Synology DiskStation DS920+ 4-bay NAS Review

Rating: 8.5.

Sitting under Synology's Personal and Home User banner, the DiskStation DS920+ is the latest addition to the companies 4-bay NAS lineup in the Plus series. The DiskStation DS920+ comes with support for a pair of M.2 NVMe SSD slots for performing cache operations.

Powered by an Intel Celeron J4125 quad-core processor clocked at 2.0GHz (burst up to 2.7GHz) the DiskStation DS920+ comes with 4GB of DDR4-2666MHz memory but should you need more the motherboard supports up to 8GB via a single SO-DIMM slot. It also supports an AES-NI hardware encryption engine.

Synology quote Sequential throughput performance for the DS920+ as up to 225.99MB/s for reads and 225.90MB/s for writes although those figures are from the NAS being tested with both LAN ports being used in Link Aggregation mode.

Synology back the DS920+ with a 3-year warranty.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
