I hope to find a nas

I've had my AS-302T for several years now, and although it still works fine, I think it's time to upgrade. 

Before I invest in a new (probably DIY) NAS, I would like to see if the AS-302T can be upgraded in any way.  I've searched far and wide (that's how I ended up on NAS Compares!), but haven't found anything about upgrades for the Asustor AS-302T yet.  I doubt I'd be able to do anything about the hardware (RAM specifically), but perhaps a change of OS??

Anyways, any help / pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks!
 
BTW - Currently running with 2 x WD Red 6Tb HDDs

I'm planning to buy the Exos 20TB but I'm very afraid from the noise that I read about online. Is it really that loud? Are there are any 3.5" enclosures that reduces the sound emission?
I'm planning to use a single drive, I'm open to max of two.
SSDs are very expensive for me.
What's your advise? Thanks!

Hi guys,

I'm looking for some advice. I'm researching the best NAS setup for our company, we're planning to implement this next year. We're currently using Google Drive and are editing directly from it and it has run its course. We are currently with 3 video editors that need to be able to work from the NAS at the same time (not the same files), and need to be able to access it from home. We're working with 4k 10bit footage, so I'm thinking 10gbe ports connected directly to the NAS. Is the best Multi-Video Editor NAS: QNAP TVS-h874T our way to go or is there a cheaper option for our use case? And in case I want maximum speed and a single backup, how much drives of x TB and in what kind of RAID setup would you recommend?

If you need any more info, don't hesitate to ask. Thank you so much!

Hi there. I am following your guide for video editing on a NAS - An Idiot's guide. I am looking at how to connect to a Mac using an iSCSi initiator. your guide predominantly refers to connecting to a PC with some reference to Mac. I have downloaded the Kernsafe initiator and am in the process of setting it up. It has now asked me to identifty and connect to a target drive. In doing so it has indicated i need to Initialise the NAS "drive". I had set up a 1 TB target lun.

I am concerned how this will impact the NAS (1019+ - set up with just one volume across the 5 drives. synology hybrid raid) - ie if i format the drive for apple, how will this work ? will it work or will it adversely impact the NAS ? what format should I use ? Am I setting it up correctly at all ?

thanks Mike

Hi,
Please, has anybody tried QNAP HS-264 with Coral USB accelerator for AI? Has it been properly recognised by the device and utilized within QuMaggie (for faster image recognition)?
Many thanks for your insigjts.

Good morning! I'm looking to upgrade my potato NAS (based on a 2015 NUC with USB hard drive and network card connections). My use case is mostly Immich for family photos and videos, Jellyfin media streaming, and some light file movement with SMB/Nextcloud. My goal is snappy, avoiding CPU bottleneck for downloads and transcodes (usually 2/2 subtitle burn in or Immich videos), and some room for upgrades in the future. I've got the following build down to $600 on Amazon (own storage already) https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FgY4xH. Is this overkill? Is it weighted in the wrong places? And I know the limitations of the N4 from your videos, I just love the look and size. Thanks for any help!

I bought and built my own home NAS setup a few years back. It all seems to be working although I am not sure how I managed... (your videos helped!).

I now just wanted to add two NEW 12TB drives to my slots but wanted to ensure that I was doing it correctly for sure this time. I want to split 1 dual drive and use it solely for PLEX and the other solely for storage.

I wanted tobuy a session but I don't have the bread and I don't guess I need a full one hour Zoom session either. But I would like some eyes on my system somehow. I don't just have one question/problem. Just a bunch of little questions

Example: I never changed my HTTPS port because I'm scared like a little girl.

Just some Q&A would be good. Or how can I get you all of the information you need in order to look at my setup and tell me what I can do better or best? thanks,! Todd Kramer

Made a mistake bought 4 8tb wd DC hc320 drives for 200. Thought was sata. Are they just a mistake or is there a solution. Was hoping to use for plex server but now think $$ down the drain.

Searching for DIY NAS Parts for Jonsbo N3 or N4. Need a IDLE Power cons. of 9-14W!
Engery in Germany is really expensive...
Thought about Topton N100? It needs to run sometimes max 2 VM (light weight linux distros often). But I need min. 2 Ethernetports and Docker for must also run on the hardware?
THANKS!
