Synology DS1823xs+ 8 Bay NAS Desktop: High-Performance Storage Solution

Product Information

Supports up to 75 IP cameras on a single Synology server with Synology Surveillance Station. Up to 10,000 cameras can be managed per deployment by adding together recording servers with Surveillance Station CMS. Surveillance Station includes 2 free licenses. Connecting more cameras and devices requires additional licenses. Learn more.

Instead, the DS1823xs+ requires users to configure their drives manually, which can be time-consuming and potentially challenging for users without technical expertise.The DS1823xs+ also features a PCIe 3.0 slot, which allows for the installation of a 10GbE network interface card (NIC) or an M.2 NVMe SSD adapter card for even faster storage performance. This can be particularly useful for video editors who need to work with large video files and require high-speed access to their data. But more drives also means more power-use as you already indicated and also more heat. (more cooling might be needed) Performance figures obtained through internal testing by Synology. Actual performance may vary depending on the testing environment, usage, and configuration. See performance charts for more information.

Another critical factor is the interface and controller used by the NVMe. The Synology NVMe M.2 and the WD Red SN700 use PCIe Gen3 x4, while the Seagate FireCuda 520 and Seagate FireCuda 530 SSD use PCIe Gen4 x4. The NVMe controller also varies, with the Synology NVMe M.2 using NVMe 1.3, while the other three models use NVMe 1.4 or 1.3.THEN you have the two SATA expansion slots on the rear that allow you to attach two eSATA expansion JBODs (the Synology DX517) at 5x extra Bays each. This added storage can be used to expand the original storage pool so you can add more storage space to your existing shares/paths (not recommended to spread a pool over two devices) or add it as an additional storage pool for all those extra volumes. The ports and connections of the Synology DS1823xs+ NAS are quite good (with arguably the odd bit of glass ceiling for especially ambitious NAS users) with a decent degree of expandability and upgradability factored in. Let’s discuss the internal hardware on offer here. Yes, the DS1823xs+ is a good choice for virtualization due to its powerful AMD Ryzen V1780B processor and 8 GB DDR4 ECC SODIMM RAM (expandable up to 32 GB). It also has two M.2 NVMe SSD slots for caching and fast data access, and a PCIe expansion slot for adding additional networking or storage options. Additionally, it supports virtualization technologies such as VMware, Citrix, and Windows Server Hyper-V, making it a versatile and capable NAS for virtualization environments. Other notable features of the DS1823xs+ include two 1GbE LAN ports, one 10GbE LAN port, two eSATA expansion ports, and two M.2 NVMe drive slots that can be used for cache or storage. It also has one USB 3.2 Gen 1 port and one PCIe Gen3 x8 slot (x4 link) for expansion. The rear of the DS1823xs+ also has the connector for that internal 250W PSU mentioned earlier. This PSU has its own mini fan (that I am slightly surprised is not directly funnelled into a vent – but then I am by no means an expert here) and as it’s an internal PSU, means that any kind of replacement (as PSUs are the 2nd most fragile part of any NAS after the storage media itself) is going be mean getting your screwdriver out!

The speed of the NVMe is also an essential consideration. The Seagate FireCuda 530 SSD has the highest read and write speeds of up to 7,300MB/s and 6,900MB/s, respectively, while the Synology NVMe M.2 has the lowest read and write speeds of up to 3,000MB/s and 750MB/s, respectively. Additionally, the Seagate FireCuda 530 SSD has the highest read and write IOPS of up to 1,000,000 and 1,000,000, respectively, while the Synology NVMe M.2 has the lowest IOPS of up to 225,000 and 45,000, respectively.IP สูงสุด 75 ตัวบนเซิร์ฟเวอร์ Synology เพียงเครื่องเดียวด้วย Synology Surveillance Station สามารถจัดการกล้องได้สูงสุด 10,000 ตัวต่อการปรับใช้งานโดยการรวมเซิร์ฟเวอร์การบันทึกเข้าด้วยกันด้วย Surveillance Station CMS Surveillance Station นั้นมาพร้อม 2 สิทธิ์การใช้งานฟรี การเชื่อมต่อกล้องและอุปกรณ์เพิ่มเติมจะต้องใช้สิทธิ์การใช้งานเพิ่มเติม เรียนรู้เพิ่มเติม M.2 Drive Slots: Both the DS1621xs+ and the DS1823xs+ have two M.2 slots for NVMe cache, while the DS3622xs+ has no M.2 slots. Finally, while the DS1823xs+ can be expanded to up to 18 drive bays using expansion units, it does not support petabyte-scale storage solutions like some other high-end NAS devices on the market. This may not be a significant limitation for all users, but those who need truly massive storage solutions may want to consider other options. Moving towards more areas of scalability and upgradability, there is the subject of the PCIe upgrade slot. Now, much like the HDD/SSD discussion of support and compatibility, the range of supported cards available to you on the DS1823xs+ is mostly ‘Synology Only’. However, fair play to Synology, their range of cards has expanded hugely in the last 2-3 years and you have the option of 1-2 Port 10GbE cards, as well as dual port 25Gb FC cards too.
