Hi, thanks for your efforts on the NAS world ! I'm writing to you just for an hint as i cant find anything about the model WD60EFPX and what do you think about this disk for a simple home NAS. I've found it at a very reasonable price while the WD60EFZX is a bit more expensive and i was wondering the differences between these 2 models. Many thanks ! Have a nice day

Which NAS? |

Hey guys,
Been watching some of your videos on YouTube recently and they've been great, having not known much about NAS boxes until now.
During the renovation of my home, I have installed Cat6 cabling throughout, with the plan to have network to every room.
My plan was to have a small home network, where my wife and I have something storing all our movies, music and files, where we can access from whatever room in the house.
Currently, I have around 600 or so DVDs i'd like to have on this network storage and be able to access on something like Plex.
Can you advise what would be the best option you would recommend?
Currently dont have a specific budget in mind, as it costs what it'll cost.....as long as it's not something way over expensive! lol
Hope you can lend your expertise to this little query of mine.
Many thanks,
Mat

Hello. I'm looking for a solution for remote storage our our NVR videos from our business and am just learning about NAS as a possible solution. What is your recommendation for a NAS with the simplest and easiest setup to remotely backup our video files from an NVR? Thank you.

DS920+ Timetec 16GB did not work, Crucial does work |

Quick note/input after trying a couple of recommended options for a DS920+ running the latest version of DSM as of 5/16/2023.
NO it did not work in DS920+
Timetec 16GB DDR4 2666MHz (DDR4-2666) PC4-21300 (PC4-2666V) Non-ECC Unbuffered 1.2V CL19 2Rx8 Dual Rank 260 Pin SODIMM Laptop Notebook PC Computer Memory RAM Module Upgrade (16GB)
YES it works in DS920+
Crucial RAM 16GB DDR4 3200MHz CL22 (or 2933MHz or 2666MHz) Laptop Memory CT16G4SFD832A
Thank you for your posting and write-u. It was very helpful expanding my memory needs.
I would also recommend to those people who use Plex (native or containerized) and high traffic docker containers on their standard HDDs to consider using a couple of M.2 NVMe SSDs or SATA SSDs now that DSM supports pining all Btrfs metadata to an SSD cache. This resulted in a massive increase in response times loading content over just having a large RAM cache to use with the HDDs.

NAS be damned, why is this so difficult? |

Hey! TL R be it LTT forum or reddit, i can't seem to find the advice i need. Please help if you can.
What i want:
- Store my movies, shows, games, pics, etc
- Stream my movies, 1080p most of the time, 4K would be good too but not a world ending if i have to move them to my device if the NAS can't handle it.
- Would mostly use it local only, but having an option to use it safely on my phone/laptop somewhere else would be very nice too.
- Would like to be capable of maybe hosting a password manager on it, or other usefull gadgets.
- I'd like to cache it with an M.2 and while i have 2.5Gbit capability, i don't think i'll see more than 1Gbit as a must have.
- By the sounds of it, Synology has the software i need, but QNAP has the hardware.
I have the QNAP TS-464-4G for 659USD and the Synology DS423+ for 518USD available. I don't mind buying extra ram and m.2 caching for them.
Which one would be the best for me? Do i need more than 8GB ram? Could the QNAP house a Quadro for 4k?

I am interested in investing in a nas storage device with the purpose of storing and streaming media on local computers and occassionaly hosting and storing lightwieght virtual machines such as linux.
I was considering getting a Synology DS423+ or a DS923+ or else buying an old dell poweredge server for the same use case. Which would be ideal to get? I do have IT Knowledge and I am fairly confident in working with IT equipment.

What exactly are EXOS X20z HSMR HDDs by Seagate? |
Posted by: Enquiries - 05-16-2023, 07:30 AM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A

I need information on a specific HDD within the Seagate enterprise lineup, known as the "EXOS X20z"—specifically the SATA ST18000NM013J and/or ST20000NM001J.
These are supposedly HSMR (hybrid) drives, and are implied to utilize two different capacities depending on usage, either 18TB CMR or 20TB (when formatted in SMR Mode). Does anybody have reliable information or hands-on experience with the EXOS X20z HDD, or if they'll even operate in personal and/or consumer NAS setups due to their seemingly complex nature?
Other than a lone product spec sheet from Seagate, I have no other info to go off of. Any help before purchase is appreciated.
Thanks.

Need advice: Netgear ReadyNAS Pro to TrueNas |

Hi, i have old Netgear ReadyNAS pro, it is 6 bay nas but it is too slow and i can't make it seamlessly work with iOS and android. I have old Dell desktop with i5 processor and was wondering if it would make sense to build TrueNas system out of it and those drives that i already have, will it make any performance difference? I need a system that would be easy with iphones and android phones to automatically backup photos/videos and be accessible in Mac and Windows also. Thank you so much for your advice.
