Upgrading from DS918 with plex transcoding?

#2
Hi

I’ve got the same dilemma… i’m thinking the same upgrading from a 916+ I’ve happily used for years
Although its not tired but i dare not run more containers in docker on it. My memory is fine 5gb available from 8gb, but cpu hovers between 40-60% as i’m running homebridge and home assistant and adguard.

The rest of the NAS is just used as a 4k hdr streaming direct to a dlna device for nvidia shield streaming etc
No transcoding as i can always see plex getting very laggy and tired so didn’t bother

Wondering if I should do the same but been pit off by the processor, at the same time just about got familiar with DSM.

Is there an alternative synology with powerful enough processor for me to get another 5 years of getting cpu hammering or is it a big enough jump from 916- 923 or even 920 …. Bear in mind my 916-+ doesnt have any ssd cache
Will that make a big difference??
Any advice is appreciated
