I have a DS1821+ Synology, is it possible to use both the NVME slot and the NVME PCIE card in the slot at the same time so i can use one set for cache and one set for storage. I would like to know before i run out and buy the NVME PCIE card.

  DAS - NAS
Posted by: Enquiries - 06-14-2023, 05:00 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Hi, I'm a 6K and 8K video editor, and I use Davinci Resolve 18 with a Mac Studio UltraM1 for editing. I'm looking for a DAS rather than a NAS solution to do my Multicam editing.
Thank you in advance for your advice.

  Upgrading storage for an archive
Posted by: Enquiries - 06-14-2023, 11:30 AM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Hi, first off love your site! I work for a small personal archive (1 or 2 employees), digitising photographic media, video and music. Our current setup uses Promise Pegasus Thunderbolt RAID DAS units (Pegasus R6 & a Pegasus2 R8) backed up to Terramaster D5-300 units which have given pretty faultless service over the last few years, but I'm running out of space and as these are old units now which don't support large drive sizes then we need to upgrade. I've always gone the DAS route so as to keep the archive offline but am now wondering about a desktop NAS which I will just use on the LAN. I'd combine all the data from the two Promise units onto one large NAS/DAS which will be the main "server" using RAID6, backed up to another unit locally with periodic backups to a third unit off-site via VPN. The new T9-450 sounds good so maybe just get 3 of those, or maybe 2 and a D8 T3 or D8-332?

  Transcoding Plex server
Posted by: Enquiries - 06-13-2023, 04:30 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Good morning from france,

I'm contacting you because I have a problem that I can't solve.
I currently use a SYNOLOGY DS923+ NAS with plex installed and my library, an Apple TV 4k 2021 and a 4K Oled TV.
I would like the transcoding not to be done on the server side but on the client side (Apple TV) to take full advantage of the 4K quality. I noticed that there was an option in the Plex account but it doesn't work when I enable or disable it. When I launch a good quality 4k movie (50GB) I get an error message that the server is not powerful enough. I don't have a plex subscription, what advice would you have?

Thank you in advance

Bastien

  NAS for Plex and back up
Posted by: Enquiries - 06-13-2023, 01:30 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Thanks to your site I'm looking to get the Synology DS423+ with 4 4TB drives set for RAID 5.

I want to run Plex on it, but I also want to use some of it as a backup for some other documents. Can I use it as a Plex server AND a normal NAS? I've looked all over and it seems to never be mentioned when talking about Plex.

Thanks
