I want to get the most out of this. What all do I need? Memory, NVMe or not? What alternative OS for using as a storage for backup, & a central place to use & store things on. Is there any advantage to having 2 NVMe drives?

i have a Asustor Lockerstor 4 Gen 2 AS6704T & i was just wondering which one of these to buy for casheing

Seagate FireCuda 530, 500GB, Internal SSD, M.2 PCIe Gen4 ×4 NVMe 1.4, transfer speeds up to 7300 MB which is £48.48

will this work well with the above NAS & do i need to use a heat sink or anything with this and if so what heat sink and/or thermal pads to buy.

if they work well going get four 2 for read & right speeds and two 4 gb ones for extra storage.

if this one not good what would you recommend please

NVMe must be best one"s thanks in advance

thanks in advance

Hi,

I'm looking for a NAS drive for my small business (2 Users) - The business is an Architectural Practice so we have some larger CAD Files (average of about 20mb up to about 60mb).

So I am looking for a decent NAS to securley store these files - I probably only need about 4TB of storage so was thinking of a 2 Bay drive with 2No 4TB drives mirrorred.

Some of these files are very valuable due to the time spent working on them so the data needs to be safe.

I will also need remote access for when I am out on site.

I might also store a few photos and videos on the NAS.

My budget is about £500 - I have been considering the Synology DS224+ with two 4TB Seagate Ironwolf NAS drives.

I've watched a few of your reviews and am now even more confused and wonder what you would choose if it was your money?

Many thanks!

Regards Rob

Hi,
I work for Security Engineers Inc. in Birmingham, AL. I saw your video about Rack Mount Servers. I was wondering if I could get some general information about how to pick a server for camera systems.

I am still using a Drobo Gen 2 4 bay with USB 2.0. Stoped using Fw as it kept disconnecting.

So far everything is stable on Catalina, but I want to upgrade.

What do you recommend I look at?

Hello,

I’ve been following your videos as i am in the market for a NAS, having gone through a few videos
I am still confused as to what i would need and would be grateful for some guidance on the best solution. I have been looking at the Synology DS1621+ with 3 x 6TB Storage. Below are the use cases for how i would like to use the NAS:

Photos / Videos
- Archive Photos from ‘Photos’ App for both of us
- Store and Manage Lightroom Library through NAS
- Move photos from Old laptops and Old Mac Mini to NAS
- Be able to manage and access Lightroom catalogues to send off edits
- Be able to display selected photos via a digital photo frame

Work
- Spin up Virtual Machines
- Move files from Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud Drive to NAS
- Time Machine Backup for Laptops, iPhones, iPads

Entertainment
- Store and Watch Movies

Backup of entire NAS to offsite cloud solution for piece of mind

Hi NAS Compares,

I have been recently looking into entering the NAS market but a little confused as to what I need. I have NVIDIA Shield and would like to know what NAS drive I need to store my movies to play over network using PLEX. I will also be storing my photos on there too.

I have a 4k TV and a 1080P projector and unlikely to be using both for streaming at the same time.

I have at present an external HDD caddy that works really well at the moment but will only be on when i access the NVIDIA shield it is attached to and is not good practice to leave on constantly.

I have looked at the following so far.
Synology 220+
Synology 224+

Thanks for any advice

Hello, is there any chance you can provide me with step by step guide how to set up separate network for my IoT devices (both wired and wireless ones) please? Setup for Synology RT6600ax router.

PS. I know nothing about VLANs.

Transitioning from my two bus-powered 2 TB and 4 TB WD drives, unfortunately, with my new LG C2 4K etc, I needed more and was happily given a Synolygy Nas 220+ with already one bay already filled with an IW 4 TB drive. I was quite convinced about your 'EXOS vs IW vs WD' to go for the (€100 cheaper!) EXOS over the IW Pro 16 TB. Is it a good idea, though, to put two 'different' drives together, even concerning storage?)
Goal 1: storage of my now ~5TB of video + ~1TB of TimeMachine backup. (Hence, redundancy is not high on my list, since I won't delete the old drives.) Also, I rent 1 room inclusive so power consumption doesn't matter, and the diff in sound between them seems low enough.
Goal 2: connection the NAS (along with all its video content, of course) to my LG Evo C2 (48" 2160p 120 Hz, (but no gamer!)). Been transcoding some with HandBrake and AV1 works on it with pretty low presets.

I DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO ANY STREAMING SERVICE.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I saw your video on the 5GB adapter for Synology I'm wondering, do you have descriptions how to do this on a Mac?. And is it possible to use the ethernet port which I'm using now for Internet and the 5 GB adapter only for LAN.
