I recently required an RS1821+ and noticed that you do not have any ECC RAM compatibility suggestions for this, which I assume means there is nothing known at this time. However, I noticed that there are other models that seem to use the same RAM identifier (RAMEC2133DDR4-16G) which points to this URL (https://a.co/d/iBUeyS4) for Crucial modules. Do you have any insight to know if this is compatible with the RS1821+? I'm hoping to get 4 x 16 Gb modules to max out this unit without breaking the bank with the ones from Synology.

On an unrelated note:
By the way, I have a DS1621xs+ that I have successfully been using the v-Color modules with 2 x 16 Gb modules. I noticed that this page suggests that v-Color is an option but the link goes to Kingston. I'm not sure if Kingston is compatible or if it's the wrong URL. It doesn't matter to me but I want to point it out.

Thanks in advance!

Hello, I am looking into a Synology DS923+ for 3 main reasons:
1. setup family photo and video storage
2. Personal video file storage for wedding video business. I would like to be able to edit videos from files stored on NAS.
3. Backup files through RAID storage

I like Synology for their photo management software. And the 4-bay unit should fit my current and future needs. Upon further research, I saw advice about upgrading to 10GbE for speed and M.2 SSDs for caching. Would you recommend these upgrades for my purposes?

Hi there,
I hope you can help me.

I’m looking for a replacement for my 10+ year old Netgear ReadyNAS Duo V2 which is now very out of date!

I use it for backing up 2 laptops, and storing and serving my music collection using Squeezebox.

Some SB forums have suggested I keep my ReadyNAS as storage only and use a NUC for the server, but I don’t understand why I’d do that when NASs can do it all in one?

A 2 bay is fine for my usage and I’m not running the international space station from it, so cheaper is better (£200ish?). However from what I understand I think Squeezebox is best run on an Intel system, which seems to put me in the mid-price range.

Also I really like the look and feel of my ReadyNAS, which is mostly dark grey metal with a metal door grill and easily removable drive bays.

So there’s your challenge: A good looking 2-bay NAS capable of running Squeezebox for another 10 years, for £200!

Many thanks in advance, Marc

Hello

Hopefully you can point me in the right direction. I currently have a synology 920+ 40gb storage m.2 drive cache 8 gig of memory. on the local lan it works flawlessly with out any hiccups

recently upgraded internet to 1 gig on both ends still ame problem Any help on buying the right product to remote stream all newer formats would be appreciated thank you very much

i have a drobo 4 bay DAS. I need a new DAS for my plex media. I loved the drobo software that enabled the different disk size and ability of adding a bigger drive later on. Is there any DAS either 4 or 5 bay that you would recommend that could do something like that. If not what would you suggest as an alternative option then.

I am looking for a NAS for personal use, like backing up our iPhones and our photos. Streaming movies on TV Backing up our files and other stuff Also, I am a passionate YouTuber, so I want to store some YouTube video and audio assets to access wirelessly. Kindly suggest a feature-rich, good one.

Hello gents!

DS 923+ is the machine and pondering of upgrading the stock memory.
I am thinking 16GB on a single module for starter and another 16GB to come in the future.

The question is:
Until all 32GB get to be installed, can I use the stock 4GB memory along with the upgrade of 16GB to total temporarily 20GB of memory or the different size of the modules makes them incompatible?

Would like to have a short reply from you, whenever you get to find some time.
Thanks
Stelios

Hey Guys!

First of all I want to thank you for your videos, they really help a lot.

And today I am writing you because I have a problem with my NAS, I have a DS918+ with 2TB HDD on each bay and it full, I wanted to upgrade to the Iron wolfs 8TB., but because it is full and usually it is being used by either me or my family to watch Plex movies and series, I do not know what is the best way to replace the drives and expand the storage, so any help I would appreciate it a lot.

Best regards,

Khalid

Budget includes buying the drives; but I am looking for something to replace and dramatically upgrade my Drobo 5N. I run a business and have tons of client files (images, photoshop designs, videos, etc); but also personally we have all our home movies, photos, etc…I’d like to also be able to use something like Plex to stream those movies to our TV, etc. I’ve watched so many of your videos and I’m torn between all the options. 4 bay? 6 bay? Qnap? Synology? I’m looking for suggestions. Thanks!

I think I made a mistake when I added a 2nd disc to my QNAP TVS-H874. My first 18tb disc was set at single raid, and I added a second 18tb disc that became raid group 2 (Single). How can I get the new (2nd disc) to be on the same raid group?
