Synology BeeStation Hard Drive Upgrade – A Step By Step Guide

NAS Compares Synology BeeStation Hard Drive Upgrade – A Step By Step Guide

How to Upgrade the Hard Drive in Your BeeStation Why Would You want to change the hard drive in the Synology Beestation? Whether you are an existing owner of the Synology Beestation or a potential NAS buyer who is considering moving away from public cloud services onto your own personal cloud, the Beestastion and BSM provide a fantastically user-friendly alternative to the Synology Diskstation and DSM solutions that the brand has been releasing for almost 25 years. The Beestation can be set up in minutes, sets up all the apps, storage and services in 3 clicks and is BY FAR the most user-friendly NAS system I have ever used!

Synology DS423+ NAS Unofficial Memory Upgrade Guide – Crucial, Kingston & Sabrent Modules

NAS Compares Synology DS423+ NAS Unofficial Memory Upgrade Guide – Crucial, Kingston & Sabrent Modules

How to Upgrade the RAM in your Synology DS423+ to 10GB and 18GB RAM Officially/Unofficially The Synology DS423+ NAS is a NAS system that arrives with an impressive middle ground between Power, Efficiency and Price, thanks to that previously used Intel Celron J4125 CPU, as well as scaled back expandability and memory when compared to the DS923+ and DS920+ NAS Premium 4-Bay Diskstations. The DS423+ is one of the latest generation of Diskstation devices (in the 2022/2023 series), but seems to be targeting the home/SOHO/SMB user more than the more high business presentation of other recent releases by the brand. However, the system arrives with 2GB, but can be upgraded officially to a slightly unusual 6GB of RAM! The reason for this is...

Is NOW finally the Time For You to Upgrade to 10GbE?

NAS Compares Is NOW finally the Time For You to Upgrade to 10GbE?

Upgrading from 1GbE to 10GbE – Should You Do It? Whether you are a completely new NAS buyer or someone that has owned their own private server for a number of years, the idea of upgrading your local network from the rather standard gigabit Ethernet up to 10-gigabit Ethernet has always floated around in the background of the more enthusiastic server owner. Notwithstanding the obvious advantages in bandwidth that are going to be made available by this upgrade, there is always going to be the question of whether it is worth the time or money for your own personal setup to take this rather large step. The affordability of 10-gigabit Ethernet has improved wildly in the last few years, alongside innovations in just how straightforward the...

It’s been a long road and one that I have been following on and off for almost 3 years since its initial reveal, with DSM 6.2 receiving several key updates in the meantime and many users are pondering whether to upgrade their existing Synology NAS server to the latest version. Synology will continue to maintain DSM 6.2 (as some systems are not able to use DSM 7 yet), though obviously, this will decrease over time as DSM 7.0 becomes the Synology’s focus. so, today I wanted to...

NAS Compares Synology Upgrade Cards Guide – 10G, NVMe, 25Gbe and More

A Guide to Synology PCIe Upgrade Cards There comes a point in the lifespan of most Synology NAS drives, big or small, that the performance, bandwidth and general throughput that the device is capable of hit a bit of a glass ceiling. Perhaps it is those rather restrictive 1Gbe ports in 2021, hardware features like M.2 slots of more modern systems that are sadly missing from your own older release or simply that your own external network hardware environment has scaled up noticeable and your Synology NAS is now a bottleneck? Sometimes replacing the NAS with a newer model is the only answer, but sometimes the operational lifespan of your NAS can be noticeably extended by installing a PCIe Upgrade card.

How to Upgrade the RAM in your Synology DS1821+ to 32GB and 64GB RAM Unofficially Back in Autumn 2020, when the Synology DS1821+ was first released, many users were surprised at the maximum memory an type of locked limit that the manufacturers stated on the specifications – 32GB of ECC DDR4 to be precise (spread over 2 SODIMM slots, with a primary slot occupied with an official Synology 2400Mhz 4GB DDR4 Module). With the AMD Ryzen V1500B 4-Core chip that the Synology DS1821+ arrives with, it did seem odd that the only Error Code Correction memory should be used (ECC is nice but quite industry-specific) and only 4GB of DDR4 memory arrived by default (same as the DS920+ and DS1621+) for this chip was listed firmly in the specification to...
