I'm looking to buy my first NAS and would appreciate your expert advice. My primary goals are:

- Reliable data backup
- Plex media server data source
- Potential Docker and VM hosting
- Strong focus on data protection

I'm planning to start with two 12TB drives and potentially expand later.
I already have an N100 mini PC for Plex transcoding, so I'm mainly seeking a robust storage solution.

Which NAS operating systems is the most reliable ?(Quts hero, TrueNAS, Synology BTRFS).

Could you recommend a turnkey NAS with ECC memory around £1000 (budget includes 2x12TB drive)?

If budget is too small, i would also accept recommendations under £1500.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I am trying to figure out the container station to install a docker container for immich. I am missing something, but do you have plans to make a tutorial about container stations and how to use them to install Docker apps or whatever they are called?

Same issue...


A quick thought / question:

Does Plex (or the Terramaster NAS) require media folders to have specific names or folder hierarchies?

I tried to create a shared folder called "Music" which is also the default Plex library name for music media files, but this had the same issue - the library is always empty even though it is pointing to the NAS folders that contain the music files.

It is not clear which NAS user account Plex Media Server uses, which might be a reason why the NAS shared folders are not being "read" by the Plex library. There seems to be a "hidden" user called "plex", which does not appear as a NAS user or a member of any group in the NAS GUI, but is shown as the owner of the "Plex" shared folder.

Information on how Plex works on a NAS seems to be very patchy....I've watched several YT videos on "how to set up Plex on a NAS" (including those for TerraMaster) an

Hello,

I bought my current NAS from you guys (SPAN.COM) back in late 2019. I’m looking to buy a new system but don’t like the fact that Synology have removed DS Video. I know i can use other options like Plex, Emby or Jellyfin but i don’t really like them and that’s why i have stuck with Synology for the last 12 years.

I also don’t like that accessing my media requires additional costs with Plex/Emby. I know i can put back DS Video after DSM 7.2.2 upgrade but how long will that last moving forward.

I just want an out of the box NAS system that provides me with the tool set to stream my media to all my friends and family without the need for 3rd party applications mentioned above.

Maybe QNAP would be the way to go but i would like to get your thoughts, help and guidance on the subject before i move forward and drop Synology.

Many thanks,

Chris

I have a qnap ts464 in my house and just got a ts262. I placed the 262 in my friends house and want to set up HBS3 to backup my home NAS (the 464) to the ts262. I enabled RTRR and tried using the public IP addres but it would not connect. Any ideas?

Hello, I have a question about Pi-Hole, there are many videos on YouTube, but it is not really clear. Especially because Pi-Hole has been further developed and some things do not match the latest version. Could you please pay attention to this, because I am going crazy with all the advertisements and trackers.
Especially in the world we live in now, security has really become an important thing every day!!!

Best of regards. Peter Scholte

Still a QNAP Fan ;-)

Hi
Further to your previous mail. I cannot rebuild raid. All it talks about is storage pool. If I try to repair with 3 discs in my 4 bay ds 920 + it just says I need to add drive 4 to repair degraded storage pool
I want to get back to situation where I have 3 drives in storage pool and 1 hot spare.
I have dsm 7.2
I am a beginner.
I dont want to start from scratch as I would lose all my settings.
Thanks in anticipation

Hi there, 

Is there any NAS or other media server that can stream between 15 and 20 movie at 1080Pp resolution simultaneous? 

   I want to stream (to 15-20 clients, on tv, PC, mobile ) in local network, with connection between nas and router on 2.5gbps or 10Gbps port.

the router will be Asus ROG GT-BE98.


Thanks in advance for the answers.
