The latter is used for adding external drive bay expansions, and an extra 16 bays and 108TB total is possible. The NAS CPU itself has no fan on the heatsink, but the DS1621+ has dual rear 92mm fans that provide decent airflow, and keep your drive array from getting too hot.

Thecus is not bad, Joe, but still lightyears behind Synology. The hardware will likely work though I’m not sure if the RAM is supported. The SSDs will only work as cache — you need Synology SSDs for storage. Reply Performance figures are obtained from testing conducted with the device fully populated with drives under a continuous recording setup. Actual system capabilities may vary based on configuration, drive performance, enabled features, and the presence of additional workloads. You will need two drives if you want to cache for both writing and reading -- so it's a good idea to get two. The actual performance may be lower than lab testing figure due to differences in server configuration, deployment, and the number of active operations.Both the DS1821+ and DS1621+ are excellent servers. They are essentially the same, except the former has two more built-in drive bays.

Synology reserves the right to replace memory modules with the same or higher frequency based on supplier's product life cycle status. Rest assured that the compatibility and stability have been strictly verified with the same benchmark to ensure identical performance. For my case, though, I used the first option for my DS1821+ and the third for my DS1621+ -- two ports are always better than one. But no matter which card you get, the installation is the same. Extra: Synology DS1621+ to DS1821+ in-place upgrade No worries. You can turn IPv6 off at the router. There’s no need for it locally. You can also do that on a Xfinity gateway for the LAN side (if it’s required for the WAN side), or on each device individually.

Also with the memory upgrade. Do you get the warning message that non-compatible memory is found in the system? What about memory test? Reply I’ve used this 1821+ since the review, TC. and it’s been quiet. But, that depends on your expectations, it’s not silent. Reply After that, you can install them via the slot on the server's underside. The process is easy and painless. All you need is a small Philip-head screwdriver. Synology DS1821+: SSD caching upgrade As I mentioned in the review of the DS1621+, in most cases, SSD caching upgrade is unnecessary and won't increase the server's general copy speeds.

the number of connections that can be maintained when the recommended number of hosted files was reached) Usable capacity for each volume will be lower than the maximum volume size and is dependent on the filesystem and the amount of system metadata stored.

The DS1621+ comes populated with 4GB of ECC DDR4 in one slot of two slots, and can support up to 32GB. Despite the higher price, it’s great to see the ECC RAM used for improved protection against data corruption. PCIe add-in cards, expansion units, and storage drives are sold separately. Refer to the compatibility list for compatible devices. If you want to use the SSDs as storage pool, you can use this script: https://github.com/007revad/Synology_M2_volume Reply It's even older than that -- Synology first announced it in 2020. But it's still going to be the latest Synology 8-bay NAS for homes and SMBs for a while -- Synology likely won't release its replacement this year.

By the way, you should only cache a hard drive volume. If you use SATA SSDs for storage, caching is unnecessary. On top of that, if you decide to cache, it's also a better idea to upgrade the server's network to 10Gbps -- more below -- or at least use its Link Aggregation feature to get a 2Gbps connection out of its two Gigabit ports.The figures are based on Synology internal testing. Each performance test is done individually. No other services or applications are processed at the same time. After the DSM re-install process, which took about 10 minutes, all of the settings, including the caching, of the DS1621+ were ported over to the DS1821+ with no issue. For performance testing, we installed four of Toshiba’s new air-filled 4TB MG08-D series of hard disks. These are aimed specifically at business users that are more focused on cost and reliability, and don’t need the massive capacities of helium-filled spinners. To test caching efficacy, we fitted two 480GB Kingston DC1000B enterprise-class M.2 NVMe SSDs and although neither these nor the Toshiba drives feature on Synology’s compatibility list, the DSM software allowed us to use them. The Dallas Semiconductor brand is no longer in use, but its products and technology continue to be a part of Maxim's portfolio.
