Hi there!
Hope you doing well. Once ages ago you helped me to decide which Nas to get and I got DS218+. But now I'm looking to upgrade from DS218+ to a newer two hundred series.
So I'm looking between DS220+ and DS223. DS223 I believe is the newest version. Which one this will be more future proof and perform better ? Thank you ! Donation from me as a thank you for sure

Need 2.5 gb/s NAS for home/business. Need at least 5 slot for 5 HDDs

Hi. I currently have a QNAP TVS-872XT. In the next few days, I will be reseting the system to change the RAID array configuration and add larger drives.

The TVS is an i5 with 64GB of RAM, 2 - 1TB SSDs for caching.

The system is part of my home lab, is used for backups, extra storage, some containers.

While I understand the minor differences between QTS and QuTS Hero, I have not been able to determine if it is beneficial to change over.

One of the things I have not been able to determine which would help is QNAPs support plans for both O/S. Is QTS being phased out, and all new hardware will only support QuTS?

Thank you.

Hi. Love the site and the info.
But really confused with too much info

Ok I have a NAS - 2nd hard bargain - I am new to the NAS wordl
Qnap TP-469 Pro

It came with some drives, but they are WD and one has failed already.

So things I would like to do.

Use for NAS - Working with windows - get my user profile , either running off the NAS or for it to transfer it back and forth at login.

Use the NAS as a small webserver / email store and possible setup a mail server

For backups of my win computer.

I am still unsure the best way to setup up the NAS , in jbod / raid 5 or 6 .. or see the benefits.

Raid isnt a backup solution, but dont want to loose data.


Upgrade the memory to 3GB
Get 4 new hardrives and setup 4tb / 6tb - at good prices.
Possible SSD cache drive etc

But I am completely lost . Could you just give me your opinion and places to purchase these upgrades.

Thank you
Nick

Hello,

I am looking to upgrade my old Qnap TS453 Pro
I need a google drive type replacement application and Qsync Pro does not work the way i need it to, would Synology Drive be a better, more google drive type solution?
I would like the most powerful synology i can get for the money, debating between the DS1621xs+ and the DS1522+, not sure if the 1522+ will be powerful enough as i want to be able to swap files with my work computer in a google drive type environment all day long, would also like to run Plex Media Server at home

Installed E10G22-T1-Mini into a DS1522+ with 2 8TB Iron Wolf drives, but I am only getting 5000 Mbps (LibreSpeed averages 4800 Mbps). I have connected a USG-Flex-XG (connected to 1522+, desktop, and UDM-Pro (SFP+ to Copper set to 10 Gbps)). My desktop is running at 10 Gbps but the NAS will only run at 5 Gpbs - if I select 10 Gbps the NAS will disconnect from the LAN. SFP+ transceiver is a 10 GBase-T SFP+ to RJ-45 10 Gbe.

Any help/suggestion to get to the 10 Gbps will be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I have install & running jellyfin v10.8.7 in qnap container station (Docker); I'm having issues figuring out how to updating the image to the latest. Short creating a new image & possible losing my current config, can you assist I would very much appreciate the help.

Thank you in advance
very informative channel.

I am looking for a NAS solution. We have one video editor who will be working at the same location as the NAS and two content creators/editors who will need access from all over the world. For the remote team, internet upload speed at the NAS location will be the bottleneck. All team members are using Macbooks. Videos are very large and are shot in raw format. We have been looking at the Qnap 874 with the i9, but are wondering if it's more than we need. We are all new to the process of editing with a team and are just now learning to edit on a more professional level, so any advice regarding workflow would also be welcome. Thanks for your time.

Have an old 2TB WD Mycloud (no longer supported, older OS) and need to set up a proper NAS for the home. Heavy multimedia users (lots of photos, music and video usage - including 4k H.265) and looking for a solution to store on NAS (limited space on smaller laptop SSDs) as well as backup solutions. Prefer network storage to local device storage, but also interested in backup of data - especially for photos and videos. Will have up to 4 users as kids grow in use of mobile devices and/or future laptops for school use. Ability to back up/store/archive photos from mobile devices (all iOS users), videos and be able to play back videos from NAS to devices(smart TVs, laptops, mobile devices/tablets) in home would be ideal. Sharing with family members outside of home a bonus. Could use old WD MYcloud for backup purposes and/or cloud storage (Google drive) for photos as a backup option.

Hi, love the videos you created, really helped me choosing as NAS system and getting set up for the very 1st time. I have a quick question, I have a synology DS1520 NAS, 4 bays with 16tb HDD and the 5th with a 20tb HDD with Synology RAID SHR 2 Drive tolerance, Im slowly going to upgrade the 16TB HDD's to 20TB HDD's and was wondering if i can repurpose the 16TB in an expansion unit with no RAID as an additional backup with the function of backing up the main volume?
