Hello,
I would like a review of this product "XikeStor Marvell AQC113C dual 10G & dual M2".
It seems interesting to extend an existing DYI home NAS server.

Hi Rob,

I'm was on the verge of buying two Minisforum N5 Air's based on your recommendation, to replace a pair of aging ReadyNAS 316 boxes which are still serving me well.

Whilst doing some research I stumbled across this

https://www.reddit.com/r/MINISFORUM/comments/1pbnql6/silent_data_corruption_on_n5_pro_nas/

Which frankly has me reeling in horror. I was wondering if you were aware of this issue - alledgedly Minisforum are working on it - and had any advise on whether Minisforum are actually working on it.

This might make a basis for a video for your channel ?

Hey,

I'm looking at moving my JBOD in my Plex PC to a NAS.

I currently have a seedbox radarr, so are and qbitorrent with syncthing doing all my media downloading and shifting it to the pc when completed.

I'd like to basically do the same with a NAS box, all gets done externally, and shifts back locally. This isn't a massive requirement, if it can all be done locally too (with remote access).
Not looking to spend loads!
Anything Terra master or qnap?
Thanks

Dear nascompares team
Is there any modern / recent NAS that allows transfers via USB 3.2 or USB 4 rather than the old gigabit ethernet?

In the office and at home we only have old gigabit ethernet so all backups are very very slow. It takes forever to do a monthly backup of all the office laptops and of our private computers.

This whole process would be 10x faster if I could use the USB4 connectivity of our newer devices.

Thanks in advance,
Kostas and Eleni

Hi guys, i want to stream 4 K Movies i.e in Dolby Vision and with Dolby Atmos or True HD, via my cube Fire TV to my TV. I want to install Jellyfin on the NAS, and SABNZD. My question is which one of them suits my needs better, UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus or TERRAMASTER F4-425 Plus. As HDD i want to install 4 x WD RED PLUS 5400 rpm with 4 TB.

Any thoughts.

Best
Stefan

Hello, HUGE…fan of your channel and I’ve been watching for many years. I’m the process of building a separate NAS. I have Synology but want to add a media server which i cannot run on Synology DS220+. I have already bought an 8bay, and motherboard you recommended, (M-ATX case) with focus on low power consumption yet has great performance while keeping it under 35W TDP. I also need to run Docker or containers on it as I would like to host services like Pi-Hole, pFsense and other services. Not too many, maybe 4. In time I think I will outgrow my 2bay Synology, but you are right in saying it is easy to use. The hardware is just too limiting. I am fairly technical but do not have the time to dedicate hrs to management daily. I need to set and forget. Which OS provides best virtualization, containerization, stability, data integrity, and ease of use? Your thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks for your offer of advice.

I'm new to NAS: wanting to have backup, redudancy, and access from outside the home. Currently have 2 TB of files stored, expecting that number to double.

From what I have read here, the QNAP TS-464 NAS seems a good (maybe the best?) choice for my needs.

Looking forward to guidance,
John

It’s interesting that with all the discussion/criticism of SSD in the UCG fiber that no mention was made about how no data from the SSD is accessible from the LAN side. Not suggesting functionality like a NAS, but it would be useful to be able to share information in small data files. File access would not compete with UNASs. Similar short sightedness as with not including a tray.

The help I need is if the above is misconstrued and there is a way to access the contents of the SSD and add to it from the LAN I would like to learn how.

Thanks.

I am looking at setting up my first nas. Main use would be computer backup, replacement for one drive, and storage for my plex files with plex itself (and the “arr” suite of products) run through a HP mini pc enterprise desktop. Mostly looking for expandabikoty I currently have 2 x 16TB drives full of media and want to add to this and have some redundancy (raid 5?) plus backup my main home PC and maybe have some ability to back up my iPhone photos etc etc. have looked at Qnap, terrmaster Ugreen and others but a little lost.

I have the Miniroute N7 installed with UnRAID (Unleashed) and am having the infamous freezing issues with this board. No display, no ssh, no ping, and no K/M. I can only hard reset it. I cannot find any documentation on Miniroute's web on how to disable C-State (ZenState) in the AMI BIOS. UnRAID's support has told me to disable it, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how. I have also ran UnRAID's Mem Test for 4 days with no errors. I am losing my mind on this! Any help you can give would be appreciated.
