Thanks

Impressive YouTube channel, by the way!

Hello

I have watched your YouTube channel and in particular your demonstration of the Motorola RUTx50. I am looking for advice on an excellent starter model that will be deployed in an home/office environment and also deployed in harsh environments whilst travelling. Mainly to countries like Kenya, Zambia and parts of Asia. Plus, the model(s) has to be similar or as close to the RUTx50.


Many thanks


Robert

  Advice?
Posted by: Enquiries - 02-23-2024, 12:30 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Hi Ed! - I hope you enjoyed the last coffee, well deserved. Your advice/instructions were spot on!
OK:
I have a 'Number' of shared folders on my Synology NAS, I have created a hierarchical folder structure with subfolders within each shared folder e.g Root Folder e.g. Year - Sub Folders Commercial, Weddings, Family, etc (I am a Photographer)
I have enabled the Synology SMB etc, would enabling FTP (no encryption) be a good idea to help transfer files? If so, how do I go about it?
Running Synology DSM 7.1 atm
For example, Do I have to open an additional port on the Modem? That in itself for me is a strange science
LOL
Any advice would be appreciated

Hi Mate, Just want to quickly say I really appreciate your content and regularly come to your channel for guidance ??

I'm a video editor looking for backup solution that will allow me to transfer large projects (1 - 2tb) without any drop-off in transfer speeds. I will edit from it occasionally but the main focus is to copy alot of files as fast as possible.

I recently bought 3 4tb crucial x6's and (i'm not sure if i've some how bought 3 faulty ones) the speed drops off dramatically when copying across large projects, taking almost 4/5 hours to transfer a 1 tb project.

Potential drives I was looking at are Lexar NM790 4TB SSD, Samsung 990 pro 4tb, Crucial P3 Plus 4TB.

The enclosure I was looking at OWC 4m2 thunderbolt. I like the small size of this but from what I understand it only supports Gen 2 so wouldn't be able to harness the full speed of these drives.

I work on a 16" M1 Max macbook 4tb.

Posted by: Enquiries - 02-23-2024, 12:30 AM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Hello
My name is Michael, I have to say l love your videos, im in IT, A tier 2 desktop support for Yamaha and I actually use your advice allot in my work. I have a Zbook with 32 gigs of ram and a 3000 quadro card in it.. I have a external DAS -2 20gig raided already that I use to stores movies and files. I have never build a NAS before and networking is a little out of my scope even though I understand and have to trouble shoot layer 1&2 allot.. I need help, I want to load unraid on that Zbook.. I would be happy to pay you for your service if we can zoom one day and you help guide me in the setup.. Plus I want to load plex and make sure that it is transcoding the movies and not the CPU.. I have a gig service, a perfect place to set up the NAS..
Also one question, once I set up unraid and I plug in my DAS will I have to move all 20 gigs and reformat that DAS and then move everything back., I live in Atlanta Ga… Please if you can assist, I will pay you… I also sent a email

  Painful file transfer from PC to NAS
Posted by: Enquiries - 02-21-2024, 07:00 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

I owe the Synology 416Play. I was having issues with the two even talking to one another until I did a clean install of Windows. Now I'm able to run the synology assistant and on occasion do a victory dance when I'm not able to mount it correctly. Any easy fix or could I pay for someone to remotely fix. I'm pretty much below novice as I get notification that my connection is not secure (but I have the network on private).
