Dear Sir/Ma'am,

is there a place or a way , where i can make a product request
for minis forum
a combi card

(4 × 10GbE SFP+ ) + 3 * [3 * (44 NVMe SSD)]
or
(2 × 10GbE SFP+ ) + [3 (44 NvMe SSD)]


I have a MINISFORUM 795S7 (AMD Ryzen™ 9 7945HX (795S7))
with 88 or 444*4 bifurcation supported

so now as the Desktop is aging , i wanted to convert it into a NAS

I have a quadro p1000 for transcoding but its playing up have you got another recommendation or should i stick with this?

I scan and all paper, ie. contracts, bank statements, receipts, etc., I have a large movie library of 600+ movies in 4k, I backup 2, 3 iPhones, & 1 iPad. I am moving about 1Tb of old pix from HDDs to NAS. I want to backup files from anywhere on any of my devices, I want to access any of my files/scans from anywhere and to share them, and I want to stream my movies from anywhere, currently I use Plex on my iPad and smart TVs, however, I am open to replacing Plex with something else that doesn't require a paid subscription to download movies for offline viewing while traveling. I currently have a QNAP TVS 473e with an AMD RX 421BD QuadCore 2.1GHz CPU with Radeon AMD R7 graphics, 8Gb of memory, 2 8T Seagate NAS drives in Raid 1, and an external 12T HD to backup the NAS data.

I read the review on the QNAP TBS-h574TX-i5-16G-US, I like that it's small sizet, but I don't know the transcoding performance. I am open to recommendations that fit my use case and need. Thank you.

WOW! Just watched your “What is SSD Caching and Should You Bother On Your NAS?” video from four years ago and it remains applicable today, thanks. I am setting up a DXP4800 Plus and have two 2T 990 Pro SSDs. I am a home user with a small business. I am debating on the SSD setup. I am even thinking about using the SSDs as a volume for quick access with some sort of automatic syn to the main hard drives. I am far away from being knowledgeable in this field and would appreciate your input.

I'm planning to buy a Jonsbo N6 case. Before doing so, I'd like to understand how the power connectors work. The N6 has two SATA power connectors and two Molex connectors. I'm considering using the Corsair SF850(2024) power supply. This power supply has three output ports (and therefore three cables): SATA power and PATA. How should I connect these three cables correctly? Can I connect the two SATA power cables and a single Molex cable, leaving the last Molex connector free? Or is it better to connect it to the second Molex connector (in series) on the same cable? I plan to install four hard drives, each drawing approximately 25 watts at startup, placed anywhere in the case. My BIOS doesn't allow me to delay the drive startup times. Will this approach allow me to meet the power requirements of all nine drives? Thank you in advance for your advice.

Hello Sir,

I have a 1821+ and want a simple local back up for it. I was thinking about an external 8 bay enclosure. Simple and not expensive. Now a friend has an old 1817. Is this a better option in my case or does not add more? Also I read to 1817 does not have btrfs. I read on the synology website that this is important for a back up. Does it matter for me?

So is it better to use the old 1817 with no btrfs as a local back up plan or is a cheap external enclosure enough and more simple?

Thank you for your advice!

Hi guys, thank you for the time.
I basically just want to replace my family and my google cloud/ icloud payment service and have us all on a nas.
Most of us only use cloud storage for photos and videos. It would be nice if the file upload is very synced and easy to use across platforms like Google Drive.
I saw the ugreen which everyone pretty much suggests but maybe i dont even need all of its features. So what do you think? I said under 200 just because I thought of 5 people or so but if it's possible to have lets say around 10 people ofc budget changes.
Thank you so much,
Manu

I have two NAS a DS425+ and a DS918+ I want to put one in each of our houses and share photos. So each house will have their own users with separate personal photo spaces to back up their phones (two people per household) and (this is the tricky bit) have common shared folders that can be viewed by all users.

In my mind I have a set of shared folders that are copied from one NAS to the other by Xcopy or Rsync or something - but would it be easier to have one of the NAS as the dedicated sharing server (call that house A)? If that's the case how the people in house B access it and how do they choose photos in their personal space on server B to move to the shared space.

Part of my is thinking that having ONE NAS in the location with the fiber connected internet (house A) as the photo server for everyone but at the same time I want each house to have their own photos server.

I have plans to have a third server as a backup device to backup photos from both NAS, a question for later.

I am looking for an outdoor Camera that is WiFi wireless and battery powered that works with
My ASUSTOR Surveillance program
