Product Information

Inside the Synology DiskStation DS223j is a Realtek RTD1619B, which has four physical cores and is capable of bursting up to 1. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers. For storing files and connecting to various devices, including PCs running Linux, macOS, and Windows, no additional software is required. However, in the case of DS223J, you only have a single gigabit network port and you have no means to upgrade it beyond that which severely limits its performance.

The Synology DS223j is a compact and energy-efficient Network Attached Storage (NAS) device designed for small teams.The device is then tested in set intervals in multiple thread/queue depth profiles to show performance under light and heavy usage. The testing standard was based on the maximum number of concurrent connections supported by this model. Example 3: Even selecting Main Menu items is a nightmare – NO FEEDBACK – can’t tell which icon is selected! if you are still going around in circles and need direct consultation, we have just started providing one-hour consultations via zoom. Synology has been impressively efficient in how much they can do with systems on rather modest hardware, ensuring that they remain efficient over days, weeks, months, and years of operation.

Despite its rather modest architecture, which features a low-powered ARM quad-core processor and one gigabyte of DDR4 memory, the Synology DS223J is able to run the majority of Synology’s baseline applications. It's a user-friendly OS interface that takes a few moments to get used to, making the DS223j a great NAS for beginners.

I think that Synology could have made the update benefits ( or not) much clearer than they have; and you did. Our enterprise NAS testing process preconditions each drive-set into steady-state with the same workload the device will be tested with under a heavy load of 16 threads, with an outstanding queue of 16 per thread. Synology is not pretending that this is some kind of powerhouse system and is quite clear in all of their advertising and data sheets that this is a system designed for efficiency and as an entry point into DSM.

Traditional RAID such as RAID 1 or RAID 5 limits the ability to use different capacity drives in a single storage pool, shrinking all drives to the smallest available capacity.

The best part about the DS223j is the potential savings over longer periods of time compared to cloud storage subscription services. This means you don't have to pull apart the TerraMaster NAS for any reason since the RAM is not upgradable. Ultimately, if you think that you may upgrade your Synology NAS much later in its life and you intend to reuse the drives, SHR will be exponentially helpful. You can set various file access permissions, and also add features such as automatic backups and media server capability. Actual maximum storage pool and volume sizes depend on drive sizes used, the number of drive bays available, and the RAID configuration.However, the ARM-based processor in the DS223J is designed to be as efficient as possible, and one of the ways to improve memory efficiency is by directly soldering the memory to the PCB motherboard of the NAS. I am an early adopter of OneDrive, and I’ve been using Google photos since the days it was completely free and “unlimited”, so that gives you an idea how much I rely on them.
