Hi, i like your educational videos. But i found my self in ifinite loop of Synology vs QNAP saga.
At first i searched synology as i have vintage 2x 2TB ds209+ii for backup of wdmycloud 3TB, both still going but 2/3 full and getting dull on features and remote acces.I cant properly say which new one is right for me, as for this price of 360-400€ i expect more than i see.
Great on synology is ActiveBackup, i feel like more secure RemoteAccess and links, Logical Naming of Apps, it is familiar to set it secure. Also BTRFS, Drive Sync to PC. If fesable i would connect cameras i have 6 on daha NVR, that buzzes on every cat goes by, if i could set up AI and notifications to only notify on strangers. I miss 2.5G eth, also lack of m.2 for coral module and seemingly messed up object recognition in Photos.
Maybe some more can be done with ds720+.
Qnap has awesome hardware ticks all boxes but feels less secure and with loads of fixes to make it go online safely. Also lacks active backup.

Home storage of music files, pictures, videos, potentially security camera video (2 weeks at a time). Would SSD be overkill??

Hi Guys,

Thinking of buying 2 x 20TB drives

Do you have an affiliate link for eBay?
https://www.ebay.de/itm/374552340258?hash=item57350f2722:g:dvMAAOSw9ItiKReP&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4JC%2BYcoqMB656oR%2FXZ2yI95OGG18Cssx2%2BkUW44irjDH1tavAIquSCo5FOFLK1TsNnDv0VeKGWVU9%2F1%2FKHnTMBFz87FqoOn84hc9qKoy6E0YH%2FjRs9hwI4z%2FZ6ZA8XD0UMIiWNKd8OWDHYeE0XdOOs9Ps3mafgV4DMG7KAW0qIzXQTRbOulBnumETZ8aSIVsDb56kt%2BkIeAoR4A33KRNr%2FUwy5s%2F7R0qpF2XVqRbKZbomM2KSygL%2BZyPqGfp0Uw8LxdH50cAiuX2h3ic6X8Xm8wVVVwAPyTsoeroh01yT7nx%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR5DNovPYYQ#RETURNS_SECTION_MODULE

Also the seller suggests that there are no returns. Is this a bad option?

I am thinking between Toshiba N300 vs Seagate IronWolf Pro vs WD Red Pro vs WD Ultrastar 18TB. Which brand will you buy if you were in my shoes or it is hard to tell which one is better?

In addition, do you know great dealers with cheaper prices for Nas HDDs 18TB or 20TB in London, Uk or Germany?

Thanks,
Plamen

Good Afternoon . I have just purchased a qnap TS 464 nas, thank you for the advice I'm now looking to get a UPS sorted and am a little confused. I will only be attaching the nas, router tp link 80 archer and the fiber ont.

I hope to run an email client and my own web page so I don't aim to be a very heavy user

can you suggest something for this

Kind regards

I am looking for a solution for me (photographer) and my partner (therapist) for a joint data centrel.
Currently about 6 TB Raw and processed images (growing fast) and ideally a place for patient data (security).

As mac user I would like to go Thunderbolt > looking at the TVS x72xt series and the TS X64 series (T4!)

Which is best (I would load it with seagate ironwolf 8TB HDD).
Thank you very much
Andreas

my client needs a file sharing solution, synology is my choice of Hardware.
they have 3 offices in 3 different states,
i want to be able to

1, Backup every users PC to the NAS
2, have shared folders for different departments, the folder have to be synced realtime as they shhare files from the main office to the factory (these folders have to be mapped to windows explorer)
3, have a cloud backup for all their data
4, have access to their data over the internet
5, have remote management for the whole system.

so my question is,
will i have only one NAS in one site and connect the other sites to the NAS over the internet or i will have a NAS in each of the three sites and they will all sync over the internet?

hope you can help me out with a solution.

Interested in simple but reliable NAS solution around 2Tb/4Tb max.

Curious. I have a DS1621XS+ and I have a leftover 8GB ram module (from 32gb upgrade) that i'd like to use in a new 1522 (now that it supports M.2 Pool in DSM 7.2!!!!) Synology lists different ram compatibility on the site, but as far as I can tell, the specs are the same. Do you know if these two are compatible?

Synology D4ES02-8G vs D4ES01-8G That is, will the 1522 accept the 8gb stick from the 1621xs+?

What is the most efficient was to setup the NVMe drives, in a read only or read and write. I have seen there's differing thoughts on this subject.

I am considering purchasing your recent model QNAP TS-262-4G 2-Bay Tower NAS

I have a spare m.2 ssd lying around
Can I simply just use this drive on its own to begin with in qtier mode setting and purchase another m.2 down the track.

I primarily want to use only 1 TB nvme drives as they are much faster .

I don't have any spare 2.5 inch drives lying around and this would increase the initial investment.

Thanks in advance for you assistance?
