vswitchzero | Synology DS423+ NAS Review! @vswitchzero | Uploaded June 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Today I’ll be taking a break from the retro content to do a review on the Synology DS423+ four bay NAS unit!. As a content creator, I’ve been accumulating a ton of video footage, photos and audio recordings and its time to get my files in order. Of course, it wouldn’t be a vswitchzero video without trying to connect at least one retro PC to it, so stay tuned for that if you’re interested. This premium quality NAS unit is packed with features, but does it live up to its hefty price tag?
Big thanks to Synology for sending me the DS423+ and the pair of SAT5210 solid state drives for this review.
