hey!
i loved your video going through the dns pings from Ugreen, and how security is important there. i just bought a Terramaster 425 (the non pro version) and am wondering if it's safe to store my child's photos on the TOS using Immich for example, or if I should buy an external SSD enclosure and run TrueNas instead?
i'm very much a beginner but privacy and security are my main priority.
what are your thoughts? how do you feel about the TOS security and privacy compared to the UGreen situation?

In your video to setup Plex Media Server on an Asustor NAS you say to create a new user account to limit what Plex Media Server can access but don't mention how to use it. How do you get the Plex Media Server to run using that account?

Thank you,
Ed

I have a Zyxel NSA325 2 bay with 2x2TB drives and it has been in service over 10 years now. Looking to replace with a 4 bay 4x2TB drive NAS. The main feature I am looking for is a easy user interface as I was never able to utilize the features of my Zyxel fully because it was too complicated to sort out. I will probably invest in a 2.5gb network interface as well while at it. Can you recommend 3 choices that might fit my needs?

I am upgrading from a Drobo before it dies, and want something that works with the Mac OS and programs as well as Time Machine.

No experience with NAS

Hi! I have been watching your YouTube channel and have YET to find the best way to max out my memory on my DS1520+. I know, it's old. I know, I'm on DSM6. (no one can tell me how I can safely update to 7 w/o losing a HUGE video library I have)....but I need to max out ram on this. is 16GB the max? Single chip? brand?

Please help!

TIA!

I was forunate to be a recipient for a competition that Beelink held, giving away the upcoming ME Pro. This will by my first NAS device.

I'd like adviceon which HDDs to buy for it, keeping in mind the following

1) cost per gb
2) noise
3) durability
4) power/heat

I've seen the NAS compares review of the Beelink, as well as that which compares Seagate vs WD but would like to be doubly sure that I'm buying right, as it's my first time. I plan to mirror the drives. Thank you for your help.

I would like to build a NAS that is 10gb SFP+, that can support 4K uhd ripped movies and other personal files. Ideally it would support ecc for extra protection. I have an Intel i7-7700k and i have maxed out that cpu when copying files to/from the nas. I’m power conscious as i would like to run it 24/7 unless you think i can create some automation with Wake on LAN. I also have an Intel Arc A310 ECO and A380 FOR AV1 transcoding. I also have an ATX power supply, 10gb pcie card, and nvme.2 ssd pcie card that i can reuse.

Looking at setting up my own media server. Used to use external HDD plugged into TV, which are needing an upgrade and more storage. New to NAS and Media Servers, but quick learner.

Have been looking at the LincStation N2 and running it directly into the network, without any PC.

Can get products easily from USA and AUS.

Appreciate any advice.

I currently have a UGREEN DXP2800 with 2) Seagate IronWolf 16TB NAS Internal Hard Drive HDD – 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s 7200 RPM 256MB Cache, 2) Samsung 990 PRO SSD 1TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 Internal Solid State Hard Drive, Seq. Read Speeds Up to 7,450 MB/s, and 16 GB of RAM. I am thinking about upgrading to a DXP4800 Plus. My current issues is that UGREEN OS does not offer full disk encryption and I want full disk encryption. What would be the best OS to install on a new DXP4800+ that offers full disk encryption? Any recommendations for the amount of RAM for the DXP4800+? Thank you for all your help.
