The M.2 NVMe bays are located under the NAS and are able to be used for cache only.
When looking at the rear of the unit, it has two fans, along with two 1GbE RJ-45 ports, reset button, eSATA port, power port, another USB 3.0 port, and the Kensington Security Slot. Each side of the NAS has the vented-word “Synology” on it. The four 3.5” drive bays take up almost all of the front of the NAS, with the power button, one USB 3.0 port, and LED indicators being on the right side of the device.
The Synology DiskStation DS920+ is a smaller NAS, which as stated before, has four front drive bays. Synology DiskStation DS920+ Design and Build Synology DiskStation DS920+ Specifications ComponentĤGB DDR4 non-ECC (expandable up to 8GB – 4GB + 4GB) The base Synology DS920+ is available for $547.99 at Amazon, although prices vary. The DS920+ was designed for reasonably good performance from a NAS, it is equipped with an Intel Celeron J4125 4-core CPU and 4GB of DDR4 RAM that can even be expanded up to 8GB. With this device manager, it allows for a range of uses including, complete multimedia management, streaming, and playback it allows for various types of backups, a virtual machine manager, or even a surveillance station. With four drive bays, supporting up to 100TB (9 total 3.5″ bays with expansion unit) for maximum single volume size and easy to use Windows-like OS, it doesn’t come as a surprise when people and small businesses alike select Synology NAS.Īs with all Synology NAS, the DiskStation DS920+ is powered by the Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM). This Synology DiskStation proves to be a very good option when it comes to a consumer-grade NAS. Since cloud service can only bring people so far before having to pay monthly or get in the hassle of using another service, NAS became a viable option when it came to storing and accessing data. The DS920+ offers four bays, while also featuring two built-in M.2 slots allowing the device to take advantage of the Synology SSD Cache functionality.Īs we have stated in other NAS reviews, with what happened in 2020, along with more people working from home, there was a need for mass amounts of data that people needed to access or even save too. The DS920+ leans to the smaller size of a NAS and offers a robust solution to streamline data and productivity within the environment that it is placed in.
You may need to re-select the backup disk and enter the correct username and password.Towards the end of 2020, Synology added the DiskStation DS920+ to their lineup of NAS devices. "The network backup disk could not be accessed because there was a problem with the network username or password. time machine gives the usual useless message. I can see it on the network it logs in with finder automatically and I can show the package contents of the backup, I can stream other files to and from the diskstation.
So what on earth is wrong now ! Any ideas gratefully received, so far I have reset the username password on the diskstation. Latest updates on El Cpitain and Synology. Corrected by reinitialising using a new userid on the diskstatio n and unlimited Quota. I had a quota issue that stopped time machine backup upto DS14 play. I already posted something on this last year.
