Synology DS1019+ vs DS920+ NAS - Which to Buy? https://nascompares.com/2020/03/19/sy...

With the newest 2019/2020 generation of NAS drives being uncovered from Synology of late, those looking to buy a new NAS Drive can be broken down into two types. Those who looked at the new Synology 2020 diskstation NAS and said “yes please”, and the ones who looked and thought, “nah, you are ok”. Today, we want to look at the latter users who are looking at the potential bargains and price cuts that older NAS such as the DS1019+ (and DS918+) released back in 2018/2019 and have narrowed it down to these older units OR to buy the DS920+ NAS released just weeks ago. There is no avoiding the fact that the Synology DSM software platform will generally evolve and change much, much faster than the hardware and even NAS drives that are 1-2 years old will still support some of the latest and most powerful innovations available in the latest firmware updates. So, today I want to focus on these two especially popular NAS drives and help you guys decide between them.
