I am ordering a QNAP TV-673A online via Amazon or B&H, but return policies are generally pretty strict for computers.

What is a good checklist of tests to make sure all my software/hardware is working as expected to ensure nothing is "damaged" under the hood?

I want to make sure I do a thorough inspection of the NAS within 15-30 days should I need return it.

Any guidance is appreciated!

Hi I have Qnap NAS ts453d with QM2-2P2G2T and it's connected to router QHora-301W so I have to 10 GBE and I have a bunch of 2.5 GBE
My question is could I buy qnap QSW-2104-2T connect four 2.5 GBEe to this switch and one 10 GBE to the router and have the benefit of full-speed 10 GBE

Thank's in Advance Martin

I have watched many of the YouTube videos for a very long time. Now my 415+ has a board problem and need to replace it. From 211j was easy selection, this time options are not so easy.

Only a home user and never really utilised the 415+ to the max, so whatever I select will be the same TBH. None the less as the cost is all in the same range of the options I am looking at 920+, 923+ and 1522+. The cost is not a main issue, but don't want to waste money stupidly, I like quality. Just like most we buy, never get to use all the options, but want them

Synology are pushing to use Enterprise HDD''s and had decided that might be better, or just gullible? You have alluded to Seagate as an option.

If the cost of 920+, 923+ or 1522+, were the same cost hypothetically, would that really affect the choice? That might help.
Lesson learn't years ago, to try and get the better model even if it is more and don't skimp and regret.

Thanks.

Hi.
Great site and youtube channel first, which i found last year and have been trawling through it for news on synology diskstations.

I have a synology DS213J, new in 2013 which we use (2xWD 3TB HDD) for streaming and photos etc, which the family all use over the home lan via tv's and mobiles.

But this is now coming up to 10 years old i'm thinking of replacing it with some faster so i can also use it as a host for web design.

The 213J hardly has any memory and a single CPU so i'm surprised it can run what it is doing and the admin of it is painfully slow so puts me off using this for development.

So i was wondering out of the new diskstation's coming out in 2023 which you suggest i should go for now the 723+ and 223 are out, Maybe the 223 will suffice? I don't really want to spend over £400 on a 2 bay unit for home use. Would welcome your suggestions.

Thanks,
Paul

Hello from across the pond,

Love the channel & extremely helpful vids. I'm a MAC user and was wondering if you'll be doing any reviews, test, etc of the Promise Pegasus RAIDs? Yes, they're pricey and look to be fast but are they worth it? I do photography workflows and also want to stream my movie & audio files around the house (Plex). Thanks for any insight you have.

Regards,
Ken

Dear adressee!

I have been looking for the right NAS solution for me for a very long time. I do videography and photography. Which one(s) would be the right choice for me?

Thank you in advance for your answers!

Hi, Can you please review the crow funding NAS "Storaxa" https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/storaxa/fully-customizable-home-cloud-storage-with-remote-access-nas/ ?

I'm a first-time buyer for a Nas and I don't know anything about them but I found out about this page from your YouTube channel and I'm kind of confused so I was wondering if you could help me out

I'm looking to purchase a nas as cheap as possible I'm looking at Synology since it does a lot of setup for you but this is what I'm trying to do with the Nas

1. Make it act like a cloud storage, like Dropbox

2. Send and receive gigs of files remotely

3. Send and receive files from clientele

4. Use it like a personal social media service like sending messages or making a private chat room if that's possible

5. Remote access so I can send files if I'm away like from a hotel Wi-Fi to the Nas

6. Multi-access because I plan on allowing multiple people to access it remotely (probably 3-5 people for now)

7. What this is NOT going to be utilized for is permanent storage or for editing, I have another storage system for that

So I hope you can help me out

Hy!

I need advise or solution! The plex media player with updated hd sration is no working anymore! if I install the hd station version 4014, the plex media player works, but most of the other recent applications (hd player, photo station, video station) are as if they are not installed. if I want to install it, it only allows me to update the HD station. what is the solution? actually i need the hd player for viewing pictures. I like it! is there an older version that works with the 4014 hd station? or you know a better picture viewer then the photo station?

Hello team,

Do you have video how to add SSD cache on RS818+? I usually see videos for RAM upgrade but never adding SSD cache. Is it recommended on this model?

Thanks
