Thank you for your post ?
It has been invaluable in letting me choose which memory card to buy!
I went for the mid-priced Timetek 16GB card.

After a few hiccups, I discovered another post that recommended removing ant nvme cache (in the correct way via System Manager).
Having done that, I added the RAM card (without any disks or ssd) ... and it wax recognised !!
The added the 4x 12TB disks back in.
Finally, I re-inserted the 2 WD Black 1TB nvme cards.

Everything all working OK ???
Keep up the good work ,
Geoff

I am currently tossing up between the TS-464 and DS423+. It will generally be used for Plex usage, constant surveillance recording for Reolink cameras, as well as general photo and other backup solutions. I wouldn't say I'm a power user so I do have hesitations about QNAP usability but worry that this Synology is likely the end of the line for hardware transcoding. Was wondering if you could also provide general advice on the best hard drives to pair with any solution.

This is for my dental office and I will be backing up patients charts and X-rays. I will probably need to back up 4-6TB max. I also like to steam 100 Disney movies to 10 TVs. I am looking for a solution. I was hoping to get synology DS1525+ but with 10 TVs, I hear QNAP is best choice but not as polished.
I was thinking 3 drives to back up dental , and 2 drives for movies.
I want a new model

Hi Guys,

Thought I would reach out and see if anyone can help me with this pain. 

Recently have bought a Ugreen 4800+ and obviously need to fill it with drives. Issue is, the large HDDs are eye wateringly expensive whilst the mid sized ones seem too poor for £ per GB. 

Are there any places where you would recommend finding cheap(er) drives or even refurbed? 

Thanks

Hi,
I’m planning on building my own DIY NAS
Using: - Jonsbo N5 case
- ASrock TAICHI Lite x870e mono
- AMD Ryzen 9600x
- Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120SE cooler
- I’m looking for a Corsair PSU with more 4 Molex connectors.
- A Samsung Gen4 or Gen5 M.2 SSE as a boot drive.
- 32GB or 64GB Kingston Server Premier ECC ram
- M.2 to SATA adaptor or SAS PCIe card
My questions is as following:
- What kind of cables do I need?
- how do I know how Powerful PSU I need?
- How long Molex cables?
- I’ve see several videos warning against using Molex (fire hazard, frying the HDD connected to it) thoughts?
- On the Jonsbo there is both Molex and SATA power connectors on the hard drive backplates. Do I need to use both? If not, which to use?
- Do I need extra “grids” the other places I install fans? Like the 3 that is supplied with the Jonsbo?
- If SAS PCIE card (extra SATA connections). Should I get a RAID or HBA card?
- Anything else I have forgot to include? Extra fans (front or side panels)?

Hi,
Is the review of the Aoostar going to be ready soon?
I’m trying to deside if I should go for the Aoostar max, if it a good buy? Or go for DIY. The prices on pc parts has gone up quite a bit in Norway this last month, so the Aoostar might be cheaper and just as good.. so I eagering to find out what you think of it

Kind regards
Kenneth

Hi I was hoping you would do a review of https://www.olares.com/ because I saw it and the only reviews are not in English. It seams like a fun system.

Hi Robbie, I want to start off by thanking you for your excellent videos. There is not enough room for me to share my thoughts. I am most definitely willing to pay you for your professional guidance.

Please follow the link below.

I currently have a TS-251D and i'm in need of a 4bay as i have maxed out my drives.

I know you don't have a crystal ball but in your honest opinion when do you think a Successor to the TS-464 will be released. Do you think next year or two years time as i saw the video at Computex and it was suggested QNAP are working on something. I would hate to buy now if it will release early next year.

Many thanks and best regards.

Hi,

Could you please recommend a USB-C to Ethernet adapter that can do up to 5Gbps speed, supports jumbo frames up to 9K and if possible, supports MAC address passtrough. The last one is not essential but can be a bonus.
Max budget £70.
If not available, will there be a new model from established suppliers?

Kind regards

Leslie
