Synology High Availability – Synology High Availability (SHA) combines two Synology NAS servers into one active-passive high-availability cluster, alleviating service disruptions while mirroring data. A RAID 5 or 6 (from my understanding, the major differences are the amount or drives that can fail at once). If my understanding is correct, then the cinfig will be RAID 6. As a better, more secure solution.

Connects to Windows® AD/LDAP servers, allowing domain users to log in via SMB/NFS/AFP/FTP/File Station protocols using their existing credentials The one and only thing I don’t like about Synology multimedia apps or drive apps…. Is they TELL you where to put your media AND GENERALLY HAVE TWO-WAY SINK AS DEFAULTH.264, HEVC, H.265: The compression techniques H.264, HEVC, and H.265 are used to make large media presentations suitable for viewing on home devices. While H.264 is widely supported by all devices, not all have permission or a license to play H.265/HEVC, as the licensing and patents for H.265/HEVC are complex, expensive, and spread across multiple providers. This can lead to the need for automatic conversion/transcoding of H.265/HEVC media into H.264, which consumes more system resources. The Synology NAS drive, like the rest of the Synology NAS range, does not come with HEVC support by default. Passive airflow is definitely a big focus on the design of this chassis, with almost every side of the case featuring ventilation of one sort of around, with the Synology logo being vented. As this system will be in operation 24×7, it is heavily reliant on the rear fans to push air effectively through the system and over the assortment of internal heatsinks as effectively as possible and this chassis does that very well indeed. The Diskstation series at the 2/4 Bay level has always done a great job of melding modern design with necessary system temperature management and the DS423+ is no exception. #5 – Supports the Whole DSM 7 Catalogue of Applications and runs them well on 2GB Memory We can see that forcing transcode is at about the same CPU utilization as with three 4K streams, 20-30%. Now, Synology does not allow upgrading that memory beyond 6GB in this configuration (Intel Max limit on this CPU is 8GB), stating that using the system in an unsupported fashion can lead to weakened/invalidated support by the brand when you need it (as you are using the device in a configuration they did not verify and/or cannot replicate). This also includes using 3rd party memory, instead of their own branded modules I can partially see their point – they want to run a smooth, reliable and stable platform. Just a shame that Synology Memory modules are a noticeable degree more expensive than alternatives from Crucial and Kingston. Next we need to discuss the CPU inside the DS423+ NAS – something of a hot point for some. The Synology DS423+ NAS boasts several attractive features that make it a popular choice for those in need of a high-performing network storage solution. One of its major pros is its Nvme storage pool support, which allows for faster storage pool access and management, not just caching. Moreover, its Intel® Celeron® J4125 CPU, benchmarked just like the highly popular DS920+, includes a built-in graphics transcoding engine, which can handle several simultaneous 4K video streams with ease.

Bitrate:Bitrate refers to the quantity of data that is processed per unit of time, typically expressed in megabits per second (Mbps) for video and kilobits per second (kbps) for audio. The higher the bitrate, the better the quality and resolution of the media tends to be. Powered by the versatile Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) operating system, DS423+ offers comprehensive solutions that can protect and manage business data, facilitate collaboration on documents, provide remote file access, and serve as the hub for an IP camera-based surveillance system, all within a compact desktop format. An example of a mixed transfer of about 57GB of data, took just under 10 min total to complete while having a mostly sustained transfer rate of 100MB/s. About 57GB of data in about 10 min time via a simple SMB protocol Passive airflow is definitely a big focus on the design of this chassis, with almost every side of the case featuring ventilation of one sort of around, with the Synology logo being vented.
