DESTINYLORD 0 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I was thinking about buying a NAS for home I can't decide between SYNOLOGY DS220J (215 euro) or SYNOLOGY DISKSTATION DS218 (329 euro) do you have a recommendation? My internet connection is ass, so most probably I would only watch things from home in direct play. I think I will get a 10TB drive an later upgrade it for 2x10TB. The NAS would run qbit sonarr radarr and emby. Do you think the extra memory worth the price difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution BaukeZwart 94 Posted April 28, 2021 Solution Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) I would recommend getting the DS218+, or the newer DS220+ Both the 218+ and 220+ have an Intel processor making it possible to run Docker applications.

DESTINYLORD 0 Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 Thanks, that make sense, but I tried to deal with docker 2 times and I just couldn't I know it is supposed to be easy etc. but it isn't for me. Also I don't want to learn with my main pc At now I ordered a cheap micro pc. I will try to make something out of it with docker and nginx proxy manager before spending 700 euro on something I can't setup yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaukeZwart 94 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 For some apps like Bazarr there is no package for Synology yet, so if you want to run that Docker is your only option. I received my DS920+ today, coming from a DS216Play, so the Docker learning curve will start soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DESTINYLORD 0 Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 DS920+ sounds good. At the moment I am still thinking about going on the easy way. I rly only use radarr and sonarr I might be using the nas for everything except emby and keep the mini pc for emby and retro games. As I only watch stuff when I am at home because of my poo ISP. (this is the best possible connection in my area until 2023) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaukeZwart 94 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Don't be afraid of using Docker, i had about 8 apps, including Emby, Sonarr and Radarr in no time. Not finished withbthe setup but everything is running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
