Synology DS620slim Gigabit NAS Review 4

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 09/19/2019 11:57 AM [ 12 comment(s) ]

Synology is going on a diet as they now offer a NAS series that holds 2.5" storage units only, and you know what that means. Yes, the SSD revolution is slowly progressing towards the NAS segment as well. Powered with an Intel Celeron J3355 dual-core 2.0 GHz (2.5 GHz boost) this NAS is to set to deliver on the 4K media front as the new is looking to be offering to be an excellent Plex transcoder.

What with this CPU being a J3355, and not the J3355E, i'm not sure it would be a good long term idea to buy this Nas.

Interesting device. Synology has really been blurring the line between just a NAS drive & also having a small server running Docker files & small VMs.

While Synology service & support is top tier (I personally worked with them on an issue and they provided me a beta patch in 1 week), applying optional Patches for all the Intel vulnerabilities does sap performance on these small CPUs, and now with the hardware level problems identified possibly limiting CPUs life span, I'd be very careful before investing in these with Intel CPUs.

Qnap and several others have been doing the same. Pretty neat stuff.

Actually, the low-mid tier NAS are super expensive for their hardware.... With some patience u can get 90% of the functionality of one of these with a Raspberry and some adapters. Heck the last pi has a lot more ram that this 500 box....
And I'm saying this being owner of a qnap 4bay... bought it 2 months before the new PI was announced...
(Previous Pi model had only USB 2.0 support so it wasn't an option)

On a hardware level I agree, but the money for a huge part on the software and applications offered. The days that a NAS was simply a file-server and FTP box are long gone, these have become advanced servers with incredibly impressive software packages.
