For those looking to upgrade or acquire a new NAS that is not in a desktop (DS) form but rather a rack version, good news! The new refreshed general-purpose 12-bay NAS has arrived. As a successor to the current RS2421+/RP+ model with a few new tricks and changes, let's see what the new RS2423+/RP+ has in store. RS2423+/RP+ - the new 12-bay mid-range NAS The new 2U device is an upgrade to the previous model in terms of CPU, RAM, and I/O, as well as overall performance and speed. Designed with small and medium-sized businesses in mind, the RS2423+ will provide more than enough performance with the built-in quad-core AMD Ryzen V1780B CPU and 8GB of ECC DDR4 (up to 32GB). Upgraded from the previous generation (v1500B and 4GB of RAM)...
Jellyfin on a Synology NAS – An EASY Installation Guide The benefits of using a Synology NAS to enjoy your decades of collected multimedia on all of your network client devices (Smart TV, Phones, Tablets, Console, etc) are all pretty well established. Alongside not having to pay the monthly/annual media subscription services of the likes of Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ and more to effectively ‘rent’ media, thanks to services like Jellyfin, you can scrape online databases for all of your box art, trailers, cast information etc and have your own media collected presented to you in anot dissimilar way to those paid subscription services – with media YOU OWN! Although a number of popular multimedia streaming platforms have grown in popularity...
Synology RS2423+ and RS2423RP+ 10GbE NAS Rackmount Revealed To say that Synology has been active in the first quarter of 2023 would be a fantastic understatement. In just two short months, they have formally and informally revealed a series of hardware solutions, beta software updates and are now beginning the rollout of their SMB/large-scale solutions. Last week was the release of the DS1823xs+, but possibly more interesting is the RS2423+ – a new 12-Bay Rackstation server that has taken the existing formula of this product series and scaled it up in some surprising ways. For a brand that occasionally gets criticism for being a little bland in it’s hardware choices, the Synology RS2423+ (also RS2423RP+ Redundant PSU version) scales up...
Synology DS423+ Diskstation NAS Revealed Synology is having a remarkably busy start to 2023, with several high-profile NAS solutions being introduced to the market and today we want to discuss one that many have been waiting to hear about for quite a while – The Synology DS423+ NAS. With some much of Synology’s hardware output in the last year or so feeling that they were erring more and more in the direction of business users, it is quite a breath of fresh air to hear that Synology is releasing a new desktop 4-Bay that is arguably more multimedia friendly. Serving as the followup to the summer 20202 released DS420+, this new 4-Bay is an Intel Celeron-powered compact system that (although not exactly reinventing the wheel – more on...
Synology DS223 NAS Drive – Does It Deserve Your Data? The DS223 NAS is one of the best Synology Value 2-Bay systems that the brand has ever released, featuring a number of series-firsts in terms, yet still maintaining largely the same price point as the other two bays in the Value/J series to date. However, there is no avoiding that this is not going to be a system that suits everyone and although I waxed lyrical and was largely positive about its features in my Synology DS223 NAS Review, there are definitely going to be some elements of the DS223 NAS that will convince you to opt for a different solution. So, today I want to discuss the five things about the Synology DS223 that make it a must-have NAS in 2023 and five things that...
The WD Dual Actuator Ultrastar HS760 20TB HDD Revealed When it comes to storing large amounts of data in a data center or even a single large-scale server rack array, having larger capacity hard drives is essential to achieve better Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). However, with many applications requiring access to frequently used warm data, traditionally more affordable but slower mechanical HDDs have begun to present a bottleneck – with many highlighting the glass-ceiling performance of traditional single actuator (the arm that reads the platters) drives starting to become the end of the road! Although WD is not the first to discuss and research into confronting this bottleneck (more on that later), the newly revealed Ultrastar DC...

Which is the Best NAS Media Server Tool – Plex, Emby or Jellyfin Although modern Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices can be used for a multitude of purposes, there has always been a large percentage of users who buy a NAS from the likes of Synology, QNAP, Asustor and Terramaster (or go full DiY/Open Source and opt for TrueNAS) in order to host their own multimedia server. If you have been out of the loop this last decade or so, then you might not be aware that the standard of media server software and ease of use has evolved incredibly and when it comes to NAS drive multimedia streaming, there are THREE big players in this arena – Plex, Jellyin and Emby. These three platforms (alongside many others, including tools such as Video...
Synology DS1823xs+ 10GbE 8-Bay NAS Revealed Ever wondered if Synology would ever release a 10GbE solution that was targeted at photo/video editors? A moderate-sized NAS, maybe 8 bays or so, expandable, supports M.2 NVMe, a PCIe upgrade slot that allowed further network upgrades and a big warranty for peace of mind? Well, THAT is exactly what the Synology DS1823xs+ NAS is! This new 8-Bay NAS solution from Synology, arriving sometime in Q1 of 2023 by the looks of it, has ALOT of the things that long-time Synology follows have asked for and although we already touched on the rumours of the DS1823xs+ Diskstation way back in September of last year and in our Rumours and Predictions video back in September, it has now been confirmed – and...
💡 This article will be updated with new info on the beta as they come to light, with specifically dedicated articles for new DSM 7.2 versions and features at a later date.
