About this deal
As mentioned earlier, the bulk of the DS1823xs+ space is occupied by those eight SATA storage bays and everything else is cleverly wrapped around it, maintaining a surprisingly compact chassis) in all three dimensions in fact). The rear fans, although among the largest in the Synology diskstation portfolio, are still relatively low noise (for the scale! I think the mistake people make with NAS and especially raid5/6 is they think its a backup and its not. Likewise, if you compare the AMD embedded Ryzen V1780B in the DS1823xs+ against the DS1621xs+’ Intel Xeon D1527, the AMD comes out much better overall. You cannot really fault the software and services that are included with the Synology DS1823xs+ NAS, as you are going to get the very best experience available on the platform, thanks to the hardware and architecture of this NAS.
I can live with the shift to only supporting their own HDD and even SATA only, but how many older Synology NAS owners that want a seamless migration to a new NAS is Synology alienating with this move? You’re plugging a USB hub with all your USB drives the nas makes its own virtual pool out of those drives and then it backs up just in case there’s nobody has a single 60 terabyte drive …. This very handy feature existed in DS Photo and I have not been able to find something equivalent in DSM 7. Even just adding a small nvme mirrored cache device can turn a large disk pool into a virtualization and game storage powerhouse. The first thing is that internally, the 2x PCIe Gen 3×4 slots in the DS1823xs+ appear to have been throttled down to PCIe Gen 3×1.Choosing the right data storage solution for your needs can be very intimidating and its never too late to ask for help. If someone like you, who can give the same enthusiasm creating two videos deep-diving two NASs that only differ by a drive bay, puts that into a spin-off series on a topic that is close to a large chunk of your demographic, that would be a real treat. Most channels that review media server software, either only deep-dive their preferred offering, or only give an overview compression of the field.

So a 4 or 6TB drive, depending on how full the prior drive was may take 3-8 hours depending on the speed of your system / controller.
