  Best all in one NAS
Posted by: Enquiries - 07-25-2022, 12:03 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Hi

I have an interesting use case. Perhaps it would be a good show?

I am looking for a synology NAS to do all in one. This includes:

* photo app with the AI categories
*NVR for 5 cameras. I plan to use an rest with the AI build into the cameras so this will ease the pressure on the NAS to do intrusion detection.
* torrent download station running in docker containers (sabnzb, couch potato, bit torrent, etc).
*Plex running in docker and streaming 4K Videos to 4K TVs or IPads.
*backup all files, movies, documents, etc
*run a NAS based document OCR and storage solution.

Is there a synology NAS that can do it all?

Best regards,

Kris

  mr600 v2
Posted by: Enquiries - 07-25-2022, 12:03 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

just wondering if you shed some light on the tp-link mr600 v2. I have purchased the v1 a couple of years ago for my mother and she is happy with it.
I am now looking for myself. I don't have 5g coverage and i will hopefully be moving house to a possibly even more remote location also without 5g. The locals use sky nexus.
Is there any point in getting a v2 over the v1?

  Sim router
Posted by: Enquiries - 07-25-2022, 12:03 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Hi. I want to utilise a mobile router for both at home and on travels in our motorhome.
A Netgear M1 looked a good choice, but having bought it and inserted an O2 sim, the indoor signal was awful.
Ok. Two choices, change sim provider, which should arrive soon, or purchase external aerial. Whilst waiting though, I came across the mr600, hence this mail.
In your video you have experience of both and I wondered which you would recommend, or is there a more recent option.
Or will an aerial sort the M1 out. Thanks.";}

  NAS Options for a PLEX Media Server
Posted by: Enquiries - 07-25-2022, 12:01 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - No Replies

Hello,

I found your page from your YouTube videos and honestly I'm a bit flummoxed. I would like to build a NAS server for home usage (don't foresee myself sharing it with anyone, and hardly playing anything outside of the home). I have a large collection of 4K UltraHD discs and a decent amount of Blu-rays that I'm going to be ripping to MKV files (no compression). I would like to start with a NAS that has around 4-5 bays and hopefully can be expanded more just in case. I just want to be able to play a big 4K file ripped off a disc without any choking from the CPU or PLEX. Just start the movie and go. Maybe turn subtitles on. Also, I'm most likely going to be using a NVIDIA Shield Pro device to play back on my 4K TV. Would you be able to send me some recommendations on affordable NAS cases to start off with, please? Thank you, and keep up the excellent content on YouTube!

Sincerely,
Justin Kramer

  NAS Setup
Posted by: Enquiries - 07-25-2022, 12:01 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - No Replies

Hello,

Firstly, thankyou so much for all of your youtube video content, you are really leading the way in this field.

I am looking to build a NAS system for multile video editors (2-4) to use symultaneously to edit 4k footage in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects.

I have created a spec based on the information your videos suggest.

£2,206.29 QNAP 1288x (need 1 of these)
https://www.broadbandbuyer.com/products/41151-qnap-tvs-h1288x-w1250-16g/

£386.13 18tb Seagate Ironwolf Pro NAS Hard Drive (need 4-8 of these). Used for storage
https://www.broadbandbuyer.com/products/40264-seagate-st18000ne000/

£102.20 QNAP QXP-T32P Thunderbolt Expansion (need 2 of these)
https://www.broadbandbuyer.com/products/42448-qnap-qxp-t32p/

£75.17 Thunderbolt 3 cable 2m (need 4 of these)
https://www.broadbandbuyer.com/products/34349-qnap-cab-tbt320m-40g-lintes/

£831.09 WD 2TB SSD (x4). Used for editing on
https://www.broadbandbuyer.com/products/38935-wd-wds200t1r0a-4ssd/

£99.74 WD 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD (need 2 of these). Used for cache.
https://www.broadbandbuyer.com/products/43690-wd-wds100t1r0c/

My idea is to use the Iron Wolf drives for storage, the SSD for editing current projects on, and the M.2 NVME SSD for cache. All in RAID 6.

By adding 2 of the TB3 expansion cards this gives me 4 TB3 ports on the back of the unit. I then plan to have 4 IMac computers plugged directly into those TB3 ports.

2 questions:

Would this give me the best read and write speeds (and ultimately smoothness in editing for all users)?

Would i get better performance by buying a 10gb switch and a 10GB ethernet to TB3 adapter for each machine? Or would this effectively be the same thing using TB3 cables directly into the expansion cards?

Thanks in advance.

Ash

  advics for my father in law
Posted by: Enquiries - 07-25-2022, 12:01 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - No Replies

Hi there you awsome nascompares,


I am looking for some advise about type of NAS I am looking for:
the situation:

my father in law is a video and photo enthusiast. he has several external hdd's laying arroud in a total of about 6 TB.

he creates allot of videos with his drones and camera's and mixes those videos together and stores them. He also likes to it to use it like an video/photo player on lcd in living room.

requirements:

- expandiblity I guess
- 400-650 diskless.
- 6TB no but growing
- so expandabillity.
- easy os to learn.
- HDMI for 4K (nice to have for video playing directly to tv).

my idea was get an 2-4 bay nas with with m2 ssd slot for caching. polulate it with 1 or 2 slots left for expandabillity. so slam an 8 TB in raid 1 a 3 or 4 bay.

myself I have the qnap 332x. I have some experience on linux, but do not want to be his helpdesk for daily use. therefore I want a solid easy os, and support from a vendor instead of a community.

my first bet was synoligy because of their reputation of the OS. but they all lack HDMI.


my first tought was the following:
synology 920+ (but expendabillity is expensive and no HDMI).
qnap ts-364 (4k 30Hz and a bit noisy for the living room).

qnap ts-464 (checks all the boxes, but is not released in europe)

did I overlook someting?

and which drives to take?

youyrs thankfully,
Robert Lemke

  Nord Meshnet on QNAP TS453Be
Posted by: Enquiries - 07-25-2022, 12:01 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - No Replies

Hi, I like the look of Nord VPN's Meshnet service but I can't see any online tutorials for running Nord VPN on a qnap NAS. I use the QVPN app to connect to a Nord VPN server account for downloads but meshnet seems to be an feature within the Nord VPN app. In order to get that running on a QNAP could I just try the 'Install Nord VPN on Linux' route or is that likelyto screw up my NAS ?

Thanks

Keep up the good work.
Hope the donations campaign is going well.
