Hi
I am planning on having a rackmount server and I am currently using desktop computers for the following tasks:
One PC running Blue IRIS on windows for my 8 cameras. Its a Surveillance application that does some AI features for video analysis like Face Detection, vehicle and or other objects detection, and plate detection.
One PC tunning Home Assistant automation software on Lenox for my mixed home automation devices.
Want to add a file sharing server NAS.

I want a rackmount server to host all of the above. I was looking for a Dell, HP, or a Lenovo Rack server but prefer short depth one to be able to only use a Network Rack instead of a big rack.

In my search, someone told me about QNAP and Synology. I never heard of them before.
I fount your videos covering those two companies. Thank you very much for your efforts on those videos.

We are now in 2024 and many things have advanced.
Can you please help me decide on one company and what model to buy?

I asked this in the fb group with no response so maybe you can help me. I’m kinda stuck trying to figure this out.

Doing hyper backup to another nas running hyper backup vault. The process is a success and everything seems to transfer over, so that’s great.

However when I try to use the integrity check, within about 30-45 minutes or so, it will get to 60% and then just hand there. I’ve left it for days and it just kinda locks up and doesn’t let me do anything else, like it’s just froze up, the only way to unfreeze it is to remove it from the ups and power it down.

I’ve tried to do this twice with the same result. Any idea?

Hi,

First off - thanks for the great videos and advice!

My DS1515+ died and I was looking at the DS1522+ as a replacement, but after watching your video I am worried that perhaps it is not the best fit, and I should maybe try to wait a couple of months to see if there will be a DS1524+ or maybe bump up to a DS1621+. Due to the limitations of the DS1515+, I have not been doing too much transcoding in plex, and just storing a 1080 and 4k version of videos. It would be nice to only have 4k and transcode down when needed.

What are your guy's thoughts? Should I be looking somewhere else?

Also, any advice on what to do with the old DS1515+. It's the blue blinking light. Power supply was checked, resistor has been added, and transistor has been replaced so it must be an unknown motherboard error.

Hello,
I plan to purchase a NAS 1522+ for my home office/Small Business. I found in an old box a 5x1GE switch TL=SG105. The plan was to use it as link aggregator, but it doesn't support that feature. A different model SG105E would support just Static Link Aggregation, but not LACP. Will it work with my new NAS? Or I will be limited to use a Link redundancy/failover functionality?

I am working for a church and I am trying to find a solution where I can open a design or video editing project that someone has closed out of and finish the edit. One of your designers work part time at home, can she still edit from home by remoting into the NAS? Also I will be editing off of proxies in Davinci, and designing through Adobe. Any issues with setup or complications I may hit

I am thinking of following this setup.

NAS Unit: Synology DS1821+ (RAID6 Configuration)

Hard Drives: Six Seagate IronWolf Pro 12TB drives to start just have 2

Memory Upgrade: Nemix 32GB Memory Module (2x16GB)

Network Adapter Upgrade: Synology 10Gb Ethernet Adapter 1 RJ45 Port

SSD Cache Drive: Western Digital Red SN700 NVMe M.2 2280 2TB (RAID0 Configuration) - to improve scrubbing through timeline - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrvOnxecqio

10G Adapter: OWC Thunderbolt3 10G Ethernet Adapter (For MacBook Pro M3)

Network Switch: NETGEAR 10-Port Gigabit/10G Ethernet Unmanaged Switch (GS110MX)

What NAS storage device will support Sybase databases (IE: QuickBooks desktop client files with multiple users.)

I am in the market for a NAS and I like some of the Asustor offerings. However, I have been reading complaints about the warranty service with Asus. Have any of those warranty issues carried over into the Asustor offerings?

Hi there.

Right now i'm sharing files (Photos) via cloud based services via link but i'm thinking of buying a used NAS and a friend have a QNAP TS-559 Pro II or TS-431P but i'm totally confused which one to buy. I just need the best solution to share files easy but of course with the best hardware possible. What would be the best of these to buy. Thanks a lot for a quick replay.

All the best.

BTW great site

Hi, I'm using my mobile data as a backup internet connection. I read somewhere that I can connect my phone to a usb c to ethernet adapter and use that as my NAS' internet access. I connected my phone to my router and It worked and I saw that it was connected, but for the life of me, don't remember how I saw that. I've been looking through control panel/network but still can't find it. I just need to see if it connected or not to know it's working. Can you please help? My NAS is a DSM1821+ on 7.2.1

I'm looking for a Nas. Im a music producer that needs to store loads of audio files, lncluding some video files for the music channel.

I would like some suggestions for 4 bay nas brand and also for DIY alternatives with the list of parts that I could aquire from amazon.

Many thanks,
Brian
