After that, you can install them via the slot on the server's underside. The process is easy and painless. All you need is a small Philip-head screwdriver. Synology DS1821+: SSD caching upgrade

If you're using the DS1621+ and want to upgrade to the DS1821+ to take advantage of the two extra drive bays, the process is the same as when you migrate from one Synology server to another. The 5-bay DX517 expansion unit uses an eSATA connection, which caps at 5Gbps, to connect to the server. User-defined temperature settings are stored in nonvolatile memory so parts may be programmed prior to insertion in a system. Temperature settings and temperature readings are all communicated to/from the DS1621 over a simple two–wire serial interface. The DS1621+ has a PCIe slot, which supports a range of 10GbE networking cards. (Image credit: Future)You also get three USB 3.0 ports (one on the front) plus dual eSATAs. The latter is used for adding external drive bay expansions, and an extra 16 bays and 108TB total is possible. The NAS CPU itself has no fan on the heatsink, but the DS1621+ has dual rear 92mm fans that provide decent airflow, and keep your drive array from getting too hot. In a way, this post is about Synology hardware upgrades, specifically in RAM, storage, and 10Gbps network speed. In other words, if you're looking for the best 10Gbps NAS for the home (or small office), you're at the right place. That amount is enough for general usage, but a memory upgrade is a must if you want to get the most out of the server. Synology hardware upgrades: Here's my new Synology DS1821+ and the upgrade parts, including a 10Gbps PCIe add-on card, a 32GB DDR4 RAM kit, and two 1.92GB Seagate IronWolf NVMe SSDs.

What's more, each server has two built-in M.2 slots to host two NVMe SSDs -- a good upgrade option if you use the server for applications that can benefit from caching. There's no way to use these slots for general storage. Synology’s productivity apps include the Office suite which is offered as a free alternative to Microsoft 365. It works with the Drive app to provide a central location for users to create documents, spreadsheets and presentations, collaborate on them together with others and keep them secure. The Dallas Semiconductor brand is no longer in use, but its products and technology continue to be a part of Maxim's portfolio. In 2002, Dallas Semiconductor was acquired by Maxim Integrated, a multinational semiconductor company, and became a subsidiary of Maxim. More caution is needed when selecting a 10GbE adapter, however, as Synology is rapidly shrinking its third-party hardware compatibility list and focusing more on its own solutions. When we installed the same Emulex dual-port 10GbE adapter we’d used to test the DS1618+, the DS1621+ hung during the boot phase and would only accept a dual-port Intel X520 10GbE adapter. Synology DiskStation DS1621+ review: 10GbE performanceHardware specifications: Synology DS1821+ vs DS1621+ Synology DS1821+ vs DS1621+: Hardware upgrades are (almost) a must It's even older than that -- Synology first announced it in 2020. But it's still going to be the latest Synology 8-bay NAS for homes and SMBs for a while -- Synology likely won't release its replacement this year. You will need two drives if you want to cache for both writing and reading -- so it's a good idea to get two. Considering you can find hard drives of 20TB and higher capacities nowadays, the number of drive bays is not that important. So, if one can live with fewer bays, the DS1821+ has nothing to justify the more expensive cost compared to the DS1621+.
