Can the LAN cable be disconnected from the camera after setup. If not, how is it accommodated when the camera is installed?

Also, does it support WiFi6 ?

I need to replace my old Synology DS209+II. Right now I am looking at the Synology DS943. I need to know the best way to configure it to meet my needs today and in the future. Basically I want to
1 - use it as a media server - currently use Plex, eventually migrate to Zappiti
2 - Starting to do video processing on my PC. I hear how many applications can use the NAS as the PC hard drive, with little latency in processing the videos.
3 - Photo storage and distribution - currently use Synology Photo Station 6 so clients can see the photos I have taken for them.
4- Of course backup.

I saw your video about using M.2 NVMe SSD in storage pools. When the video was created, there were some caveats around using m.2 as storage pools. Is that still the case? Does it have to be Synology M.2's? How big a performance improvement will I see.

Thanks in advance

I watch your DVA1622 review recently (great work by the way) and have a question about something you mentioned at around the 7:45 mark related to SSDs. I have 2 x 14tb WD Red Pro drives in my 1622 and was considering moving to 2 x 4tb WD Red SSDs in hopes of improving system performance. But, based on what I gathered from your video, I shouldn’t expect to see a lot of performance improvements with SSDs. Would you mind explaining why? I currently have 4 - 4k 30fps cameras that record continuously.

I'm being sold a solution with AP's that One 2.5 Gbps multigigabit Ethernet port but selling me switches with 1GB ports. How does that work?

I actually own a 10 years 2TB DS213j
I'm very happy with DSM but it's really really getting slow and it's almost not usable anymore. Photos app is not working properly
I need a NAS to access my camera raw files that are quite heavy (30MB each) and camera and drone files.
I also need docker to run Home Assistant and Ubiquity Unifi so it has to be x86.
I'd take DS220+ but I'm worried about the product lifecycle because it's 3years old now. I'd consider DS723+ but I don't know if my use case would benefit from caching and the different processor technology (less media oriented)
I'd also consider DS423+ but probably 4TB is not enough to consider it.
I waiting for the DS220+ successor but I don't know if it will ever come.
What do you think?

I currently have a Synology DS220J which doesn't support 1080p on Plex. It can also struggle if I'm downloading files to it while trying to watch Plex at the same time.
I was thinking of upgrading to a DS220+ but they are around $500 AUD on Amazon and I'm uncertain if I can simply swap my drives straight over.
I'd love some advice on whether there is anything I can do to improve my 220J's performance or whether I should consider another NAS.
Thanks in advance.

Hey,
If I manage a small office and want to backup our Google Workspace, Office 365 and company devices to a NAS (at all times, so it may include a VPN server), then backup all that content to a remote NAS. what would you recommend?

I saw Plex just laid off 20% (37). Should we be concerned? What do you recommend as an alternative? Do you want to address this on one of your YouTube releases?

Thank you for all you do. I bought a DS14play before I started following you, and a DS920+ and two Reolink cameras based on your recommendations

Our current storage server is a Quantum StorNext Xcellis SAN. We have 2 physically separate volumes. One for video editing and the other for graphics/animation. Our Quantum reaches EOL March 2024 so I am looking to replace it

My main concern is keeping my editors happy being able to edit 6k BlackMagic RAW footage from the SAN using DaVinci Resolve. I've been conflicting things from potential vendors on why I should opt towards a SAN environment over a NAS

I was hoping for some guidance in finding an appropriate solution

Thank you!!!

Hi

i'm a curently looking to get my first nas for video editing. I would be the only editor. I curently edit of samsung t5 disks so I assume 500mbs would be fine for editing? I edit 4k files in blackmagic raw. I'm wondering what kind of specs I should look into? How much would it be to spend for a budget option vs somthing really good?

thanks in advance!
