hello

i would like to start by thanking you for your helpful videos.

i am planning to buy my first nas soon and most likely it would be UGREEN NASync DH4300 Plus. my usage will be immich for most of my family members, plex or jellyfish, and i some docker containers. so 4-6 people will use it.

right now i dont know how to choose the right hdd i dont want to overpay, i am thinking of 16x4 or 12x4 with raid 5

also i am buying x2 of everything since my friend want a nas as well, and we will buy the samethings.

one more question, can i like my nas to my domain instead of going through ugreen?

HI, I have a TS 269l I would like to replace as it is getting on in age. I use it as a NAS for movies, photos, personal files and application copies, It is backed up to external drives. I use Twonky as a media server.

Hi I am looking for a low power consumption 4 bay nas that will house 4 x 3.5" HDD for occasional remote access while travelling. Can you recommend something. Want to avoid synology if possible as i simply no longer trust them following the recent HDD fiasco.

I own a QNAP TS-462, which works perfectly fine. The only thing I am really missing, is the option of wireless network access. Therefore I would like to install a PCIe WiFi card. QNAP’s own PCIe WiFi card QWA-AC2600 is quite expensive for me. Is there any third party PCIe WiFi card that I can use instead?

I have been following your 3 2024 Terra-master Guides from You tube. I have a Terra-master f4-424 with 2-10tb drives.
Question: Are their more 2024 guides for Terra-master?
If yes how do I access them?

Thanks for your time

I need a solution for multimedia file sharing in my studio. I run a media office and we have accumulated a lot of hard disks that span 15 years (almost 15TB). I would also like if it could be accessed in 3 locations

We currently have an ds215j with 2x2tb HDd’s. But it is full. We want an second nas to replace the first wan, that wan wil be only for camera recording. De new one wil be 1. Backup of my work computer with foto’s and designs. 2. Backup for documents, foto’s, video’s.

We had the ds423 in sight but don’t no about the ds423+ version

Hey, big fan of the channel. I even used this advice section once in the past but ended up not buying the NAS because at the time I was moving to another country.

So, what change then?
Well, I now have a homelab server, that deals with my media and server needs. So things like virtual machines and Plex media server are covered.

I would buy a NAS it ppurely for storage and backups. I would store all my media there (the things I stream in plex, but also family photos and videos) and use it in some sort of raid configuration for extra layer of backup protection.

I don't have a very good router, I'm using standard internet provider one and it can barely deliver 600mb/s on cable. So I would probably benefit form buying a router as well?

So, my questions are:
Do you think i would benefit from buying a NAS?
Any recommendations purely for storage use?
Should I buy a new shiny router?

leaving my 6bay Synology i'm looking at the Ugreen DXP8800 Plus 8-Bay and the DXP4800 Pro. But the NEW TerraMaster 4F425plus looks interesting for the computer

witch of the two Terramaster vs Ugreen is the best for future expansion and software that seems to be in rapid development with both companies ?

We're a family of 4. Our phones are at 99% storage mainly because of family photos/videos. We currently have 3.5±1 TB of data scattered across phones, computers, USB keys, and even drives collecting dust with 20-year-old memories.

What we need
A reliable inexpensive device to store everything so we can safely free up space.

Extra features
- Automatic Wi-Fi back up
- Free up old files
- Sort by dates/places/faces
- View all shared photos/albums in a single timeline
- Remove duplicates
- Snapshots
- Remote access
- Compact (fit next to router)
- Future-proof (storage, computer engeneering, video editing)

Other details
- Active devices: Android 12+ (Samsung), Windows 11
- Boycotting Amazon

What I think we need (after some research)
- A 4-bay NAS
- One 6 TB NAS drive (for now)
- A DAS plugged into the NAS (backup)
- A UPS
Is this overkill? Am I missing something? What would you recommend (hardware, software, advice, to save money short/long-term)?

Thank you very much for your support.
