I had some “tougher” things running on the machine, but I had stopped them. I observed the machine using GKrellM, it wasn’t really calming down. I took a few afpd-s and httpd-s down, they got restarted, still things were not calming down. I rebooted it, and of course no things are as smooth, as they should be and usually are.

On 2015-03-20 we had reached the end of the 2015 CeBIT week – it was clear enough, Synology would not present a DS715+. They also only recently flooded the market with a DS215j, so there would not be a DS215+. Time to finally get a DS713+. Got it and started deploying to it all the software and data and scripts, I already have on my older and tinier DiskStations.

But the DS713+ is Docker ready and quite capable to run a Hibiscus-Server and my Perl banking scripts, and still do a lot of other stuff.

I had thought about a DS71X+ since the beginning of February, when I first noticed, that Synology also has an Intel (64bit) 2-bay “+”-model, even ready to get extended by an 8-bay extension frame – I assume this is their most powerful 2-bay DiskStation – maybe not most energy efficient – but I do need a machine, that can stand the constant bank data exchange and processing on a machine, that does not suffer at all from that task resp. bundle of tasks.
