And the DS925+ Written Review is here -  https://nascompares.com/review/synology-ds925-nas-review/

@MrRuLor

Better alternatives
For speed: 923+ with 10Gbps addon
For Media: 920+
For both: 2019 models from other brands

@mikesalz

Thank you for confirming that I made the right choice by purchasing a NON-Synology NAS to replace my aging DS-918+

@nascompares

Update - The Synology DS925+ NAS is now available in the East. More on this, early pricing, HDD compatibility and the hardware here - https://nascompares.com/2025/04/23/synology-ds925-nas-released-in-the-east/

@ericneo2

This is Synology's Intel/Nokia moment when they lost market dominance.

@pbrigham

So no 10GB, no integrated graphics, for who this is for? For the suckers that have been buying 1GB Nics Synology to upgrade?

@OVERKILL_PINBALL

no 10Gbps = no $ale

@MWONG06

Any NAS without a CPU iGPU should never be considered for general home users.  I don't understand why Synology switched over to AMD without iGPUs to power their consumer line. 

I've been super happy with the UGreen DXP4800 Plus and have recommended it to friends and family.

@abbasmohyuddin5302

With that pace i think Synology would take next 6 years to catch up with my Ugreen DXP4800+

@octagon97

This company keeps treating its customers like idiots. I wouldn't be surprised if they continue to use these CPUs to support 2-bay models after 2 years

@Spider210

How they cannot see the loss of sales to competitors is beyond me

@Eric10460

I bought a 723+ a few years ago, and the way synology is going it might be the first and last one I buy.  They’re just so many  other options with better hardware.

@mredizon00

Sticking with my DS920+ more excited on Minisdorum upcoming NAS instead.

@GrishTech

3:02 - sales tax / VAT varies down to the city level in the states. It’s different for everyone.

@KevinRamirez-vw5kv

Greed for company over value for users. That always turns out well.

@dbsirius

The hardware upgrade for those who likes shiny new model numbers only

@Lorondos

?, that roadmap cannot be right, no iGPU and the older J series, do they want to get rocked by UGreen, Minisforum etc? 😅

@rajags

I was thinking about upgrading to this but no mini PCI-E slot and no ability to add 10 Gbe makes it a hard sell

@PolarRed

I'm increasingly convincing myself (probably erroneously so) that the 25+ range is a stop gap, low investment, faux-"upgrade" range for the purpose of "let's get rid of those old components", and that in 1.5 - 2 years tops, they will roll out a "AI CPU" NAS range, and probably using a new chassis design as well. The appearance of the the AI Console in beta does nothing to dissuade me on this.

@wapping2010

Considering how long these products last alongside the constantly updated DSM,  I'm not surprised they are pushing higher prosumer users to the enterprise models.   I'm not that tech savvy, or price sensitive and happy  to trade  10GbE for 2.5 to stay with DSM.
