  • +1

    Just get + version of any synology nas

    • Just setting up my 920+ atm. Even just the GUI is lightening fast compared to my outgoing 218j

  • Just purchased Synology DiskStation DS220J from Amazon….any reports on this?

    My 2x 10tbs WD Reds just arrived today (amazon) fingerst prossed the packaging was enough

    • Still waiting got my 4TBs to ship. What was the packaging like ?

      Pointless I know but I chatted with them the other night re 'poor packaging anecdotes' and to pack my drives well lol
      For some reason they threw me $10 credit.

      • Yeah paakcing was like others reported, just the hard drive boxes with AIRplus bags inbetween. Not great.

        Hoping for no issues

      I bought this few weeks ago but returned it as it was just slow when it was doing nothing at all so I returned it and bought 220+ instead.
      Have upgraded the RAM from 2GB to 10GB now (added 8GB) and its lightning fast.

      • I have a 220+, but thought it's max RAM is 6 GB, (2GB soldered+4)

      • Do you stream with it so is it good at transcoding and streaming in 4k?

        • Its alright. But i dont use synology media server / video station for this as its slow.

          I use docker with Serviio (DLNA) which gives much better performance.

          You cant use docker on J versions of NAS

    • I've got a DS220J. It's okay for what I intended it for, which is a backup target for my main NAS. That said, the interface is kinda slow, although serviceable but the difference is definitely noticeable compared to my ds418play. I also use it as a VPN for security cameras. Wouldn't be able to cope with any transcoding of course.

    • Got the same (w/ 10TB seagates) - works great.

    Is this a good option for local backup only (i.e. not using as a Plex server or anything).

    Don't want to get something too over-specced.

    • +1

      For simple backups, it will be plenty.

    If you want more info on any of the NAS units, check out an YouTuber - nascompares he does excellent reviews and comparisons.
    Used his info when looking for all 4 of my NAS, and he's spot on!

    • Thanks will check it out as I am in the market for a NAS and am tossing between the 220+ and the 720+

    • Which NAS did you go with?

  • Is this something that people using Plex could use to stream their movies on¿
