Q: 1. Does the DS1823XS+ support 3rd party NVMEs? Also for storage pools? Otherwise going to buy the competition.

A: Synology only guarantees full functionality, reliability, and performance for Synology drives listed on the compatibility list, so although other brands will work they are not officially supported.

Q: 2. What is the power(Watts) consumption for this NAS?

A: The Synology DiskStation DS223j 2-Bay NAS Enclosure comes with a 60w power supply unit.

Q: 3. I am deciding between this unit and OWC Thunderbay 8 bay Raid. I need a fast/reliable HD array for video editing, not NAS?

A: For an 8-bay RAID that's directly accessed rather than network-accessed, I recommend the OWC ThunderBay 8 8-Bay Thunderbolt 3 Raid Array with SoftRAID XT (B&H # OWTB38SRKIT0, https://bhpho.to/3nyXhCJ) over the Synology DiskStation DS1821+ 8-Bay NAS Enclosure (B&H # SYDS1821P, https://bhpho.to/3nGCSLT). The OWC model has faster Thunderbolt 3 ports to plug in and access directly from your computer, while the Synology is designed as a network-based backup solution.

Q: 4. Can you move hard drives directly from Drobo? Have a4 2TB drives with lots of data that I cannot loose.

A: Hard drives cannot be moved directly from one RAID enclosure to another. All data on the array should be backed up to a separate location. The drives can then be formatted (wiped) and, if compatible, installed into the new enclosure. After setup data will have to be transferred to the new array manually.

Q: 5. The specs say this NAS supports macOS 10.12 and later. Does this mean you won't be able to back up a Mac running an earlier OS, like 10.11, to this NAS?

A: That is correct.

Q: 6. With all bays populated with 7200rpm 16GB+ disks, what temperature do the drives sit at? idle vs load? At loudest fan speeds.

A: Synology has not provided metrics on the amount of heat generated by the DiskStation DS1823xs+ 8-Bay NAS Enclosure.

Q: 7. Is this fast enough to handle video editing from 2-4 machines simultaneously?

A: The DS1522+ NAS enclosure can work for multiple machines to edit video, but it will be slower with larger file sizes. For a little bit more speed, it is worth considering a similar enclosure that has more drive bays, and a quad core processor, like this: https://bhpho.to/3cRGiWG .

Q: 8. Can it hold 18tb and above in the box ?

A: Yes. At this time this Asustor DRIVESTOR 4 AS1104T 4-Bay NAS Enclosure BH #AS1104T • MFR #AS1104T would support 18TB and above.

Q: 9. Can this be expanded via Synology E10M20-T1 to support 4 NVME drives as storage pool/raid?

A: Yes, the Synology DiskStation DS1823xs+ 8-Bay NAS Enclosure has 1 PCIe expansion slot for this purpose.

Q: 10. Is a NVMe M.2 drive required, what function does it provide?

A: The Synology DiskStation DS1621+ 6-Bay NAS Enclosure does not require M.2 drives to operate, however is benefited greatly by them. Adding M.2 drives for high-IOPS system caching allows you to maximize performance and capacity efficiently.
