Goal: 4x 16TB in SHR-2 = 32TB storage. Already 1x 16TB (ST16000NM001G) running. Budget, so I'd like to use that drive in SHR-2, and retain all data on nthat drive. Same drives still available.
Step 1: 3x 16TB in SHR-2. Step 2: copy current drive to SHR-2. Step 3: delete current drive. Step 4: scaling to 4 drives with current drive. Or ...
Step 1: 3x 16TB in SHR. Step 2: copy current drive to SHR-2. Step 3: switch form SHR to SHR-2. Step 4: delete current drive. Step 5: scaling to 4 drives with current drive.
Can I use my current ST16000NM001G together with 3x ST16000NM002G ?

Hi there,
Just read your incredible detailed article about memory upgrade of a NAS.
I have a DS713+ for over a decade now. Never swapped hard drives nor upgraded the memory. But I guess it’s about time ;-)
Are you able to give me advise on:
1. Type of hard drives that are compatible -> Amazon
2. Type of memory that is compatible -> Amazon
3. Can I upgrade the memory upto 8gb ? (My brother has a DS216 and did this upgrade)
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Dimitri

Backup External Hard Drive to NAS |

I have an external hard drive that I want to back up to my NAS. I have been looking through your YouTube videos, but I am having trouble finding the right video. My ideal scenario is that when I plug my hard drive into my computer, I can easily upload any new files to my Synology NAS device. Whether you can direct me to the correct YouTube video or offer advice, any help is appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Hello...Have TS832XURP and DS253D NAS in home office. Recently upgraded to Windows 11 Pro. Cannot figure out how to map network drive using an Office365 account.
On the TS832XURP I have 8 8TB Iron Wolf Drives, on the TS253D I have 2 8TB Iron Wolf drives.
It seems I have watched every Youtube video on mapping drives but I still have a permission problem I cannot figure out.
I do not mind paying for support services if it helps me get my NAS's back.
Can You help me?
Thank You
David Harms

Good Morning,
I Just watched your Video, Best 2-Bay NAS of 2022/2023
Please can you help me decide between the;
QNAP 253E (Better software)
LOCKERSTOR 2 Gen2 (AS6702T) (Better Hardware)
They both seem great, yet the LOKERSTOR has better hardware
LOCKERSTOR is £100.00 less expensive?
Much Appreciated, Thank You, Nigel

is 1GB RAM enough? |

Hey guys/girls...
I run a Plex server on a standalone 24/7 PC (9th gen i3, 16GB RAM)
I point it to my DS418 for media location and it works perfectly, i need to add more drives so looking for 2nd 4 bay NAS.
Im tossing up between Synology DS420J and Terramaster F4-210 1GB RAM model.
Purely on cost...
As the new NAS only has to store the files and isnt the machine that is hosting the Plex Media Server, is 1GB RAM enough?
My biggest files are 2hr movies up to about 60GB but most movies are around 20GB and TV shows in 1080p, i can keep my 4K files on the DS418 if need be.
anyone have any insight, id really not like to spend much more than these models.
my DS418 runs Synology Photos backup and also Synology Surveillance Station with 1x4K and 1x2K PoE Cams, along with holding files for my Plex Server.
Thank you

Which is more future proof QNAP TVS-h1288X or TVS-h874? |

Hello, I currently have a TS-451+ but want to expand to at least a 8 bay. I currently use my NAS for Plex and device backup but am looking to expand my Plex collection for 4k, continue with device backup but add surveliance for 8 cameras and a PCI slot for GFX card (to help with encoding). I was looking at the QNAP TVS-h1288X but was unsure if it is still as future proof considering its 2 years old and the TVS-h874 i5 version (unable to find i7 version here) seems very impressive.
With what I am looking to use it for, which is more future proof QNAP TVS-h1288X or TVS-h874?
Regards
Vince

Upgrading from DS918 with plex transcoding? |

Hi
I have a DS918+ (16GB RAM/16TB store). Currently used for Plex, website / Database with docker occasionally. I am using 80% storage
Initially was thinking just disks but am now thinking of setting up as a new NAS with the 918 becoming backup (currently using an old Netgear)
I was looking at DS923 but am put off by the transcoding. I am put off the DS920 for not being able to upgrade RAM. Some media may be H265 and my TV will not transcode client side. I don't have any 4k media (yet)...
Should I stick with Synology (which I like) or move to a different brand with the main use being Plex and storage?
Am I worrying about the transcoding too much or will the CPU manage a 1080p H265 server side OK?
I did watch your video on the DS922 transcoding and saw the buffering with 4k but what about 1080p?
I am overthinking all this?
Many thanks
