This new model gets you the brains of the pricier DS1522+ but with a compact design of the DS220+ - all at an affordable price. If you fall in that category, the new DS723+ is the right Synology NAS for you. And since the DS423+ isn’t designed for commercial use, it lacks an eSATA port that lets you attach a Synology expansion unit to add more drives.įor individual professionals and freelancers working from home, a NAS enclosure's horsepower tends to be more crucial than its storage capacity. However, the 2GB of base memory is expandable up to only 6GB. That’s more than enough for household use involving photo backups, media streaming, surveillance, and more. Like its predecessor (the DS420+), the DS423+ is also a four-bay system, allowing you to insert four drives of 16TB each for a total capacity of 64TB (without accounting for redundancy). And if you’re wondering, the DS423+ is a perfect fit for Plex streaming as its integrated GPU can do the heavy lifting when transcoding media files on the fly. Its four cores can easily handle multiple apps and tens of surveillance cameras simultaneously. The processor may not be the newest variant around, but it’s still a pretty capable chip for a consumer NAS. While Synology has been switching to AMD processors for many of its NAS models, it stuck with the good-old Intel Celeron J4125 processor on the DiskStation DS423+ - the same quad-core one used on the DS920+. Alternatively, you can go for the upgraded DS1621xs+ model, which gets you an even beefier Intel Xeon processor, a built-in 10GbE port, and 8GB of base RAM. However, the base model of this NAS enclosure starts with only 4GB of RAM, so you will have to increase the RAM from the get-go. With the DS1621+, you get a PCIe slot to add a bunch of compatible accessories to the NAS, including a 10GbE LAN port. It’s very well suited for heavy lifting, from running virtual machines and server-class apps to supporting tens of users accessing the files simultaneously. The quad-core Ryzen chip offers a far superior raw performance over the Intel Celeron range usually found on retail NAS boxes. Speaking of businesses, the DS1621+ is designed for workplace users instead of home users, which is why an AMD processor makes more sense on this NAS enclosure. This is a big deal for small businesses with massive data needs, giving them some extra headroom to work with in the long run. Starting with the available storage space, the DS1621+ lets you add six hard drives before you need to buy an expansion unit to store more data.
If the DS1522+ doesn’t cut it for you, you can go for the Synology DiskStation DS1621+, which is beefier in nearly all areas.
