My TS-451 dies unexpectedly. Can't access BIOS so I think LPC problem. I could do the resistor fix but even if that worked no telling how long it would keep working so looking at replacing it. Use case is to store movies, home video, ebooks, audio books, lectures, etc. Only for my family access so 0-4 users (mostly just me) for plex. Also stores personal files for family members too large for OneDrive. I used your NAS Builder tool and one of the options it shows is the TS-453E. Looks good to me. Can I just insert my existing drives into it? I know from the QNAP website that I could migrate but from what if my old TS-451 is dead?

Hi,

Thanks for all the information. I now know I can migrate my drives from my DS713+ to the DS925+. I have a DS713+ combined with a DX213 and want to upgrade to the DS925+.

As I read here, I can transfer the drives from my DS713+ to the DS925+. I've fully updated my DS713+ and it's now running DSM 7.1.1.-42962 update 9.

Unfortunately, I'm being told I can no longer use my DX213, so I want to use my two drives from my DX in the DS925+ as well. Is that possible? Does it simply mean that if I put them in the DS925+, they'll run as a second pool?

Do you have any tips on this?

Or is it somehow possible to connect my DX213 to the DS9245+, just like there is a solution for the unsupported drives?

I look forward to your response. Thanks in advance!

Regards, Bob

Hi dear,

I kindly want to ask for an advice, having had a terrible experience with the QNAP TR-004, and good experience with TS-431P2, with same 4 x 3 TB Toshiba N300, I just needed more space, and thought about an expansion, bad idea, I would like to buy a new NAS, estetically similar to TS-431P2, and I was looking for a TS-433 (https://www.amazon.it/dp/B0BCQT9YKY/?coliid=I2YY5HT2URE13C&colid=C0GTF066ZNN0&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it&th=1) and a TS-453E (https://www.amazon.it/dp/B0B9YPJN7L/?coliid=I2YLT1N9DV0AZ4&colid=C0GTF066ZNN0&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it). The second seems more professional, dble capacity, but it costs too much, is there anything in the middle, QNAP only?

Thank you

I currently have a nuc8i5beh running Ubuntu server for jellyfin with external drive media storage. I am looking to replace the external storage with a NAS with primary concerns being prevention of data loss and media streaming. If possible I would also like to host VPN, be able to use it as personal cloud and if there is remaining capacity possibly dome other non essential services. I was interested in zfs for data loss prevention. Would this unit work or is there a better option? Should I stick with tos or go truenas zfs? Would it be better to run jellyfin from the terramaster or the nuc? I appreciate ease of use and don't want to constantly have to be tweeting things but I am willing to put in the configuration/learning curve work up front.

Can Unifi OS Server run on either the Aoostar WTR Max or Minisforum N5 Pro. Do you know if their NAS solution only works on propietary equipment or can it be deployed on 3rd party equipment such as these two NAS boxes with capable harware and features?

My Synology DS920+ wont turn on, not entirely sure why, the external power brick has the green LED light up, however when I press the power button nothing happens. No whirling, no attempts to turn on, nothing.

There was a storm a few days back, but the unit was connected to an UPS that also has a surge protector in it, so I would have hoped there would not have been an issue with this. What would you recommend I try to fix this? Would it just be ordering a replacement Synology power supply from the manufacturer themselves or are there any other options?

Hi I have the above NAS but not sure if i am set up correctly Back up not working, Photos is not set up correctly, generally i think ive got confused along the way. can you provide a service to connect remotely and sort my needs out? Happy to pay for a couple of hours?

Hi,
My disk station and hard disks are aging and I am looking for a replacement. Main use is file storage and sharing for family, mainly fotos and video. I am looking for a 2-bay NAS/disk combination with high reliability, easy setup and use, low noise and low energy consumption, preferably from EU or Taiwan.
Many thanks for your recommendations.

Hello, I am looking for my first NAS. Started because I created a Jellyfin server for my kids Movies/shows. I am also interested in storing photos to avoid paying for google photo storage.

I think i want 4 bays for future growth and "playing". I am interested in the Terramaster F4-424 Pro(my understanding is the not pro is going away?), Asuster AS5404T, and last and probalbly least Ugreen DXP4800.

I want some something fairly easy to use as i will (at least for now) use the OS that comes with it as i am not familiar with running docker or anything like that. I am new to all of this!
I would like to be able to run the Jellyfin server right from the NAS.

Current price points i see here in US are:
Terramaster $560
Asuster $530
Ugreen $470

Hello, I have watched so many videos and I am now crippled with indecision between my 2/3 options
UGREEN DXP480T
Terramaster F4
Terramaster F8
I don’t need huge amount of storage. I want to future proof myself when it comes to speed of storage drives and network options.
I like that UGREEN has built in WiFi and is a smart looking device.
But the Terramaster package seems better as they have apps like BitTorrent built in.
