Hoping someone has news on the rumored DS1823+.

I’ve been looking at the DS1821+ but would rather hold off if a refresh is right around the corner.

Lastly, I don’t want to be locking into using Synology drives with the DS1823xs+.

    Haha no, I really over did it. Figured it was better to have more then less and even ecc ram is fairly cheap so why not. I eventually wanted to see if it was possible to create a ram disk to run Plex in but I run it and some other *arr programs off the m.2 drives and they are really snappy.

    I’m sure you read the same reddit thread I did saying that the xs series only accept Synology drives which is totally incorrect. That being said it will throw up the warning about not using Synology drives or ram but everything works as normal. If the warnings bother you you can run the script from here https://github.com/007revad/Synology_HDD_db And the warnings will go away.

      Haha that’s awesome. Might be fun to set it up so that shows I haven’t watched get stored on a ram drive or the m.2 and then transferred over or something.

      I’m actually not the OP, but that’s interesting about the synology. I have an older 918+ that’s still running really well for me. Running plex, home automation, and as a Time Machine backup with no issues. They’re great little devices.
