The Synology DS216+ NAS Server just got an upgrade in the DS216+II
What difference does the new chip mean to me as a NAS buyer?
A short while ago at SPANTV (SPANdotCOM) we covered the recent Synology DS716+II release announcement, which you can watch below:
If further comparison is needed, you can always take a look at the specs side by side for the DS716+ and DS716+II and see how these NAS compare:
What about PLEX? VMware and my NAS services? Will the Change in CPU mean better or worse results?
All very valid questions, not just for new buyers but old buyers too who may feel short-changed at the Hardware change 6 months after release. I am pleased to tell you that the difference is very minimal indeed, The CPU (both in Dual Core for the DS216+II and Quad Core for the DS716+II) may have a higher overall burst GHz thanks to that Pentium Chip, but unless you are really pushing your NAS, you will not notice this – and when you do, it is minimal!
The DS716+II and Synology DS216+II NAS are both suitable for a Plex Media Server, a solid VM platform with Docker Station, Fully functioning DLNA Media Servers and still very much the crown in the Synology Diskstation Plus Series NAS range.
