I had a two bay Synology and needed something that could hold more drives. 6TB is the sweet spot price wise on drives for me. I used my old desktop parts to build an unRAID server and have been really happy with it.
@Jonteponte71
Hyperbackup can be used to backup to several different destinations. Including an external drive, connected to the NAS itself. So no need for a second NAS, unless you want to have an exact replica of ALL your data on the other NAS of course.

Synology has been great for me. I have had my Rackstation RC18015xs+ for 6 years with zero problems The specs said I had to have 2 control units but you don't. I have one plus one storage unit with 12 10TB SAS drives. Run it in RAID6 so have 94TB available. One drive failure (HGST drives) in 6 years. It has a Xeon E3-1230 v3 4 core, 8 thread, 3.3 Ghz CPU. 32GB of ECC RAM 4x1GBe and 1 10GBe netork port. Cheap? No. All of the above was about $12,000 at the time but fast and rock solid reliable. Runs the latest DSM 7.1.
@jason-budney7624
While not foe me, I'm cheap, and I have no server rack. It's a great idea from Synology, hopefully these catch on and Synology can at least spec and price these closer to their normal NAS offerings.

@InmortalMe
Yes sir! Hypothetical business build!
@michaeljolley6773
The E-Sata port is for the Synology Expansion pack. Also, FYI especially if you have some older TV's/phones it is TERRIBLE at transcoding on the Ryzen processors as they don't support it. The Intel processors have the transcoding capabilities and is amazing for use with Plex/video transcoding.
@thetinkeringtypist
There's also Synology's Active Backup for Business app. It can be used at home (for free) to backup the computers on your network. It is both convenient and easy to use.
@DavidBlankenship
Thanks!
@Dieto666
yes please, make a video about hypothetical business solution on the rs822+

@CaseyJMoore
Wanted one of these for a loong time, but so much money for what you get.
@xyvyx
I love my Synology, but this 822+ model has a very narrow audience for those that need an "all-in-one edge storage solution" (their words) The most dense/cost-effective would probably be 4x 18TB drives giving you 54TB usable w/ SHR. Not bad at all really. Also, given the corporate target audience a) they'd probably not flinch at the cost and b) they'd probably want to spring for the RP flavor, which has redundant power supplies for $300 more. That said, this thing is about the same price as their DS1821+, which DOES have a pair of nvme slots, twice the drive bays, twice the RAM and twice the expandability. Only catch is that it's 6.5" tall and would take up 4U on a rack shelf.
@isaacbrice124
While I did enjoy your review of the Synology RS822. The lack of usable RAM is a key point of contention for me, especially given the price point. I also just wanted to say I really appreciated the Fort Minor reference. 🤣
@michaelguittar8127
I’d love to see the video about utilizing it for business with the email, chat, and other features. I’m starting one myself right now!

This Synology device is 'OK' at many things, but great at nothing. The only thing going for it is the 'easy software'. Unfortunately, 98% of the time, 'easy software' means there is a lack of extensive features and configuration conveniences. Another concern is that Synology didn't provide multigig ethernet ports. Even for home-use, 2.5Gbps should be included at the most basic level of hardware. Multigig up to and including 10Gbps would only add a few more bucks to the device. The fact that only 1 2G RAM stick is included speaks volumes about their offerings. Synology is unfortunately known for 'cheap' hardware that just barely gets the job done and that fact is highlighted on this product. For those reasons, I have never, nor would ever, consider their products for my needs. With that said, your video was worth the watch, thanks, you sexy beast! :P
@pieteryts
the biggest advantage of off the shelf NAS are how quick to set it up and running. all has been prepared for users ease of use. compared to selfbuild or nerdier appliance using TrueNAS (45Drives for example can be configured using unRAID or TrueNAS), it need more time to setup. but yesss it serve more features and settings compared to off the shelf NAS and cheaper in most cases. As far as reliability, my company Thecus NAS N12000 nas been running more than 10 years only to suffer from siezed CPU fan. a drop of oil solve it. it even support 10Gb module if needed. Yesterday, Synology has held an events in my local, and I'm quite amazed how NAS has transformed from just a filesharing to a more complete services by now. it can even run license plate, or facial recognizion on CCTV stream. If you factor it all in, the quick to setup, ease of use, plenty of supports, ability to do a lot of things and high reliability, the cost are actually not that high anymore. anyway, going for aligator! rawrrrr... want to choose trex, but not available yet in local zoo. lol Great video man. Cheers,
@doalwa
Thinking about getting one of these. Shipping expensive hardware with mediocre specs but with top notch software seems to be Synologys thing. But I have to deal with IT problems all day at work, something that just works is really appreciated. There’s a time for screwing around with FreeBSD and ZFS…but looking at my 6 month old daughter, this time is not now 😂
