Let me know what you think would be the best choice for a switch and UPS (Synology has not tested these choices to work with DS1522+ possible compatibility issue)

We have a Synology NAS DS920+ It has worked well for 3 years.
Then the number 1 (4gb) drive was declared faulty so we replaced it with a 12gb drive of the same brand.
Since doing that the NAS will not connect to the PC. It has gone from bad to worse. Now it declares that the 12gb drive is faulty. We need help and will pay for what ever help you can give.
Firstly should we give up on the 12gb drive and buy a new 4gb drive?
After that we would hope you could advise us on getting it to connect to the PC. The PC can see the NAS but the PC cannot see any files.
I hope you can help, Neville Howes

I'm Network attached storage looking for something that it's powerful enough just to run high definition but still have storage options of you know so can expand if I need to I have asustor as1102T I found it kind of underpowered and looking for something a bit better being looking at TERRAMASTER F4-212 4

Hello

Have been close to pulling the trigger on a NAS for awhile now. I’m maxed out on several 2TB external hard drives that I store raw photos, 4k video, and phone backups to. I do photo and video editing for personal projects and sometimes for paid projects.

Initial research has me trying to decide between the Synology 923+ and 1522+ and maybe adding two 16GB drives to start. Seems like folks say if the $100 doesn’t matter to you then best to get the 1522+. Is that the case?


Also wondering if it is worth waiting for their next models to come out (guessing announcement by year end). Seems like a long time to wait and the current models are probably plenty capable (and upgradable) for my purposes as a first time user.

Any thoughts between the two or waiting? And recommendations on drives?

Thanks!

I have an HP EliteDesk 800 G2, and I would ideally want to use this in a NAS case, is this even possible? If so what would you recommend?

Can I swap out my 8 12tb drives for 18 TB drives by replacing them one at a time until all 8 bays are populated with the larger drives? I'm running the qts with zfs in a configuration that gives 2 drive loss.. raid 6 I believe.

Good evening,
Whats the difference between Nimbustor 2 Gen2 and Lockerstor 2 Gen 2.
Thanks you.

Hello,

I've decided to set up a NAS to serve as a file server at my workplace, and I've chosen the Synology DS1821+ model. I plan to install 2x16GB 2666MHz Kingston RAM with 19 CL. However, I'm concerned about the compatibility of M.2 SSDs. Synology's own compatible M.2 SSDs are twice as expensive as the Samsung 990 Pro 1TB models. As an alternative, what are the most efficient M.2 SSDs I can use? We'll mainly be accessing the device externally, and we have 1000 Mbps download/upload speeds in the office.

I have a growing movie collection. I'm on a single external storage off of a old laptop with plex installed. Right now I would need it for movies, photo/personal videos, later maybe some vms for light gaming via steam. I am a old techie but now a manager of techies. I don't want to overkill but the synology ds-423+ seems like something I would outgrow with no expansion and the cpu. Which would you recommend between the two qnaps nas's and is my opinion about the ds-423+ being something I will grow out of in 2 to 3 years? Also is it possible to add expansion bays to the tvs-h474?
