I just got a a ds916 and would like to set up for mac timemachine. Is there a raid type where I can back up across different drives where if one drive fails I don't loose all data? Or do I have to use SHR with redundnacy and having to use twice as many drives? Duplicating everything? I would also. like to be able to add more drives as my data grows. Note my schime involves also backing up to as separate system with the shr and redundancy but not the history and role back element of timemachine. Also with the NAS and its error checking would I be warned if one of the drives was dying if I opted for a system with the data striped across all drives?

thanks for your help. what would. you suggest

Hi. For the last 3/4 years l have used my wd my cloud home 4gb single bay device. I use it exclusively with Plex when away from home, so my needs are minimal, it has recently gone belly up, l would like to burgle it for the HDD. ( Good luck to me on that. I'm not impressed with WD so am thinking of getting another brand similar 1bay device which is Plex friendly. Can you suggest the best low budget/compatible device for me. I'm a technology idiot but nevertheless learnt such a lot from your videos. How on earth do you find the time to put out so much info, keep up the good work and thanks. GREAT COMMITMENT. I look forward to hearing from you

Hi,
I used to build my own NAS systems, operatiing with OpenMediaVault, just serving as NFS file server. very quietly operating in big tower Fractal cases.
One issue is, that the systems can not be upgraded from version to version, and that makes it difficult.

I will lease the business next year. My boss wants me to order a commercial NAS for now with easy maintenance and operation, and that also consumes much less energy.
I am really confused by so many informations and options.

The network was recently upgraded from 1 to 10 GB, 2.5G is operating quite well and I think that this should be standard, with the option to upgrade to 10G.
We don't know if a rack-mounted option would be superior, but could we use such a case without rack too?
At least 6 bays should be o.k, better 8.

Best regards,
Juergen

Hello,


I bought the DVA1622 after watching your video about it.

Do you sometimes have a good guide for how to set up a safe connection to the nas from outside my network to watch my survaillance feeds ?
Our any other good guides for the DVA1622 survaillance setup.


thank you in advance

Good afternoon!
I'm thinking about getting a 4bay Nas researched the idea for like 1wk now and is getting confusing.
I'm a 37 yr old man with very basic knowledge of PC .I'm mainly going to use it for storing photos and videos, CCTV,Plex/jellyfin sounds nice don't really know if I'll have the time to download, upload and whatever you need to do to create your own movie library... sounds nice tho.
I was thinking to grab a used NAS of ebay like a Synology 918+
Don't really know what direction to go and would not really wanna pay an arm and a leg for em.
I'm a quick learner and I like doing stuff,b

I need to choose two ssd for the terramaster f4-424 max pci gen4*4 nose can you plase help me

I watched your review of the Aoostar 4 bay NAS and while it is pretty much the right hardware I am looking for, I am not as enthusiastic about all the I/O being on the left side as you were.

As I continued my search I stumbled on a similar box but with the I/O on the back where God intended I/O to be....... The Healuck 4 Bay N100 Quad Core NAS Mini PC, Network NAS Storage for Home, Dual 2.5GbE NAS

Any chance of Nascompares doing a review on this machine?

Hello, I'm currently subscribed to your channel and have watched many videos around memory upgrades and m2 storage pools. I was wondering if you can point me to any videos that might show 3rd party memory that you have tested. I believe that I saw one of these but now can't seem to find again. Also, I've seen several videos you have done where m2 pools are only allowed with Synology drives so wondering if there is a video where this has been changed and I might find tested 3rd party drives that would work with DS1522+.

Thanks,
Lee

Hello - starting to spec out NAS devices for the above, really not interested in leveraging for video in the near to intermediate future.  For now, I just need a shareable, networkable device with music and pics to be tied into my WiFi and my Yamaha RX-A2A AVR.

Currently considering QNAP TS-264-8G-24WD-US with 2 8TB WD drives and a 16 GB RAM upgrade from Crucial.

Should I be considering anything else at this point?  Thanks in advance.

7/10 machine that can automatically create backups or ISO images for fast restores. I've used Veeam and I liked it, but I'm also considering Datto, Clonezilla, and Macrium Reflect. Since I work in manufacturing, maintaining all settings, software, and licenses is critical, and minimizing machine downtime is a priority. Any recommendations?
