  TerraMaster f2-210 NAS
Posted by: Enquiries - 09-02-2022, 01:30 AM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Can you make a tutorial video and or forward how to make email server (configure) with email server and MySQL. I have looked everywhere and none of them are conclusive, they all say bits and pieces.

I want to host my own email, should I buy a different NAS ? is it even possible with a TerraMaster f2-210?

Best regards
Jim

  Improved PLEX performance (Synology DS918+)
Posted by: Enquiries - 09-02-2022, 12:00 AM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (3)

Hello Rob/Team...Long time watcher of your video's and invaluable tutorials so first of all, thanks.

I've been using a DS918+ with 8GB RAM and 4x10TB (one for redundancy) for a number of years. Until recently, PLEX was running on a Mac Mini and worked flawlessly for ten years but its just died so moved the whole operation to the DS918+ and now running Plex and the ARR's under Docker.

All set up and running with the aid of TRaSH guides online and for the most part am happy.

BUT, need advice on optimising the system when it comes to remote playback.

Wondering if SSD caching may be the way to go or if I should consider some kind of conversion regime for the library ...not a challenge i relish having been someone who for YEARS converted every single file I acquired using handbrake.

On the LAN, high quality files seem to function without issue, as they should...but the CPU load appears to be unbearably huge (100%) when transcoding just 2x1080P files remotely. I've followed some online vids and guides on optimising settings but any further targeted guidance would be much appreciated ...

Regards

  Snyology 1522+
Posted by: Enquiries - 09-01-2022, 02:30 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

First I want to thank you for many hours of information. Your videos have been very helpful with making my decision to purchase a snyology NAS.

I would like use Homebridge on the 1522+. I plan on using the 1522+ mainly for storage and streaming movies on the local LAN. Do you think having Homebridge running all the time will cause performance issues with the 1522+?

Would you recommend running Homebridge on a Raspberry Pie instead?

Thanks again!!
Mike

  Choosing First Nas Setup
Posted by: Enquiries - 09-01-2022, 12:30 AM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Greetings, i recently subscribe to your youtube channel and have become an attempt to understand the world of Storage. I recently lost 2 hard drives and almost lost a 3 (wife) which contains an ungodly amount of podcast episodes, videos, and more.

I've come to explore a more secure way to store long-term information that pertains to m e and my wife's files.

Ive been curious about the brand Synology due to some of its features. we recently have a baby and we are constantly taking photos and videos of our little one and i would like a method of storing those in a central place via our phone. But i also need a system that can store a large amount of graphics, videos, and production videos from our work.

I would also if possible like to explore a system that i can access while outside of my home if possible to either upload or download files.

there are alot of terminology which i just can't seem to wrap my head around. if you can assist me and point me in the right direction i would greatly appreciate it. Until your reply, I will continue to explore your videos and read online to see which would be the most sound solution for my need.

Aloha from Hawaii.

Your YouTube channel provides great information for us new NAS users. I actually already have a QNAP TVS-x72XT with 2 18TB Iron Wolf drives.

Don't know what the hell I'm doing though!

Why aren't there larger drives?!

Currently, I have 60 TB archived and we are adding new data at a 1TB/month rate.

Ideally, I'd like to create a central place for all video/photo that can be accessed by editors across the world.

This way I can hire editors to remotely work on projects.

Often times, a single project will produce 400GB of raw video files and I don't know the best way to upload and for the remote editors, how they will download the footage to work on.

I've been told we can work with proxy media, which would greatly reduce the file transfer size and up/download times.
