Hi all,
Just joined the community the past weekend after getting my very first NAS last Friday (fun!). So I'm very new to the entire thing.
I setup everything I currently need for Plex, and it works great except for the following:
The issue I'm currently facing is that the NAS is extremely slow while SABnzbd is downloading files to the point where any running service is barely accessible.
The DS224+ is running on its basic config; 2GB RAM and a single 4TB HDD. RAM expansion is already on its way.
I notice that disk usage is very high while SAB is downloading; could this be the culprit?
Would installing a SSD as a download/incomplete folder solve this issue?
Or would the RAM expansion improve things as well?
Thanks so much for your time and feedback.

Re: Syn DS224+ very slow while SAB is downloading
A hdd is most likely the bottleneck.
Try reducing the speed, I don't know what your maximum speed is, but set it to half of that to start. See if your NAS can then keep up.
Usenet downloading is a heavy task for disk, cpu and a bit of memory. An ssd as temporary download folder will definitely help.

Thank you so much for your response. Limiting download sleed was something I hadn’t considered yet. I capped the line at 30mbps and was able to stream Plex alongside an active SAB download for the first time!
