  Confused
Posted by: Enquiries - 04-11-2024, 08:00 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Hi,
I wrote you 2 weeks ago and got a great response, thanks and sorry to bother you again. After that I was ordered TS-473a but cancelled it after I saw the hardware (TS-473 has a CPU from 2021)on UGREEN series and watch your videos. But I am very confused now.
I liked to use the NAS for backup my media over cloud (photos from my phone), create some WMs, SMB and Plex. So, I thought that UGREEN solution DXP6800 Pro has a perfect price/performance machine which I can use for a long time. But when I start to read software part I started to afraid because the software is not good enough and we could now will it be supported or not. I also create a WM for Truenas scale, it seems good but don't know can I trust third party apps for backup my media. Also, I want to start 2 -3 hdd not want to use all drives while I don't have that much data, so I need to be able add new disks and increase my pool. Is it possible on Truenas or other alternatives?
Thanks again,
Best regards,
Oezay

  Hyper back up for business versus hyper back up
Posted by: Enquiries - 04-11-2024, 07:00 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Hello. I’m kinda confused between hyper back up and hyper back up for business. I have all my important files saved on a drive in my closet just in case. However, I’d like to be able to back up all the settings and the virtual machines and the docker containers. I’m confused as to which method I should use to make a copy of my Nas and all its files and settings. I was going to buy another Synology to do this, I’m just not sure which route to go .

God forbid System crash. I’d like to just restore from a back up and everything be exactly the way it is now.


Thanks for all your help.

  4-bay NAS
Posted by: Enquiries - 04-11-2024, 02:00 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Hello, I hope this message finds you.
I am looking for a NAS that does generally back up and is a 4k plex server for potentially multiple people streaming at once
I kickstarted the ugreen 4800 plus. but watching more videos. I dont know if I should just buy the synology ds423+
I like the hardware specs on paper of the ugreen but the established brand of synology is nice.

  Qumagie / Tailscale
Posted by: Enquiries - 04-10-2024, 06:30 AM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Hello Ed and Robbie, I hope you are both well.

Have either of you ever used Qumagie and Tailscale successfully together to access Nas for outside the local network?

If so can you please help me?

I can not get Qumagie to connect to the server outside of my local network.

When I log in to Tailscale it says that my NAS and Phone are connected. I ever turned my Firewall off and tested again and it did not make a difference.

I think that I am putting in the wrong info on the Qumagie app. Best guess.

I am more than Happy to pay you for your help.

Please let me know.

Thank you,

Sam.

  DS923+ set up

Can I test out the new NAS with a couple of old drives then remove them and start fresh when I can afford 4 larger drives? Just want to make sure the unit is OK before the return period closes and not cause any issues later.

  Home NAS + Server for Docler
Posted by: Enquiries - 04-09-2024, 09:00 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

So I have hit the wall with analysis and had a brain melt.. I have a Synology NAS 4 bay LN59764 and have recently loaded a whole bunch of docker containers onto it circa 8 (most of the radarr family apps using docker) then plex, home photos etc... the little synology isn't happy as it is now several years old. I got very excited and bought a SST-RM42-502 4U Rackmount Case (not the right case but could buy a ali 4 drive case to support the drives... and then i got stuck. I've no idea what to get ... please help. What I do want is

- a server rack mount NAS/Home Server capable of a number of virtual devices
- by my estimate 64GB Ram at a minimum
- 4 drives of 10 TB each
- I would love to link it to my Ubiquity Switch SFP port and have a second network link as a backup.
-Space isn't really a concern - hight maybe
- power consumption not an issue. Having said that heat is always an issue but i can manage that to some extent.
- the £1200 is not inclusive of storage.

  Switch that can support LACP (10gbe / 2.5gbe)
Posted by: Enquiries - 04-09-2024, 02:00 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Hello,

On your recommendation I went for the R1 (thanks for the video) I also decided to splash out on Community Fibre's 3gb internet offer. As such I am looking for a switch can can connect to their router via 10gbe but also has some future proofing with 2.5gbe ethernet. Finally I wanted to use both 2.5g ports on the R1 and use LACP. There are lots of routers out there but their support for LACP is questionable. I've looked around (as well as on Aliexpress) and their switches (although advertise LACP are not).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

  What to do.
Posted by: Enquiries - 04-09-2024, 12:30 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

I have two QNAP 3 bay NA's which one is the main NAS (TS-351 2x500gb nvme and 3x2tb) and the other a backup TS-328 (3x2tb) Both raid 5. I have just decomissioned a Synology DS414 due to age with 2x2tb and 2x1gb running SHR. I was looking to perhaps get a little more space from looking at potentially upgrading my main nas to a 4 or 5 bay and changing the TS351 to backup (probably just a raid 0 although I don't like that idea as there is no failure tolerance). I do back up to several other sources too. So what I am looking for is a sensible file store option to I can move on the DS414 and the TS-328 but I don't need a media server as I have a mini pc for that and something I can re-use the NVME in and also add the 2x2tb to to up my space.
I am wary of synology now due to compatability of non synology drives but loved the SHR which meant I could fill it with spre disks as an extra backup before I got cloud storeage and local storage on other devices. what would you recommend I look at?

I have a Lenovo NAS EMC px6-300d. It's probably about 10 years old. Is it capable of running a Google drive Shared Cloud?
