Good day all.
Could I get a link to the discord server?

Hi Ed! - I hope you enjoyed the last coffee, well deserved. Your advice/instructions were spot on!
OK:
I have a 'Number' of shared folders on my Synology NAS, I have created a hierarchical folder structure with subfolders within each shared folder e.g Root Folder e.g. Year - Sub Folders Commercial, Weddings, Family, etc (I am a Photographer)
I have enabled the Synology SMB etc, would enabling FTP (no encryption) be a good idea to help transfer files? If so, how do I go about it?
Running Synology DSM 7.1 atm
For example, Do I have to open an additional port on the Modem? That in itself for me is a strange science
LOL
Any advice would be appreciated

Hi Mate, Just want to quickly say I really appreciate your content and regularly come to your channel for guidance ??

I'm a video editor looking for backup solution that will allow me to transfer large projects (1 - 2tb) without any drop-off in transfer speeds. I will edit from it occasionally but the main focus is to copy alot of files as fast as possible.

I recently bought 3 4tb crucial x6's and (i'm not sure if i've some how bought 3 faulty ones) the speed drops off dramatically when copying across large projects, taking almost 4/5 hours to transfer a 1 tb project.

Potential drives I was looking at are Lexar NM790 4TB SSD, Samsung 990 pro 4tb, Crucial P3 Plus 4TB.

The enclosure I was looking at OWC 4m2 thunderbolt. I like the small size of this but from what I understand it only supports Gen 2 so wouldn't be able to harness the full speed of these drives.

I work on a 16" M1 Max macbook 4tb.

Hello
My name is Michael, I have to say l love your videos, im in IT, A tier 2 desktop support for Yamaha and I actually use your advice allot in my work. I have a Zbook with 32 gigs of ram and a 3000 quadro card in it.. I have a external DAS -2 20gig raided already that I use to stores movies and files. I have never build a NAS before and networking is a little out of my scope even though I understand and have to trouble shoot layer 1&2 allot.. I need help, I want to load unraid on that Zbook.. I would be happy to pay you for your service if we can zoom one day and you help guide me in the setup.. Plus I want to load plex and make sure that it is transcoding the movies and not the CPU.. I have a gig service, a perfect place to set up the NAS..
Also one question, once I set up unraid and I plug in my DAS will I have to move all 20 gigs and reformat that DAS and then move everything back., I live in Atlanta Ga… Please if you can assist, I will pay you… I also sent a email

Is there a good GPU for transcoding Plex for multiple users in the QNAP TS-855eU-RP. i want to upgrade my synology and came to this NAS but i want a dedicated gpu for transcoding.
Thank you for the effort.

hi can you recommend a nas for plex server and file backup, ad-blocking and maybe home assistant in the future, at the moment I'm using my gaming pc for plex server but would prefer to have a lower powered system

I owe the Synology 416Play. I was having issues with the two even talking to one another until I did a clean install of Windows. Now I'm able to run the synology assistant and on occasion do a victory dance when I'm not able to mount it correctly. Any easy fix or could I pay for someone to remotely fix. I'm pretty much below novice as I get notification that my connection is not secure (but I have the network on private).

I followed the instruction on Youtube video:   QNAP NAS JellyFfn installation - THE EASY WAY TO DO IT

I created a media library for Photos and pointed it to a JellyFInPhotos folder I created with File Station in a path under the Multimedia Share folder.  I placed couple of photos in that directory, but I cannot see those photos in the Photos Library on the Jellyfin server.  Why? What have I missed? Permissions look correct to me.  I am a new use of QNAP and JellyFin.

Thanks

Hello, I have an older Netgear I3 based NAS, owned it for over 10 years now, it is tired and needs a long deserved rest. I have IT experience so I am not lost configuring devices, but for a new NAS I will need videos etc for RAID setup getting plex on it etc. I would like a NAS with integrated graphics, ability to add m2 drives, 2.5gb network port/s, ability to expand. I was looking at QNAP and Synology's as I have read terramaster's UI is not so friendly, and since Netgear is not a player anymore (I like my netgear) these were the best brands to go with. I looked at Synology 923+, 423, 423+, 920+, 1621+ and QNAP 672xt, 251D, 453DX, 653D, 872xt, 1282- either these are not checking the boxes somehow or they aren't available anymore. I was using a plex nas compatibility google doc to try and help me sort through, but it seems that the ones that will do 1080/4k video are all out of my price range. What Synology or QNAP should I try to get?

Hello, Im interested on NAS for my film edit workflow that allows to share my files for remote co-workers (editor, colorist, etc) with enough speed to edit from the storage system instead from the computer.
