I have 1TB which was "compressed" and "encrypted" into about 800GB as a backup on Google Drive.
The backup was made with the official QNAP HBS app.
HOWEVER, I bet there were several connection interruption while it was making the initial backup so...
Now I just don't know if I should feel safe or not, how can I test if the backup is / stays healthy and has integrity and not corrupt? Is there any way we can check this periodically?

I just bought an Asustor Nimbustor AS5304T. This has dual 2.5Gbe ethernet ports. My PC has a 10Gbe ethernet port but my switch is only 1Gbe capable.

So I tried to place my NAS 'between' the PC and the switch, hoping that the PC would see the NAS at 2.5Gbe whilst the PC and NAS would then see the rest of the world at only 1Gbe.

To be clear, NAS ethernet port 1 to PC, NAS ethernet port 2 to switch.

However, when I do this the PC cannot see the internet, but can see the NAS.

How can I achieve what I want, without having to buy an expensive new switch?

Thanks!

PS I'm not a Trump nut, I just mispelled Mega :-)

I followed your guide and saw that my used swap memory has a value of 360Mb and should be 0 like stated (in your guide, you are at 4Kb).

So I guess I should upgrade my memory in my NAS, I received errors that I had not enough ressources to play some files on my plex server, so I guess this is related.

I have the DS1817 unchanged, what maximum memory is supported officially and unoficially (can I have 16 Gb on that model) and which memory modules I should get.

Thanks a lot!

Hi, wanted to upgrade my DS-414, 4 Bay NAS with more memory and/or a more powerfull CPU.
If this is not possible are there possibilities to change the whole Main board witch would have more RAM and a more powerfull CPU, or would it be better to buy a completely NEW NAS?

I appreciate your website and videos. They’re very helpful. I’m trying to figure out if a NAS can replace my DVR which I rent from my cable service. Can a NAS schedule and record tv programs from my cable provider? If so, which NAS devices would work well with this?

I am looking for a benchmark between Windows File Server versus HDS NAS.

Hi, I am looking into getting my first NAS QNAP TS230 with 2x 4TB HDDs. My question is-

QNAP has a "recommended" NAS HDD drives list on their website, does it mean it wont work as efficiently from something outside that list? I was thinking of getting the Seagate Ironwolf ST4000VN0008 which is not a part of the recommended list on QNAP's website.

Is there any way I today can install an external or internal GPU for my qnap ts 1635 ax?

I am looking for a NAS as a small music server. I am using a Buffalo Link station at present. My library is small compared with others. It currently is 250gb of Flac I do not see this going beyond 500 gb
I have seen a set up where someone had set up a music server using the DS218j. Whilst I am sure this does the job well, I prefer the appearance of the Play version. The set up I saw was using Plex to sort his libraries which I liked and would want to include this feature. Most of the time I will play back through a Sonos system. I do not visulalise wanting to connect to the NAS externally (outside my home) so all my equipment will play the Flac media.

So will the DS218 play suit my purpose, and if I set it up on 1 disc can I add a second later and arrange it in a raid situation so that I have a back-up if one disk fails.

I've chosen the QNAP TVS-872XT for a variety of reasons but I have couple of questions I can't find an answer to... Maybe you can help?

1. Video Transcoding: Can I transcode a 1080p ProRes LT .mov file to 1080p (h264) .mp4 with that NAS? And will I be able to automate the process from a portable HDD in the front "USB copy" port?
(the reason I'm unsure is because I read you can only transcode down resolution ie from 4K to 1080 but I'm uncertain about 1080 to 1080)
