAS, unless you want to have an exact replica of ALL your data on the other NAS of course.
I use an rsync share on a LaCie 5big as Hyperbackup target, works very well.
I do an encrypted HyperBackup to a BackBlaze bucket. It was the lowest cost cloud backup option I could find.
HyperBackup is probably the #1 app/feature for me.
Hyperbackup rsync to a terramaster 5bay. 👌🏾
I have used e-sata for my 4 bay external drive caddy.
Should have made the logo say Owly Fans instead of Only Fans @ 0:07
🤔🤔🤔
While I did enjoy your review of the Synology RS822. The lack of usable RAM is a key point of contention for me, especially given the price point. I also just wanted to say I really appreciated the Fort Minor reference. 🤣
Lol I was wondering when someone would catch that
Thanks!
i'm so happy with unraid i'll never go back to an consumer nas
Thinking about getting one of these. Shipping expensive hardware with mediocre specs but with top notch software seems to be Synologys thing. But I have to deal with IT problems all day at work, something that just works is really appreciated. There’s a time for screwing around with FreeBSD and ZFS…but looking at my 6 month old daughter, this time is not now 😂
lol yep I have an 8 month old so I get it
Synology has been great for me. I have had my Rackstation RC18015xs+ for 6 years with zero problems The specs said I had to have 2 control units but you don't. I have one plus one storage unit with 12 10TB SAS drives. Run it in RAID6 so have 94TB available. One drive failure (HGST drives) in 6 years. It has a Xeon E3-1230 v3 4 core, 8 thread, 3.3 Ghz CPU. 32GB of ECC RAM 4x1GBe and 1 10GBe netork port. Cheap? No. All of the above was about $12,000 at the time but fast and rock solid reliable. Runs the latest DSM 7.1.
older rs models used to make a bit of sense. this product is pointless-useless. no nvme, 2g ram and no video decode accel. for 1000$? why would someone buy this, just because it mounts it in a rack? Forget this and go for any other ds15xx, ds16xx ,ds18xx. Much better products.
@@giornikitop5373 Was looking into buying this for rack purposes, however makes no sense a 923+ is better spec than this. Come on Synology, stop the nonsense.
Synology makes expanders that connect via the esata port.
I love my Synology, but this 822+ model has a very narrow audience for those that need an "all-in-one edge storage solution" (their words) The most dense/cost-effective would probably be 4x 18TB drives giving you 54TB usable w/ SHR. Not bad at all really. Also, given the corporate target audience a) they'd probably not flinch at the cost and b) they'd probably want to spring for the RP flavor, which has redundant power supplies for $300 more.
That said, this thing is about the same price as their DS1821+, which DOES have a pair of nvme slots, twice the drive bays, twice the RAM and twice the expandability.
Only catch is that it's 6.5" tall and would take up 4U on a rack shelf.
Yes. Please simulate a business setup with this rack unit.

A video of the Security app would be great. Considering that I am looking of a device that would work with my camera's.
I would love to see how the surveillance station compares to blue iris.
See... I need this. I need a NAS that is not part of my homelab. my homelab is way too volatile
@20:37 is there something similar to this for unraid? thanks!
Zoboomafoo!
This Synology device is 'OK' at many things, but great at nothing. The only thing going for it is the 'easy software'. Unfortunately, 98% of the time, 'easy software' means there is a lack of extensive features and configuration conveniences. Another concern is that Synology didn't provide multigig ethernet ports. Even for home-use, 2.5Gbps should be included at the most basic level of hardware. Multigig up to and including 10Gbps would only add a few more bucks to the device. The fact that only 1 2G RAM stick is included speaks volumes about their offerings. Synology is unfortunately known for 'cheap' hardware that just barely gets the job done and that fact is highlighted on this product. For those reasons, I have never, nor would ever, consider their products for my needs. With that said, your video was worth the watch, thanks, you sexy beast! :P
I have a 1522+ which is technically my first NAS, Pros is software (DSM is amazing and clear). Con is price-to-performance ratio, no iGPU for AMD cpus and using of old cpus..... with the same price you can build a better NAS, which is exactly what im planning to do
I think I’m going to get this for purely surveillance system use.
I think the Synology models with Ryzen CPUs lack GPU acceleration causing the slower video playback and high CPU usage
I want to see you run a company from one synogoly
Synology software is great. Only thing I don't like is that many models come with 2GB memory and even worse, it is often soldered. You can add 8GB but only one stick...
Are there special rack ears for this device?....I thought it would fit in a standard switch rack?....Nice video
Forgot to include that, but yes it comes with rack ears

My favorite zoo animal is "Created to be the fastest consumer PC in the world by the UK's best gaming PC builder, Skynet has become self aware and is set to Terminate your enemies. Unleash "Judgement Day" upon whom that oppose you with a flagship water cooled AMD Ryzen 9 7950X 12 Core 32 Thread CPU and 2 water cooled Nvidia GeForce® RTX 3090 24GB graphics cards for insane resolutions and frames per second.

Lmao
@@RaidOwl where's my heart raid
I wish you could just license Synology's excellent software and run it on your own hardware. Even a pricey license would be better than 2GB RAM on a 1000 USD machine.
snapshot saves state of now and not changes
Hello. What are the noise levels like for this device?
I’d say it’s slightly louder than a regular desktop but nothing crazy at all. I wouldn’t mind if it was in my office.
This commercial brought to you by....Synology. Haha
I wish. Usually you get paid for those lol
It would be perfect for me if just would be bit more powerful
0:10 ah, tech RUclips... where having more than 2% female audience is a strange anomaly.
It’s been slowly growing 📈
1:15 - Yeah I would have been a bit PO'ed about that. I'm not gonna lie. They couldn't spare like 4 more Gigabytes to add to the 2 they scraped together? Are they rationing RAM? I mean....after spending that much at least hook a dude up with 8GB. You can at least buy an additional 8GB stick to make it transition to a number with a ten's place like 16GB. But....2GB though? Dos Gigabytes??? A single digit?? I'm a grown ass man!!! (Synology: WTF does that have to do with it?) Theres reasons!! You ain't never heard the story of the 3 bears?? Papa bears chair is massive! Papa bear is a grown ass man!! If Goldilocks would have checked papa bears 1U 4-bay Synology RackStation RS822+ with storage and connectivity expandability coupled with Synology DiskStation Manager then she would have checked the RAM and been like "Yo Pop Bizzy is a grown ass man". 2GB though. Yeah...Synology is the family member that gets you socks for Christmas. Socks...wow...thank you Aunt Synology.
This can't only be screwed to a network rack right, you do need rails so the back is supported I suppose?
I use a shelf but it comes with rack ears to support it by the front. People seem to have no issues with that.
@@RaidOwl oh, interesting, if I can get it to hold by the front screws only I'll probably be interested for my small rack, thanks :)
@@RR123 I have the RS820+ which is the same form factor. No rails necessary. Mine is mounted via the rack ears and have no issues.
@@TheMasalaMom how is the noise level?
@@RR123 it’s louder than their DS line of products. But mine is in my network rack in the basement so I don’t hear it on a regular basis
0:10 it's okay, my female percentage is 0.2% ha!
The zoo scares me.
I was all happy to get a sonology nas and all the ones that I want have NVMe drives for cashing have no GPUs for transcoding what the heck I'm going to have to wait until they do the new AMD processors with integrated graphics otherwise they are useless for a Plex user unless you're going to have it at home only
wtf am i supposed to do with 4 bays lol.
about to upgrade from 16 bays to a 36 bay system.
Which is better unraid or synology ?
Yes
Since this is 1U how loud is it?
Honestly pretty quiet under normal load. No louder than a regular desktop
Because it's a $1000 dollars!
Gotta spend money to make money…or something
@@RaidOwl Stonks.
Favorite zoo animal: Sloth.
And dude, what's going on with your voice. Definitely seemed like a struggle to get the narration out for this video. You OK?
what about the noooise
All of that with a processor with out integrated graphics? Hum... I don't think so.
Wireguard is better than OpenVPN, hands down.
will this take third party drives?????? How do you do a review of a Synology and not talk about drive comparability?????
Yes
😇 *Promo SM*!!!
£1000+ and then add vat, not value for money. Plenty use for esata ports.
so you pay 1070$ and then you have to pay "per camera" in SSS..... ggwp
Lemurs are assholes. Don't know why they'd be anyone's favorite.
Yeah, one still owes me $100
How did he knew that my favorite zoo animal was the lemur 🤔
I’m a lemur
@@RaidOwl Yup, the eyes give it away.
I do not know if this guy never used Synology or if he does not know what he is talking about. I have Synology with 512MB RAM and it is absolutely fine for iPhone backup over the Internet, watching videos on TV, and backing up photo video and other stuff on an encrypted drive.
Yeah he does not know what he is talking about, SATA 🤦♂️🙄
Yeah this guy sucks! Downvoted!
I wouldn't buy such a server, much less for $1000
First
Yo, turned off video when you started with the censorship.
I don't need you to tell me if I get to see toes or not, THIS IS STILL AMERICA LAST TIME I CHECK! WHERE AM I? CHINER?
Wait, seriously, am I in China? I've been drunk the last year and don't know why the same weird looking guy's photo is in everyone's house.
I guess it's time to learn Mandurian oranges.
Mandarin oranges are delicious
@@RaidOwl I wonder if they named the language after the oranges because they're so delicious.
Hey, link me to a video about your RAID and backup configurations, I just lost an entire 64 TB z2 RAID array that had 4 hot spares, you know, so that wouldn't happen; it's time to reconfigure my entire home data-less center.
Yeah but it’s synology and too much expansive for what it is
$1000. 2Gb ram. 1Gbps networking. Hard pass.
Synology just fail.
Trash specs for the price. They charge what they do ~~BeCaUsE RaCkMoUnT~~ pisses me off.
