bretswinney 20 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Getting a new Synology DS1821+ to house my media and thoughts if I should run server on Mac Studio or move to run server on the NAS with all the media. Any thoughts or opinions are welcome! Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37248 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 @FrostByte I'm sure will have great things to say about his Synology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5060 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Same model I have. I'm running server on my DS1821+ and am very happy with it, but I also don't do any transcoding which will be the most important thing to consider if you are considering combining media and server. It can transcode 1080p, but you may find 4K to be a little too much for it because it doesn't have the gpu for hardware assisted transcoding like some of the other models. I also added extra memory, though it was right away so I'm not sure how much it helped. Thing seems to be fast enough for my needs The nice thing about having my media with the server is that I only need one box up at all times vs two when they are separate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
