According to our NAS expert
The Synology DS1520+ is a NAS for a small office or for technical home users. Install 5 hard drives in RAID mode to provide your employees or housemates with fast and secure network storage. You can also install 2 M.2 SSDs. Since these use NVMe, you create a super fast SSD cache. In addition to the cache, the Intel Celeron Quad-Core processor and 4 Ethernet ports also ensure this NAS is fast. Thanks to 8GB DDR4 RAM, you can work on the DS1520+ with dozens of people at the same time. Are you using the NAS at home? Then you can stream your videos in 4K resolution via Plex. For businesses, there is the Virtual Machine Manager. Use this to easily manage the operating systems of your employees and screenshot the files on them. You get a 3-year warranty, which you can expand with the EW201 warranty expansion.

I bought it in combination with 1TB SSD for 'swap drive' temporary storage with a lot of file access and 2x8TB for data storage of the photos of the kids etc. Installing was very easy, partly because I already have some experience with Synology, but anyone who can read can easily set up this NAS themselves. The questions that are asked are clearly described and choices neatly reflect the advantages and disadvantages. I also wanted to use this NAS as a Plex Media server in combination with my Nvidia Shield, but that was a bit disappointing. Installing the Plex package gives an error message and that is also the downside of this software, 'something went wrong' ... okay, then what? no information available until you dive deep, REALLY DEEP into the log files... That's a shame and not easy for inexperienced users. Luckily we were able to install Plex from the Plex website, so it now runs like a charm. No problem streaming home videos, viewing photos and listening to my music albums anywhere in the world with this NAS. Thanks to Photo Station, the photos you take are also on your NAS in no time, nice and easy and good for the space on your phone :)
