Hi I have watched your intros to Synology DSM7 I currently am a Netgear Readynas user but after a recently replaced 626x I am looking at the Synology DS1621XS+
The problem I have is I don't seem to be able to get my head around the file part
On the Netgear Readynas I have mainly music and films I know how to create a share / folder allow access it shows up in finder on my Mac and if I click on it it shows the shares /folders click on that drop movie etc onto required folder Share job done
When setting up Kodi /Plex direct to either the IP address / Films etc map a drive in windows from my HTPC so that Plex accesses the media source same with Kodi
I just don't want to jump out of the frying pan if I have got this wrong
With Synology once you have created the volume with my Readynas I have only one volume but say four shares FILMS/MUSIC/Windows Backup/Roon Backup all very simple
But with the Synology it all seems quiet complicated also as I only use my nas basically for watching films from what you say I don't think I would benefit from nvme ssd cache
Any help suggestions would be much appreciated also would I still be able to use my 526X to back up the shares folders from the Synology as to start with buying two is a bit heavy going
I would reuse the Seagate Ironwolf Pro 10TB drives I have in the 626x they are in the compatible list of Synology Seagate ST10000NE0004 I am currently using RAID 5

Kind Regards

Can you use the elecgear and the xpg s70 blade heat spreader at the same time? I hear it's "not a heak sink for a heat sink" comment but the xpg is a heat spreader not a heat sink. Thanks for any insight.

Dear Sirs -- I am on the market to buy my first NAS. I want it for home purposes only, mainly to backup all my data (photos, docs, videos, not really music or movies fttb).

I think I scaled down my choice, and would go for a Synology 220+, or a 420j (yeah, I know, quite different animals). I use macOS, and I manage all my photos with the native Photos app for Mac).

Could you please recommend me which one of these 2 would better fit my use case?

Thank you very much!!

I'm wrestling with the decision: Synology DS 920+, 1522+, or 922+. Presuming the 922+ would have 10G transfer rate.

In reading your reviews and noting the Surveillance cameras opportunity in this system, I am curious as to how high the resolution of the cameras could be if the 920+ is chosen?

I am trying to find 12 MP security cameras at manageable prices, and so, would like to know if such cameras (high data rates) are manageable in the 920+ context.

As of today I have been requested to find a video doorbell that can be recorded as well. In reading through the offerings I am not sure if any of even the wired models have remote storage as an option? If you know of any please advise.

Does the surveillance camera capability of the 920+ make my American Dynamics Intellex Ultra video recorders obsolete?

I have a negative association w.r.t. the Celeron processor, and this more than other issues make me think I should wait for a 922+. Is this a valid concern?

I have just ruined a number of drives both with, and without, data on them by plugging them into an ostensibly new/refurbished SSK docking station - If that data point has value to you...

I'm hoping the 920+ will be able to revive the new WD 16TB Gold drives(2), which were new and unblemished before the docking station? Is this likely?

In essence I am upgrading to an NAS because of my experience with the docking station. (That and the fact that I have so many smaller external mount drives that I can no longer keep track of them.)

I need to act soon, so any guidance you can offer is most appreciated.

My technical understanding of the devices mentioned above is limited to approximately the information contained above.

Thank you.

Dear Ed,

I'd love to stream media straight from my NAS, but I have encountered a problem... some media files can't play back because there is a problem with the audio track, others play back fine...

I think this is a problem with the NAS software as it probably won't support the audio file, do you have any idea how I could fix this issue?

"Failed to play the video because the file format of the currently selected audio track is not supported." or as you can read here https://community.synology.com/enu/forum/1/post/115214

Kind regards!

I am looking to purchase a NAS system, mainly to centralise data storage and accessibility.
Requirements:
1. There are about 6 different departments that would need individual space on it
2. Secure Access to data & transfer & sharing both in the building and remotely by each individual team
3. Video storage following live stream plus video editing of church services. I will not be streaming videos from the NAS
4. Also will be storing pics and audio of events other than these large files, there will be simple day to day files
5. I will need redundancy
6. Never used a NAS before, however I am quite techy. Therefore I will need an interface/software that can easily guide me through at anytime in most eventualities during set up and maintenance

Thank you very much for your help and keep up the good works of educating us out here.

QNAP or other alternatives. What to buy?

What NAS should I get with 4+ slots if I am a photographer on a budget? What is the best bang for the buck? And what is the difference between 1G, 2.5G, and 10G connections?

My Internet speed is less than 1G right now.
