Hi! I'm just wondering whether you've heard anything from Zima regarding when their ZimaCube Pro will come back in stock, or perhaps if an updated version is in the works? I’ve reached out to Zima about this a few times during the year, but I've never gotten a reply from them. Thanks!

Hi NAS Compares

I have a DS416j and i want to use it ONLY as a backup device, to be connected by USB only, to my Terramaster f6-424 max.

Am using the f6-424 max as a plex server only.

The DS416J will only be powered on when I want to run back ups (every 1 or 2 months).

Is this possible?

1. Briefly, if possible, how should I configure DS416J to function for this set up?

2. What type of backup app / function should I use for this set up on the f6-424 max?

Or is there another better option that I should be exploring?

Sooooooo many thanks .... in advance!

Hi, I would like to ask your recommendation in buying NAS.
I’m completely new with NAS storage system and doesn’t have any experience in IT fields, so I can say I’m completely blind with all these things  

I currently use Google Drive & Youtube to store my work-related files. 
Now I’m considering to buy UGreen DXP4800 Plus or Synology DS925+

Primarily, I would like to use NAS to:
1. Store my work related things so I can access it anywhere across different devices
2. Allow my team to access work related files anywhere through a shared link (without the need to create account for them), just like a simple link sharing in google drive.
3. Backing up photos & videos from my iphone so I can have more capacity in my phone.
4. Storing & securing my client’s personal data from breach, but I still can access them when I need to.
5. Using Plex/Jellyfin application to store training videos & allowing my team to access it like netflix (but with training video) anywhere & anytime by sharing link (like youtube) -> is it possible?

Please give me insight on those two 4-bay NAS.
And is it possible for a NAS to handle those 5 things?

Thanks in advance.

Hello. I used to have a QNAP TS-569 PRO who died recently...
So now i have to find a new one to mainly store my pictures and movie libraries. What NAS would you recommend between the TS-673A, TS-855X and TVS-H674? Budget aside as i'm really looking long-term.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,

I would purchase a DS925+ if I can set it up with Seagate drives without too much trouble.

Can you confirm it's easy/possible?

Thanks,

I just setup a 3x24TB shr1 volume in my new DS1825+. Since I will eventually populate it with more drive, up to 8, and larger (today it could be 28TB if I wanted), I am wondering how can I quickly and safely add bigger drives and convert to shr2. I understand that I need 4 drive minimum for shr2 and if I add less then 4 bigger drives I will lose space. My question is on the process to do it; I know how to calculate SHR1 & SHR2 volume capacity based on drives size.

I have a warning in my Data on my NAS. SSD cache group 1 is missing, but the datas is still accessable, because only SSD-caches with read only access use the cache groups capacity. We recommend that you remove all SSD caches, that allocate the capacity from this cache group, then create a new cache group. Can you tell me if I should simply remove the ssd cache then replace it back into the NAS to create a new group?
Synology Hybrid Raid(SHR) with data protection for 1 Disk Fault Tolerance.

I've bought a synology NAS DS223 with 2 2tb drives. I want to set it up in a bulletproof way so that I can run my mac time machine on it and also run a plex media server for all my music and video. Mostly music. I will also want to be able to access it once in a while remotely from work, but that is less important than being able to stream my music and video and having a safe backup.

I can't find reliable information on the ability to directly connect over thunderbolt to the ugreen NAS's that have thunderbolt ports (such as the 6800 pro or DXP480T). There is conflicting info on forums that range from this isn't supported, to this is supported but you need to do a bunch of advanced command line stuff, to it works great). I'd also be interested to understand what kind of speeds can be obtained like this, particularly can you do better than the 10 gbs over ethernet. I bet it would make a popular video by the way. Love the YouTube channel! I contact ugreen chat support and they didn't know and never got back to me!

I run a small business with Grafical design, Foto and print preperation.

We are 2-3 employies and our data load is app 1-1.5 TB at the moment without backup of our 2-3 workmachines.

We use Google drive (2tb), Onedrive and office today.

Privatly i would like to use plex, photostorage 4 persone iphone with photo sync, music and store private documente.

Is the above the correct choice og is there better alternatives.

Thank you for your help
