My 251+ has died, can i use the drives in a 262

""Only Features Microsoft Co-Pilot out the box – Hard/impossible to easily switch to ChatGPT or DeepSeek etc"" - - this statement that using Grok 3, or Deepseek R1, CHATgpt 4o, is hard to impossible is very concerning IF TRUE - IS THIS TRUE? Does this system support non-proprietary AI programs? Thank you.

Hi, I've just seen your video on remote access to the Asustor nas. Having little network knowledge I would like to have the help of a professional on the subject to configure it.

It's mainly to add as storage my nas on my phone (Fold 6) and use the native gallery as a photo library.

But depending on the level of security, I could also use it for my business.

Is videoconferencing possible? If so, when and at what cost?

Thanks in advance,
Oussama

Hi! I love watching the youtube channel!

I am looking for an affordable entry level NAS I can use for family photos, business documents, and some docker containers for things like immich and vaultwarden. I like the idea of a small NVME NAS like the GMKTec NucBox G9. Reason: I'd like to have a small 8u server rack similar to what Jeff Geerling and other youtubers have been setting up.

I would like to run TruesNAS or OMV. I also care about hardware the will be stable for a long while.

I have been using plex on a NAS for a few years now, but the other day I decided to upgrade the version, from 1.30 to 1.41, but it would not load afterwards. I eventually reset my NAS, started again from scratch (following your videos on You Tube) but I still cannot get it to work. It just whirs away for hours on end and never loads, and at the moment there is no data on the NAS. Where am I going wrong?

i try for some time to opdate my ram but it det not work ..
i need the max as you say 32 g .. but befor i use time on amezon .. i need to know it will work ..
can you send me a link to one that is fast and works for that old qnap ..

I’ve always enjoyed your videos and recently purchased the Jonsbo N5 based on your excellent build video. I’ve yet to carry out my build as I’ve been a little under the weather. I had two questions which doesn’t seem to be covered in the manual.

When it comes to connecting from the PSU to the two separate drive bay PCB’s, as you say in your video there is a mixture of molex power and Sata power connections.

1) Do I need to just power with molex or just power with Sata or Both?

I’m replacing the stock fans with noctua 120mm fans.

2a) Am I correct in assuming the stock rear fans all plug into the pcb’s and run at 100% with no control?

2b) The fans I plan to replace them with are pmv fans, could I feasibly run those from my motherboard or is that not advised.

Hopefully you can find the time to answer my questions and I’d be really appreciative if you could

Thank you

Hello Robbie, I hope you’re doing well!

I’m looking to purchase a 4-bay NAS and am deciding between the Synology DS923+ and DS423+. I am a medium-advanced home user, and my primary use cases are file storage/backup and running a PLEX server for movies. Most of the data will be accessed locally, with occasional remote access. Movies will mainly be streamed via PLEX via Apple TV at home, occasionally remotely.

What I’m unclear about is whether e.g. MKV video files played by PLEX in Apple TV require on-device decoding, in which case I’d lean towards the DS423+ for its CPU, or if they don’t, making the DS923+ (or DS925+ !) a better choice for overall performance.

I’d really appreciate your insights on this. Thanks in advance for your help!

Kind regards,
Jan

Before I buy this system, I need to know for sure that other LLMs will run fully compatible - and your article says: - ""Only Features Microsoft Co-Pilot out the box – Hard/impossible to easily switch to ChatGPT or DeepSeek etc"" - if you do not know about this, please give me a contact to find out for sure... thank you

Hello,

I am a home user looking for advice on a new NAS to purchase in 2025.

I currently have an old 8 Bay Synology DS1813+ that I simply use as a storage box as it can't do any heavy processing and I have a newer yet still old 14 bay QNAP TVS-1282-T3 (8x Mechanical, 4x SSDs, 2x M.2 drives).

My goal is to ultimately phase out my Synology DS1813+ or give it to a friend, Set my QNAP TVS-1282-T3 as a secondary NAS and setup a NEW NAS that can do some heavy computing and transcoding as a replacement to my 24/7 Plex server.

I've just ordered 8x Seagate Exos 24TB from ServerPartDeals and would love to hear what you would suggest as a transcoding monster that would have the same 8+ mechanical drives, SSD drives and M.2 drives.

The NAS does not have to be out yet, but it DOES have to be a Desk solution and not a rack solution as I cannot user a rack in my home. A CPU with integrated graphics or a NAS with a GPU slot would be a must. 2.5g, 5g and 10g would be great.

Thank you
