- Small factor - DSM is a really polish OS - A lot of youtube videos on how to setup the unit.
+ Fast + 4 network ports, added 10G port + Ryzen chip, 8G of RAM + SSD cache
- (still) powerful CPU with hardware video processing - upgradeable RAM - SSD cache/storage pool option
I had a DS415+ since about 2014-2015 and it finally died on me, so I ordered the new DS1821+ and put my old drives in and it booted up with a migration wizard and was up and running in a few minutes.
- Well made - Nice little heatsink on the chip. - Fast ... really fast !
Only got this up and running for a day or two but the experience has been a world better than my Dlink DNS320 from yester-years. Interface and setup process was smooth and running TRAID with 2 16TB Seagate X18s. Love the fact that the product offers TRAID and will be likely running iSCSI with my primary gaming desktop to replicate full AMZ Photo, Gaming drive backup for games that require ultimate m.2 speeds. Upgrading my network to 2.5G right now to take advantage of the added speed. This NAS is a great value for what's offered and no issues with the TOS 5.1 software so far.
Good Interface, stable product, great price, good online Video training, easy to setup for basic functions, easy to link to vie home network, TV connections. Quite and good power management.
I was able to replace 2 Raspberry Pi's and a repurposed older desktop with a single compact machine that is SO much easier to maintain. Why did I wait this long?
