How to Access a Synology NAS over the Internet

A Guide to Buying the Right Synology NAS Now https://nascompares.com/should-you-buy-a-new-synology-or-old-synology-nas-drive-in-2018/

If you are considering buying a new Synology NAS in 2018, chances are that you are looking to buy the newest models. This is completely understandable, a network attached storage device is a solid, long-term investment for you or your business and the last thing you want to do is purchase your new NAS server, only to find out a newer, shinier and more powerful version is right around the corner. Often the main reasons people buy the latest NAS is because:

Latest CPU and firmware revision is used, to ensure high power and efficiency
Future proofing, ensuring that in the event of upgrade/replacement, parts are available
Software support to the highest degree and most recent version
Compatibility with other recent hardware that has been released after the older model
Newer NAS devices are often designed to be more energy efficient, as this is a growing trend and a popular specification to design towards
There are all valid concerns, however, it is worth knowing that contrary to what many think, it is often the case that older Synology NAS are actually better. There are numerous reasons for this:

Several older Synology NAS such as the 2016 released DS916+ use CPU such as Intel Pentiums, that, though less power efficient, are much better suited to traditional applications that people use on custom NAS build
In most cases, the Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM 6.2) is exactly the same on the entire NAS range and updates are very regular
The hardware and software architecture on all Synology NAS runs on a Linux backend and therefore in order for the hardware on one NAS to support particular peripherals or media, it means that it will be supported on all others
The power consumption between even a 2-Bay and 8-Bay NAS is relatively small and unless you are using a NAS flat out (constant read/write actions), the power consumption will lessen greatly in standby mode, regardless of which NAS you use. Likewise, the power consumption between a new 4-Bay and an old 4-Bay is tiny.
