Asustor EZ Sync 2-way with backup mode |
Posted by: Baz - 01-11-2024, 11:00 PM - Forum: Technical Support

Could someone please help me resolve this?
I have set up a two-way sync with EZ Sync. But I want to ensure that EZ Sync does not automatically delete files on the NAS when they are deleted on the PC, and so I now wish to enable the "Enable Backup Mode" option on the 2-way sync I have set up with EZ Sync.
Could someone please tell me where I find that "Enable Backup Mode" option in EZ Sync? I have searched, but cannot find it.
I'm stuck at this point as I don't want to lose files but don't know how to correct this. I'm hoping I don't have to redo the 2-way sync from scratch...
Any help appreciated.
Thank you.

Plex Home theater/ Streaming NAS Advice |

Hi,
I am working on putting together a NAS for both my 4K HDR home theater and to also to be used a streaming server for other family members. as I will be taking everyone's currently owned physical media and burning it to be part of the NAS.
I also figured that i may store some other files on it, as a personal google drive of sorts but that would be less than 1tb and not the first priority.
For my home theater I will am running the Nvidia Shield Pro as the media player. But I also want to be able to use the server outside the home preferably 4K stream but idk if that is possible for the budget.
I have already have a single 18tb drive, a single 20tb drive, plus a 500gb NVME from other projects that I will be using.
My goal is to have the highest quality streaming to the theater itself, then stream in the highest quality possible from outside the house that stays in budget.
What devices do you suggest I take a look at? Thank you.

Gave my daughter old synology ds15j, clean wipe. Plug in to her sky router no flashing lights on the lan or on Ethernet cable, so laptop shows nothing. Using same Ethernet cable plug nas directly to laptop everything is fine proving nas & Ethernet cable is ok. It’s like the router is blocking the nas. I have a new synology & ok, old one works on my router ok, just my daughters sky router nothing, ideas ?

Hey,
I am looking for a NAS with SSD (preferably nvme) storage support, which allows me to store photos and videos from my phone on it. And ehave asy access to these from our phones or TV.
Next, I also would like to use SABnzb to download some 4K videos at 900+ MB/s to my NAS.
Which ones would you recommend?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Diogo

Using WD Red & Ironwolf Pro together |

G'Day
I have purchased a Synology DS1522+ with 2 x 12tb Ironwolf pro HDD. Still waiting for it to arrive. In the meantime, I'd like to ask if when setting it up, I can also add 2 x 10tb WD Red drives to increase the capacity. The drives were bought a few years back, but were never installed for use. Are the 2 types of drives able to be installed together, and will it cause any problems?
Cheers

I live in a rural brick home with Starlink internet. I plan to run 2 Ethernet ports in 7 rooms within 1 month. I want to have internet in my workshop 50 yards away.
1. What Ethernet cable, CAT5e or CAT6?
2. Managed or unmanaged network? Brand?
3. Starlink router or new router?

Drive tray stuck |

I have just purchased a new DS1522+ and prior to permanently setting it up was running through various tutorials. I removed a drive tray and drive to simulate a drive failure intending to check the process through. This is when things went wrong.
Having removed the drive from the tray I pushed the tray back in but had not refitted the drive securing strips, the drive tray went too far in and it now firmly stuck. I can now see drive securing strips hit a couple of raised lugs in the back of the DS to stop this happening.
Has anyone else been this daft and sorted it out. I guess I can probably cut through the tray and release it but that is far from my plan.
Any good ideas welcomed, I don't need beating up about this, I have already beat myself up enough.
Thanks
Steve

Can someone advise a QNAP replace for a Synology |
Posted by: richtheace - 01-10-2024, 04:11 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A

I'm seeking advice on finding a suitable QNAP replacement for my current setup:
* Synology DS1522+ with a DX517.
* Fitted with 1 x 2.5" SSD.
* 2 x NVMe.
* 9 x 3.5" HDD in RAID 6.
* 10Gb NIC.
* My software setup includes running; Win 10 in a VM (JUST for Amazon photo backup).
* Radarr, Sonarr, with a VPN in a Synology VM
* DS Audio (for music in the car).
* Jellyfin.
* DS Cam
* DS Photo (AKA Photos, for iPhone photo/video backup).
I also have my USB label printer connected, with the Synology acting as a print server.
I've been told that this print server function might not work well on QNAP.
Furthermore, I've upgraded the RAM myself and encountered an error message about non-Synology recommended memory modules. Despite running a memory check that returned all fine after a test, I keep getting a 'Checksum mismatch' on Synology even with new drives. Additionally, Jellyfin struggles with on-the-fly hardware re-encoding.
This was not a cheap unit, and I've also lost the Seagate extra testing option.
I've been eyeing the 16-Bay QNAP models, specifically the TS-1655, which fits my budget. It comes with 2 x NVMe, 4 x 2.5", and 12 x 3.5", & 2.5Gb NIC.
I appreciate any recommendations for a QNAP unit that would suit my needs. Can someone also confirm if adding an Nvidia 1650TI for enhanced graphical capabilities, especially with Jellyfin, is feasible?
I fell a little dishearten with Synology as I've been with them years coming from 1 Bay models, to 2, 4, 5, 8, and now with the expansion unit 10 bays and I fell they are dropping the ball for price to performance/features.
Looking forward to your valuable input!
Cheers Rich

new hard drive |

Hello, I have been running at home a synology DS918+ for several years already, but I need more space and I want to replace the 4 drives in it before they start giving problems. My question is, which new drives would you recommend me to buy for home use? I need each drive to be 18-20TB at least, and I would like them to be quiet. Money budget should not be an issue and I do not need the best performance. Thank you very much for your advice.
Pau
