  NAS for Editing
Posted by: Enquiries - 05-13-2024, 03:35 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

I am working for a church and I am trying to find a solution where I can open a design or video editing project that someone has closed out of and finish the edit. One of your designers work part time at home, can she still edit from home by remoting into the NAS? Also I will be editing off of proxies in Davinci, and designing through Adobe. Any issues with setup or complications I may hit

I am thinking of following this setup.

NAS Unit: Synology DS1821+ (RAID6 Configuration)

Hard Drives: Six Seagate IronWolf Pro 12TB drives to start just have 2

Memory Upgrade: Nemix 32GB Memory Module (2x16GB)

Network Adapter Upgrade: Synology 10Gb Ethernet Adapter 1 RJ45 Port

SSD Cache Drive: Western Digital Red SN700 NVMe M.2 2280 2TB (RAID0 Configuration) - to improve scrubbing through timeline - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrvOnxecqio

10G Adapter: OWC Thunderbolt3 10G Ethernet Adapter (For MacBook Pro M3)

Network Switch: NETGEAR 10-Port Gigabit/10G Ethernet Unmanaged Switch (GS110MX)

  Asustor Warranty
Posted by: ndavis8726 - 05-12-2024, 02:52 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

I am in the market for a NAS and I like some of the Asustor offerings. However, I have been reading complaints about the warranty service with Asus. Have any of those warranty issues carried over into the Asustor offerings?

  internet connection
Posted by: Enquiries - 05-12-2024, 09:00 AM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Hi, I'm using my mobile data as a backup internet connection. I read somewhere that I can connect my phone to a usb c to ethernet adapter and use that as my NAS' internet access. I connected my phone to my router and It worked and I saw that it was connected, but for the life of me, don't remember how I saw that. I've been looking through control panel/network but still can't find it. I just need to see if it connected or not to know it's working. Can you please help? My NAS is a DSM1821+ on 7.2.1

  I bought the UGREEN nas 4bay + system
Posted by: Enquiries - 05-11-2024, 01:35 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

I bought the UGREEN nas 4bay +. This will be my first time owning a nas I also heard from someone else that you can maximize the ram and usually as cash What type of M.2 SSD I should get . how big can I get? I seen a lot different reviews. Some go to one gig you can’t go to one gig going to go up to 512 you could even go higher should I get one stick and upgrade It later, or should I get two of the same stick?

I saw some of your videos and you guys saying the software is not that good yet I’m wondering if I should get (true nas )
I am also photographer so I’m planning to store my photos on it I’ve also seen one of your videos about ripping movies and I plan to do that as well. I’ve also seen some other videos and I may do that as well. I know this may be asking a lot, but could you send me the documentation on how to do the automatic ripping I seen some videos but I never use lyrics before I am going to need some help with the lines of Codes
Please help thank you

  NAS and SSD Cache
Posted by: Enquiries - 05-10-2024, 04:35 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

I have a general question about NAS Caching. I am grabbing a Ugreen NAS when they release and know it has two NVME slots that allows for ssds to be used as cache. Is there a ratio of general storage to cache I should be aiming for? Does that ratio change with different raid configurations or use cases? Should I be aiming for as much as I can afford or is there a scenario where too much cache can be less optimal performance-wise?

Just curious on what that relationship looks like, I would imagine there's a sweet spot, between not enough, that requires more turnover in cache that makes it less effective, or too much that is less efficient since it requires more traversal of the cache is required per cache hit, but admittedly, that's sorta based on some speculation that comes from a likely incomplete understanding of how cache actually works, so sorry if this is a stupid question.

Any help or maybe links to existing article would be helpful!
