Hi,
I have been looking at QNAP. Plan is for home office at site A running RAID 1 initially with 2 20TB drives (thinking TS464).. Site B is offsite cloud and also a work location so it would be great if items could be auto backup there and then site A is updated. Not sure which QNAP model.
Also, I would like a small business at site C and D to do cloud backup to site B, but their data would not be visible by anyone from site A or B. They would also do RAID 1 at their site. Thinking QNAP TS-431 at each site.
Is this possible with QNAP, if not QNAP is there another solution. If yes, let me know how to buy through Amazon with your referral link.
Mostly all just data files, photo backup and perhaps some music. Sites A and B have MAC, iPhone, iPad, Windows, linux. Sites C and D are iPhone, iPad and Windows.
Thank you,
Idaho

Hi guys!
I'm lost in the NAS jungle. I've been watching your youtube videos for the last week trying to understand it all.
I run a photography / videography business myself (I'm the only worker) and am tired of handling 15 different HDDs on my desk, not remembering where I put that file or where that folder is.
I want to improve my workflow by having everything in the same place and a large storage, an 8-bay of 20TB drives.

Now the question is, as I'm not sure if I am willing to take the risk to bring it online due to all the hacks I've been hearing you talk about. I might just keep the NAS open in my home network to play it safe. With that in mind, maybe I dont need the fanciest or most expensive NAS? I was however looking at the QNAP TVS-h874T since I want this NAS to last a long time and this one is future proof with the Gen4 NVMes and TB4. But maybe it's also overkill for my needs? Perhaps the QNAP TVS-872XT would be enough? The Synology 1821+ is cheap but too slow..

Greetings guys, love your cannel and i am digging deep to deside where to go from my qnap ts-328. I want moore powerfull cpu moore ram and a hdmi output. I bought the ts-328 as a test and to learn how to use a nas and what my needs are. i populated it with 3 x 8tb exos disks. I think i am ready now to move on and use the ts-328 as a backup on/off and only that. My first choise was the ts-653D then i saw the ts-464 , a lovely machine. But now we have the Asustore Flashstore 6 Silent like i want it. HELP! If i sortof know may way around a Qunap will it be hard to switch to Asustore? and what about safety , is Qunap and Asustore equally safe/unsafe. I can get a used cheap ts 653D but how noisy is that conpared to the Asustore flash? and last but not least futureproofing. Will the Asustore be the best choise long term. Witch one would you buy of the 3 i listed here. Thank you for your time. Merry xNAS guys

Never did a NAS and don't know much other than, I am going with Unraid to make a plex/emby server and use for VM/file management. Plan on doing a raid 1. What is purchased/built:
Jonsbo N1 CASE
B550i strix MOBO
2x 32gb mushkin ecc DDR4
Ryzen 5 4650g pro CPU
5x 16tb exos CPU
S650 NZXT PSU (from my H1 case)
NVME- 5 port sata and nvme extender to use rear pcie 3.0 instead of front pcie 4.0 with heatsink.

Here are my questions:

My PSU didn't have any molex connectors so I got the pinout and made a cable. Should I split the 2 molex connectors on the n1 to 2 separate set of molex wires instead of connecting the 2 to the same set?

For unraid, do I put the os on a internal ssd or I have a portable ssd I can use, size matter?

Will I benefit having say 2x Optane 905P Series 1.5TB (they on sale for $400) connected to say a Synology E10M20-T1 10GbE Ethernet & Dual M.2 Adapter Card?

Just trying to the complete build at the same time and start doing my transfers.

Hi,
Asustor MyArchive disk accidently removed from storage manager.
Any chance to can be recovered?

12 TB hardisc.....

Hi All,

I'm not able to decide about which NAS to choose QNAP TS-464-8G vs Synology DS923+ or any other one. 
Here are my needs: 
- I'm having a lot of photos in Google Photos as well as in Apple Photos and I want to move them all in one place
- I would like also to host websites on my NAS (not more than 3)
- Deploy some microservices (SpringBoot/PostGres and an Angular UI)
- NAS will be accessible from Internet

After all what I've read in internet regarding QNAP, I'm not very confident. The TS-464 seems very good to fit my needs but I'm afraid about evolutions on System and Apps. QTS Live Demo is down since last week. 
Synology is good on Ecosystem and Software but hardware configuration are Just-Just or starts to become old (R1600/J4125) (DS423+/DS923+...etc.)

What do you recommend me ? Going with QNAP will be secure ?
Not having btrfs will not be a limitation ? Same question for SHRx ? Shall I consider that ?
Is it a good choice to have an iGPU knowing that I've a Sony Android TV.

Thank you in advance

I'm looking at getting a device that can sit alongside my other entertainment devices (PS5, Nintendo switch, virgin tevo box and wifi router) under the TV unit.

My wife and i take a lot of photos and video on our phones and we would like a way on getting the quickly and easily off our phones into storage. So it doesn't clog up our phones and laptops

I would quite like it to be as quiet as possible as it will be in the main lounge area so don't really want loud fans starting up and the mechanical clanking that you can get from some storage options.

Any advice as to what to look for would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks

Adam

I currently have a Synology DS220j with 2x Seagate Ironwolf 4TB drives - 5900 rpm, 64Mb cache. I'm beginning to get a bit frustrated with the length of time it takes the NAS to handle big file transfers to it (e.g. 100 image files @ typically 50MB per file). How likely would I be to see any perceived improvement in file handling time by upgrading to Ironwolf Pro drives, which spin faster and have more cache?

The alternative would much more expensive, of course - a 4-bay NAS with drives configured as RAID 5...

Hi,
Watched your review. Have selected DS923+. Want to build a media server. I have 4 WD 2TB Red drives that are on the compatibility list.

Question: Once I set up, will I be able to upgrade the drives 1 at a time as budget allows?

Thanks

Hi, I currently have a built plex server with 10tb raid setup. The server is getting long in the tooth and drive expansion is minimal. Im looking at moving to a NAS specifically for storage and something like a nuc to run as the server. Everywhere online I am finding NAS as the plex server which I don't want. I think I might prefer more bays with low disk size but I need to get to 20tb and hopefully at some point additional storage. Right now my use case is plex but may want to use it for more later. Surveillance is never a question for this. That said what nas would you recommend that doesn't necessarily break the bank. Thanks Mike
