I will use the nas in a home environment and I will need features such as USB drive copy button. Silent while not reading or writing to the drive. for data redundancy, the important data can be copied to an external USB drive, or manually backed up to a cd(so I don't need data redundancy until I run out of storage and buy another HDD) The speed of the nas is not very important but it shud not be slow either.

Hi,

I was thinking to buy a TS-673 from Qnap, but it would likely not be sufficient for also allowing me to install a Docker with Sonarr, Radarr, Plex and the various downloaders. Therefore, I thought to build a Linux box to run a docker with those apps and also incorporate FreeNas.

Now the question is: Are there apps for Freenas like Qnap and Synology (Photo Station, Time Machine, Memories, access files from anywhere)?

Thank you,

Abot file transfer and read speed, better nvme caching or 10GbE?

Thanks in advance

I am using two NAS with one is synology ds115j and one is qnap ts-253a. Please tell me how to connect these two NAS in my home pc so that I can transfer data / copy files in a easy way between them, but not synchronize.

I am wanting to invest in an emulator system, which will require 34-40TB of disk space, and to have a local hard drive letter D: in order to install and maintain the games. Having a NAS from someone like Synology obviously will not work, as it would behave as mapped instead of physical drive.

I have a USB-C port on the back of my NVidia graphics card which I could utilize for connection, but I do not have the Thunderbolt 3 that I see in various DAS configurations.

Any ideas on a good manufacturer, and maybe few brands I should be aiming towards? In the past I have settled for a Drobo, which I guess would be fine for just storage without a lot of additional features. This might be okay, but wanted to bounce it off of you for advice, as this is much more of your cup of tea.

Hi, found your site today and it is the most informative I have been on - well done!
I am moving from an old iMac to 2 macbook pro's for my wife and I. Having had an external drive fail on me this week, we want to get a NAS drive. Key things are; backup and RAID, ability to use Time Machine, stream iTunes library to each mac or speakers (we have sonos), access files when we are not at home, ability to link to iPhones to back up pictures.
Some of the models that seem to jump out to me (but I don't know why )are;
Synology ds218j
WD my cloud EX2 ultra
Drobo 5N2.
I need something that is easy to setup and use. I love gadgets but not clever enough to use them.
Alternatively any suggestions from you.
I'm thinking 2 x 4 or 6 TB to give plenty of capacity.
Hope you can help
Cheers
David Hall
