I have two QNAP 3 bay NA's which one is the main NAS (TS-351 2x500gb nvme and 3x2tb) and the other a backup TS-328 (3x2tb) Both raid 5. I have just decomissioned a Synology DS414 due to age with 2x2tb and 2x1gb running SHR. I was looking to perhaps get a little more space from looking at potentially upgrading my main nas to a 4 or 5 bay and changing the TS351 to backup (probably just a raid 0 although I don't like that idea as there is no failure tolerance). I do back up to several other sources too. So what I am looking for is a sensible file store option to I can move on the DS414 and the TS-328 but I don't need a media server as I have a mini pc for that and something I can re-use the NVME in and also add the 2x2tb to to up my space.
I am wary of synology now due to compatability of non synology drives but loved the SHR which meant I could fill it with spre disks as an extra backup before I got cloud storeage and local storage on other devices. what would you recommend I look at?

I have a Lenovo NAS EMC px6-300d. It's probably about 10 years old. Is it capable of running a Google drive Shared Cloud?

Firstly, I enjoy watching your videos. However, I am facing a dilemma. I use my 40TB wdPr4100 for my small business, file storage, and Plex. It's time to upgrade, but I am confused about what to get. Should I opt for QNAP's hardware or Synology's software? I am concerned about QNAP's security issues. I want a durable solution that won't require a major upgrade for at least 6 years. Also, I'm curious about your suggestions for hard drives. I typically go for WD red, but given their current issues, I'm not sure. Based on your builder, the models that caught my attention are the TS-462 and the DS1522+. Thank you for your help!

Hi i sent you amessage earlier where you mentioned 2 units in your response and i believe that i was misunderstood. I wanted more slots for extra hard drives. The DS920+ i have now have 4 slots and the 2 you mentioned also have 4 slots and was hoping for one with at least 5 to 8 slots for hard drives.
Additional detail: I was hoping to find one that does the media library/streming role the same or (preferably) better than the DS920+. Increase the performance, with GPU or it just being an improvement to begin with.
Thanks for the first answer btw!

Hello!
Is there any way to move domain controller from QNAP Nas to synology NAS?
Right now QNAP NAS is a domain controler. I need to make the SYNOLOGY NAS the domain controller for this domain, and unplug the QNAP NAS from the domain.
Every automatic/semiautomatic way of doing this is acceptible, even using windows server as the tool to achieve this. But, is it anyhow possible to do this?
Couldn't find any info about this, and I think it might be crucial for many. The point is not to loose the domain setup.
Thank you for any info.
Cheers,
Jan.

My 810n is misbehaving. I keep loosing the connection from 2 different Macs. It’s a backup, but some of my Data is only on the 810n, but not a lot. I am slowly copying this off the server. Any idea why I loose the connection?

Thinking I might swap to a Synology DS1821 and re-suse the 8 drives in it.

Thanks

I have a DS920+ and im looking to get a new nas with more ports and some new drives to expand the size of it. Plex have stopped working for some reason so took it as a sign that it's time. I am a bit nervous that getting a synology again will result in me having the same issue as i had recently but im not sure.

Good afternoon
I am looking for a replacement of my DS220+ from synology. I do have business some of my contractor are overseas so I will need a reliable way for them to access their files on the cloud. I am looking for a 6-bay device.
I had some issues with Synology and tech support is not the best, everything I need to go to the blog. The real-person tech support is minimal.
I would like to have good tech support as I am not an expert but I can set thing up if guided correctly.
thank you for your great videos and one of them is what I want to expand. I liked the idea of baying 6 bays and only using 4 and leaving the other two for expansion, I think that is very smart!!
Thank you
Pablo

I'm running out of space on my DS1821+ so I'd like to upgrade to largest Enterprise drives currently available, probably not all at once
I saw your post pushing-boundaries-seagates-exos-x24-with-a-whopping-24tb-capacity but can't find any evidence they work with Synology

Synolgy's compatibility list max's out at 16TB for Seagate there own HAT at 18TB (These are like 4 times the price of Exos X24 24TB)

Will these drives work?

Is there any reason why these newer larger Hard drives won't work?
I'm aware each volume l has a 108TB limit but you can more than 1 volume within a storage pool
Thanx

Hello
I am currently looking for a more powerfull and capable nas unit to replace my older QNAP TS-431K.

Our current setup involves 17 users who are coppying files and folders to and from the server over gigabit ethernet (running through 10Gbe fibre to the main switch with the nas connected to it, using that switch's gigabit ports) on an hourly basis. These files are on the small side (10-40MB), with the largest files that will ever need to be coppied being around 8GB. I also run two seperate partitions, one for the office documents and files and a second for employee data and other backend business stuff.

Would the synology DS-1522+ or the DS-1821+ be a better sollution. The ssd caching abilities on both of these are very appealing. Can I run a 2TB/4TB nvme cache for each individual partition and would a read/write cache be better for accessing the most recent files quickly or should I use those for BTRFs indexing instead? Would you recommend a different nas?
