Hello,

I've just discovered that Seagate is offering a special PS5 version of the Firecuda 530. Here is a link to the product.

https://www.seagate.com/products/gaming-drives/playstation-gaming/game-drive-m2-ssd-for-ps5/

Basically it seems that this PS5 version and the Firecuda 530 are technically identical, besides the heatsink design. But this version has an optimized firmware for the PS5.

Do you have any information if this results in higher speeds or have you maybe already compared how both versions perform in a PS5?

Many thanks,
Hardy

I’m home owner who currently uses eufy security cameras. But recently I’ve seen videos stating how unsecured they are. I’m now trying to figure out the best setup for nas security. I’m interested in Synology or similar. Would like the models and cameras to go with it to include Door locks and doorbell

Hi

This is my first Nas and looking at synology. I will be using it mainly for personal storage for family photos and documents. I am torn between the 920+ and the 420j. I want a 4 bay to give myself more options in years to come as I will have 2 bays initially so the extra bays will help in future.

I believe the 420j will fit the bill but as I cant expand the memory should I pay the extra for the 920+ to future proof myself. What are the expected lifespans of each unit?

Thanks

Good Afternoon, Merry Christmas.

I recently asked about Synology 720+ and the new 723.
From watching your excellent in depth reviews I am of the opinion that Synology products are by far more 'secure sophisticated and indeed somewhat more professional' compared to QNAP especially after their Ransomware issues!

QNAP - offer newer products save for the on the horizon Synology 723. Yet if I bought the 720+ I presume adding the extra 4GB of RAM would be beneficial if not essential!

Looking in detail at Qnap I can see three models that look like they will do the job -

1. QNAP TS-253E-8G 2-Bay NAS Enclosure w/ 2 x M.2 PCIe Slots (8GB RAM). -HEAVY POWER CONSUMPTION

2. QNAP TS-264 Intel quad-core dual-port 2.5GbE NAS supports M.2 SSD caching and PCIe expandability for high-speed transmission and virtualization applications. HEAVY POWER CONSUMPTION

3. TS-253D Quad-core 2.5GbE NAS for professionals

Still confused, Synology or Qnap?

Thank You in advance, SIncerely, NIGEL HOWARD

is it possible to set the transcode to ram on qnap like they show in unraid videos. i cant find any videos on showing how to do it with qnap

Hello,

Looking for the fastest NAS to look through very large photography libraries in Lightroom with very large files. I currently have a DS1815+ and looking to upgrade. Have a 2.5GB switch as well.

Thank you!

I've interpreted from the Plex H.265 discussion that running 10 security cameras with H.265 compression, that the CPU use with the 923+ would be high and choke my NAS from other operations like watching a large 1080P file, especially if using H.265. Correct? If so, this is a deal breaker for me and I'd think many others.

I'm considering the 920+ to simply upgrade my video library to 4k to watch via Plex and then use the NAS for general file storage. Can I get away with one slot 8GB? Or do you think I need to go through the unofficial upgrade?

Hello, I would like to set up a NAS system from my home so 2 other people can log in too. We use Davinci Resolve and can share time-lines through their cloud service. I have 35.8 Mbps internet speed through my TalkTalk internet provider. I have around £2000 to spend and would like a 4 bay system with 48Tb or more. Do I need a 10gbe system. What would you recomend. Thank you

Kind regards

Billy

HELP! I just purchased the NAS & I need information for how best to set it up for TimeMachine, additional network storage, etc... with an M1 iMac with Ventura OS

1) Is there a resource for Apple Users to know the best way to set this NAS up i.e. to get answers to choice of formatting (RAID, APFS, ext4, btrfs)?

I stumbled thru the TerraMaster setup & feel I need to reinitialize the NAS & start over... The Apple Finder application doesn't appear to work with the NAS as it does with other external hard drives, USB, etc

2) How can I do a fresh start of the NAS install & set up to optimize its functionality with an Apple iMac using the Ventura OS?

Thanks in advance for your help!
