Following what I thought was a system failure on my Synology (very old DS412+), I was in a real bind for a couple of weeks. I was torn between replacing it with a DS920+ or waiting on the pending release of the much vaunted DS1522+. The agony! Related The Synology DS723+ NAS Expandable 2-Bay Revealed UPDATE 11/01/23 –The Synology DS723+ NAS Drive has now been RELEASED! You can find our reveal and before you buy guide below: Thank you for these benchmark videos. You’re really helping to prevent unhappy customers. If I get this one from your company, at least I know what the capabilities are and won’t be surprised or disappointed down the line. It also gives me more confidence in stepping up to a higher model without worrying that I’m wasting money. Unlike previous models where one of the memory modules were soldered onto the mainboard, the DS723+ allows for all modules to be upgraded. The unit can be upgraded to a whopping 32GB of memory if you ever had the need to and allows for a great degree of expandability in terms of running applications on the NAS.

I did prepared 32 gb ddr4 Kingston (2×16 Gb), with 2 x 1Tb Samsung 980, for pool storage, 4 x 8 TB Seagate and 1 x 16 Tb Toshiba. The actual performance may be lower than lab testing figure due to differences in server configuration, deployment, and the number of active operations. With the Synology DS723+’s NVMe drives and 10Gbe Ethernet capabilities, you can host more demanding applications directly on the NVMe drives. If you wer into image/video editing, I’d highly recommend using the NVMe storage volumes for this as you’ll see a significant improvement to your read/write performance compared to the standard drives. Actual maximum storage pool and volume sizes depend on drive sizes used, the number of drive bays available, and the RAID configuration.Hybrid cloud capabilities provided by Synology Hybrid Share allow users to merge the benefits of on-premises and cloud by storing cold data in the cloud while keeping frequently accessed files cached on the local device for access at LAN speeds. Synology’s managers are smoking the wrong pot, from an Stellar loved brand NAS, it becomes disgusting and a problem for those that rely on legacy Synology units, not few people are delaying to upgrade until Synology stepdown all those idiotic “premium” policies, theyre wrong from the moment they think they where the Apple of Nas Appliances. Please select Synology memory modules for optimum compatibility and reliability. Synology will not provide complete product warranty or technical support if non-Synology memory modules are used for memory expansion.

Strictly Synology-approved SSDs: the Synology SNV3410 (presently available in 400GB and 800GB) is the only supported drive.I'd recommend maxing out its RAM and getting a 10GbE E10G22-T1-Mini module. The NVMe storage is always a bonus though that's not a must unless you intend to run virtual machines, such as a Windows server, within it.
