  NAS set-up and configuration
Posted by: Enquiries - 06-01-2023, 02:30 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Hello , really enjoy your youtube content. I am really struggling to get to grips with NAS and how it works ... I have done my best but its all over the place and wanted an expert to provide assistance. Am slightly cautious who to approach as I don't want my NAS compromiosed by someone putting or doing settings that would compromise it as I have all my photos on it ....
How much would it be to sort streamline it. Have up to date settings, file management. Ensure the non-admin account has access where it should , but not things it shouldn't , etc?

  Kingston SSD Compatibility
Posted by: Enquiries - 06-01-2023, 11:00 AM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

I would like to find out if Kingston KC3000 PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD 4TB would be compatible with QNAP TVS-h874X-i9-64G.
I do not find this SSD listed in the compatibility list at QNAP site.

But considering this SSD is PCIe Gen4, it should ideally be supported. Appreciate your help in confirming before I go ahead with purchasing this SSD for caching

Thank you

  1st NAS Purchase
Posted by: Enquiries - 05-31-2023, 09:30 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

I am looking to buy 1st 4bay NAS. It will be used primarily for media either an Emby or Plex server. I would like it to be expandable if possible. I do not plan on playing movies directly from Nas either thru the Nvidia shield or a vidoo device. I dont mind spending a little money. But not looking to spend more than is needed for my intended use. I am open to Asustor, terramaster, synology, or qnap. Thanks in advance

  Can single NAS support NAS and NVR functionality
Posted by: Enquiries - 05-31-2023, 07:00 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Hello!
I am building a new home and I am planning out my new HomeLab /network and security cameras. I already have installed 8 POE drops for security cameras and APs, and another 8 Ge network drops around the house. I have not locked down any equipment vendors yet.
For the HomeLab, I am looking to play with Home Assistant and NextCloud services, and anything else that catches my fancy. I also want to play with Proxmox. So, I am thinking of starting with a NAS to support my initial dive into HA and NextCloud and general file serving. Then get a dedicated server (a miniPC ?) when I want to jump into Proxmox.
My questions are: Can a single NAS support both my initial NAS services and NVR functionality? If I get a 4 bay NAS and I want to use 3 bays for a RAID, can I configure the 4th for NVR storage? Does that make sense? Might I run into running out of local network bandwidth when I get a dedicated server which might do some media streaming?

  Back up task for folder on iPhone
Posted by: Enquiries - 05-31-2023, 10:30 AM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Hey guys,

I just got my first NAS (DS220+) and I'm still getting a bit familiar with it.
There's loads of info on how to back up files from a PC or MAC to the NAS, but I'm struggling to find good info on how to back up files from my iPhone.

Specifically I want to back up a single folder on my iPhone into my NAS. I'd like to have this backed up automatically whenever there is a change in this iPhone folder.

On my MAC I have done this through Drive Client by setting up a back-up task. However I can't find this option on my iPhone app.

Do you guys have any idea how to set up an automatic back up for this folder?

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,

Bob.

  Questions about PR4100 and SSDs
Posted by: Enquiries - 05-31-2023, 06:30 AM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Hi,

I would like to know if the WD PR4100 is compatible with SSDs other than WD’s one ? I want to buy Samsung 870 QVO MZ-77Q8T0BW but I can’t find a compatibility list for the PR4100.

Are SSDs reliable for a Plex NAS, and Plex only ? We’ll only watch movies, tv shows once every two days so there won’t be a lot of write and rewrite. I keep reading people saying SSDs are not ready for a heavy use but what if it is for a Plex server ?

Thank you for your answers and for your great work. I don’t always get it when it gets really technical but still there are great information for people like me. So thank you again !

  Reliability of WD RED drives & Synology
Posted by: Enquiries - 05-31-2023, 01:00 AM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Hi Guys, I've been a follower of your Youtube channel since early 2018 and your advice lead me towards the Synology 918+. Thank you.

I'd lbe interested in what you make on a Youtube clip I just found from SpaceRex.

I bought my DS 918+ back in May 2018 along with 4x 6TB WD Red (wdc-wd60efrx). I just checked my disk health after watching your video and found they're all green (healthy) with no issues shown. I run short DST health checks every month and Extended tests every 4 months. Am I the odd one out here? (Currently using DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 5)"

Thank you soooo much for all your advise and insight over the years.

Regards
Raj Dhand
