I am looking for a NAS system for personal storage of documents photo and video, but also to view and edit these. The system shall be min. 16 TB capacity, for this I am looking for 32 TB considering raid 1 configuration. The system shall store all my memories and traveling stories.

The software shall be friendly, useful for working on local PC or able to view via smart tv.

Solution for attached CCTV surveillance cameras are wise to have.


Can you give a feedback here.
Thank you for your help

Kind regards Marian

I got myself a DS1823xs+ for better or worse, I'm not sure yet. I feel like I'm in a battle with Synology just for the right to use this thing how I want. I was able to migrate my storage pool from my plus series in order to get SHR on this thing. My wife loves red but I find green to be more calming so I used the syno hdd script to turn my unverified WD Red Pro 20TB drives from red to green. I had two 1TB IronWolf 525 drives installed and I was surprised to see the option available to set them up as a storage pool instead of just caching. I created a RAID0 just to test it out and they are working great. Unfortunately I've only got 1.8TB's of usable space and my speed is slightly limited. 

My question is:
If I buy two 1TB SATA SSD's could I create a storage pool (RAID0 or RAID5) combining the two NVMe drives and the two SATA SSD's?

On their website they claim Tunderbay 8 delivers Pro-grade transfer speeds: up to 2,586MB/s real-world tested speed with Thunderbolt 3 port. Thunderbay 4 delivers up to 1527MB/s performance. I tried to ask them directly but the only answer I got was that 8 bays are faster than 4 bays. Is this this only explanation?

I am looking to decide on one or the other soon. My storage needs can be satisfied with Thunderbay 4 but if Thunderbay 8 delivers that much faster performance, I don't mind shelling the extra $$$.

Would appreciate any guidance.

Hi,

Is this particular RAM suitable for DS1522+ please?

Hello. Based on the positive review of the QHora-322 on your YouTube channel I purchased the unit and have found the setup that it’s delivered to be what I can only describe as ready for an Enterprise install.
Each port appears to have its own ip address table and you can’t even ping a pc that’s connected to a different port.
I need some help to dumb the current setup down to what one would expect from a typical domestic router as I’ve not been able to get any guidance from the manual or found any solution online.
WAN/internet access is working no problems, I’d like to have it setup with one DHCP table for all LAN ports, and for all ports to be able to see each other.
It would be nice to be able to change the routers IP address and select the IP range for the DHCP table too.
If you have a guide or can point me to a knowledge base article (I’ve been looking!) I’d be extremely grateful and happy to donate to NASCompares for the assistance.
Thanks in advance.
Aaron.

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

i also am running nvidia shield pro as the client streaming device for plex i am a plex pass subscriber

the problem i am having is in remote access older 1080p 720 p files play remote ly fine but anything new either wont play or just errors
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.
