My Transporter NAS stopped working. The hardware is fine but the central admin website is down. Any suggestions on how I can retrieve the data stored on the encrypted drives?

Hey NAS Compares. I have 3 NAS systems... 2 Synology and 1 UNRAID.

I'm looking to set up 1 of the Synology NAS as an offsite backup solution for my main Synology NAS.

How do yall go about physically protecting the NAS(s) from a $5 wrench attack? Should all 3 NAS be encrypted? Basically how do I protect the data on my NAS(s) from someone physically stealing it?

As of now I'm encrypting the Hyper Backup to the remote NAS.

Cheers,
Normal Dude

Hello,
my friend czech youtuber David Kubrt, need storage for his videos and he wants something in his home, because he has slow internet connection. I do for him some IT things, so he asked me for some solution. We are looking on QNAP TS-873A-8G and 8x WD Gold 20 TB HDDs, maybe some RAM upgrade, M.2 SSD cache I don't think it is necessary ?

What is your recommendation ? And what RAID do you recommend 5 or 6 ?

Thanks for your help

Best regards,
Marek Ulbrich

Hi, would you have a recomendation for a mbl sim router sub £200. I am on a steel boat so would most likely need the option of an external antenna connection. Its needed for general internet access, gaming / streaming to smart tv.
I am curently on a 3 service and router with external antenna and struggling with buffering etc
Any advice would be much appreciated.

I'm a big fan of your YouTube channel, really informative and entertaining. Keep up the good work!

My use case is along the lines of your YouTube review on the Synology TVS H874, however I will use it with Zidoo playback devices but not with PLEX.

I believe Zidoo uses SAMBA 2 software to access ISOs.

If the Synology TVS H874 with Intel i7 will work best in my use case, what about adding SSD what will that add, if anything?

My collection is approximately 2,000 discs, CD, DVD and Blu Rays...

I look forward to your reply.


Most kindest regards,

Hello!

Thank you for the invaluable information you provide on your site. I'm considering investing in my first network storage solution, and I'm inclined towards Synology, given its reputed compatibility with the Apple ecosystem.

My primary use will be for home and family (total 4-6 users): backing up multiple iPhones, running Plex both locally and remotely, and serving as a general file server. Initially, I was contemplating the DS220+, but due to its bay limitations, I'm now leaning towards the DS920+. However, I'm also open to other options like a mini PC. My preference is for a user-friendly interface that's fast, won't lag, and requires minimal maintenance.

Highly appreciate your advice and looking forwards to hearing back from you.

Thanks

needing help on the whole nas device and server I bought a WD MYCLOUDEXL2 and its nice but in finding im constantly having to maintain its on something didnt sign out of emal an so on. I need help to help me with two laptops my mourher who lives in another state with one latptop and my grandfather who uses an old hp just fort suddenlink but has the poor hp so bogged down from pictures form many iphone libraries i need it all consolidated to one network

We installed a WD EX several years ago and it failed while in warranty. WD replaced it with a EX/DL 2100 series. It has been running for about 6 (or more) years with one major OS update. We don’t use MS AD but have many local users. Security to folders is troublesome. It continues to log CIFS unknown user errors. Anyway, with the age, I would like to update to newer technology and use the WD as a backup. We have many users that edit their files remotely as well as group folders and files.
Thank you,
