I am following your Jonsbo N3 build video hoping to run TrueNAS.

Q: ERYING i9-13900HK 14C20T DDR5 say RAID not supported. Is this a problem.

Q: If no RAID is an issue then should I get i9-12900H 14C20T DDR4 which does support RAID? Bonus I have 2 x 8gb DD4 not in use.

Q: Should I just get UGREEN NASync DXP6800 Pro 6-Bay and hope TrueNAS will work OK?

The Build list so far:
- Undecided CPU MB bundle
- X540-T2 Intel Chipset PCIe x8 Dual Copper RJ45 10Gbps Port Ethernet Network Card PCIE-X8 X16
- M2 to SATA Adapter M.2 NGFF NVME to SATA3.0 Expansion Card B+M Key M-Key to 5/6 Ports SATA3.0 6Gbps Controller Riser for HDD SSD
- Thermalright SI-100 CPU Air Cooler, 6×6mm Heat Pipes, TL-E12 PWM Quiet Fan CPU Cooler with S-FDB V2.0 Bearing
- Gaming 600W Power Supply PC PSU, 80 Plus Bronze Certified,APFC Switching Power Supply
- CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 5200MHz CL40 Intel XMP iCUE
- SATA-III Cable-0.5M, 6Pcs/Set-6Gbps-Sata HDD-SSD Data-Cable

Thank you for your help.

Hello, ive watched most of the videos on this channel and I pulled the trigger on my first ever NAS, it is not due to deliver until 30th April so I can cancel the order today and hopefully tomorrow without penalty.

I was choosing between the Asustor Flashtor 6 and the QNAP TS 264 8G

I pulled the trigger on the QNAP, it is 2 NVME and 2 HDD with N5095 CPU and 8GB RAM. I bought 1 Samsung nvme 970 pro plus 2TB. I had planned to buy another few HDD later once I understand a NAS more.

My future uses are currently unknown as I planned to discover them based on the capabilities or cool things I learn when using my NAS. 

The main driver to look at NAS was iCloud wanting to move me from 2.99 a month to 9.99 for storage. Its just a principle thing, so I want to create my own alternative to iCloud for me and my wife. I am also interested in future to add one or two security cameras to my home without a subscription. I may use it to host a game server in the future for a small handful of people if that is possible. I will also give PLEX a go as currently I push files to apple TV via VLC so I think there might be a better media center than this. 

The main reason I have remorse now is that I just watched the latest video: if the QNAP 464 after 2 years is still good and it sounds like many are moving away from Celeron or Pentium now but the QNAP I bought still has the quad-core Celeron.

The main uses will be personal, and many future uses might be unknown, I'm not very experienced or deep from a technical perspective on networking or storage, etc but I have the curiosity to learn, to a certain level but nothing too extreme.

Ideally, I would like to know if there is a similar priced option out there with a much better CPU
Ideally, I would like as secure and easy to use software as possible that doesn't require deep technical knowledge and be able to at least expose my iCloud alternative (whatever that might be) to the internet for my iphones

Thank in advance

I have a lockerstore 6 and I have installed Looksgood on the Nas. Now i have asamsung tv and when I use UPnP2 app, I am able to get my files on samsung tv sourses area and browse my files there. But how do I get the looksgood to stream to my TV so I can watch a series, stored on my Nas and added to looksgood, from my tv?

So as you know about the UGREEN NAS line up, i like the features of NXP6800 and NXP8800, but i am going to use this for my home, and for family storage and everyones device (15 devices in total including phones and laptops) back up as well and also as extended storage on network. also i do photography and i shoot RAW. So i want to know if i should go for 8 or 6 Bay as 8 i feel is too big. and if which raid and storage capacity (HDD) i should go for. Please Help me out!!!!

Hi. I am about to setup my qnap ts-855x and I see QNAP are saying this for their ZFS system.. does it really work like tiered storage?

Hi all! I have been going back and forth on which NAS device I want to purchase and just can't seem to make up my mind. I'm tossed between the TerraMaster F2-212 and the Asustor Drivestor 2 AS1102T. I run Linux on my 2 machines and my partner uses a Mac mini. I'm also kind of wondering about the F2-210, because of its solid build. I'm only using it as a backup, no server apps will be used.
I see that the Terra Master distinctly mentioned that it supports Linux, but does that matter in my case?
What can you add to help me choose? I've been going back and forth for a week now and still can't decide. Thank you so much for any help you can give! Kyle

Western digital will be releasing a 4TB Sd card in 2025, you can Google this…

My question, could you or would it be possible to populate a NAS with some sort of adapter with these SD cards?

What would the performance be like in a RAID

The price point may be cheaper than 4TB NVME drives… When compared to HDD’s there would be less noise, heat , power consumption.

I may be be completely of my rocker and this is the dumbest question…

Just finished watching the review of the 24TB Seagate and thought of this..

Hi,

I plan to buy my first NAS to replace my expiring WD My Cloud. It will mostly be used to centralize and back up all our media from our different devices. I think I will go with the QNAP TS-233. You made a great review of this one, and the AI for photos looks attractive to me, and the fact that they are powerful enough to be used as a Plex server is a plus for me.

I have two questions: Is it worth the extra money to wait and get the new TS-216G? Secondly, for the same performance with Synology, it seems I need to go with the DS224+, which is twice the price. Is their software really that much better? As my first NAS, I really look for simplicity. Will QNAP do the job, or should I really put more importance on the software and then go with Synology?

Thanks for your advice.

Hi!

i have watched a lot of your videos and you have done one about google photos, but there has not been one to completely migrate from GPhotos. I have scoured the internet and found a couple of things but without a full fledged solution, i have even paid for a service and got nowhere!
the main issue lies with Google's terrible way of extracting the metadata and exif data from the picture and when performing a GTakeout, it puts everything in a JSON file. Now i have used https://metadatafixer.com/, tried and failed with https://gilesknap.github.io/gphotos-sync/main/tutorials/installation.html , and a couple others. is there something that you can do and see for a good solution that you would recommend and make a video about?

anyway, let me know what you think...

Home server is currently in read-only mode and possibly dying :-( Synology 416Play with 8Gb RAM and is looking like it might need an upgrade.
Usage is currently for personal photo/music/data storage and GDrive Sync. Video Editing/Work archive and also running Docker with sonarr/radarr/jaket etc.
Very happy building/config my own and thinking it might be time to move into the TrueNasScale ZFS world.
Have a pi running Kodi for media playing, so not looking for Plex. but it will live in the living room, so should be quiet. Would love to start moving to a 10Gb option (but would mean an upgraded switch).
Very open to options!
