I have a Drobo 8D with 8 - 16TB hard drives with the Thunderbolt connection.  

Are there any NAS out there with 8 bays + thunderbolt connection.

I want a good unit from a company that will be around for a long time and provide updates for Mac OS.

I am not happy about Drobo not providing support and firmware updates.

I need to find a new backup solution before I lose all of my files.

Hello,

Last year I purchased a DS1520+ to upgrade to from my Drobo 5N2. I only now have the funds to purchase the HDD's and any upgrades to finally make the transition. What HDD/RAM or any other upgrades would you personally recommend for my setup? It will predominantly be used for media. Thanks for any help you can provide.

NAS not set up yet, this is about QuMagie and A.I. Probably won't even be using it until later this year.

Throughout my life I've been known by many names: first name, middle name, two different nicknames at different times, even different radio air names!

Different stages in life, different names.

How do I configure QuMagie to process that? Maybe you've dealt with this with women who change their last name for marriage. This is just a bit more complex.

Hello

I've got a Synology DS918+ setup with 4x16TB Iron Wolf Pro HDDs on a RAID5 setup. I recently bought 2x Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB PCIe M.2 NVMe SSD for caching in order to speed up my Plex Media Server metadata loading times. When I initially installed them, I observed a speed up in loading times, however it is now back to the slow loading times that I was experiencing them before.

Is there anything that I need to do other than installing the drives and setting up the drives as Cache devices? How can I speed up the loading times?

Looking for a nas that has useful features and is for both home and small business. Plex or media storage is an added bonus.

Personally found QNAP TS 464 4G, DS920+, DS923+, ...
but wanting to be sure I make the right decisions because it is my first time buying a nas. What would you recommend or are there also other possibilities I have not seen yet?

Thank you,

Hello my friend

Maybe you got email that I sent you last this weekend.


I am thinking buying the QNAP TS-431P3, wihich has a 32bit CPU 4 cores..
For mostly streaming of 4K HDR and storage.
But if you wanna recomend me some other NAS, maybe Sonology or somethig, in the same price range , that is great.

I think synology DiskStation® DS418 might be an option..
with quadcore 64bit CPU .
what would you choose my friend ?


But it really needs to be able to play 4K HDR10 smooth...
I am now using a TS-251+ I have some issues sometimes with lagging etc..


best regards

Quick question. I've got an old ASUStor AS5002T which is used for home use with 2 WD 4Tb reds. It's 7 years old and needs to be replaced. I'm looking at either the QNAP TS233 or TS251d. I'm planning on using 2x 8Tb Toshiba n300 drives. I use it for my movies in MP4, loads of mp3s, and some photos and other stuff. Which do you recommend and are the drives good for the NAS?

I would like to know the best comparable unit/s to the XA 416 and XA 464 Miner Units provided by SC Prime:
(https://xaminer.net/product/xa-miner-xa464-b2c/
My aim is to keep adding to the systems through passive earnings.
I have been comparing your tests with Synology, Qnaps and Terramaster 4,6,8,9 & 12 bay units.
As a newby I am not sure if the XAMiner software (Linux) can be run on these other systems?
8MB of system Ram and a SSD of 250/500GB would be ideal.
I would appreciate any help - please feel free to email me with any queries. I would be pleased to pay a reasonable set-up/installation charge for any units supplied by yourselves or your reccomended suppliers. Paul

Never had a NAS but want to know what would be the best for a start-up?

Hi there great product advice at the right time for me. 1 question i have a Truenas Core server running Plex Pass and I am running out of space. Am I able to use the QNAP TS-464 as an extra storage unit for the Plex Pass on the Truenas core system?

Thanks in advance.
