Synology DS1621+ NAS Server

Product Information

Memory starts at 4GB of server-grade ECC memory, which can be easily upgraded to 32GB since the two SO-DIMM slots are located behind a removable hatch in the base. If you're using the DS1621+ and want to upgrade to the DS1821+ to take advantage of the two extra drive bays, the process is the same as when you migrate from one Synology server to another. In other words, if you're looking for the best 10Gbps NAS for the home (or small office), you're at the right place.

You can use general non-NAS SSDs, but they might have less-than-desirable endurance ratings for the task. I want the bays, the power supplies, the Ethernet, just not btrfs + homebrew software to control it. Noise Level Testing Environment: Fully loaded with Seagate 2TB ST2000VN000 hard drive(s) in the idle state. Stepping up as the direct replacement to Synology’s six-bay DS1618+ desktop NAS appliance, the DS1621+ offers a number of interesting improvements over its predecessor.

Port permutations haven’t changed: you still get quads of Gigabit and USB 3 ports, while the dual eSATA ports team up with Synology’s DX517 five-bay expansion units to push the drive count to 16.

When we installed the same Emulex dual-port 10GbE adapter we’d used to test the DS1618+, the DS1621+ hung during the boot phase and would only accept a dual-port Intel X520 10GbE adapter. Extend the standard 3-year hardware warranty of your DS1621+ with 2 more years of Synology-certified support and premium services that help you recover faster in the event of disaster.The testing standard was based on the maximum number of concurrent connections supported by this model. On the other hand, getting the hardware upgrades in RAM and 10Gbps connectivity is recommended no matter which server you end up getting. But for those businesses who are looking at upgrading from a less-capable NAS, or getting a NAS for the first time, the DS1621+ is worth investigating. Power consumption is measured when it is fully loaded with Western Digital 1TB WD10EFRX hard drive(s).

Synology DS1821+ vs DS1621+: Here are my servers upgraded to 10Gbps using two different dual PCIe cards. The Dallas Semiconductor brand is no longer in use, but its products and technology continue to be a part of Maxim's portfolio. A range of NAS-hosted productivity apps are included as part of the DSM OS, including Synology Drive, Calendar, Office and more, which is comparable to your own privately hosted array of collaborative Google Docs products.

In this case, you can use it to add 10Gbps connectivity to the servers -- another must if you're into Multi-Gig. The transfer process guaranteed that the connections were not interrupted; the minimum transfer speed was not guaranteed. The powerful little Ryzen CPU is great at running multiple resource hungry apps, such as virtual machines or a large surveillance camera setup. Now it gives me an address, and a gateway, but the gateway is not reachable and the default route –if accepted– isn’t either.
