Now that QNAP has removed Plex from its HD Station, what is the point of HDMI output now? Even QNAP said that including "HDMI out" on it's Plex page was misleading.

Hi Thank you for providing this services. This is my first time being in contact with you.
I have an arhcitecture firm i started 5 years ago.
I started off with DS223J 2 Bay. This had a fault so i upgrade about a year ago to DS224+
i have this nas synced with a second nas at my house for backup.
in both nas i have 2 8tb hard drives.
the one in the office (DS224+) is almost full.
should i upgrade to a larger nas or buy an extension pack?
i have seen a few extension packs.
i noticed one is a 5 bay. how does this work with raid set up.

Please please could I get some help. After watching your YouTube for the last 6 months I finally managed to purchase a motherboard and cpu combo. After realising I can't afford the rest I quit and sent it back for a full refund.
All I wanted is nextcloud and I have realised this might be possible just using a hdd attached to my asus RT-AC88U router. I've managed to set everything up as its meant to be except the free url of https://user.asuscomm.com points to aicloud by asus(absolutely garbage to use). When I try signing up to nextcloud with this url it just keeps failing. I'm guessing I need to somehow stop my url from opening aicloud and point it to my storage location.
I'm baffled how to do this I'm hoping it's a simple setting in my router or portforward or something. I contacted nextcloud about this and the just sent back a link for a paid service which I can't afford and there's no guarantee I'll get sorted so I'm stuck. Any help would be much appreciated please and thank you

Thanks for the valuable videos you post. Can someone connect their devices (PC, mobile, tablet etc) to home NAS off the internet while using Triband wifi/Bluetooth instead of switch board?

Hello!

Looking for any suggestions for 4TB NVME SSDs to use with my DXP480T. I've never had an SSD based NAS, so I'm not sure how long or how prone these SSDs will be to failure being used in a NAS.

Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated!


Thank you,

I currently use a DS411 NAS and have been very satisfied over the years. I would like to upgrade my current configuration for 4x4TB SATA drives by doubling its capacity. I use the NAS to store my photos (photography is a hobby), music, movies, personal information. I would also like to use PLEX on this new NAS for my movies at home. Reading your article is see that the DS423+ may have some future proof limitations and wondering if either I should wait a little longer hoping that Synology will upgrade their hardware in a new release or are there other NAS options out there. I should add that I also have a QNAP 2 BAY 231 that I only use for backup of the DS411. Thank you in advance for your help on this matter. Ron

Hi,
I just bought a DS1823xs+ together with 5 WD Red Pro 14TB Drives.
DSM installation is not working :-(
Is there any trick, or do I have to buy other/compatible drives?

Thanks in advance, KH

Hi,
I am looking for a NAS for last two years to replace my HP MicroServer Gen7 with OMV (Docker installed with PLEX,Jellfin and Homeassistant) but could not able to decide which one can solve my requirements.
With NAS, I want to start to backup my photos and videos and share with my family. while as hobby I like to create VWs and try out new solutions like linux distros, hacintosh etc, to see what new.
My confusions;
- Do I need 2 bay or 4-5 bay solution? (Maybe I can get more powerful 2-bay NAS for 4-Bay price)
- After read your reviews and watching your videos, I start think to go to Synology or QNAP solutions while my understanding that software is more critical. But mainly those solution has 4 or 8 gb rams and this confuses me. As an example I want to create a VM with 8 gb and the NAS already have 4 GB. Also if I create multiple VMs what will happen.
- Also local file-server...
-Currently looking ds923+, TS-673 and new UGREEN.
Could you please help me?
Best regards,
Özay ÖZCAN
