The WD Red SA500 is made as a primary NAS (e.g. for Synology NAS) SSD instead of HDD. In addition, there is the WD Red SN700, an NVMe drive that is also made for NAS. There is no price difference between the two drives, but there is a speed difference. My question is, can the WD Red SN700 be used with an NVMe to SATA adapter? , The NVMe drive is then limited to SATA 600 speeds, but can be faster in random 4K, Q32 read/write. Furthermore, is a cache disk still required if this works?

i have a qnap ts-251+ that has died. i've watched your video on the new TS-264 and think this is the way to go. is it possible to put the drives from the dead 251 into the new 264 and have it do a migration? 2 - 4gb drives in 251+ running raid for redundantcy. any tips or tricks that i should know and how should i proceed.

thank in advance

I am researching the Synology DS1522+ 5-Bay NAS and am confused by the Compatible Device listings on the Amazon sales page.

The Synology DS1522+ 5-Bay Desktop NAS, the Synology 5-bay DiskStation DS1522+, and the Synology 5-Bay DiskStation DS1522+ & M.2 2280 NVMe SSD SNV3410 ect., all only list the Desktop as the "Compatible Device." Whereas the Synology 4-bay NAS DiskStation DS920+ lists the "Compatible Devices" as "Smartphone, Television, Laptop, Desktop, Camera." I have included a screenshot.

Is it really the case that only the the Synology 4-bay NAS DiskStation DS920+ is compatible with mobile phones, or is this something entirely different? The Synology DS1522+ documentation only talks about Compatibility in terms of the kinds of hard drives you can use. It does say that you can "Access through web browsers, desktop clients, or mobile apps". But it does not specify what kind of DS1522+ it is talking about. 

Any insight you can provide would be sincerely appreciated.

want advice on a nas that would download photos from phone or lap top
automatically is a 4 aby like 418 still good

I have purchased a second hand QNAP TS-412.
(containing x4 3TB WD red drives)
How can I run the setup routine to configure this device.
I can see it in QFINDER but I have to enture it manualy as it doesn't find it on its own.
I can log into the NAZ with a browser using its i/p address and then into the admin page.
I then get this error,

System has detected that your DNS server can't resolve hosts, and some applications might not work properly.

Please go to " System Administration > Network > TCP/IP " , and check if you have entered the valid DNS server. If you are not sure what to use, please contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider) and ask for the correct information.

No matter what I do I can only get as far as this.
I have tried entering fixed i/p address's and fixed DNS but nothing works.

I’ve been troubleshooting intermittent loss of internet. I have Deco X55 x3, Main hooked to Cable modem and two others creating a wireless mesh in my home. Whenever I connect the DS920+ to the Deco (directly or through a switch) I get intermittent drops in my internet connection. Tech support from China has been a struggle due to hours and language. Tech emailed me today and said
"I guess that the NAS sent a flow control pause frame to Deco, which caused Deco to enter the flow control state. You can consult the technical support of NAS to see if there is a way to make NAS not to send pause frames. "

Does this make any sense? If so, any recommendations of how should I change my DSM networking settings? Currently running DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 5

I am an amateur photographer and I am looking to upgrade my file storage. Right now I have harddrives with photos on them most less than 1Tgb most 500 gig yes older ones.. I am going to buy new nas type hard drives mostly likely 4 gig.

My concern is do I buy aAsustor Drivestor 4 AS1104T - 4 Bay NAS with 1 gig of DDR4 ram

TERRAMASTER F4-210 4-Bay NAS 2GB RAM Quad Core Network Attached Storage Media Server

One user most likely wanting simple easy setup -

Please could you let me know if it's possible to upgrade my DS920+ to 2.5gbe.

If this is not possible which would you recommend, I like the look of the Qnap TS-464 hardware but Synology software is so much better and Nas's run quieter.

Love you and Eddie's work, much appreciated.

Kind regards,

Donald

Hi, I'm looking to upgrade my ageing DS213j and I'm struggling to decide between these 2 NAS enclosures. I don't need transcoding so the 923 seems like the better purchase due its expandability or am I being too simplistic? Does the 923 perform better than the 423 when running docker? My current NAS is used to store music, pics and movies streaming to devices at home over WiFi. However I really want to use docker and get more out of my NAS. Apart from transcoding does the 423 still have the superior CPU? I believe the recommended RAM on the 423 can be exceeded albeit not officially supported so I'm unsure if the 923 has any advantage in that dept. The final thought is I'm unlikely to need any more than 32tb BUT it'd be nice to futureproof the device as much as possible. That said the 423 can't use the Synology expansion module but does allow 72tb Vs the 50tb on the 923. As you can probably tell I'm trying myself in knots ?

Any advice or help would be gratefully received

Hello I am looking for a budget nas primarily for surveillance home use.
I need cameras that are wireless because where they’re going to go on the property there’s no power.


Thanks
