Using Synology NAS, DSM 7.1 and Unofficial Memory Modules for DSx20+ series NAS systems are not cheap and nor are the accessories! However, one area that many new/existing NAS buyers take issue with more than most is the cost of official NAS memory. It’s an unfortunate fact that any computer system that has been built/tailored towards a specific purpose, is going to end up costing more. This usually comes down to much more specific design requirements and NAS drives are no different. But when it comes to Memory modules, people are slightly less forgiving. When a NAS brand sells it’s branded memory, many are quick to raise that the brand rarely makes the memory itself and instead they are putting their branded labels on memory from the...

Comparing the Synology DS1520+ vs DS1522+ NAS – Which Should You Buy? Let’s be honest. Network Attached Storage (NAS) is much the same as any other kind of consumer-available technology, in that every few years a brand will release the latest hardware in its portfolio and buyers will IMMEDIATELY start comparing it versus its predecessor.

Today I want to take a closer look at these two NAS systems from the big brand in NAS drives and compare their strengths, their weaknesses and ultimately help...

Synology DS1520+ vs DS1019+ NAS – Which Should You Buy? When it comes to buying a robust desktop NAS solution for a professional consumer or small business, Synology has always ranked pretty high in terms of popularity. Providing a well-defined portfolio of solutions that tailor towards different priorities, be they power, storage or efficiency, you would be hard pushed to find a decent solution in their current series that doesn’t suit your needs. However, when it comes to 5 bay NAS solutions in 2020/2021, the available Synology solutions are actually quite thin on the ground. In fact, the 2 most relevant solutions available are the brand new Synology DS1520+ and the Synology DS1019+ (released in mid-2019). With both solutions serving...

Synology DS1520+ vs DS920+ NAS – Which Should You Buy? The Synology 2020 series is a range that went from relative obscurity to practically being almost entirely fleshed out in less than 3 months. Featuring an enormous range of desktop NAS solutions, mid-range rackmounts and PCIe upgrade cards, they have improved a number of the key devices in their product portfolio this year. However, two of the very last diskstation NAS solutions in this range have been released just over six weeks apart and although arriving in differing drive numbers and price points, the new Synology DS1520+ that was recently revealed is arguably one of the best mid-range Intel-powered solutions the brand has released. That said, many potential and existing...

Brand New Synology DS1520+ and DS1621xs+ NAS Revealed Good news for anyone waiting for a new NAS from Synology and want to ensure they get the ‘latest generation’ with the reveal (thanks to Luka @ BlackVoid) of a new Synology Diskstation device, the Synology DS1520+ NAS. Although reveal might be a tad strong, given that the model ID is largely all we know at this stage. Though, thanks to the architecture of Synology model IDs, we can make some educated guesses about the hardware. However, we are currently unable to identify whether it serves as the predicted update to the DS1019+ (eg Intel Celeron, NVMe, 2x LAN, plastic chassis) or an update to the older DS1517+ (Intel Atom, 4x LAN, metal Chasis). If it is the latter, it may well kick...

This will likely be the last of the NAS drives from Synology to carry the x20+ model ID, so let’s take a good look at everything we know about this NAS and whether...
