How to Upgrade the RAM in your Synology DS723+ to 32GB and 64GB RAM Officially/Unofficially
The Synology DS723+ NAS is a NAS system that arrives with an impressive middle ground between Power, Efficiency and Price, thanks to that AMD Ryzen R1600 CPU, flexibility in a 10GbE upgrade, storage expandability and (of course) arriving with ECC memory. The DS723+ is one of the latest generation of Diskstation devices (in the 2022/2023 series) that seems to be targeting the more advanced SMB user, prioritizing throughput and performance, whilst also doubling down on data integrity with things like BTRFS and ECC memory. However, the system arrives with 2GB, but can be upgraded officially to a very impressive 32GB (for the scale of the system)...
As healthcare data is projected to grow exponentially in the coming years, hospitals, healthcare facilities, and healthcare institutions must ensure patient data is stored safely to provide peace of mind for patients and meet regulatory compliance.

Should the RS422+ NAS from Synology be your next big tech purchase?

It has been three years since the initial announcement by Synology that they will bring both Linux and macOS support into Active Backup for Business. While Mac users had to wait until December of 2022 to get the initial invite-only beta access, Windows users on the other hand already enjoyed one of the most complete and versatile packages that Synology has to offer.

Synology Reveal a New CC400W Compact IP Camera for Surveillance Station
Synology has revealed a new, more compact entry, into its range of surveillance cameras, the CC400W. This less industrial alternative to the bulkier metallic PoE BC500 bullet and TC500 turret-style cameras that were launched earlier in 2023 is seemingly designed for more internal building and day to day use, though seemingly still IP67 weatherproof – so it’s not limiting itself much in terms of deployment. Sporting a similar 4MP and 30FPS recording maximum to the other two cameras, this camera has a slightly larger 125 degrees of view (vs 110 degrees of the other two high/ceiling placement cams) and is more desktop stylized. Additionally, it will definitely be a...
While the BeeDrive has been around since May of 2023, the new current Apple iPhone 15, has been out only for a few months. On top of that, the Pro version model is still a hard buy in some parts of the world.

A Guide to the Best 10GbE NAS Drives in 2023
Data continues to grow exponentially, with everyday devices generating substantial amounts of data. High-resolution photos, 4K Ultra HD HDR movies, and internet connections surpassing gigabit speeds have become the norm. This surge in data creation and transfer has highlighted the limitations of the traditional 1GbE (RJ45) LAN/WAN ports, often causing network bottlenecks. In the past year, client hardware like phones, laptops, TVs, and tablets have adapted to this challenge, increasingly incorporating advanced WiFi protocols such as WiFi 6 (802.11ax). Similarly, in the realm of Network Attached Storage (NAS), addressing bandwidth limitations has been a focus for several years, with one of...
A Guide to the Best Plex NAS Drives to Buy Right Now
In 2024, if you’re considering a Synology or QNAP NAS drive for setting up a Plex Media Server, it’s probably because you’re tired of subscribing to multiple online streaming services, OR you have a vast collection of physical discs at home that you’d like to enjoy conveniently on devices like Amazon FireTV, Roku Box, or a gaming console, without the hassle of discs. Isn’t that a reasonable desire? Remember the days when watching movies and series from your couch was straightforward? You had a collection of DVDs or Blu-rays, chose a disc, and watched. Sure, it was a bit more involved than services like Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, and Disney+, BUT you owned your media and decided what...
Back in June of 2023, Synology released a very interesting device, the first of its kind for the company, the BeeDrive.
While it was nothing that we hadn't seen before in the shape of USB-C DAS (direct attached storage) devices, the BeeDrive did come with a few tricks up its sleeve that the competition did not have. For more details, be sure to read the full article in the link above, but today we have a new milestone for the BeeDrive, the macOS support.

A Guide to the Best 5/6-Bay NAS Drives to Buy Right Now
In recent years, the appeal of 5-Bay and 6-Bay NAS systems has dramatically increased, particularly since 2023/2024. Previously, home and small-business users tended to opt for either modest 2/4 Bay systems or jump to the larger 8-Bay models when needing more storage capacity. The growing popularity of 5-Bay and 6-Bay models can be attributed to two key factors. Firstly, the advent of larger capacity drives, reaching up to 22TB and soon 24TB, enables even mid-sized NAS systems to surpass the 100TB storage threshold easily. Secondly, there’s a heightened awareness of data redundancy needs and skepticism about the reliability of single-drive safety in RAID 5 configurations, compared...
