Hello, so I've tried multiple times to reach out with question via CWWK website/store and they do not answer back I've bought the Q670 Plus board made by CWWK and no where in the BIOS has support for Intel RST or VMD technology, can you confirm that is correct please and any suggestions ? Need to run Windows 11 Pro with dual M.2 for OS boot RAID 1 and 1 PCIe Slots for Add-on True RAID controller MegaRAID 9460-8i total storage 144 TB (8 x 24 TB drives RAID 6 ) also need to have dual NIC 1 with vPro Support - Thanks much !!!

Hi! I am newbie, and would like to setup my own Nas. I already bought Aoostar WTR Max. I would like to install the TrueNas Scale to the system. I am wondering did you try to install the bulidin screen software. And will it run on TureNas. If so, can you show me how to install it as well.

Hi there,

I'd love advice on what you guys recommend for home storage alternatives to ICloud and Google drive. I have been doing lots of research about NAS options. The most I've done tech wise is build a basic gaming PC myself. To be honest, I am tech newbie so I got easily overwhelmed on the forums with all the tech options and many acronyms. My main use for this will be personal data and photo storage. Essentially, going to use it as a e-photo album for all family photos/video for years to come. Would love any direction on the massive world of NAS.
Cheers,

Thank you for all you do.
The latest NASs from China offer good value. However, if you
note the EULA and TERMS for many NASs from Chine, e.g., UGREEN:
https://nas.ugreen.com/pages/useragreement
The EULA stipulates specific use of the NAS in section 4.3.
It would be interesting if you reviewed the EULAs and TERMS of USE for NASs for popular NASs. People might be nervous about travel to foreign countries given that I've no idea what resides on a NAS that I own which may violate these terms.

I am a part-time professional photographer with 2 decades of photos and video stored on a Drobo. Time to upgrade but I'm overwhelmed by the options. This will primarily be for local backup in a RAID configuration combined with cloud storage as a second backup.

Your website offers advice and assistance. I appreciate the offer. I could use some about the best system to buy. I've been considering the DiskStation 423+ but your article about the 1GbE ports instead of 2.5 or 10 and the older Celeron processor spooked me.

What do you think would be best?

Do you happen to have a video involving the above subj line? I am having trouble matching up the Front Panel wiring and the HD Audio connector. The Jonsbo front panel manual shows 9 wires, but it only came with 4 wires in the 10 pin connector. The B760 only has 8 pins in the motherboard, although it shows a 10 pin connector in their manual.

I do not believe that I will be able to use the HD Audio connection since I do not see anything even close to the pin configuration. Since it is probably only for headphones, I won't need it anyway.

Hello Team,
Looking for my first NAS to keep all my data, backup pc, android, iPhone and two way sync with pCloud (I understand it is not natively support). Also to keep and edit RAW file as hobbyist photographer. Start with one 4TB and add another 4TB at later time for redundancy.

Thanks,
Stanley

Hi Rob,

I’m currently using a Synology DS214play with 4TB SHR (ext4) mainly for backing up family photos and videos. We love the Synology Photos app but it’s become slow and sluggish on this older model.

I’m considering upgrading and would appreciate your advice on a few points:

For our needs—regular photo/video backup with no business or remote work use—should I go for a 2-bay or 4-bay NAS? I want something fast and future-proof but not overkill.

Regarding file systems, should I stick with ext4 or switch to Btrfs? Does Btrfs offer real benefits for home users focused on photos and videos?

If I switch to Btrfs, how do I migrate data from my ext4 drives? I assume hot-swapping isn’t possible.

Docker use (for Adguard DNS and n8n) is optional but a nice bonus.

Thanks for your expert advice!

Start off. Really learning from the YouTube vids.

Just waiting form my DS923+ to arrive at the door but I’m still waffling on harddrives Synology or Ironwolf or ironwolf pro. Your advice needed.

And a big thanks.
Scotty B.

I want to edit 4K 10 Bit RAW video footages without any interruption. I've selected QNAP TVS-h874T but it's providing my only 160 TB and I Need 250 TB. Recently I've seen Orico CyberData Series but heard the name Orico for the first time. So I am getting confused to choose best NAS for my video editing. We are maximum 4 Editors that will work at the same time. but over video files getting too much high in size. So it's very tough to change hard drives while editing. So please help with this. Thank You!
