  Home NAS please help.
Posted by: Enquiries - 1 hour ago - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - No Replies

Nas for home plex, cloud storage and possible upgradable RAM.

Looking to do some 4k H.264 files and if I use only licenced players in home then maybe H.265. All mkv or MP4

I do a bit of youtube as a hobby, I need cloud storage

But Plex and cloud can be a first and I may get a second NAS just for my photo and video editing later.

Im a little unsure if I need transcoding ability or not, ill try not to use it if my statement above I can acheive.

But I have a 2 bay DS213+ which is very old and only suports syno 6.2

I did look at 923+ 1522 Qnap and others but I really like the synology.

But what would you suggest please

  Plex - do i need to upgrade
Posted by: Enquiries - 7 hours ago - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - No Replies

I have DS418play running plex, 3 kids and 2 parents are sometimes using server across 5 or more devices.

Am i asking to much of this NAS, should I be looking to upgrade?

Content is mostly 1080p, though all new content is 4k where possible.

About to abandon streaming services and go solely with plex, want to be best prepared.

Many thanks

  QNAP to Synology Upgrade
Posted by: Enquiries - 9 hours ago - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - No Replies

I'm upgrading my QNAP TS-469PRO due to 1) it is no longer supported by QNAP, 2) security issues with QNAP, and 3) the desire for a more user-friendly OS. I have decided the Synology DS1522+ may be the optimal solution with my use case (backups of Macbook Pro and Dell laptops-my spouse is a Realtor and operates her business from home & I'm retired, but lots of photo and video editing). I'm considering is a DS1522+ with 32GB RAM, Synology 10GbE Network Module, and 5 x Seagate Exos X16 ST16000NM003G 16TB SED HDD. The Seagate drives are not on the Synology compatibility list, but have seen enough videos to know this probably isn't an issue. I'll defer purchase of NVMe at this point.

Questions:
1) do you see any issues with the choices I've made, especially the inclusion of SED drives?
2) do you agree with my deferral of NVMe?
3) given that the DS1522+ is a 2022 model, what is the estimated support window for this model?
4) any other advice or considerations?

Thanks for your input.

Posted by: Enquiries - Yesterday, 09:30 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - No Replies

Currently using a DS115 with a WD20EFRX. No faults and very little used but aware of the age. I keep family photos on the NAS and back up my business laptop to it using Drive. Also have C2 back up. Recently tried backing up my iPad because I was trying to use it for business but have reverted to the old laptop.
Now synchronising my laptop files with one cloud and backing up to DS115.
I looked at the Beestation but not sure I like the inability to change the drive. Also believe they might be using a lower quality drive.
Looking at DS223J. Will I see a big improvement in performance? Is this just the memory and chip or do 2 drives help too? Could I utilise my current drive in new NAS or must it be matched exactly?
Would I be better looking at the DS 223 with 2MB memory or even a 224+. Obviously prefer the price of the 223J
Thanks for your assistance. Mo idea who else to ask.
Love your videos!

  How to install the OS and configure RAID
Posted by: Enquiries - Yesterday, 02:30 AM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - No Replies

So have TVS-472XT with i3 Intel CPU. Updated memory to dual 32gb SODIMM modules, and have ordered a QNAP QM2-2P-244A Dual M.2 22110/2280 Pcie SSD Expansion Card (PCIe Gen2 X4). I have some visual impairment so since had one open slot bought that card for 2 NVME 2TB modules. Existing RJ45 10Gb ethernet is enough and QNAP will be wired to my WIfi7 Netgear router with 1Gb ports and Cat 8 cables.

I will have all this ready by next weekend. I could use some guidance on what OS software to install and where to obtain. Is this where to go? https://www.qnap.com/en-us/download

Should I Install QTS or QTS Hero? Btw I have a Roon Nucleus server and Apple Mac Mini M2 cpu with 16gb ram and 1Tb SSD for MacOS

QNAP Qsync for Mac? Is there software on the Download Center i can install to setup my two RAID-5s and daily management?

  5g wifi 6 portable router
Posted by: Enquiries - 03-17-2024, 11:30 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - No Replies

Hi. I watched one of your videos. You dive into wifi electronics more than most. Very impressive. Some just do it to earn. You, on the other side, have a passion for it. I would like to know what is the best mobile router I can use through Europe. A router that uses sim card and is capable of lasting over 10 hours. I have seen some cheap ones for 50 euros or so, but your honest opinion is what I value. Based on your videos, that is your strongest suit, and that is very appreciated. In advance, thank you for your time.

  DS923+
Posted by: Enquiries - 03-17-2024, 02:00 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - No Replies

Hi,
how can I synchronize applePhotos with my Synology NAS?

hardware:
- 2 x macBook PRO M2max
- 1 x macStudio M2max
- 1 x Synology DS923+

software:
- all software is up to date

problem:
Whenever I synchronize the computers with the SynologyDriveClient the librarys gets destroyed on each device.

What can I do to keep the libraries and images up to date on all computers? That was never a problem with the apple iCloud, but I will change to my private Cloud on the Synology for security reasons.

Synology Photos are great but there is no option to edit the images, that's why I still need applePhotos.

Thanks and regards,
Max.

Couldn’t find the link you mentioned in your video ”Synology NAS - How to Connect Directly without a Switch or Router using iSCSI & Mapped Drives” for how to connect directly to a Mac
Would you be able to send me a link to this video as I can’t find it anywhere
