I have a Synology NAS as well as QNAP NAS. Recently, QNAP released an update of its Virtualization Station that cause wide spread havoc. ( The app became "disconnected" from its VM's and there was no way to "reconnect" them. It was if they had all gone up in smoke. In actuality, the VM files were still intact and right where they used to be.) I was included in that havoc but it has been fixed now. One QNAP owner posted on a forum that because he had a snapshot of his volume, he was able to restore his system to a prior state. When I look at my Synology snapshots, I only see the ability to take snapshots of shared folders and a couple of system folders. But no ability to take snapshots of apps and their related settings. So, is this not possible on Synology ? Is there a way to protect a Synology NAS from the issue that occurred with some of these QNAP's ?

Hello,

I've been researching different types of NAS and there are a lot of terms I do not understand lol... I basically need a "cloud-like" storage to store photos, videos, and documents from multiple devices: iPhone, Android, MacBook, and Windows laptop. We want to be able to upload our phone wirelessly (via wifi/data using an app). I really don't know much about tech at all so any help would be greatly appreciated. So far on Reddit, I've been advised to get a Synology. If you do think that's the best for me, which model do you think is best for these purposes? We do want to be able to increase the storage, if need be, in the future when our son starts using it as well. We want this to last for as long as possible but also have great security where we won't lose our family memories. I am a teacher so I will be uploading lots of Word and PowerPoint documents, and my husband will be uploading AutoCAD and Excel documents for work.

Hello folks,

you're videos on the LincStation N1 has really peaked my interest. Wasn't really aware of the product before seeing it on your channel.

Could you measure how much power the system used when idle and no drives are installed to establish a baseline for comparisons with other systems?

Also, did you try to use powertop to further optimize power consumption on the device? There's a nice guide over on the Unraid forums on how to do this:

https://forums.unraid.net/topic/98070-reduce-power-consumption-with-powertop/

With the rising energy costs and the need to protect the environment, having a system save as much energy as possible has becoming a growing concern of mine and would surely be of interest for other users as well.

I am trying to set up a NAS Media Server for my family with our old collection of DVDs. Since we all live further apart, I need something that can possibly handle the possibility of simultaneous connections and streams. We are all fine streaming as native resolution so transcoding is not a big deal. 1-2 bay budget options would be preferred.

Hi need help selecting the right router for a very unique project of mine? Thanks..

PLS GUIDE WHICH NAS IS BEST (EVEN IF PRICE IS HIGHER) FOR HOME USE. I WANT LATEST SOFTWARE FAST SPEED IE if I want to access my NAS for accessing and downloading my data from/to NAS when I am out of my house and I need that it should be very fast. Pls guide whether qnap ts 262 two bays or Asustor AS 5402T OR AS 6702 would be better. I am ready to pay higher price for the premium product which must be latest launch and with latest technology. Whether the abovementioned NAS can be used for home use or specially they are made and can only be used for business. Kindly guide and suggest out of the above Nas or any other Nas you may so deem fit for my home above requirement. Thank you so much in advance. Would be grateful for your guidance.

Please help. I wanted to upgrade a drive in my JBOD Synology 423 NAS, I copied all the media from it onto another drive on the NAS, took the drive out then got a warning that the drive was no longer present when I turned in back on it beeped and told me the drive was no longer present. I deleted the drive from the NAS only to then realise I'd taken out the wrong drive,
I haven't lost any info. It's now just on a BTRFS drive that I can't access. Is there anyway I can get the media copied to another drive. I've tries WINbtrfs but can't get it working on my laptop.

Good day to all!
I am looking for A recommendation for a Synology Nas to include Storage to be used primarily as a Plex media server incorporating Sonarr, Radarr etc. I will be playing locally most of the time but maybe occasionally stream outside home but that is not a priority. Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!!!

I was in the market for a new NAS to replace my Synology 413J. I had decided on the 2 bay synology 224+, but after watching your video comparing the 423+ you persuaded me that it had to be a 4Bay the 423+. I then came across your video on the comparison between the Synology 423+ and the 923+ confused again. After a lot of thought it’s the Synology 923+ which I’ve ordered on Amazon earlier today. I want to upgrade the ram with a 16GB module ( not Synology)
I’ve seen the Kingston Server Premier 16GB 2666MT/s ECC CL19 SODIMM 2Rx8 Hynix
D- KSM26SED8/16HD, it recieved excellent reviews on Amazon. What’s your thoughts, have you any other suggestions? By the way I tried ordering through your link, but it didn’t work. I really appreciate your videos and help.
Kind regards
