Now using 6 yr old WD My Cloud EX2. Want to update to same size but all soldi state for long life. This NAS talks by wi-fi to all 5 Windows PC in my house (most W10 1 W 11). Used for data, files, photo storage. Desired extra feature (included in the original WS) is to be able to access data from anywhere via internet. Still want 2 drive (4 TB each) configured in RAID 0 for best data safety. Does this exist? Suggestions welcome.

Now use 6 yr old WD EX2 My Cloud with 8 TB (2 drives 4 TB each in RAI D 0). Want to upgrade to all solid state drives. NAS used to share data between 5 PC by WiFi. All Windows PC, 4 Win 10, 1 Win 11. Would like to be able to access data from anywhere by internet (a feature in the EX My Cloud). Does this type of equipment exist?

I watched your great videos, but I am still have an issue and couple of questions.

1. When I use windows network drive mapping, it does not accept any user / password combo.

2. When I use ACC, it opens file explorer, it does not connect and opens my local documents folder.

3. In the settings, In general & network section, do I enable IPv6? I don't see any other options that your video shows.

4. In the services settings, do I need to setup anything like SMB etc.?

Thanks,

Looking for a bit of advice again. I was going to buy 4x8TB HDD’s for my new Synology 930+ which I bought after watching your videos thankyou. My thought now is to buy 3x12TB Synology Hat 3300 HDD’s for storage and then 1 WD Red SA500 4TB SSD for running a virtual machine. What are your thoughts on the idea?
Kind regards

I am looking into getting a NAS for the first time. I mainly want to use it for media streaming from backed up blurays and 4k blurays, and potentially music storage as well (mostly flac/high quality mp3).

The main questions I would have would be how much ram would be adequate, would nvme caching be a noticeable benefit, and is hardware transcoding necessary? For streaming media, it would mostly be to some 4k roku based tcl tvs (from around 2018) and some Xbox consoles (one x and series x). I have mostly been looking at synology for the ease of use with software, but am worried that the newer models do not have dedicated gpus for transcoding.

I want to buy my first NAS, and i'm interested in the Seagate Ironwolf 12TB HDD's
On Amazon i can find that harddrive with model number ST12000VNZ008
The compatibility list of both Terra Master and Synology talks about model number ST12000VN0008
Are these drives interchangeable or should i be wary?

Hi!
Found your channel and website and love it. Really precise information. I'm about to spend money on a NAS unit and was leaning toward the DS1522+ or the DS923+. The 1522 was more appealing looking at the price difference, but it's black friday and New Egg now have that deal on 923+ taking it down from 900CAD to 670CAD. Comparing to the 1522+ at 970CAD. That 300$ difference makes me wonder if I should go with it...it's 300$ I can invest straight on HD. And since we're I'm in Canada, I have to add bunch of tax to those amount. Should I still pay the extra to get the 1522+ or is the 923+ with this price point a great deal.

Thanks

I have a QNAP TVS-873e and bought
2 x 16GB RAM from Crucial DDR4-2400 SODIMM 1.2V CL17
The NAS starts up and works, but the NAS is very slow.

I saw your YouTube video on this but I still struggle to understand what I have done wrong.

And I asked QNAP support, and they just dragged along this ticket to internity. I started the request for help in Aug 2023, and now we are almost in Dec 2023.

All they have done so far is "wing it" and asked me to take away the new RAM modules, and just used the 2 x 4GB RAM that was included in the purchase.

The RAM I bought was as good as I understood from QNAPs recommendation of the right RAM (table), but Im scared that I have purchased the wrong RAM.

So what could I do?

Hi, I'm looking for advice on the best NAS for me. Please see the bullet points below for how I hope to use it:
-Store personal/family files, documents, music, etc.
-Store and share photos/videos (Like Google Photos)
-Heavy use of Plex in 4k - I'm considering buying a Plex Pass so I can watch Plex content on my devices in the future

Just hoping for something low maintenance and powerful enough for the next 5-10 years. I think I'd only need 2-bays, and I would buy 2 X 8-12 TB drives, storing everything on the 1st and just using the 2nd for backup (Redundancy).

After reading some of the articles on your site, I think the DS224+ or DS723+ will work best for me, but I also don't want to break the bank if I don't need the +series.

Any advice would be very appreciated, thanks!

Mike

I saw your video that the TS-464 is the all around best but I am looking for more storage so I am considering the TS-664 with WD 20 TB or 22 TB NAS Red Pro Drives set to RAID 1 (3x3). My question is would the 664 be a good option for Plex? If so how do you setup Plax and RAID options on the NAS?
