Very good video comparing 723 and 224. I wanted to reward you buy clicking on the link to buy, but couldn't find it. Please send me the links to various sales sites.

Thanks.

currently i have a plex media server set-up on my laptop and i use that to occasionally stream photos and videos from the laptop to my tv's. however, this means that the laptop has to stay on 24/7 and the machine is not handling that well.. what would be the best solution for a large storage device that i can stream videos to my tv's (plex works great so prefer to keep that unless you have a better solution).. Also, is it better take put in HDD or SSD for this use to keep noise down?

Very interested in using the Jonsbo N2 case. Trying to figure out what ITX motherboard to purchase? Would like to keep it at or below $200. I'd also like to install a 10Gb NIC.

This is what I have in PCPartPicker so far: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pGK9HG

Along with a SFX 400W PSU from Amazon at $30.

Dear NasCompares,

I recently watched your informative and educational YouTube video and found it incredibly helpful. I am currently preparing to embark on a digital nomad lifestyle and am in search of a suitable Sim Powered WiFi router that meets my specific needs.

As a call center employee transitioning to remote work, my primary requirements include a reliable, strong connection to ensure that my calls do not drop, as well as a quiet dedicated workspace. Since portability is not a concern for me, I am seeking a router that prioritizes stability and performance for my stationary workspace.

Considering my requirements, could you kindly recommend a Sim Powered WiFi router that aligns with my needs for a stable connection and a conducive working environment?

I greatly appreciate your expertise in this area and look forward to your guidance.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Luke

Cleaned up & PLEX prepared my 16,540 videos. No 4K or above. primarily 780 & 1080p. I want to reset my nas (used to just get a taste) I want to set up my volume for 3x10TB, 1x10TB for all my MS Office stuff, and the 5th drive as a hot spare. Raid will be SHR but which one? I back up monthly to transportable 5 TB WB Elements as store off sight (they fit in my small deposit box at my bank) Please review and advise if I should do anything different. Thanks!

If I increase the memory on my DS1821+ to 64gb is it then possible to increase the Volume size beyond 100tb to say 200tb?

If so, can this be done with the existing current Volume? Should I happen to expand the storage pool appropriately in the future. Larger drives are becoming more commonplace and will be great if or when I start to run out of storage space.

I’m only thinking of future proofing long-term really, nothing immediate. Right now it might be possible to load up the DS1821+ with 8 24tb drives = a 192tb storage pool. Might be nice to have this in one large Volume?

Thanks

Which Qnap is able to let me edit photos from anywhere via WLAN using Capture One and/or Affinity Photo?
Thanks a lot for your support.

I have a Synology DS223J. When powered on, I get a blue flashing light, and nothing else.
Synology UK are not interested!
Can I get a replacement motherboard, repair, anything?
Or do I just throw it away and start again?
Help!!!

Qnap ts-464c2-8g VS Synology DS 423 Which one is better

I discussed Home Office plus Home NAS among friends and came up with needs and surprisingly found no product. A NAS built into Homelab, say Truenas over Proxmox with following features...high processor and RAM to handle both Homelab, office and home loads, works without airconditioner, low power consumption using NVME or SSD drives, has high capacity and is extensible by using an external chassis box (using either pcie or thunderbolt 4) holding more drives. Would like to see you discussing this on YouTube.
