Review on NAS SYNOLOGY DS923 without HDD by Stanislaw Rogulski ᠌

Has some pros: • Finally, the ability to put a 10GbE adapter (E10G22-T1-Mini on Ali). • For the first time, two M.2 slots in a 4-bay model that allow you to power up a 10GbE mesh. • Powerful processor, easily takes out two dozen docker containers. • Synology DSM is still a masterpiece of OS for NAS. Has some cons: • AMD Ryzen R1600 does not have graphics cores and does not support hardware decoding. Don't count on 4K HDR decoding in Plex or Jellyfin on this model. An older model DS920+ may be preferable in this case. • Synology forbids creating datastores on M.2 SSDs from other manufacturers, which is very strange of them. The procedure is possible in manual mode through the console, but for an ordinary user this may be an overwhelming task. Accordingly, without dancing with a tambourine, M.2 will only be used as a read / write cache (write only if there are two ssds).
