I'm a journalist with large volumes of photo and video content. This would be a small business usage case.

I'm looking for a reliable system that can hold several years of content but also connect, somehow? to older backed-up content.

I currently have a four-bay drive holder that I manually drag files onto - two of the bays are backup.

I'm not sure if I need a NAS or DAS? I don't need remote access, though it would be a nice benefit.

I'm looking for a reliable local system that has some redundancy, and can grow as the content grows.

Thanks very much!

Is there a tutorial video for setting up Remote Play for Jellyfin on a Asustor? I tried looking but didn't see anything specific to what I wanted to do.

I have an Asustor Lockerstor 4 Gen 2 (AS6704T) with Jellyfin running on it that I'd like to add Remote Play, but I'm an absolute novice when it comes to remote networking; I've heard enough to believe I need added security of HTTPS when using a DDNS setup (I'm probably not even using the terminology correctly). I've tried piecing information from different NAS brand tutorial videos and ones not involving Jellfin or HTTPS specifically but I get lost in the weeds trying to make it all work. I basically want to make my Jellyfin media accessible enough to set up on my parents' or my friend's Roku (with Jellyfin) across town, or anywhere I am when travelling.

Thanks!

looking to buy the Rs 1221+ it doesn't look like Synology is coming with a upgraded version in 2025 so is the 1221 still a good buy here in 2025, will there be sufficient support in the future. im going to use it for home purpose, file storage, and photo storage(amateur photografer), a few docker systems such as Home assistance, running Mac and pc with a unify setup.

Hi. My use case is simple, my requirements easy I think. I just want a rock solid N100 based nas, reliable, moderately performant (I have 2.5GB Backbone) , and am not greedy, so 1TB is sufficient. Needs to be relatively power efficient.
But, in the event something goes wrong, I need to be able to either rebuild the solution relatively easily back to operational quickly (Am ok with Linux), or just replace faulty MVNE without issue.
There are SO many boxes to choose from, SO many MVNEs to choose from, its a minefield!
What is the go-to solution that meets this criteria?
Am used to OMV, but fancy giving TrueNas Core a go.
thanks

Hi

I'm looking to build my own nas and I have picked what parts to have, I'm just wanting to work out what's best in terms or Truenas or unraid.

My main concern is the data I have on my old terramaster nas, how best is it to get the data to the new system, will I be able to just plug the hard drive in and then either truenas or unraid will see it, don't really want to lose the data, its 2 hard drive 16tb each, If you can advise the what's best to do, was going to get another 16tb hard drive as well to add to the setup as well, as that's the reason I'm upgrading as both are nearly full.

Thanks
Peter

Hello. I will start by saying. I ahve in recent years started watching NAScompares and I love the content and therefore I trust to ask your advice.

I have not a NAS setup yet, but I have wanted to confugre one for home and business for a while now.

I am looking to confugre a Lockstor gen 2. 6 bay for business and home. The Home one will function as my home system and additonally as a offsite backup for the business system.

I am currently reviewing HDD's to use. And I currently viewing Seagates Exos. The primary question is if the LUN of Exos is compatible with lockstors gen2 NAS'

I previosuly looked at synology and was very impressed with them, but with the appearant reduction in software support I become unsure on synologys brand and way forward. Synology si strongest on the software side, but if they are showing signs of leaving that throne I would not feel safe to utilize synology. I have therefore landed on lockerstor. I would not mind having a consultation on my choices.

We are a business of 35 users in London and have an older QNAP NAS 451+ helping us for about 5 years but would like some help with it to get the best out of it and also just purchased another QNAP 453E to help with the load. Need some onsite and on going help please. Payment by the hour or day etc

Long time fan and subscriber of the channel, I have been researching & waiting for the last few years, but I am still torn between ease of use software (secure) & future-proof hardware (I dont mind spending more to get higher performance if it will make a notable difference in perceived experience... Please help me determine the best 6-8bay or higher NAS model options -- Synology, QNAP, UGREEN, ASUSTOR, TerraMaster, etc. excluding Buffalo, NetGear or lower tier. Prefer at least a 8/12-core cpu with dual M.2 slots caching capability along with a 10g network port with at least another 2.5g port onboard and PCIE 4/5 slot if possible and hopefully TB4 /USB 4.0

Need to be able to use off the shelf drives particularly WD RED Plus 12TB & 6TB models as I have 5 of these already. Are there any other model drives that I should consider to fill up the raid-6 or SHR2 - Ironwolf PRO, WD Gold Ent., Hitachi, Toshiba, etc. ?

Thank you in advance for your help. All the best, Josh

Aoostar WTR Max vs Minisforum MS-A2 comparison
Which one would you choose for home server?

I have a QNAP, TS-216G device. Following your NAS Setup Guilde (2024) Part-3. I am unable to find the "Qnap, Qsync for windows (exe)" file to download on my PC. All I see are several QNAP vSphere files (not sure what they are). Is this unavaliable for my NAS? If so what are my alternatives?

Thanks, really enjoy your videos !!
