Hello again, for ease of use, security, external access to shared folders (folders and subfolders) but exclusively Word, Excel files. Rather webDAV or SMB ? We don't have firewall. Best regards. Patrick Otten.

I need to upgrade my drive capacity in my Synology 920+. I want to replace my 8tb drives with 20tb drives or similar. Currently the new Toshiba MG10ACA20TE is reasonably priced locally. I cannot find much info on this drive, other than I know it is MAMR and 512E, I believe. Do you have any thoughts on this drive for use in a 920+? Also, I realise that Synology have yet to add this drive--as with many others--to their compatibility list, but could you tell me if it would function in the 920+ - if not I need to look for other alternatives.

Hello! I'm a motion gfx / vfx artist in need of expanding my storage.

Currently working on a 2020 imac with 4TB of storage but struggling to constantly stay on top of clearing data in between multiple jobs. Ideally looking for a DAS or NAS that has fast read / write speeds as I work with a lot of 4K and higher footage in DPX or EXR sequences. I primarily work on this 1 machine (currently in my bedroom) and i have an older imac downstairs and use dropbox to pass files between them. So a NAS would be good but not essential. Though i am looking at building a garden office so longterm a NAS might be good for working in and out of the house though the immediate need is to just expand storage but maintain high read / write speeds.

Appreciate any guidance on this.

Hello again

The question I have and hopefully you can help with is: With a QNAP 8 bay NAS I was thinking of utilizing QTier and replacing one or more of the HDD(s) with SSD(s). I understand the more commonly used data will be stored on the SSD(s) but if I where to only use one SSD then would I lose redundancy on that specific data? Would I have to replace two HDD's with SDD's so that portion would be in at least a Raid 0 within the QTier?

Thanks for your help and I really enjoy watching your videos especially ones that take deeper dives into hardware and software then just basic setup alone..

I am working for a big travel youtube channel that want a nas to be able to upload footage for editors while traveling. We went with a Synology DS1621xs+ becasue it was sponsered by synology after about a year of use it was not working with the editors and youtubers due to the lack of video preview without video station which was to much to organize. They wanted to use the synology for back up and switch to a WD PR4100. I am now tasked with migrating around 35+ TB of data over is there a faster way to do it than over the network I notice that both of them have USB options but not sure if they will reconize eachother. Looking right now at an 85 day transfer

Hi,
I've been using Plex for a long time, and have never Transcoded (mainly because my DS414 can't handle it). The only streaming which happens is one person having remote access to my Plex from their tv. Other downside of the DS414 is that I can't run Docker on it. I use mainly SABNZBD, CouchPotato, Sonarr, Transmission as packages.

I've been looking at either DS423+ or DS923+ (can't seem to find the DS920+ in Belgium), I understand the downsides of both systems. I will use my existing disks for the time being (12TB in total) before upgrading to larger size disks.
As I can do without transcoding, as it seems at least, would the DS923+ be the only wise choice?

I recently contacted you to ask if you knew anything about the Nokia FastMile 5G (SIM) router as it is relatively cheap when compared to other 5G routers on presently on the market.

This just a quick note to advise that I have since discovered that the Nokia router uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon X50 which was very quickly superceded by the X55. Could be that is the reason for its low price (?).

No reply necessary. Thanks.

Will be getting a synology 4 bay nas.

my nas will run the times my PC will run, so about 12 hours or less. i will shut down the NAS when not needed. its not going to be a media server.

its only use will be backup of files. and photo backups straight from phones.

I feel like 2 TB HDD's are enough for me, so 2x4 with Raid 5 will give me 6TB of space, more than enough more me.

I saw on seagate's website than 2TB Barracuda Pro's are CMR.

If i use those, will they be fine for the long term? or should i just spend more and get the 2 TB Ironwolf?

What about WD Red? are those drives reliable now after the issue with WD pulling some scam a few years ago?

I am in need for a storage for the home as we have 4 computers and the use are as following i came up to believe that QNAP ts 464 is good solution. kids usage for steam game and after effects editing - photos archive - extend Hikvision 4 TB NVR for 4 cameras cctv
