Synology 2-Bay DiskStation DS723+ (Diskless)

Product Information

And something you’ll certainly notice when you get your own DS723+ is the fact that the green LED lights are so much brighter. The DS723+ NAS model is recommended for both at home use and for the office, anywhere you need plenty of storage space really. Now, the DS7xx+ series has always arrived with a Quad Core Intel Celeron (or Pentium) processor in the past and when it was revealed that the DS723+ was arriving with a dual-core embedded ryzen, many users were a little unhappy.

The new AMD Ryzen R1600 CPU with AVX support processor boosts photo indexing, database response times, and web PHP response efficiency. Although the AMD Ryzen dual core Ryzen CPU is going to be a sticking point for those who wish a quad-core and/or integrated graphics CPU had been used (eg video conversions server side in Plex and the like) – the capabilities of the DS723+ NAS in it’s traditional performance, handling and throughput are better than they have ever been on ANY other Synology 2-Bay before.With improved AI services being accessible thanks to Synology BC500 and TC500 Cameras arriving in 2023. NVMe SSD storage pools, making the DS723+ NAS just the 2nd every Synology NAS to support this function (alongside SSD cache support of course) – though odd decisions on Gen 3×4>3×1 handling are still a touch puzzling. I am not going to use Plex ever, It will be mostly used for personal cloud and Synology Photos for local management of my family’s photos’ and videos. However, there is no avoiding that this is not going to be a system that suits everyone and although I waxed lyrical and was largely positive about its features in my Synology DS723+ NAS Review, there are definitely going to be some elements of the DS723+ NAS that will convince you to opt for a different solution. With the ease with which a user can add a USB tier to their 3-2-1 backup strategy (allowing them to be a little more financially creative with a network/remote/cloud backup tier as well), the slightly old skool single USB port here is a little underwhelming.

I don’t know why you had to sugar coat it with trying to think up cases where the 1522+ would be “good” for Plex – in the real world, you’re going to have to spend an inordinate amount of time checking your media formats to make it work when you just want to watch a movie on your NAS. Because it also achieves a top value with almost 79MB/s when writing backup and UHD movie at the same time. I have the NAS in the basement with a nice 65 degrees F (18C for you non-US bunch) so I keep the fans on quite mode and the drives are running at 82F/28C all the time.

If you ever need to stream outside your own network when traveling, or sharing with friends, or with client hardware that doesn’t support some of your media files, then the 1522+ is functionally useless for you and will be a giant headache to manage. Synology Drive – Host your own private cloud behind the safety of your NAS with 100% data ownership and no subscription fees. NVMe SSD Storage Pool support, as (see gif below) at the time of writing, you can only use Synology’s own first-party M. Of course you have to painstakenly remove the entire case cover from the Asustor to get to them whereas the Synology makes it a lot easier to get to them. The Synology DS723+ NAS arrives with an upgrade slot on the rear of the chassis (PCIe Gen 3 x2) that allows the installation of a 10GbE (10GBASE-T) network upgrade module that allows the system to upgrade towards a 1,000MB/s network connection!

My dude, another spot on video – can guarantee you have helped more than one person make an informed decision. Another request for Ram memory, I watched your tests for ds923+, please tell me if the ds723+ will suit the best performance, I need two 16gb.So the server no longer needs to perform the transcoding (unless I’m on my iPhone/iPad, which requires transcoding, and it isn’t pretty)! Was waiting for this device to come out so that I can get it but I am disappointed of the limitations no 2. For comparison: With the 8GB file, the data rate drops to 175MB/s in writing and a good 166MB in reading.
