Diminishing Hive support has lead to the purchase of 2 Reolink RLC 823A cameras any information ie setup additional hardware needed would be gratefully received kind regards Dave

Hi,

I don't want to transcode the video. I want to play them on the Original resoulution. In this case the NAS need to be strong hardwelly?

I can buy a use nas like: ds116 with 2TB hdd for like 200 usd. I want to watch movies in 1080p from multiple devices (2-3 max) at one time, with no transcoding.

Is it good for it?

Thanks

Can anybody help

I’m looking at purchasing the DS420+
How am I best encrypting the files on my laptop’s hard drive that will work with the NAS both on-site and remotely keeping all the Synology features?

Kind Regards

Jackie

Dear,

Hope this mail finds You well? I'm one of yours subscriber on Youtube and need your advice. I'm searching for a NAS device - Synology or QNAP (due to support in my country) which will support my current needs and business.

So I need my NAS to support:
- mail service
- file server & synchronization
- data backup
- virtualization and virtual machines (up to 5 max)

So what is Your suggestion?

Stay well and hope to hear from You.

Thank You in advance.

Br,

Hello,

I am looking for a better solution for managing my music, movies, video, and pictures. I currently have about 15,000 photos, 4000 songs, and 200 movies and 1000 videos (iphone videos). This is somewhere in the neighborhood of 700 GBs. I'm not sure if I need a new setup or just a change in my current setup for what I need.

My goal:
-Quickly be able to view and sort photos and videos into a folder structure (need fast thumbnail viewing and drag/drop to folders) current setup is very slow at loading thumbnails when mounted
-setup a scheduled backup of data on a separate drive
-access files remotely on mobile device or laptop (doesn't have to be a mounted drive when remote, web is fine)

Bonus:
-view/access photos and movies from local devices like a ROKU player


Current Setup:
-Google Nest Mesh WiFi Router
-Synology 2 bay NAS DiskStation DS218j
-WD Red 1TB NAS Hard Drive - 5400 RPM Class, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64 MB Cache, 3.5" - WD10EFRX
-WD Caviar Green 2 TB Desktop Hard Drive WD20EARS

RED is MAIN NAS and the GREEN is Synology Hybrid Raid

I use a Synology 415+ currently and I want to upgrade due to tha age of my current NAS and because I also want to virtualise Windows for some programs that do not run on my Mac. NAS is otherwise used as a file server, Time Machine Backup Server and to run a couple of Docker containers. I was thinking about the DS 1522+ But I‘m not sure if this machine can offer a decent virtualisation experience. Thanks and best regards, Ulli

Hi I have a Synology 1515+ which has a well documented power issue, it fails and doesn't start, it's a well documented issue with a SMD transistor failing. I have changed this and it will work for a few months and fails again. Are you aware of this issue and if so do later variants such as the 1522 have a similar issue.? My second question I have a 19in wall mounted rack, if I go for a entry level rack nas 4 bay (Synology) are the screws on the front stong enough without rails or a shelf? Thank you Vince

can you pls tell me the price of Synology FS3410

Hi, I'm looking for a NAS for my home. I'm undecided between the DS220J and the DS220+.
I would use it (4 people max using it) for File Storage (also remotely), video playback (Mostly inside the house, without transcoding if possible), Photo Sync with Synology Photos, and for a docker station so that I can run some light programs a password manager from inside my home.
The only 3 issues I have with the DS220J are: Can I run docker without eating all of the RAM? Is half a gig of memory enough for my daily tasks? Can I stream my video files to my TV (The file will play from a USB stick on the TV and a simple Network Shared folder from Windows)?
Thanks for reading this, I just need to know which one to buy.

Hi,
I need to stop m NAS changing it's location on the network all the time. I've set qfile up to backup the iphones but the NAS changes it's port and name all the time and I have to keep searching with Qfinder pro and set it back up again. It then goes through thousands of photos which have already been uploaded. Can you point me to somewhere that explains how to avoid this in simple terms.
Thank you.
Martin
