  Budget NAS?
Posted by: Enquiries - 02-28-2020, 03:37 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (2)

Planning to buy a NAS for home. Already added 12TB ironwolf NAS to cart. But yet to buy the NAS where my mind keeps shuffling between Synology D220+ and Asustor as6602t and as6202t. Looking for some deals too.

I generally use the NAS for storing media files, 4k files, photos and use it as media server too.

I need your advice on what type of NAS i should go with.

  SYNOLOGY OR QNAP?
Posted by: Enquiries - 02-28-2020, 03:37 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (2)

HI, I would like a recommendation based on my use case.
I have files, photos, videos.
I want to centralize my info and want to have a reliable nas.
I have read and watched the videos, but still, anytime I go to try the QNAP live platform - is slower than synology. probably less responsive and with a bunch of glitches.
So, just wondering what is your recommendation ? get synology ?
I want a flexible NAS, but also a stable one.
been looking at 253+ 453+ and 420+ / 720+ 920+ from synology.

I don't want to have stability issues, or glitches with programs. I use Alexa, Mac's and love the flexibility to have everything around me ( meaning files )
Also, use FIRETV, roku,
I hope to transfer my home videos to the NAS using PLEX as a server.
Also use Apple TV,

thanks for your recomendation

Current router has 2.5 port ( ax86u) Asus. which I am thinking for using for my NAS.

Dilemma = most synology have 1gig port, some If I use this router I will need to use port aggression for the Asus.

SO, I am not sure either what's best having a router with 2.5 port or having 8 ports of 1gig and using the port aggregation / or adding a 2.5 switch to my NAS.

Having the router with a 2.5 lan gives me the advantage of connecting the internet (xfinity and getting > 1200bps) but, I will be limited on the other lan ports for 1gig

Thanks for your recomnedaiton

  TS-251D memory upgrade?
Posted by: Enquiries - 02-28-2020, 03:37 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (2)

I am looking to upgrade the memory of my QNAP TS-251D-2G NAS server to get going on virtualization. On Kingston's &quot;Find compatible RAM&quot; page, KVR26S19S6/4 comes up as an compatible upgrade. I would buy 2 modules of that kind, just 8 GB each for a total of 16 GB. However, I was wondering if I instead could use the paired HyperX set HX426S15IB2K2/16. Looking through specs, they should be identical except the HyperX modules have a lower CAS latency (which is normally considered better). At the local retailer, the HyperX set is nearly the same price as two valueRAM modules, and I am not able to find a paired set of ValueRAM. I expect it is better to use paired modules, but I have no evidence for this. Normally I wouldn't hesitate going with the HyperX modules instead, but online forums almost exclusively mention crucial memory upgrades. That is why I am a bit hesitant, and would like expert and/or user advice on whether the HyperX modules would be expected to work, or there could be some subtle differences I am not aware of, that could potentially disqualify the modules. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

  4k Editing NAS?
Posted by: Enquiries - 02-28-2020, 03:37 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (2)

Hello,

I am starting a year-long filming project and am looking for about 40Tb of useable storage. I have 2 lightning ports on my Windows 10 editing computer and a 1GbE port. I will be filming in and exporting in DCI 4k video that is being filmed mostly at 160Mbps but will have some video that is 410Mbps. I have very limited knowledge when it comes to computers and especially NAS systems, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
