I have a DS920+ and the plex app on that one has stopped working so I am getting a different devisen for my hard drives. While im getting a new one I wanted to get one with 5 or more bays for extra hard drives and wondered which NAS would be perfect for me.

Also wondered what hard drives you would recommend. I have 2 Toshiba 16 terabyte nas hard drives and wonder if you would recommend getting more of the same brand or if another one would work better?

Hi, I would like to buy something which can be use as server some sort. I'm Apple guy so mostly I will use Macbook Pro or Studio as workstation. I use Avid Media Composer and Adobe CC, Nuke etc. My camera can produce 4k raw footage so it should be able to handle those files well. I do not plan to use my "server" for other users exept myself. For me would be perfect solution super fast drive for editing connected to big media storage accesible all the time and some other long archive solution, can be LTO or another big storage. Can you please give me some solution? There is about a lot of products and my brain just can't handle any of new informatoin. I spent monts searching but I don't trust the Internet exept your channel. Thanks for any advice.

Hi All,

I am comtemplating which NAS to upgrade to from my DS920+.
I am currently stuck between the DS1621+ and the DS1821+.
I also saw the recent YouTube video about the DS423+ and it got me thinking if I should wait for a DS162(x)+ and/or a DS182(x)+ (Not sure if there will be a 24 series this year or not)
My concern with the newer models is that Synology may decide to lock the types of HDD that can used with the newer models.

Functionality wise, I will most likely continue to use the NAS as a VPN, Docker and Media server for the family.

I would like to get your opinions and advice of this matter.
Thank you.

Hi,

I was wondering if you could please review the below motherboard from Alibaba:

https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Piesia-Motherboard-Intel12th-Generation-Alder-Lake_1601058921737.html?spm=a2700.galleryofferlist.normal_offer.d_title.66fa60dfLoxh7j

Seems like a really good motherboard with 8 sata connectors + 3 M.2 & a PCIe_X16 slot.

If possible, please also advise the right CPU for this as I would use my NAS for mostly media storage.

Been watching NASCompares on YT several years and now finally taken the plunge with a Flashstor 6 upgraded to 16 gb ram. Followed the NasCompres YT tutorial and installed TN Scale 23.10.2. Fine until os boot, did not give an IP address error msg ‘The web interface could not be accessed’ ‘please check network configuration’. Rebooted multiple times trying different combinations of connection. Used supplied 2.5 gbe cables that came with FS06. I don’t have 2.5 GB ethernet on my Win10 laptop or Ubuntu NUC so using Cable Masters 2.5 GBE to USB 3 adapter to connect to either computer. Also tried FS06 to 2.5 gbe on my EE router to try via WIFI. Nothing worked and haven’t found any clues scouring the internet. Do I need to use a computer that has a 2.5 gbe port to get this to work or is there something else that I am missing?

Hello, I've been binging your videos and subscribed. I purchased a QNAP TS 264 but cancelled the order as I feel the Celeron N9095 is old and weak now to purchase new.

I would like to be able to perfectly stream HVEC and I notice this CPU struggles a bit with that on QNAP

Dear Sir/Madam,

The hard drives of my nas are full. I only have 70 gb of storage capacity left. Therefore, I want to buy a new hard drive. This one:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eeo1C4cwCh8XRzauPgInBIST9tPDrexm/view?usp=sharing

My question:
Its not in the synology recommended compatible list. Is that a problem?
I would like to know:


1. if the drive I want to buy is suitable for my Nas. And

2. if it will work well with the hard drives already in my nas. (see picture)

3. Also, I would like to know if this hard drive is recommended and if not, which drive I would be better off buying without spending too much.

4. Also I would like to know, if this drive I want to buy now is as fast as the hard drives already in my nas or if I would buy a cheaper but slow drive now. After all, that is not the intention.

I would be very happy if you could help me ;-)


Regards,


Rik

Hi!
I about to upgade to a newer NAS some time in the near furure and was considering all SSD based system. I was just wondering because NAS for me anyways is goint to used for severral years (my current Asustor NAS is 7 years old now) what is your take on SATA SSD drive future? Currently there is no spec wise a system that would satisfy me. Asustor flastorage is near ideal ideal (because of NVME and lots of drivebays) QNAP TBS-h574TX great cpu, but lack of drivebays.

Hardware wise (CPU, drivebays etc. because of transcoding) QNAP TVS-h874 would be perfect but, I am a bit wary on those SATA SSD and are they going to be hard to come by or be obsolete in the furure. Of course i know they are going to be obsolete somewhere in time, but timeline is a bit uncertain.

So basically is going down to SATA SSD route, in your oppinion, goin to a mistep in the long run?

Also thanks for you contet on youtube etc.!

And, sorry aboyt my english, is not my native language.

Hi,

I have a qnap running the latest QTS. I've upgraded to 8GB ram
Bay 1 : 3TB, bay 2 : 4TB. → RAID THICK volume (WD red drives)

I've recently setup Qumagie with AI core, but its so slow I'm aging as I wait for images to load. I found the UI to generally very slow and un responsive . Im runing 2x apps in the virtual stations and 3 containers. Im considering adding a PCIE expansion card to allow me to add an additional M.2 SSD slot and then a 500gb ssd where I want to load all my apps and run QTS. Will this solve my issue or am I better off upgrading my NAS to something newer that includes a PCIE or consider switching to Synology ? Adding a Expansion card and M.2 is going to be a $300 AUD exercise and Im not entire sure if it will provide me with the benefits I need to fully embrace moving off the cloud and running apps locally. Currently my QNAP is just too slow to do anything with it.

Thanks - greatly apprecaited

Hi there,

Finally got here through your awesome videos. Thanks so much for all the work you put out there in information. I am super confused after days and countless hours of research. I need a NAS-DAS 8 bay system. I originally thought the QNAP TS-873A-8G Business High End 8-Bay NAS Server was a good option but later realised that it cannot just be upgraded with a PCI E card to be Thunderboilt accessible as a DAS. Mostly my needs are for directly attached storage but occasionally sharing files over the network or the internet is needed too. Could you please advise on my options for the best and most affordable solutions out there? QNAP? Terra master? Others? Also a bit scared of all the ransomware stories out there but mostly plan to be disconnected from the web. Any help through this minefield would be super appreciated.

Cheers,

Pedro.
