Hello.
on 2022  I asked you for advice regarding buying a NAS. I went for the Synology 720+. I upgraded to 18 GB of RAM and had 2x8 TB WD drives. 
I opened a small business now, and we film podcasts, our workflow is with Blackmagick atem mini extreme and Hyperdeck HD. I now have some shared folders my team uses, but I need storage for video footage where my team can download them immediately, and upload clips & shorts to a different folder we use. And it would be perfect to record directly on NAS.


I am thinking about 2 solutions:
1. Buy additional 5-bay storage for my 720+, move it to the office and add additional users to some of the shared folders2. To go with 4-bay nas just for the office and not to mix those 2 things (private and business)

Financially, as I can see, the DX517 enclosure costs a similar price as the DS423+ NAS. As this business NAS is only for storing and sharing the footage (I don't need features like photos or similar), what would you recommend me to do?I am no

Hey guys, I only just discovered your channel about a month ago and I love it. I have a question about QTS Hero storage pools and the add raid set to existing raid feature. MY TVS-h1688X currently has six 22TB Ironwolf Pro drives (Storage Pool 1, RAID 5, ZFS), later today I am adding six Seagate Exos 28TB drives (Storage Pool 2). Will I lose data if I create a new pool for the new drives, Raid 5, ZFS and combine that with the existing storage pool 1 RAID?

Thanks,
Jason

Hi,

I've been wanting to upgrade our WD MyCloud where that firm rodgered all owners of their MyCloud devices and essentially turned them into a door stop, plus there was zero redundancy of which I didn't like anyway.

So, as money is beyond tight I pulled the trigger on a Yottamaster Y-Defender Series Model: DF4RU3 '2.5 3.5 inch SATA HDD SSD Enclosure 4 Bay RAID External Case House Multi Slot Port 4x18TB RGB Silent Fan HDD Case' from AliExpress during Black Friday. I made a massive mistake and completely hold my hands up to for whatever enlightened thinking late at night, (never made such a glaring mistake in my 50-years on this sphere) didn't check it had networking ability - I know, I know 

So, whilst I can attempt to return this, whilst it's free return (I pay initial carrier return and if they accept the return they reimburse but never guaranteed I suppose)... I'm wishing to know if I can salvage this spend and that I can still roughly get to where I need to be for now, as follows;

1. Windows 10 Desktop which can't be upgraded to Win 11 wiped and install Linux Mint Cinnamon
   
2. Then Install CASA OS
   
3. Connect the aforementioned Yottamaster DAS to #1 above
   
4. Have the ability to get files/photo's/videos to be shared, saved, viewed to the DAS from a few users in my household via their own Windows PC/Smartphone, via it being connected to the Linux Mint Cinnamon Desktop of which has 150Mbps internet connection?
   

Hi,
Your YT channel helped me purchase my first NAS, thanks. I got the Asustor AS5402T. Following your guides, I was able to install TrueNas Scale...thanks again. Now, after reading your post:
https://nascompares.com/answer/qnap-tvs-672xt-external-gpu-via-m-2-slot-and-adapter/

I want to add an external GPU. The intel CPU is transcoding ok, but I wan to provide access to my media remotely for quite a few family members, so I might need simultaneous transcoding.

I plan to replicate your setup using the same m.2 adapter and Nvidia card. Could you please just offer some guidance as to how to address the software/driver config? I do not mind reverting the OS back to ADM if necessary.

Thanks again for all the free information you provide, it helps a lot of people like me. Maybe a video on this very subject of external GPU?))

Sincerely,
Joe

I foolishly bought a DS224+ last year with 2 x 4TB drives and guess what... I've outgrown it :-(

Would the DS1522+ be a good upgrade?

I am a hobbyist photographer using Photoshop. Topaz Photo AI and Lightroom Classic on Windows 11 and use the NAS to store all of my images. My NAS is connected to my router and I mostly connect using wifi. The cable broadband can deliver up to 900Mbps. Thanks in advance

How to Restore H265/H264 Transcoding Support for Emby Server on Synology NAS DS1621+ (DSM 7.22). I know that with the DSM 7.22 update, media file transcoding/processing was moved to end devices, but this is unacceptable for me. I have several devices (Smart TVs, etc.) that do not natively support these formats, and I was satisfied when transcoding occurred on the Synology NAS side. Please help me.

I'm looking to buy my first NAS and would appreciate your expert advice. My primary goals are:

- Reliable data backup
- Plex media server data source
- Potential Docker and VM hosting
- Strong focus on data protection

I'm planning to start with two 12TB drives and potentially expand later.
I already have an N100 mini PC for Plex transcoding, so I'm mainly seeking a robust storage solution.

Which NAS operating systems is the most reliable ?(Quts hero, TrueNAS, Synology BTRFS).

Could you recommend a turnkey NAS with ECC memory around £1000 (budget includes 2x12TB drive)?

If budget is too small, i would also accept recommendations under £1500.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I am trying to figure out the container station to install a docker container for immich. I am missing something, but do you have plans to make a tutorial about container stations and how to use them to install Docker apps or whatever they are called?

Here a dockerhub image
