I was looking at the ds 224+ but the end of your video put me off
Which nas would suit me??
Thx for any advice you could offer!

Hi, I’m running a DS220+ with two 16TB ironwolf pro hdds, I have another 16TB, 12 TB and 6TB ironwolf hdds lying around. The main use of my current nas is for Plex and ideally I’d like to get to 6 bays so I can fully utilise my hdds and future proof my storage needs. Am I better off building or buying a new nas? Any of the newer synology nas products use ryzen cpu so would be unsuitable for hw transcoding. A 1621+ could set me back €1,000 and I’d end up buying something else to run Plex on. Wondering what my best options would be?

Hi
I just got a D-link Sharecentre Pulse 2 NAS, is there advice you can give me, as i'm new to the NAS family.

Thanks

Are you really sure that all capacity of 16 GB RAM module is 100% usable by CPU J4125 which support 8GB max.?

Thank you

Greetings,

I have been watching your YouTube for a while, a big fan.
I do have two Synologys (DS718+ and DS220j). I use 718 for my live system and the 220 for my backups of 718 (weekly).

I have my own webpage (coded by myself) that is currently running on GoDaddy.

Was thinking of hosting my website on a Synology. Advisable? Any good options?

Im setting up my fisrt NAS for a plex server. A 2 bay Synology (DS224+). To start my NAS i only purchased 1 8tb HDD. i want to eventually add a second to setup a raid. Is that possible? If yes how do i setup the first HDD until i get the secon one? Thank you!

Synology compatibility list includes no 3rd party drives, HDD or SSD for my newly purchased DS223. I recall your review suggesting that this would not be the case. \\can you recommend any suitable drives? Especially 2tb SSD.
Thanks

Hello !

I will need help to choose the best nas solution for a friends & family Plex !

Love your sight - I became aware of it in the UK when I was there a few years ago and it is the reason I went for a Synoloyg NAS 920+. I started with 2 WD Red Pro 6TB drives and then went to a 3rd using SHR-1. I finally went for a 4th but cannot get the 6TB so went for the 8TB. Ultimately I wanted to switch to SHR-2 because I also use it for my photos in addition to Time Machine backup. (The NAS is additionally backed up to a fire-proofed HD via HuperBackup via USB because I am anal about my pictures. The dilemma is the warning about not having a 4kn HDD to use the SHR-2 conversion. I have seen things about the WD "Hugo" program to convert the drives but I have a MAC. So, is this conversion possible or do I now have a 4 drive system with only a one drive back-up?

Thanks in advance.

Looking for recommendation on Server for my home office setup (1-5 people max) handling our architecture files/folders. Have run Cat6 wire, and have WD 2TB MyCloud wireless looking to upgrade. Have a server area set-up for future switch location and Fios Internet. Maybe you will have more questions. Thank you for insight!
