Greetings

I recently returned from a trip and loaded about 30,000 photos to a shared volume. The NAS was off for 2 weeks before I did this

Settings are btrfs, shr, currently 52% used of 13.96 TB. Adding photos may have nothing to do with it.

For the last day and a half I have been getting the error

The system failed to perform scheduled snapshot task on ENC because previous scheduled snapshot task is still running. Please check the Log page of Snapshot Replication for detailed information.

ENC is an encrypted shared folder, but it seems to indicate the issue is with a previous snapshot.

The NAS will not shut down from the android DS Finder app. I have not done the DSM 7.2 update, and the only recent update was to Node.js but I noticed V12 & V18 are both running

I'd appreciate any advice on what to do, or which task to shut down

Best regards

Thinking of using a NAS for a feature film shooting on ARRI Raw, then editing online using proxies. Basically store all large raw files on NAS until final export.

Largely based upon your content, and my desire to consolidate photos/videos/documents from numerous hard drives, I dove into my first NAS today (Amazon Prime Day). I ended up with the Synology DS923+ and two 8TB WD Red Plus HDD (16TB total). I have ~1.5TB of existing files and my network is Gigabit. Another use case is that I'd like to serve pictures of our kids from the NAS to wifi digital picture frames at grandparent's houses, which are out of state. Any tips on how to do that in DSM? I'd also like pics from our iPhone's to be backed up to the NAS automatically (instead of paying for Apple's iCloud). Is that possible or recommended with DSM? Lastly, we have a couple of dozen blu-rays and DVDs that we'd like to add to the NAS so the my son, who's a high school teacher, can access for his classroom. Is it possible to do that? Finally, I didn't buy the M.2 SSDs for this unit. Can I add them at anytime and will they help my use cases? Thanks for all that you do!

First off I love your videos and you've convinced me to buy this NAS. My idea would be to run this as a virtual machine and do video editing as well as a running Plex.

My question is should I buy the I9 or the I7. I'm familiar with all the additional features included in the I9 and am predisposed to buying the best of anything. That being said am I wasting money?

My video editing is mostly 4k drone.

I'm also thinking of running 8tb ironwolf HDD in raid 10 plus 2 WD black.2Tb M.2 SSD in raid 1 cache and OS for cyberlink powerdirexto suite.

What do you think. I7 or i9

Your youtube videos are brilliant!!

I have a synology DS120j with a 4 TB WD hard drive. I primarily use the device as a centralized backup file storage.

I am contemplating on purchasing a Synology DS224+ with 6 GB RAM in which I wish to setup 1-2 VMs and perhaps a Plex Server. Do you have any feedback and/or demonstrations on how the VMs are setup on a Synology. It would be helpful. I have not explored the VPN or WordPress options on the NAS yet.

I would appreciate you advise.

I have a QNAP TS-251 2-bay NAS that no longer recognizes the 2nd HDD, even though the drive is fine. Apparently, this is a common problem based on forums. I would like to replace the NAS with a new QNAP and I'm leaning toward purchasing the TS-464 4-bay.
I want to know if I'm able to migrate the existing WD30EFRX (3TB) drives to the new NAS and combine them with new WD80EFZZ (8TB) drives. Or if it is not recommended that I combine WD Red drives vintage 2015 with new WD Red Plus drives. Is there anything I should be aware of?
Thanks.

So I have Macs. My iCloud is full and they want nearly 10 quid a month for 2 TB. Nope. Time to get rid of the flimsy WD my Cloud for Time Machine and upgrade to a NAS. I need one with sone power to handle a large amount of photos jpg/raw Time Machine for a local laptop and keep things in sync across three Apple devices. BTW love the site but my head hurts Synology seem to have very similar devices and some with built in graphics on intel and other no so HELP! Cheers Andrew

I have a DS1515+ with upgraded RAM and 5 WD 6TB drives. It runs backup,File serveris, Plex (to Apple TV's) and 9 cameras in surveillance station.

Ive h=just had a drive go down and so ill replace to getvthe SHR pool back, but it got me thinking about splitting the system.. one NAS for Plex and Fileserver and one (the DS1515+) as a dedicated camera NAS as its spends a lot of time hitting the drives (all 2015 drives) and so when they die, It snot mission critical stuff.

Teh question is what to buy.. a 4 bay ?... a 2 bay with SSD's ?.. a $23+ or a 923+ or... etc etc etc.

Ill probably reduce the pool on the 1515 as I don't need all 27TB of SHR many options... any advice would help.

PS- I do not own a. PS5 and would not stream remotely to phone. Im mainly concerned about offloading the heavy camera work and splitting the workload.

Also... Im using Ubiquiti switches and it highlights the NAS load even more.... Two of the four rear ports are aggregated to the switch. best Adrian

I can't decide between 3 of the 2-bay NAS options available. Help!!!

I will use the NAS primarily for storage only, with my Nvidia Shield acting as a Plex Server (so no need for the NAS to do transcoding).

i have 2 x existing WD red 6TB WD60EFRX drives to use in the NAS.

I am tossing up between the following:

* QNAP TS-233
* Synology DS-223 (or 223J - not sure what the difference is?)
* Asustor Drivestor 2

Which one would you go with for my use case?

Afternoon NAS Compares team, I have stumble upon your videos through a friend's recommendation. Your reviews are pretty good depicted, have important and necessary specs even for me, a non-as technological person like probably a lot of your followers. I will learn more, I am learning more, I will get better!

Here I have a question I do not seem to find an answer. What level/type of internet bandwidth should I have to support the DiskStation® DS423+, for a 4 person team minimum, maximum 7-8 people, sharing files, software and using it in a business setting.

I was told I need to check on that prior to purchase the gadget and I do not know what is it I need to have/improve internet plan we currently have in order to support the diskstation's functionality. Any suggestion? Recommendation on where to look at? or answer will be very appreciated.

Thank you,

Lidia D.
