  NAS for running about 16 virtual PCs
Posted by: Enquiries - 01-02-2024, 04:00 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

I need to provide my students with PCs running Adobe flash as most of my resources use it. So far I provide free Lenovo laptops (which run flash OK) (refurbished). Unfortunately, some are needing updates and repair. which is costly and slow.
Is it possible on a Qnap NAS to run up to 20 virtual PCs (cloned from the laptops I use already, as virtual PCs?
I run Teamviewer for remote access when needed at the moment.
We have Internet download speeds of about 800Mb/second and upload speed of about 1000Mb second using fibre to home.
If possible how easy would it be to update the resources on the virtual PCs? Kind regards
Tony

  NAS for my company (43 employed company)
Posted by: Enquiries - 01-02-2024, 02:30 AM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Greetings,

Excellent stuff.
Both your webpage, your website and your YouTube page are great!

I'm really overwhelmed with so many NAS options available.
I'm really interested in buying a Qnap or Synology NAS, but I can't decide which would be better.

I would like to use it for my mail server, back up my files and run container apps, as well as redundancy for the 3rd party cloud and also add my camera system in the 3 offices (São Paulo - main, Rio de Janeiro and Brasília)

Best wishes in advance

  NAS for video editing
Posted by: Enquiries - 12-31-2023, 03:30 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Hello, I plan to video editing 4K to 6K footage in 2024. I use Final Cut Pro. I have the latest es M1 and M3 macs. I need to be able to edit between my home and work. That means uploading and downloading footage so I can either start or continue video editing projects from either location. Basically bouncing between locations. I also need to be able to send links for other people to review video projects. I plan to setup a 10GB network but also have Thunderbolt 4 ports with the new Macs. I like ti edit fast if possible on my NAS or at least access fast uploaded footage. What NAS do you recommend I purchase now or should I wait for what 2024 brings? I heard Synology has the best software nut not the fastest hardware. So I’m confused. Any advice or recommendations is greatly appreciated. Feel free to send me links to purchase a NAS system. Thank you very much.

Does the Terramaster F4-424 NAS have an internal USB port (like the F4.423) that can be used to run UnRaid?

I am curious on what the max amount of RAM possible for a ds723+ is? I am going to use some off-brand sticks to upgrade, and was wondering if 64gb was possible.

  Aoostar R7 - Shipping and Customs on AliExpress
Posted by: Enquiries - 12-30-2023, 11:30 AM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (2)

I am really interested in the Aoostar R7 and upon adding it at check out on AliExpress, it doesn't add VAT (I'm assuming due to the fact that the item is above £135). I was therefore wondering what your experience is ordering such items on AliExpress in terms of UK Customs.

I look forward to hearing from you
