Hey folks, happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating today!
I have a Synology DS1821+ that I have completely filled. I’m looking for expanding, but I don’t really want to completely replace the Synology yet.
Does anyone know if there is a way to expand the number of drives? I’ve heard murmers that I can use a DAS, but nothing for sure. Wondering if anyone has attempted this before. Thanks!
There are expansions for Synology: https://www.synology.com/en-us/products/accessories?tab=nas&category=expansion_units
Probably most important is the 5-drive DX517 that will definitely work with your 1821+ https://www.synology.com/en-us/products/DX517#specs
Thanks, I saw some of those, the prices seem… extreme for what is essentially a JBOD enclosure. It’s definitely there as a backup, but I’m hoping for something that won’t be that much… but maybe I’m dreaming
