Discuss: Synology and RAID - How to Setup a Hot Spare

Buenas tardes me interesaria saber si puedo aumentar memoria ran al NAS SYNOLOGY DS716+II

Hello I have a Qnap TVS-872XT. I am looking for a UPS that will work for this and allow me to automatically shut off the nas if there was a power outage. This would be the only thing connected to my UPS.

I am on a budget so I was wondering what would be the most cost effective UPS i can buy here in Canada?

Thank you for your help!

Hi, I am new to the NAS world and not a tech-savy guy...
I am looking for a safe solution to store a time machine back-up (2 TB) a growing Lightroom catalog and original pictures (~1 TB), one small laptop (500gb).
I was thinking about something like a drobo because of its ease of use (expansion, various drives sizes etc) but saw reviews about limited performance and reliability. Sinology DS218+ seemed another option but the poor customer service and limited assistance are not reassuring as I am not an expert (by far).

What could be the best cheap option for me without sacrificing size expansion and simplicity? I know there is no perfect solution

Thanks!

Olivier

Wondering why the WD PR4100 dropped off your top list?

In a comparison with the Synology 918+ if you were simply using the NAS for Plex which would you prefer?

Am only really looking at max. 2 streams playing at once and I have a 4k smart TV that ill be streaming too.

thanks!

Hi there,

Great fan of the channel.

Quick question:
I'm planning on purchasing a TS-473 and I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade with graphic card for video transcoding and 10gbe card adapter.

The purpose of the NAS is:
- 4k transcoding Plex server
- Time machine
- File storage
- (little) Docker container machine

I also like Synology but cannot find a solution that seems to fit my need. This QNAP is best for the budget but cannot figure out a solution that can fit my need.

Thanks in advance,
Alex

Hello there,

I see your answer on my further message
https://nascompares.com/answer/nas-for-editing-with-capture-11-one-pro/

Still not moved on my side.
I got elsewhere advice that for a normal use, link agregation is not a solution (private / non commercial user, router is a Fritzbox, not able to manage that without further expenses)

Last point is that I would really prefer Synology and not QNAP, So what would be your advice on Synology, and any point of comparison to QNAP?

Regards
Christof
