There seems to be a workaround now so you can use non-Synology brand HDDs. Take a look at this video: https://odysee.com/@Carey:0/Synology-Unlock:f

Which is better of ts 464 and ts 464eu

How do you preserve file creation dates when copying files between a Synology and Mac?

Dear @NASCompares . Since you have done such elaborate reviews of the FS6812x Gen 2, I have gone and bought the 12 bay model. However, to my big dismay, I cannot seem to be able to attach to my TB PC using the USB4 ports. Asustor seems to say on reddit that this kind of connection is not (yet) supported. May I kindly ask how you have managed to get that working please? Also, my 10G network is in great shape (which is to say that I get 10Gb speeds between my other devices) but the top speed I am getting from the 10G connections to this unit is around a weakish 600MB/s. Even when I set up a 4 disk Raid0 just to make sure that there are no bandwidth limitations re the SSDs. Any ideas how this can happen? Your tests seem to indicate that higher speeds are totally possible. PS: I am using Gen 4x4 4TB SSD drives from Samsung and WD. On internet. If you can enlighten me I'd be really grateful. Thanks.

Hi. What’s the recommended specs for a single shared folder with mainly movies. I currently have a truenas box and infuse in an Apple TV to watch but I’m looking to reduce to a smaller nas box. Any suggestions regarding the brand and the specs for each

Hello,
I currently have a Raid5 in my PC, its been running on 5x 6TB WDC WD80EFZX-68UW8N0 drives.

I finally hit the storage wall and without too much research, bought an additional 3x 6x TB drives WDC WD80EFPX-68C4ZN0 drives.

Only to discover, my Motherboard has 8 Sata ports, but only 6 can support the Raid. Furthermore, I attempted to just add 1 of the new drives, only to be told by the Intel RST software that the volume cannot be extended because the number of clusters will exceed the maximum number of clusters support by the file system.

So i now have a delemar as you can imagine. At this stage I am thinking of backing up the data, and then re-building the raid into a NAS, but my concern is the Qnap TS-873A is somewhat 4+ years old now, and at $2.3k australian, seems a bit rough. Really hope you can provide some guidance on what the best ladder is to climb out of this mess. Further more the retail i bought the 3x HDD, has a terrible returns policy so now I'm stuck with them (1k

What's the need for software to run on the NAS unit?
IOW what software is there on the synogology that I would want to run on Ugreen?

Unit is there as a Dropbox replacement
So, live backup and sync. For Android, Windows Desktop and MacBook
And version history for files from Windows and MacOS
I use Goodsync currently on Windows

Hello
I have a Synology DS 224+, with two 8TB HDDs installed. Most of the data I have is not critical, so rather than mirror the whole disc as with Raid 1, which would halve my storage capacity, I would like to just mirror my important files. Is this possible?
Thank you in advance

Good evening,

I love watching your videos, and I bought a ds920+ based off your recommendations and videos on them. It has been fantastic for a few years, now I am looking to upgrade and build a much larger storage device. However I also want to build a gaming pc, so my hope is to build an all in one.

This is a link to a build I made on Newegg I just don't know if there would be any issues with it.

I've seen some of your videos saying how certain CPUs are better for servers. To make this I basically googled best gaming components added those, searched best tower pc cases for nas build, and looked up cards needed for 10gbe and sata cards.

Any input would best fantastic.

Hi, great video and article, here is my issue.
I have a PC and Mac connected at 10Gpbs to a qnap NAS, all jumbo frame enable, and using speed test by openspeedTest, I get the 10Gbps speed no issue.
Now, with the mac, I can get about 800MB/sec write and 1101 read which is not too bad, even if it would be nice to have a bit more write performances
With the PC, I only get about 500MB/sec write and 900 read, clearly there is a bottleneck on the Windows 11 PC somewhere, do you have any idea how to optimze it? I did use the recommended cmds in
power shell
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal

Set-NetAdapterRss -Name "10GbE Adapter Name" -Enabled $true

netsh int tcp set global rss=enabled
netsh int tcp set global ecncapability=disabled
netsh int tcp set global chimney=enabled

The last one does not work by the way, but it really did not change anything...
Thank you
