Dear Eddie / Robbie,
I am wathich your youtube channel and already found a lot of valuable information that helped me with my QNAP TS-673.
As I plan to move forward, I started thinking about Synology NAS (my sister got for her business 923+) and I liked the simplicity of Synology.
I am puzzled if I should stick with QNAP based on my new requirements.

NAS requirements:
- min 4 bay, 6 is OK
- 4 CPU cores (preferred)
- sync between NAS same brand (over internet too)
- backup email and workspace (google), data, photos
- video pass-through (Does Ryzen has it?)
- multimedia streaming
- survileance 2-4 cameras
- user friendly interface, straighforward, responsive, smooth experience
- good tech support
- min 2.5GB lan or PCI port
- virtual machine (1 is OK)
- encryption of data
- nvme ports (option)
- integrated GPU (preferred)
- no need to buy additional licences
Not needed: scalability, video editing
Don't like about QNAP: slugish, not intiutive, for IT geek, security issues.
Thank you

Thanks so much for instruction vid on setting this up PLEX on NAS.

I was using NAS for Content storage and running Plex server on Windows PC.

I have 2 questions

1. Created new server on SYN DS920 and all worked fine with the exception of Music. Plex can find any albums. Have pointed to correct folder and granted permission to Plex to R/W. Not sure how to trouble shoot. TV,movies & Pictures worked fine.

2. Is there any way to copy metadata (predominately on watch I have watched) from windows Plex server to NAS plex server.

There was a help on plex around copying all meta data but thought this might cause issues because directories ( although both same physical location) are described differently in windows OS & NAS OS

Thanks is advance for any help you can provide

looking at picking up 923 model and wondering what drives would work best and what nvme modules as well as memory upgrade would work.
thanks

Hi,
We have a small business. There are only 3 of us. We currently have our data on Dropbox and share our files between us this way. Can we go with a NAS system? We only need to be able to access our files between us, and it would be nice to access them outside the office as well.

I was thinking of backing up the NAS to carbonite? What do you think is our best option?

Our files are between 100MB to 250MB. They are Autodesk Revit files. We would need to prevent someone else from accidentally accessing a file if we have it in use.

Thanks!

I would very much like to be able to be able to exclude select Windows PC folders from the Active Backup (device) backup process. I see that I can instead target specific folders for backup if I'm willing to set them up as network shares on the Windows PC but that is a totally impractical solution. I bought a DSM723+ with a pair of 12TB drives to replace an old HP Windows Media Server (getting difficult to maintain) and it had this ability to exclude folders from backup and it really is a necessary feature for any Windows PC backup application.

Hey Guys! I cannot believe how many countless hours I have spend researching into storage solutions for my small business and can't seem to decide on the best solution. With your wealth of knowledge I would love any & all insight you could provide. Here's what I am up against-

Currently, I store client content virtually on iCloud Drive for easy access to photos or short videos for clients to create marketing/social content.

Additionally, I have a client whom we shoot a podcast for & are aiming to sell space for tv where our recording -3camera 4k set up becomes extensive in the storage realm.

With these in mind, my 40tb (2x 20tb) external HDD aren't cutting it. Too much valuable information & content to risk. Also, the iCloud Drive solution works perfect for my business minus 1 flaw- iCloud doesn't share tags which makes it difficult to work on things together with an employee or contractor making organizing more difficult (also protecting the client data *redundancy)

I like to know is there any alternatives app available in netgear for Readynas where i can access my photo,Doc,etc remotely.?

Thanks in advance

I have a very quick question for you I have a couple of ip cameras and would just like your opinion on what qnap Surveillance software would you recommend all it will be used for is basic home security.

Best regards
Danny

Hello,

I'm rather new in the IT world and have little experience with NAS unfortunately.
In the company I work, I found 3 NASs we do non currently use and wondered which one would be the best to host 10TB of space for videos, photos and similar media. The marketing department needs to access them frequently.
These are devices I have:
WD DS414j
D-LINK DNS-323
NETGEAR - READYNAS DUO RND2000 V2

I kindly await your reply
Thank you

Hi there,
I have been following your videos of Youtube to install and do configuration with anything related to the two NAS we have at the office.

We had our first NAS only for a year and everything worked fine. However, we started having a lot of problems since I installed the second NAS, and since it can get pretty technical, I believe I didn't set the proper configurations for the second NAS. I get issues all the time with IP conglict, and I can't manage to donwload a VPN configuration that can work for any of the NAS.

Would you be able to give me some consultation about it?

Thank you in advance,
Julia
