Description

The Synology DS920+ is a NAS for home use with a powerful Intel Celeron Quad-Core processor. This 4-core processor improves the indexing of photos and reduces the response times of databases. You can stream, open files, and move files very quickly. With 4GB RAM, you can do several things at the same time on the NAS. For example, you can stream an HD movie to your TV via Plex while you make a backup of your computer. Install up to 4 hard drives. The DS920+ also has 2 built-in M.2 SSD slots, unlike its predecessor the DS918+. Install 2 NVMe SSDs to create an SSD cache and make your NAS several times faster, for example. The 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports double your potential internet speed.

Top device with many possibilities

DSM operating system
Solid product
Synology packages / third party packages
noise level is what a the high side, adjustments needed

I bought this NAS as a replacement for a DS216+ and DS209. With 4 HDD slots, all hard disks can be accommodated and that saves another device in maintenance and power. In addition, of course, completely futureproof with the latest series from Synology.

installation is a breeze if you've done it before with a Synology NAS. It takes some time to transfer large amount of data to new HDD, but you can do other things in the meantime. The Synology Migration Assistant does the work for you. Then check / adjust the various settings and you're done.

I personally find the NAS a bit noisy. You can also read more complaints about this on the various forums. Solutions are available in the form of vibration-damping mats under the cabinet, securing the HDD brackets between Velcro (soft side, not the side with the hooks) in the frame and screwing the HDD into their brackets instead of the plastic clips that Synology supplies. After these adjustments, I find the sound production quite acceptable. Also considered ordering two Noctua NF-A9 FLX super quiet fans to replace the stock fans. That could possibly be one last adjustment.

The NAS comes standard with 4GB of memory and I bought another 4GB for the free slot so that my DS920+ now goes like a rocket with 8GB. I didn't install the M.2 NVMe SSD for setting up a cache because it probably won't give much speed gain for my use (file server, few programs running, no VMs or anything). And I can always do that later.

For the time being very happy with this Top NAS and can recommend it to anyone who is willing to pay for it. Please note to also put good NAS drives in it and not "regular" desktop PC drives.

I don't have to say anything about the service and delivery by Cool Blue, do I? Loved that they delivered by bike!!

Fast NAS with many possibilities and future proof

Fast
User friendly
CPU has 4 cores
Pricey

I have only positive experiences with Synology, I used my previous Synology nas for 9 years and sold it because of the purchase of the DS920+. Purchase may be pricey, but you will enjoy it for years to come. I do believe that it is better to choose the Plus series so that they continue to offer sufficient performance in the future, you can also place extra internal system memory, the Plus series has more options compared to the entry-level J-series, if you only want filesharing want to do and not make too many demands, then the J-series is fine.

good file server

faster than its predecessor (DS415+)
Predecessor broke down, after transferring the drives, the new one immediately recognized the drives and asked if it was a migration, then took over all settings and users

does what it's supposed to do
