Synology NAS Setup Guide 2021 featuring a Synology ds920+ using SHR with varying size disks and installing DSM 7 (Beta). if you are looking for a NAS, the DS920+ should definitely enter your list of options. please subscribe and click the bell icon.
This Synology NAS Setup Guide on ds920+ will focus on two main goals: unboxing DS920+, setting it up with SHR with varying size disks and installing DSM 7 (beta) on it.
One of Synology's most unique features, available in the Synology ds920+ NAS is the SHR and the ability to use different size disks in a specialized RAID array, without loosing capacity or redundancy.
In this Synology NAS Setup Guide we will also see how easy it is in DSM 7 to create an SHR volume, how streamlined and convenient the wizards are and in general, how simplified the entire process is.
Synology DiskStation DS920+ NAS is a 4-bay network attached storage device that delivers speedy performance and offers an great selection of optional server, backup, and productivity apps. its the ideal combination of an extremely feature rich NAS but in a small enough size to fit almost anywhere.
The Synology DS920+ features an Intel Celeron J4125 processor running at 2.0GHz (2.7Ghz in burst mode), and comes with 4GB of DDR4 RAM installed. You can slot in an additional 4GB or 8GB into the memory slot that’s located inside next to the drives. unofficial sources indicate you can even add an additional 16GB but that will void your warranty.
hopefully, this Synology ds920+ review and setup video will prove helpful in your NAS buying journey and we certainly recommend the DS920+ as objectively we possibly can.
