Plex not using GPU for transcode |

Hi there
I have a Qnap TS-473A nas that I am using for a plex server.
I have a plex pass and I cannot seem to get the system to utilise the GPU for transcoding.
It spikes the CPU usage to 97% and the GPU sits at 0%.
I have a Nvidia GA107 ( RTX 3050 ) which has the latest drivers and on the qnap website says it’s compatible.
I have also set the GPU to QTS mode.
Please explain ! Hah
Thanks

I am wanting to build a home server with the idea of running a Proxmox server running multiple VMs include:
- True NAS Scale for a home NAS running RAID 5
- Plex/Jelly Fin server
- running multiple VMs for various home lab learning environment i.e. building a mock AD environment / test various OS / docker environments / pfSense. Just anything that i want to dip my toes into
Here is my currently build so far:
Case: Fractal Design Node 304 Mini ITX Tower Case
Motherboard: MAXSUN Challenger B760ITX D5 WIFI DDR5 LGA1700
CPU: Intel Core i5-12400 2.5 GHz 6-Core Processor
OS Drive: Crucial P3 Plus 1 TB M.2
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB
CPU cooler: Noctua NH-L9i-17xx 33.84 CFM CPU Cooler
HDD: Western Digital Red Plus 4 TB 3.5" X5
PSU: Corsair SF600 (2018) 600 W 80+ Platinum
Additional features:
1. Silverstone ECM28 1x NVMe (M Key) 1x SATA (B Key) M.2 SSD to PCI-E
--- potentially running another m2 drive for a cache and to connect the 5th HDD
2. TP-Link TX401 10Gbe PCIe Network Card
Can anyone give some advise on if they would change anything?

Seeking NAS of pcie 4 type |

Hi, can you suggest a NAS that's PCIe4+ for storing files?
I was considering putting in 4*4TB nvme's inside, so I have plenty of space.
I was toying with the idea of a 4 nvme card to go into a pcie slot but not sure if my MSI mobo will do the 4x4x4x4 required.
Any recommendations would be most welcome.
Thanks, Nick.??

Crystal ball time:
My concern is future proofing what I already have.
I have a DS1821+ with 1 x DX517 (11 disks installed). Should I invest in a second DX517 and say a E10G30-T2 (dual RJ45 10 Gigabit).
I want to preserve the "non Synology" disk support but am concerned about being orphaned by a future version of DSM.
Regards,
Mark

TNAS F4-424 user problem |

Hello,
It seems like my new TerraMaster TNAS F4- 424 setup forgets the user table somewhere between 48 and 72 hours of operation. I followed the videos and they were a big help to set it up but they don't address this problem. If you know how to fix the issue, that is even better.
Thanks,
Brice

I have a DS923+ and want to add an SSD drive for use with VM's. Also, is it recommended that I mirror two drives for this purpose? I appreciate your response.

I'm planning to set up a network of NAS devices across potentially two or three different locations for my family. The idea is that each site would serve as a backup for the main NAS and homelab.
The primary NAS will be used for running applications like Plex/Jellyfin, Immich, and other various services. The secondary locations would be dedicated to backup and potentially some small local services. All the NAS devices would be connected using Tailscale, and I'd like to have specified folders backed up automatically across them.
I'm comfortable building a DIY NAS if that turns out to be the better option, but I'm currently unsure about the specific hardware I should consider.
Could you provide some guidance on the best way to proceed with this plan?

UGREEN DXP2800 - Cannot Get Linux Installed |

Note that this is a cross-post from Reddit r/HomeNAS (I would link but am not allowed). The NAS Compares YouTube channel is what helped me make my decision (thank you!).
Hello all,
I recently purchased a new UGREEN DXP2800. This model has the onboard 32G EMMC storage, 2 NVME slots, and 2 SATA bays. Per the plethora of YT videos regarding installing Linux distros on these units, I have disabled the EMMC storage in BIOS and turned off watchdog. I populated one of the NVME slots with a 1TB Samsung 990 for the OS (way overkill) and the two SATA bays with 6TB WD Red drives. Currently running the 8G of RAM that the unit ships with (it only has a single RAM slot - a new 16G SO-DIMM is on the way).
But here's the kicker - I can't get a Linux installer to run. So far I've only tried TrueNAS Scale and Rocky Linux 9. In both cases, the unit posts and the boot loader of the installation media (USB key) appears. When I try and start the installer for TrueNAS it gets a few pages into loading the live / installer OS and then panics saying it cannot remount root. When I try and start the Rocky installer it is similar - live / installer OS gets a bit in and then halts with errors about not being able to find inst.stage2 / inst.repo.
I'm really scratching my head here as I can't even get a live OS going to begin the install. Videos I've watched and instructions I've read make this install sound like any other typical Linux install (with the exception of disabling the watchdog, which I've done). The only difference is that I've not seen people run through an install on the 2800 (the 2-bay unit) - they've all been on the 4-bay and higher end ones.
I've tried permutations of EMMC enabled and disabled and SATA drives installed and not. Tried different USB ports for the installation media.
Any ideas?
