Luke 37049 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 @@FrostByte how does this compare to your model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5049 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 You can add another 4gb of memory to the 218+ for a max of 6 according to Synology (people say they have upgraded to 8gb). The 718+ though will take the expansion cabinet. I got a model with 4 bays, but wish I had spent a little more money and got one that will take the expansion cabinet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrostByte 5049 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) The only issue I have when transcoding is with high bitrate 4K to high bitrate 4K (like when burning in pgs subtitles, etc). Everything else (4K to 1080p, etc) transcodes no problem using vaapi. I prefer not to transcode though and everything direct plays if I use text based subtitles Edited January 13, 2020 by FrostByte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not used it yet for Emby, hence why I am here. Oh and it is real easy to do.! Edited January 19, 2020 by EssexBlues 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
