Synology 2-Bay DiskStation DS723+ (Diskless)

Product Information

NVMe SSDs arriving with thousands of MBs of throughput (compared with the rather limiting 250-270MB/s maximum of modern high-end HDDs), this feature also effectively turns the DS723+ 2-Bay into a 4-Bay NAS system. You can easily categorize your photo memories, smoothly manage files across computers and mobile devices, and enjoy blazing fast web applications. Synology seems to have the upper hand software-wise which I suspect carries more weight for a home user than the superior hardware of the Qnap? it wil just freeze for a tenth of a second during playback (like the spiderman-scene at 8:40 when they’re talking, 8:49 with the large screen, at 9:00 during the fade-in).

Media BUT you do not have client hardware that supports these types (or allows local client conversions/transcoding), then the NAS will have to use raw horsepower to get the job done – much less efficient than embedded graphics doing the job. It may seem especially unusual for Synology to provide the option of 10GbE on a 2-Bay NAS (as the brand has been oddly reluctant to provide greater than gigabit connectivity on their smaller devices till now) but this was a feature in one form or another that users who have been looking at the expandable 2-Bay and 4-Bay diskstation series (DS716+, DS718+ and DS720+) have been requesting for YEARS! the mini pc would have the plex server on it and it would be connected to the nas to have access to the video files.I’m very disappointed about there being no integrated graphics because I think most home users are going to want to play movies on it. Most home users are not going to benefit from 10GBE yet because everything else in the house runs 1GBE or less. Over the last 4-5 years we have seen Synology become increasingly focused on it’s own first-party hardware and services. adapters and even the affordability of 10GbE on some client devices has allowed users to gradually scale up their hardware environment. The Synology DS723+ is a 2-bay compact and flexible NAS solution that can be adjusted and expanded as your needs change, with optional support for up to seven drives, faster networking, and NVMe SSDs for caching or additional storage pools.

I do have a shield pro on my main TV, but not all my devices can direct play everything nor all of them are 4k (my cellphone and laptop are 1080p). There is considerable thought put into the packaging for the DS723+ which comes in a sturdy, recyclable cardboard box, no bigger than 2 kg, but which provides space and sustains to the integrity of the NAS box. Con la facilidad de un maestro sabio, permitió organizar y acceder a cada archivo con una simpleza sorprendente. NVMe SSD pools on previous Synology Diskstation releases with support of these 2280 slots ( DS920+, DS1621+xs+, DS1821+ etc just to name a few) is not coming any time soon.The support and compatibility of 3rd party hardware on the DS723+ NAS is a fraction more streamlined than some might like (eg 22TB and 20TB HDDs still remain absent on the compatibility list, yet Synology branded 18TB drives are clearly available and we absent upto that point despite WD and Seagate NAS alternatives in the market), but overall the DS723+ is still a great NAS and easily cements itself as the best 2 bay offering by the brand in their 20+ year history. It has only been now with the release of the Synology DS923+ and DS723+ that the brand has become a little more flexible and allowed users the choice to use these much, MUCH faster (and so much, MUCH more expensive) types of storage media to be used as storage pools and volumes. All in all, you can’t get around a hardware upgrade for multi-gigabit – definitely in the case of the RAM, but also with the NVMe SSDs.
