Synology DiskStation DS1520+

Product Information

I have been working on a project with a friend who set up a repository in Gitlab but even though I was able to view all projects on it, I couldn’t really join the repository. The newer DS1522+ features a dual-core AMD Ryzen embedded R1600 that, although arriving with half the cores of the Celeron in the DS920+, has a higher CPU frequency and total achievable frequency in turbo/burst when needed. The missing “For you” from moments sorely missed – it was a great AI system for finding potential duplicate (or near duplicate) photos that just doesn’t work as well as the storage manager reports that only really find exact duplicate pictures. Here, I want to show you how to download and install it, and then how to use it from a Windows machine.

By that, I mean that the scale of the operations that you need the NAS to action (from simple file sharing and downloading, to more intensive multi-site backups, file streaming, databases and surveillance for example) will largely dictate which NAS will perform better for you. Note – Depending on when you are reading this, the availability of the DS1522+ or DS920+ will be different. I did some reading when I got my Synology (a DS918+), and I discovered that using a hot spare is maybe not such a good idea (I was planning to have one too.However, the extent to which you can use all these applications at any single time (both as multiple clients using the same software or multiple applications running in parallel on the same NAS system) is going to be better on the Synology DS1522+ in the grand scheme of things, thanks to that potential 32GB of memory available to scale up down the line. Having NVMe slots is a nice feature, but due to the LAN limitations of the DS1520+, they can only make a dramatic impact on some activities, and not user data transfers.

In the two years since then, it has continued to remain popular, has become much more affordable (a regular pop up in seasonal sales) and is pretty much the brand’s ‘go to’ prosumer and feature-rich solution for many. Also used as time machine backup for 3 Macs (in parallel with external hard disks for each Mac) and Cloud sync for data on iPhones and iPads. Or i could use a FritzBox 9590 with a SSD drive via USB as HomeCloud (but without the possibility to copy the Data on a second SSD). Ideal for data backup and organizing multimedia libraries, DS1520+ is a versatile and scalable option to create your own private cloud.If you're looking to build a high-end Plex media server that will last several years or need a productivity-focused NAS for an office, you will love what the DiskStation DS1520+ has to offer.

That said, users will be surprised to learn that this CPU also does not feature embedded graphics, so therefore the DS1522+ will be less CPU efficient at handling multimedia or VM deployment than the DS920+. I have two additional 2TB unopened Seagate Drives ready to go, so when this happens it's as close to a non-event as possible.Though, it is still a shame that we are still talking about 1Gbe on NAS systems from Synology in their 2020+ series. That said, both of these systems will provide great internal performance to small groups of users to a near-identical level and therefore unless you are going to push either of these devices to a higher-end or enterprise-level limit, you will have largely even performance regardless of which has you purchase. I presently have a SANS Digital 5-bay USB RAID in a RAID5 and a Promise Pegasus R6 6-bay Thunderbolt RAID in a RAID6.

Finally, for free advice about your setup, j ust leave a message in the comments below here at NASCompares.

It mainly addresses small office environments and enthusiast users with an increased budget for their home server. These drives will still be usable in their systems, but the user will be greeted by a warning message regarding compatibility.
