Is there such a thing as an adapter that I can plug into an 1821+ USB port to provide 10GBe (RJ45) connectivity?

FWIW: I am currently using a Synology PCIe 10GBe NIC and the port(s) above would be in addition to this NIC.

I'm looking to add a large media server to my home network.

A dedicated 16-bay NAS, like the QNAP TVS-h1688X would have been perfect at 2,000 USD, but as its currently selling for 3,000 USD that's a hard no for me.

To save costs, I'm thinking of a TrueNAS Scale system, based on a QNAP TL-D1600S and a Minisforum MS-01 workstation.

I have no doubt that with 96GB of DDR5, the MS-01 would do great managing 2/3 ZFS vdevs. My main concern is the connection between the PC and the JBOD. I'm not familiar with SAS and SFF-8088 cables.

1) What's more important for a media server - latency or throughput?
2) What would be the bottleneck of this system - SFF-8088 cables, OS overhead, or maybe something completely different?

Thanks in advance,
Arjestin

Hello,
I just got a DS1522+ running DSM 7.2.1.
After installing Web Station I tried to run a "Hello World!" test web page and it did work as expected.
But when I added to the index.html file the following: "<?PHP phpinfo(); ?>" to validate the PHP support, I didn't see any PHP related details coming out. PHP 7.x and 8.x seem to be installed and running.
When I open the index.html test page with a Chrome developer tool I see my PHP code got changed and commented out:
<!-- ? php phpinfo(); ?--!>

Did I miss any step for having PHP properly running and supported?
Thanks in advance
Fabio

I have a new 723+ and an older WD My Cloud EX2 that I will be using as a backup.

Can we see a detailed tutorial or article on backing up a Synology NAS DSM 7 to an WD My Cloud EX2 NAS with 5.28 firmware?

The WD supposedly supports rSync but not through the interface. It must be done via SSH.

Hi My name is Amin, I am wondering if you can advise me on a few thing on the 12 bay Asustor flash nas Features I have been going through some videos of yours which have quite formative and very helpful thank you for those videos.

I have been going through the videos and I am trying to figure out how do I repair a degraded/ faulty SSD. As for Synology you required to repair a faulty/degraded drive manually by actioning it. I am wandering would this be the same for the Asustor flash Nas. can you please make a video on this for me we'll be much appreciate it or provide me a with a step by step instructions that would be great also thank you

Secondly I wondering if I purchased 2 Asus flash store nas The first one would be used as a primary use and the second one as the backup. I am wondering if my primary Nas get damaged therefore I would be required to replace it for a third one can you explain how i can restore the file from the backup nas and use my new nas as my primary nas as

I need two bash functions as follows...
CreateVLAN()
DeleteVLAN()

These functions must run fully unattended, and must never require a reset or reboot of the switch.

I am a noob to programmable switches. Could you recommend what switches that could support such functionality? Does higher level software exist that would support this functionality over multiple brands of switches?

Thanks!

Hello, do you have an estimate for when the N5 will be available?

Hi, thanks for the great videos and information provided via YouTube.

Am on the cusp of buying a synolgy nas. Budget does not permit me to fully populate each bay from day one so that will occur in stages. To start I will be using what I have already so the question is....

If I install a mix of drives (1x 12TB & 2 x 8TB drives) I know that I can create a raid 5 array based on the smallest drives (8TB). That would in effect leave 4TB. unused on the 14TB drive. Can I use this 4TB in any way, a separate pool, logical drive or what?
Hope that makes sense.

Thank you

I moved from WD External HD to a Synology NAS. I now have 2 8TB and 2 6TB of external hard drives available to us as back up for my NAS. I can &quot;shuck&quot; the drives and possibly use a Orico 4 bay and plug it in to another network computer. Or should I consider one of the NAS case builds like Jonsbo/ Here's my first idea: https://www.amazon.com/ORICO-Docking-Station-Duplicator-Black/dp/B07G2WRB97/

Hi!
I'm planning on building a Jonsbo N3-build. Main usage will be media storage and Plex Server.
Just ordered three 18TB drives, since I've already got one. Planning to use these in a raidz1, giving me about 50TB to start with.

Was pretty set for a build as follows.

• Gigabyte B760I Aorus PRO, 4x sata ports and 2x m.2 (one which could be used for additional sata ports in the future)
  
• Intel Core i5-12400
  
• 1x32GB of ram
  
• be quiet! SFX Power 3 450W
  
• 1TB nvme drive as boot drive.
