Synology DS224+ NAS: Pros & Cons Overview for 2023

In this video, we provide a quick overview of the Synology DS224+ NAS, released in July 2023. This NAS comes equipped with dual LAN ports and a Celeron CPU with a built-in transcoding chip, making it ideal for streaming videos both locally and remotely. It can replace your Dropbox and Time Machine backups, supports active backups for business, and includes features like high availability and hot-swappable bays. The DS224+ allows SHR upgrading and RAM replacement but lacks a PCI slot, NVMe slots, and expansion unit support. Although limited to two bays, it supports Docker, virtual machines, and multimedia management with face and object recognition.
