About this deal

I think the bit you didn’t really focus on when comparing two 18TB drives vs 5 smaller drives was you dropped from a RAID Mirror to a RAID Array. However, given a choice between losing a few days of data or paying 24/7 electricity for RAID… I’m prepared to accept the former. In most conventional computer use, the impact of this is generally relative to ‘you use it, fine, you switch it off, no hassle’. This is a community hub that serves as a place that I can answer your question, chew the fat, share new release information and even get corrections posted. Just an observation: on Synology page is written than Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC310 is compatible.

bays of storage is very good level of Day 1 storage and this is especially potent when you factor in that modern HDDs these days are hitting 18, 20 and 22TB.

I’ve been fortunate enough to be quite stable for many years; but unfortunately, this fall (2022), my kidneys quickly deteriorated. All this said, there is still the question of this CPU also very recently appearing in the RS2423+/RS2423RP+ NAS (released 2-3 weeks after the DS1823xs+). I know you since the days of my first NAS, a trusty old QNAP TS-269 Pro which is really a long time ago. Although the system is mostly metal (which can often result in a largely ambient noise generation in operation from the hum/vibration/spin of HDDs), the system is only a pinch noisier than small systems like the DS923+ and DS1621xs+. If your chosen NAS enclosure allows for more disks than you are currently using then less but bigger might also be a good option as it will allow you to grow the storage capacity over time.

Clearly, one of the big selling points for many users looking at the Synology DS1823xs+ is going to be that it is 10GbE ready, out of the box. If you have seriously important data don’t use a NAS use a SAN, lots of drives only generally gives a performance increase only for reading not writing, RAID on NAS devices usually has some restrictions based on implementation of the standards of the supplier vs on board raid provided by server manufacturers.It’s the little things, such as the handles of the packaging being Synology branded, the brown box appearing generic/multi-solution use but a closer look shows it is distinct to this model, the slight cloth feeling bag the device arrives in. 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. The ports and connections of the Synology DS1823xs+ NAS are quite good (with arguably the odd bit of glass ceiling for especially ambitious NAS users) with a decent degree of expandability and upgradability factored in. 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.
