I have 4*2TB HDD drive in NAS. now the storage is full and i have planned to upgrade 2*10TB. Then how should i transfer exciting files to new 10TB hard drive.

Disk-station model: DS418j

Hi Rob,

A small question, with possibly half an answer.;-)

I recently bought 2x the same QNAP TS-653D

12x WD RED PLUS 4TB
2x QM2-2S10G1TA (caching data, raid 1)
4x Crucial MX500 m.2 500GB
4x KCP426SD8/16

I call them Chip & Dale!

Chip I made the 6 disks raid 5
and at Dale 4 drives raid 5 and 2 raid 0 because I think I need this speed because I use the shared mapping for my standard windows folders to write and read in. These are being synchronized with Chip every night, so far so good :-D

Now I notice that the Intel Celeron J4125 gets pretty hot IDLE: (I have already removed the plastic covers)


QNAP Dale: CPU temperature is 53 ° C / 127 ° F
and System temperature: 43 ° C / 109 ° F

QNAP Chip: CPU temperature is 50 ° C / 122 ° F
and System temperature: 38 ° C / 100 ° F



Besides the fact that the QM2-2S10G1TA card gives off extra heat.
And the difference in temperature is clearly due to the fact that with Dale I have 4 drives in raid 5 and 2 in raid 0, which means that the Intel Celeron J4125 has to work harder than with Chip.

I think these temperatures are quite on the high side, it is still spring with an indoor temperature of 20 degrees, but later in the hot summer the indoor temperature can easily rise to 27/28 degrees.

The two systems stand freely and neatly on a shelf and have enough free air around them. Why QNAP chose this design is really a mystery to me.

Can you give advice on this ...

Thanks a lot in advance, I am a big fan of your website and Youtube channel ...
Keep Up The Good Work !!!

How do I copy from seagate uSB backup to my DS220J NAS?

My question when do you think QNAP will be releasing an new TVS-472XT seeing as they first came out in 2008 I beleive...

Dear Sir / Madam,

Currently am I living in the Netherlands and enjoy watching your videos. Recently I have bought a NAS Synology DS920+ and enjoying it so far.
The only bump on road for me and what quite frustrating is. Is that when I install “Plex Media Server” from the package Center or through the website itself from Plex. Each time I open Plex Media Server I get an error when opening Plex Media Server “No soup for you! You do not have access to this server. This message plus the hours, I have spent to researching it to solve it. Let me too nowhere and is quite frustrating. That is the reason I wanted to contact you, because you are far more experienced than me and maybe you know the answer to this problem.

Could you please help me and guide me through process, what I should do? Thank you for reading this email and your time. I have also attached a screenshot of what I see when opening Plex Media Server with this email.

Where Are the Synology Play and Standard Series?
Yes, as fantastically clickbaity as the title might well suggest, there is simply no other way to put it. Where are the Synology PLAY and Standard ser

6 guys need to edit video as a team using premiere pro with pretty big files (some clips are 6 or more hours long). We have DS 3613 xs with two extensions all filled with 8TB drives and connected with 10G. It is too slow likely due to media cache files stored on nas. CPU is often saturated. Question - would change to DS3617Xs and installation of some (4?) SSDs make big difference in access to cache files ? Or better we switch to FS3600 which we also may have with SAS drives, but no SSDs. In other worlds low cost update or high end rental? Or other solution?
