    Efficient and practical

    Implemented without major problems.
    However, does not yet benefit from the DSM 7.0 upgrade, so ExFat is a paid license.

    Powerful Nas

    It's a powerful and versatile nas. I honestly advise to quickly increase the base ram because with two vm's already, you quickly get to the base 8gb. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use the same ram as the other vm's. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use the same ram as the other vm's. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use the same ram. Not yet tested the gain with nvme but already great without. I've been using it for a while now, but it's a great tool to get the most out of your system, and it's a great tool to get the most out of your system.
    I highly recommend this nas with 32gb of ram for me to get the most out of it.

    Synology.... so no surprises and no worries.

    Great service from ldlc as usual. The Nas xeon allows a geekbench 5 on a win10 pro 2004 VM equivalent to a native core i3. Just my own experience. Versatile, example config; a 500gb ssd raid 1 to host the dsm install and VMs, a 256gb nvme ssd in read cache to make sure you get max throughput for vm, another identical one in read cache for a 4x10to shr for storage. Upgraded to 32gb ram ecc not synology much cheaper, just a warning message for warranty on system startup but it works fine. A 10gb network and it's a blast. Very happy
