Hi,
Virgin replaced my home Hub 5 as it was faulty. This runs in modem mode as I have a couple of TP Link routers to ensure whole-house coverage. I restarted the network and everything is fine except I cannot now connect to the NAS. I have aTS-230 which was previously fine but now when I try and log on it says not on this network. I have tried a 3s reset with the reset switch on the NAS but still not on this network. I'm a bit out of my depth with this and worried as I don't want to lose any files.
Thanks,
Martin

Just about to order ds1821+ (I want the ds1823xs+ but don't like the limitations, you can talk me out of it, the hdd's won't change though)
(also, for ds1821+ I'm thinking Noctua, is that necessary whit ds1823xs+ swell?) with exes x16 16tb drives, dual 10gbe pie card and ram upgrade.

Should I opt for 64 over 32 gb of memory.
I'm going unofficial on my own risk and should I put name cache? For 128tb that would require BIG name's to complement that so please advice on those.

I would LOVE to be able to use the name's as pool, if I can, please advice on how and what to get. As big as possible.

Then for the raid itself, should I do 5, 6, ser or shr2. I guess im fine with the size for this build, so no changes in capacity. I don't plan on running any features except moving data, hopefully edit straight from nas and to set up cloud services for my clients so they have access to deliverys etc.

We use couple of Synology SA3400. We have many 1217sas extensions and stock of 8TB SAS drives. For new location I need to get another storage, but sa3400 are no longer available, sa3410 claim no compatibility with our extensions nor disks. I cannot find similar system taking SAS drives which we have a plenty and new. Use is video editing. Do you know any SAS drive solution of similar performance? Synology software is not a must a we only use SMB access and replicate this storage to other ones. Buying all (storage and sata drives we cannot afford).

I'm new to NAS and have been following your excellent QNAP setup videos. If I set up a shared folder are all folders below that automatically also shared folders? eg I've set up a media shared folder, I'm then going to have categories such as movies, shows, pictures....etc as sub folders. Hope that makes sense.

Want to run a VPN with a VM as server for PC inventory management software. Access by only a small group. Was thinking of something like TD-464 or TS-473A. Probably don’t even need 4 bays. Does this make any sense? Thanks

Best setup for home and family use with good reliabiliy. Mostly video and pictures.

First, thank you for your help. You got me set up with my NAS and I'm appreciated. Videos were wonderful.
That said, here is my predicament
NAS: Terramaster F5-221 (8Gb added RAM)
Issue: Jellyfin Hardware Transcoding doesn't seem to work and still runs CPU at 100 percent with any 4k movie.
I use my Xbox Series X as my media player of choice because it's my livingroom hub effectively. The Jellyfin App is just a webwrapper. That said... it's not the best supported. However, I don't mind transcoding down where needed. My biggest issue is that when I run items even when transcoding seems set up as advertised... my CPU runs at 100 percent. I'm trying to run VAAPI. I get same results on my PC through web (which I expect and I use to test.) Do you know what might be the issue here? Thank you in advance.

Hi Robbie et al,
Thanks for your QNAP 1st-time set-up videos. Learning a lot, and it's a tough slog.
NAS is QNAP TS453D, 4x4TB drives. Host computer is HP desktop, Windows 10. Initially 1 user (me). Later will add other devices and users. Thanks to Video #1 I have created one storage pool (4 disks), RAID 5, and 3 volumes, created and mapped 1 shared folder.
Next step (?) is to populate the NAS with “all” my data from the host computer, and to set up a means of keeping it up to date. I think (thanks to Video #2) I need to install and use Qsynch. Right? Wrong?? How should the data be copied to the NAS?
And, in plain language, what does “synch” actually mean? What is the source; what is the destination; what gets deleted when you “synch”? What are the rules for updates and deletions? I want the computer file to be the master; the NAS to be the backup file. Appreciate any explanation you can give, or you can point to me to.

Hi guys,

I have a DS920+ system set up for PLEX and for backing up laptops and phones etc but I want a separate system to use exclusively for photo cloud storage so I can dump google photos. So far I like Synology photos and want to continue in that ecosystem. I am considering the ds9223+ with two 8TB drives in SHR to start and then backing it up to the ds920+. I like the future proofing the DS923+ provides. Is this foolish? Or will it be good for a photo NAS.

thanks!

Is there an app or built-in function to TOS 5.1 that provides a terminal/console interface that can be used to execute commands such are scp etc. ?

Thanks
