help Synology DiskStation DS920+ FAQ

How many drive bays does the Synology DS920+ actually have?

The Synology DS920+ is a 4-bay NAS, expandable to a total of 9 drives using two Synology DX517 expansion units. It comes with 4 GB of DDR4 RAM out of the box and includes two M.2 NVMe slots for SSD caching.

What processor does the Synology DS920+ use and can it transcode 4K video?

The DS920+ is powered by an Intel Celeron J4125 quad-core processor with hardware transcoding support, making it capable of on-the-fly 4K to 1080p video transcoding through Synology's Video Station. This is a significant advantage for users streaming media to devices that do not natively support certain codecs.

Has the Synology DS920+ been discontinued or replaced?

The DS920+ was replaced by the DS923+, which uses an AMD Ryzen R1600 processor instead of Intel and swaps the NVMe SSD cache slots for M.2 storage slots. The DS923+ is generally considered a downgrade for home users who rely on hardware video transcoding, since the AMD chip lacks Intel Quick Sync.
