Hi, I am having issues getting ROON server installed on my NAS to be seen by my PC Roon client, the NAS is fully visible in Win Explorer and the ROON server appears to be installed correctly.
Can you advise anyone you could recommend, who could do a remote connect and resolve as in spite of numerous discussions with ROON I am getting nowhere.. If I install the ROON server on my local PC everything works inc accessing the music files held on the NAS... Tx Mark

Hi. I cant find ds220+ here in our country, do you have an advice which newer model I could purchase? I have read about 223 224 225 and they have lots of complaints. What I want is basic but powerful in media and photos aside from being a back up server for personal use. Like pictures and video.

Thank you.

Hi,
I'm looking to get a NAS or equivalent type of solution for my organisation. We are 3 video editors working in one space and we need alot of space that is fast enough to edit off of as well as redundancy to make sure we don't lose any material. We also have some colleagues in other countries who we would like to give some access to be able to access footage on the drive or maybe even copy footage onto it if possible.
I would like to get your expert advice and if possible even have a meeting discussion to discuss possibilities. Would be open to do it as a consultancy that we would pay for. Reach me on my email to discuss further.

Regards,

Guys

I am really struggling to install ROON server on my Asustor NAS. I have had ROON PC client installed fine on my PC, and can access and playback my music folders / files from my NAS without issue. However I want to put the ROON Server APP onto the NAS, rather than use the PC client to playback music.

I have tried getting help from ROON but seem to be going round in circles..

ROON server appears to install OK and then I select the folder library.  Then the app goes back to the set up screen ?

If I install the ROON client on my PC it cannot then find the NAS to connect  to the installed app, even though the NAS it is fully visible in windows explorer.

Are there some fundamentals in ADM that I need to set or check ? 

The NAS is on the same LAN as my streamer and PC and I can playback through ROON client on my PC without issue either directly or via streamer.

Help I am so frustrated after multiple installs / reinstalls... any help you guys can give gratefully received..

Tx

ello everyone!

I've just started my journey into the NAS (Network Attached Storage) world.
I picked up a TerraMaster F4-424 and successfully installed and initialized it with two brand new hard drives.

However, I've hit a major roadblock while trying to set up my storage, and I could really use some expert insight!

The Problem:

1. I initially tried to create a Volume, but nothing happened—no progress, no errors, just silence.
   
2. I then tried to create a Storage Pool first. This finally started an initialization process, but it stopped abruptly at 10% with a frustrating popup: "The operation completed successfully."
   
3. Despite this message, no storage pool was actually created!
   
   

I love building PCs. I built a server in my home with some parts I had thinking I would set it up to be my "Dropbox" replacement. I have never used/learned linux. I am technical, but not this technical... hardware I am better at. I have watched hours of videos including yours which I really appreciate, but I am going in circles with Unraid. I tried on my own based on videos I watched and failed. I used ChatGPT and have been running around in circles because it clearly doesn't know what it is doing. I am lost and honestly feel really disappointed in all of it. At one point, I was actually in Nextcloud, then I wasn't. So I had the briefest excitement that maybe I would have something that could be my work Dropbox and more. I had hoped to maybe consider hosting my own email, website, and even putting my poersonal photos from my phone on it... blah blah. I just don't know what to do but pay some large fee for Unraid Troubleshooting time which seems ridiculous.

Good evening NAS Compares forum!

I am writing this message regarding a custom NAS build I would like to construct from my home as an upgrade from my Ugreen DPX2800. While the Ugreen NAS has been an amazing bit of kit I use to host my applications such as Plex, Home assistant & Jellyfin. I want to take things up a level.

Having sold off my old PC, I want to create a NAS build that can run some of the top of the line LLM's fully locally on it's system, encode Plex at 4K quality easily and store my personal files. I want to stress that my energy company provides me with a fixed power bill so feel free to stress that wattage! I currently have three 3.5 HDD's, and are planning to buy more.

I don't really have any specific requirements other than to build a beast of a system! Perhaps picking out a specialised PC case for this build?

Thank you :]
