An alternative to the DS223j would be the QNAP TS-233. From a pricing point of view it’s pretty much the same. With the difference that the QNAP TS-233 has 2GB of RAM. I had once a QNAP NAS but I sold it after some time, because it was too loud. The TS-233 should be quiet, but is it as quiet as the DS223j which turns off the fans when the system is idling? It’s important to consider these limitations when choosing a NAS device based on your specific requirements and the applications you intend to use. Feature Usable capacity for each volume will be lower than the maximum volume size and is dependent on the filesystem and the amount of system metadata stored. Synology Drive allows users to easily share and sync files across their PCs, Macs, and mobile devices from anywhere in the world, helping teams spread across different time zones to ensure their workflow stays smooth and productive.

it would be great if you could measure the performance of thumbnail generation for a larger photo library. My photo library is around 700GB large and I had a lot of issues creating thumbnails on my DS216+. It could never finish the task. Will the DS223j be able to create thumbnails 100k images and videos? How many weeks will it take? I just noticed that the DS223j and DS223 share the same CPU. The difference for me is 1GB vs 2GB of RAM. In your in-depth review of the DS223 you had a small photo library with less than 1000 pictures and partly with a very low resolution. Which NAS can you recommend for larger photo libraries? applies to files indexed or hosted by Synology Drive.

Add an extra layer of protection

ARM-powered NAS such as the Synology DiskStation DS223j is designed primarily as a means to securely store data in the cloud. Because of the low-power chip and non-upgradable internal components, the DS223j shares the same all-white plastic design as the DS220j. Looking at average latency at 8K 70/30, the QNAP TVS-h874 posted a range of 18.52ms to 1,180ms, and 6.62ms to 323ms for SMB and iSCSI respectively. I wanted to buy the DS220j or DS120j because it has the Low-Power Fan Speed Mode. Because my Synology device would mostly idle around, my hope would be that the fan would mostly be turned off. I have already switched the annoying fan of the DS216+ with silent Noctua Fan, but I would like it to be mostly off. My Raspberry Pi runs fine without fans, why shouldn’t my NAS run fine without a fan too. The fan of the DS920+ was really loud and the power consumption was way too high. It was way more powerful than what I needed. A minor point, and one that only long-time followers of the Synology brand will have noticed, but the DS223J arrives with one gigabyte of DDR4 memory, which is actually twice the amount that the brand has provided in this series for the last decade. 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. However, the more tasks you run and the more users you have, the more memory you are going to need. Even though the DS223J is priced similarly to previous J series value NAS models from Synology, the fact that it arrives with twice the baseline memory will be tremendously useful and add an element of future-proofing to your long-term storage plans, whether it’s deployed in or outside of DSM.

For standard deviation, the DS223j recorded 79.58ms read and 121.42ms write in SMB, and 2,119.52ms read and 282.06ms write in iSCSI with our RAID6 config. Designed specifically for multimedia files, Synology Photossimplifies organization with automatic sorting capabilities. Secure sharing options make it easy to enjoy digital memories with family and friends, while support for RAW file formats supports professional creative work.Still, compared with higher-end Synology servers, such as those of the Plus-series, the DS223j is, as expected, underwhelming. Below is the rest of the original article from 18/07/22. What Do We Know About the Synology DS223j 2-Bay NAS Drive? If you’ve been considering a Synology NAS because you want to own your very own private cloud for your data and not rely on public cloud spaces such as Google Drive or Dropbox, the Synology DS223J is one of the most low-impact 2-bay NAS that the brand has ever produced. With reported power consumption at 16 watts active and 4 watts idle, this is barely going to register on your electricity bill annually. Moreover, thanks to the compact plastic chassis, rubberized feet, and discreet ventilation, the system is also going to run exceptionally quiet unless you choose to install particularly aggressive or enterprise-grade hard drives. So, in short, if you are looking at a NAS that has a tiny impact o your network, environment, the DS223j is confirmed to support:
