You made a good viedo with a lot of good opinions. However I just bought DS224+ today, I considered DS423+, but I need to pay a lot more for something I don't need now, but not certain if I will get upgrade in the future. I stick with the simple, cos I mainly use my NAS for backing up photos and sometimes playing viedos. 8GB hard disk with raid1 will do fine for me. I say DS224+ is relatively good value, in term of being a newer 2bays model and its 4 cores performances.

It does kinda feel the 224+ is just there to upsell you on the 723+ but they have their uses. It's also insane how good DSM is that they can get away with lagging behind so much on hardware.

I’ve been watching your videos lately with interest as they so helpful. At the moment I’m using a Syqnology 413j, which i’ve had since 2013. It’s showing its age it’s so slow, so I’ve decided to upgrade. I use it at home for back up for myself and my wife. I also use it over internet when not at home, sometimes I stream the odd film, but it’s mainly used for backup. Would you recommend I buy a Synology 224+ or a Synology 720+.

You stream, so buy the 224+. The 723+ can stream but is limited to Direct Play, I wouldn't want to buy a 723+ to find out that I need to transcode to watch anything.

You and every other home office/small business user are disappointed with Synology's lackluster hardware releases for the last two years. The hardware from Synology is lagging behind pretty much everyone. I'm currently on a DS718, and was hoping to upgrade to a DS72x or DS92x of some sort, but don't see enough of an improvement in the current hardware offerings to justify the move.

What a great channel! So happy I ran across it. I have no experiences with NAS so I’m hoping someone will help me break through the clutter and provide some feedback based on my usage. I deal with audio and am currently running around 4TB on an external HD that I’d like to transition to a NAS. Why? I have to keep my laptop and software (JRiver Media Canter) on constantly to access the drive from my phone. I’d like to add a NAS and let it stay running 24/7 so that I can always access my audio files as a DNLA setup. I’m thinking the 224+ should be more than effective for this application - can anyone comment or advise?

Very nice video. Still contemplating on the 423+ or the 723+. I like both. I won't be running Plex, but I do run my content off of Apple TV, Zidoo, Kodi and Dune Solo. Would the 723+ do well for this. Plus a good 98% of my content is 1080p. Any suggestions?

I have a ds214+. It is end of life. I have had 2 synology NAS ( probably 10 years now). Been watching your videos related to Synology vs Qnap. Also this video to determine which way to go. For me even though I am an "IT" professional, I would probably prefer the stability and more straight forward approach of Synology. Qnap wins on hardware out of the box when comparing ds224+ with TS-262. But if you look at the comparison of the DS224+ with DS723+ the DS723+ can be upgraded to faster network speed and SSD if required. Thanks for the reviews. This really helps my decision.

QNAP's poor software outweighs the hardware bump. Most Synology owners keep their boxes for years. The DS723+ is for offices with multiple computers hooked up, DS224+ is for home users wanting to stream videos.

I'm more asking the question ds224+ vs qnap ts-264 (i think). But the two celorons. one from synology that might be nerfed and the qnap one. I wonder which is better for the home user using it for plex, and largely file storage. possibly to stream music to a phone (like my own private spotify)

What deeply annoys me is that the one with the Celeron (the one that you would use for a Plex server) doesnt have an expansion port. I want a NAS that can hold 2 or 4 HDDs to make a raid backuped Plex server for my movies. A m2 would be nice so i can make backups of my unreal engine projects that are not on my main PC, while the option for a raid backup that holds different versions would be great. Here comes the next problem with Synology.... the DS423+ would be perfect, but why would you get a 1Gbe NAS if you spend so much on a special Synology m2 if you cant even reach the m2 read/write transfer speed in your local LAN? The 2gb ram that you can upgrade to 6gb is also a joke for 500€ if you want to have the option to sometimes host something like a Valheim or Minecraft server for you and your 2-3 friends. It's so frustrating that i have to wait 1-2 years for the next generation to MAYBE get a Synology NAS where i can transfer my data with 2.5 Gbe to the NAS m2. I feel like Synology is the Nvidia of NAS. 8GB of Vram 500€ GPU anyone? No... it's the max 6GB 1Gbe NAS

That's the issue of NAS. No clear winner & it makes it hard of us consumer. Synology is great with the software. But the hardware is crap. I want to jump to Asustor but the software & support are weak..

In respect of the DS224+ my advice is go for a DS720+, DS423+ , DS920+ or a DS1520+. Speaking av the DS723+, The DS923+ and the 1522+ are better alternatives. The DS224+ and 723+ cannot compare because they have different processors.
