I am looking to get started in transitioning to a nas that supports apps to bring current cloud storage and activities in house. I do not have initial capital to purchase what I would like (Synology DS920+) or something equivalent. A system with 4 bays seems to be ideal but not sure I need to start there. Would purchasing a lesser system and then upgrading be viable (can disks be transferred from one Synology device to another or should I look into something like TerraMaster and make that work?

Synology for a file server? |

Hi,
first of all, I'm a regular viewer of your youtube content and learned a lot by watching your videos. Now, we're in the midst of replacing our venerable Win 2008 R2 server that served us well, and initially served as an ActiveDirectory DC, a file server and ESET NOD console, and a Autodesk Flexnet licensing server. We added a newer server 5 years ago that took over as the domain controller, and now, as we grew as a company, we have a much bigger need for file services than before. Up until now, users filled just below 300GB of data but now the projected usage should be around 80TB (I'm planning to setup client PC backups on it). So 8x 10TB drives should do (this is all overestimation!). I already use a DS214+ for server backups and it works flawlessly for its role. Should I just get a Synology RS1221RP+ and fill it with WDs and/or Ironwolves/Pro? Or should I consider something else? Thanks in advance.

Quiet NAS Drives? |

2u Server SilverStone RM21-308 case. Want to start off with just 2 drives for UnRAID but want them to best quiet(ish) as its in my living room but durable enough to run 24/7 most days. Anything 10TB+ is good. The 2u server is also in a rack enclosure which should help with noise. About 12-15 feet from my couch. Again biggest concerns are noise and durability, performance would be a nice 3rd factor but the first two are paramount.

Hi,
First of all, sorry for my bad english writing :-)
I have been looking at this NAS QNAP TS-h886 and it looks verry good. But I have heard that QNAP is not so good on customer service, I was looking at a youtube video that sceered me a lot. Do I have to be sceered to not get help.
Take a look at this youtube video please. What do you think about this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELJcjn-OcZ4
I have also looked at your youtube video for comparing ts-h886 and synology 1621xs+ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSU2WtsYSIg&t
My purpose for a NAS is 3 things. Backup for my computers in my network, filesharing on my network and maybe the most important thing is Virtualization to setup diffrent system like Pi-Hole, Win Server 2019 and some other system. What do you think here. Witch do you think is the best NAS for virtualization.
And I will thank you for an EXCELENT youtube channel you have. I found it verry usefull :-)

Playing music from your Synology NAS to your Amazon Echo Speaker? |

Hi
I read your very helpful guide to setting up My Media on a Synology NAS to improve the functionality of using Alexa to play content from the Synology Audio app.
My question is, can My Media play radio stations configured within User-defined radio on the Synology Audio app?
So I have a radio station named Atlantis FM. My goal would be to say "Alexa ask My Media to play Atlantis FM" and it would play.
Regards
Chris
