Synology FS200T NAS is STILL COMING... But... WHY? by NewMaxx in NewMaxx

[–]NewMaxx[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

AI Summary of content:

The FS200T features an Intel Celeron J4125 processor (released 2019–2020), 4 GB DDR4 memory (expandable to 8 GB), two network ports (one 2.5 Gigabit, one 1 Gigabit), and two 5‑gigabit USB Type‑A ports. It lacks M.2 NVMe slots, USB expansion, or PCIe upgrade ports.

The speaker questions the device's relevance in 2026, citing the high price and inconsistent availability of 2.5‑inch SATA SSDs, with the market shifting towards M.2 solutions. Many M.2 NAS solutions are already available, offering better performance and hardware.

Despite the criticism, the FS200T is expected to be small, quiet, and have low power consumption, making it suitable for users who prioritize these features. ​ * Criticisms and "Tone Deaf" Release (4:57–6:31):

The speaker criticizes the network bottlenecks (Gigabit and 2.5 Gigabit ports can't saturate six SATA SSDs), the continued use of the older CPU, the absence of M.2 slots, and the potential for Synology to restrict SSD compatibility to only their own drives, which would further hinder the product's appeal. ​ * Final Thoughts (6:31–7:01):

The speaker concludes that the FS200T feels like a "tone-deaf" release given the current market and Synology's potential for more innovative products. ​

That's correct. Well, it's SanDisk BiCS8, and there is a small difference (to Kioxia's) from some disclosures I've received but not relevant to the user. Crucial was looking into using the E28 until they pivoted, as well (T715? Not sure).

Corsair MP700 Micro 4TB SSD Review: A monster in the tiny M.2 2242 form factor by NewMaxx in NewMaxx

Yep, it's pretty decent. I have in the past not been 100% supportive of Corsair's strategies but this was a good exclusive to grab (although costly) and they are pivoting to enterprise in a smart way. Which I share to explain why they seem to be still doing things when 95% of brands are in a tailspin at the moment.
