The Synology DS1823xs+ is a Little More Expensie Than it Should Be, especially versus the DS3622xs+ Synology Chat – Aimed at businesses, Synology Chat is an IM service that transforms the way users collaborate and communicate. Although you are most likely well aware of this, the Synology DS1823xs+ NAS is quite a chunky desktop NAS. This is because it is designed to be a day 1 and day 3000 storage workhorse! These are the initial eight SATA bays of storage that can be fully/partially populated when setting up the NAS.

That said (sorry to go all negative again…but); you cannot install either of the Synology M.2 NVMe Upgrade cards (M2D20 and E10G20-T1 Combo card). Now, on the face of it, you might be wondering why that’s a big deal? The DS1823xs+ already has two m.2 NVMe SSD bays. However, it would be nice to be able to add more, either for caching or storage pools. It seems such a conscious choice by the brand to eliminate these cards to be used in this system and one that I think (as use of M.2s for storage in the Synology platform grows) is going to be annoyingly limiting. Again, this is a minor gripe and one that will affect a very small % of users, but something worth toughing on, Synology ประสิทธิภาพการทำงานจริงอาจแตกต่างกันไปตามสภาพแวดล้อมการทดสอบ การใช้งาน และการกำหนดค่า สำหรับข้อมูลเพิ่มเติม โปรดดูที่ แผงภูมิแสดงข้อมูลสมรรถนะPerformance figures are obtained from testing conducted with the device fully populated with drives under a continuous recording setup. Actual system capabilities may vary based on configuration, drive performance, enabled features, and the presence of additional workloads. The DS1823xs+ boasts a whopping 3,100/2,600 MB/s sequential read/write performance, making it ideal for video editors who need fast 10GbE speeds to work on their projects. With 144TB of raw storage capacity and the option to add SSD cache for even faster I/O speeds, the DS1823xs+ is a powerful and flexible storage solution. 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. DSM 7 is an ever-evolving platform, so if you are reading this now at the time of publishing or years later, there is always going to be something in DSM for everyone. Note – 10GbE Performance Tests, VM Tests, Surveillance tests and More are currently being conducted over on the NASCompares YouTube Channel and should be live in the next week or so. You can find the Synology DS1823xs+ hardware and DSM review HERE in the meantime.

More means higher throughput can be achieved and higher levels of redundancy can be gained making the setup more resilient when it comes to disk failure. Nothing is perfect, right? For all of the positives that I have highlighted above, the DS1823xs+ is still not a perfect Synology NAS solution. Here are five reasons why you might want to give the Synology DS1823xs+ NAS drive a miss, opt for an alternative brand or go for a lower-priced predecessor. #1 – HDD and SSD Compatibility on the Synolgoy DS1823xs+ is OddBut more drives also means more power-use as you already indicated and also more heat. (more cooling might be needed)

Word of advice: buy as many drives as can fit in your NAS as down the line by the time you want to buy additional drives, the manufacturer may have moved-on to newer models.. Ultimately, you if you are considering the DS1823xs+ NAS for Synology NAS – it is an absolute no-brainer!

The performance you need

Synology Surveillance Station – Safeguard your business, home, and other valuable assets with reliable video surveillance tools. With improved AI services being accessible thanks to Synology BC500 and TC500 Cameras arriving in 2023. Additionally, you can connect this platform with Synology’s cloud platform to use ‘C2 Surveillance’ and bolster the odds of recordings being maintained in the event of accidental/malicious damage to your surveillance system. applies to files indexed or hosted by Synology Drive. For file access through other standard protocols, refer to the File Services section above) So, let’s immediately get to that 10G port. Arriving as a single, onboard port (no card mounted) and in copper 10GBASE-T, this is going to somewhat answer criticism by many for Synology not adopting 2.5GbE in the last/current generation a tad. That said, with the DS1823xs+ having more of a larger scale business/enterprise user in mind, this is the tie that would immediately jump from 1GbE to 10GbE as needs dictate anyway. The eight bays of storage here, even in more complete RAID configs and Clustered RAID’s will comfortably saturate 1,000MB/s (even with domestic class HDDs) and as good as it is to see an x86 8-Bay from Synology finally roll out with 10GbE, it is perhaps also worth wondering why only 1? Perhaps a CPU/Chipset limitation, perhaps because saturating 20GbE (10G x2) is less of a universal sure thing. But once you factor in possible SATA SSDs in those 8 slots, M.2 NVMe SSD Storage pools and the expandability of storage, 10GbE is going to soon be oversaturated! Functions that were enabled in all of the tests above: anti-spam, anti-virus, DNSBL, greylist, content scan, full-text search (English only). As for the MTU, when you do change it for 10GBe networks, always remember you will need to not only change it on both ends but also in-between, if applicable. E.g. when using switches, routers or load-balancers in-between.
