Hello Nascompares,
The background for this is I have DS920+ NAS and am waiting for a Expansion box
to be delivered with some more hard drives for me to upgrade the nas ad to use the expansion box. So my UPS will be powering the NAS and Expansion box. Here in Australia
I have solar panels and just had a solar battery installed recently.
I have the ups currently setup to shut down on power outage after 5 or 10mins. But now with the solar battery supporting the house in event of power outage. But their being a 30sec to 2mins lets say time when the nas will be using the ups.

What is the best way to set this up to work well with the ups and solar battery?
Would I be best to manually shut down the device once I am on the solar battery?
If I was not home and this happened how should I have it setup?
Thanks for any advice.
Chris

I just shucked a 12tb wd element drive and got a WD120EDGZ I want to confirm if this is a red drive or not. some google and ai chats have me worried its not. I can find a use for it if its not a nas drive. Just first time I have got a non nas drive in a wd element .
Thanks for your advice

I bought the Jonsbo N6 case from Ali Express got delivered yesterday, am planning for Home Storage for media server using Plex . I don't know were to strat

I had a Plex server Life time , looking to operate the NAS with unraid also will buy the life time plan

Desperate for advice on this back-up problem. Took your advice and wow did I watch plenty of nas videos...settled for the Ugreen 4 bay plus. Actually, it's pretty friendly to a none nas user.

Problem, how do I back it up. I think in time I should buy the smaller 2 bay Ugreen Nas as a bck up solution but for now, I need a cheap 'get out of jail free' backup to tied me over.

I have a spare pc, but cant seem to work out how to connect it to the Nas, if it's even possible..

Am I looking at a cheap usb drive for now and how big ? My 4, 4 tb drives equate to about 10tb of Nas storage so what size usb backup would I need.

Sorry if my question is daft, buty as a complete nas newbie I am finding it a tad confusing.

Thanks, keep those vids coming, love the straight forward British chat, makes me smile.

Hello Sir,

I have a 1821+ and want a simple local back up for it. I was thinking about an external 8 bay enclosure. Simple and not expensive. Now a friend has an old 1817. Is this a better option in my case or does not add more? Also I read to 1817 does not have btrfs. I read on the synology website that this is important for a back up. Does it matter for me?

So is it better to use the old 1817 with no btrfs as a local back up plan or is a cheap external enclosure enough and more simple?

Thank you for your advice!

Hi guys, thank you for the time.
I basically just want to replace my family and my google cloud/ icloud payment service and have us all on a nas.
Most of us only use cloud storage for photos and videos. It would be nice if the file upload is very synced and easy to use across platforms like Google Drive.
I saw the ugreen which everyone pretty much suggests but maybe i dont even need all of its features. So what do you think? I said under 200 just because I thought of 5 people or so but if it's possible to have lets say around 10 people ofc budget changes.
Thank you so much,
Manu

I have two NAS a DS425+ and a DS918+ I want to put one in each of our houses and share photos. So each house will have their own users with separate personal photo spaces to back up their phones (two people per household) and (this is the tricky bit) have common shared folders that can be viewed by all users.

In my mind I have a set of shared folders that are copied from one NAS to the other by Xcopy or Rsync or something - but would it be easier to have one of the NAS as the dedicated sharing server (call that house A)? If that's the case how the people in house B access it and how do they choose photos in their personal space on server B to move to the shared space.

Part of my is thinking that having ONE NAS in the location with the fiber connected internet (house A) as the photo server for everyone but at the same time I want each house to have their own photos server.

I have plans to have a third server as a backup device to backup photos from both NAS, a question for later.

I am looking for an outdoor Camera that is WiFi wireless and battery powered that works with
My ASUSTOR Surveillance program
