Hi need help selecting the right router for a very unique project of mine? Thanks..

PLS GUIDE WHICH NAS IS BEST (EVEN IF PRICE IS HIGHER) FOR HOME USE. I WANT LATEST SOFTWARE FAST SPEED IE if I want to access my NAS for accessing and downloading my data from/to NAS when I am out of my house and I need that it should be very fast. Pls guide whether qnap ts 262 two bays or Asustor AS 5402T OR AS 6702 would be better. I am ready to pay higher price for the premium product which must be latest launch and with latest technology. Whether the abovementioned NAS can be used for home use or specially they are made and can only be used for business. Kindly guide and suggest out of the above Nas or any other Nas you may so deem fit for my home above requirement. Thank you so much in advance. Would be grateful for your guidance.

Please help. I wanted to upgrade a drive in my JBOD Synology 423 NAS, I copied all the media from it onto another drive on the NAS, took the drive out then got a warning that the drive was no longer present when I turned in back on it beeped and told me the drive was no longer present. I deleted the drive from the NAS only to then realise I'd taken out the wrong drive,
I haven't lost any info. It's now just on a BTRFS drive that I can't access. Is there anyway I can get the media copied to another drive. I've tries WINbtrfs but can't get it working on my laptop.

Good day to all!
I am looking for A recommendation for a Synology Nas to include Storage to be used primarily as a Plex media server incorporating Sonarr, Radarr etc. I will be playing locally most of the time but maybe occasionally stream outside home but that is not a priority. Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!!!

I was in the market for a new NAS to replace my Synology 413J. I had decided on the 2 bay synology 224+, but after watching your video comparing the 423+ you persuaded me that it had to be a 4Bay the 423+. I then came across your video on the comparison between the Synology 423+ and the 923+ confused again. After a lot of thought it’s the Synology 923+ which I’ve ordered on Amazon earlier today. I want to upgrade the ram with a 16GB module ( not Synology)
I’ve seen the Kingston Server Premier 16GB 2666MT/s ECC CL19 SODIMM 2Rx8 Hynix
D- KSM26SED8/16HD, it recieved excellent reviews on Amazon. What’s your thoughts, have you any other suggestions? By the way I tried ordering through your link, but it didn’t work. I really appreciate your videos and help.
Kind regards

I’ve been watching your videos, and I must admit I’m so confused. I started with aDS243+ then the DS723+, but now I’m going to buy a 4 bay model after watching your DS 423+ video. Then I saw the 923+ video, the DS 923+ is only around €80 more and you get an extra 4GB ram as well as the other upgrades you don’t get with the 423+. It seems as if the DS 923+ is mode future proof. It’s processor with integrated graphics I’m not sure about. I have an old DS413J at the moment and I use video, audio and surveillance station with my iPhone sometimes, but not that much, and I have software to change the video files just want to be future proofed as much as I can. Can you give me a bit of advice. As I’ve mentioned earlier the price difference is only around €80, and that's less than the cost of upgrading the ram on the DS423+

I have decided to buy a Synology 423+ NAS. At the moment I have a Synology 413J with 4 WD red 3TB hdd’s. The Diskstation has been turned on 24/7 for the last 10 years with the original Hdd’s, so I trust WDReds. Now it has come to my attention that the new WD Red plus hdd’s show a warning in the Synology diskstations. I have also watched your video on the subject. It’s also mentioned that the firmware is not updated. It seems that Synology only want there own drives fitted into there devices. WD Reds have been around for a long time and have -roved there worth. Does it matter about updating the firmware on the drives, and are people still putting WD reds in there diskstations or are people being more or less forced into buying Synology hdd’s. Can you give me your opinion. I’m not really sure if this problem still exists or is it something most people can live with. As an example my WD reds have never had the firmware updated, but maybe it’s more important with the newer drives.

Looked at OWC ThunderBay 4 RAID 5 with Dual Thunderbolt 3 (but their SoftRAID XT is software and requires payment after warranty),
QNAP TR-004 (but connection is USB 3.2 Gen 1), and even QNAP TS-464-8G-US (yes, I know it's a NAS, but the money was about the same as the ThunderBay). Also looking for reliability. Synology was on the list, but their AMD chipset is concerning.

I am searching for a media storage solution with redundant backup/recovery for critical video files. That, at the same time, enables me to edit 10-bit 4K UHD video (Encoded in Apple ProRes 422 at 30 frames per second. Depending on the event or assignment, the resulting files can be as much as 350GB or more. Sharing projects for approval is also a must. Currently, I am using OneDrive by uploading the file, but it has limitations.

I must keep the original digital negative for potential use in the future. I use a Mac mini M1 with 10GB Ethernet.

I only recently learned about NAS devices and this website and did a deep dive. I looked at Synology, QNAP, and TerraMaster. The Terra Master T9-450 seems to fit the bill. With 2024 just around the corner, would you still recommend a NAS device for editing video and storage? How does the T9-450 compare?

I believe I have decided to stick to synology since they are highly rated and seem to work seemlessly with their apps and hardware. I have a wired home network with 4 computers on it. We have 5 phones and two remote PC's. All I really want to do is automatically backup the data on each of these devices (photos, documents, and home movies). DS224+ or a 4 Bay? After initial data input, use will be small. What do you suggest? 2 Bays seems simple, everything backed up to one of the drives and the second drive copies the first for redundancy...?
