    WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME ABOUT THESE THINGS?

    I have an old DS409+ that I've had for well over a decade. Bought a
    DS1621+ this past December, drooped an nvme cache drive and upped the
    ram to 32gb and it runs really well. Runs everything that I would need,
    though a k3s or docker swarm target would be nice. Plex server crashes,
    but I don't really use it, my fiance does for her fire stick.

    I have two ethernet channels bonded (1gb), if I upgrade to a 2.5 or 10g switch, will do all 4, right now it's maxing out at the network speed.
    I've actually been considering bumping to a 2.5g switch as copying
    larger files (video) just feels slow...

    Yeah, the DS1010+ sounds like it's a generation or two behind, but AI was
    able to upgrade it to DSM6, which gets a more featureful shell environment, and it's got a ton of things to play with.

    I've bonded 2 gig Ethernets using their basic link aggregation, am going to play with 802.3ad some time in the future.

    As a docker host, I'm not sure how well it'll do (it's a celeron with 3 GB
    of RAM) but I have a Proxmox guest for Docker (and proxmox supports LXC natively)

    With all of my old 2TB drives in it, I've got 7.2 GB of SHR raid to play
    with.

    All in all, it's a great toy to expand my homelab and keep me learning.
