Upgrading from a ds918+ that worked fairly well for us, want to go with a rackmount solution. Not doing and NVR or much VM stuff, mostly do local file sharing and active backup for business for 10-15 computers.

Hi,

Love your vids. Have learned SOOO much since I discovered your website and YT channel.

I’m looking for my first nas. What I want to do with the nas:

1) replacement for OneDrive/Dropbox
2) replacement for Netflix/HBO (so setting up a Plex/Jellyfin)
3) replacement for Spotify
4) contacts/notes/ server

I want thinking about the F4-424 Pro.

I have 3x 4TB WD Purple HDD left from a NVR system I was using that I want to use in the nas. Also bought 2x WD black SN770 1TB NVME drive during Black Friday.

So my question is can I run the things mentioned and also will it run them all at the same time all the time?

PS not planing on doing anything else on the nas

I bought a qnap ts 664 nas with 16gb of ram... I bought some hdd wc reb 4tb but I realized that the nas was too slow to work because of the hdd.. so they advised me to buy other types of hdd 7200 rpm 256 cache and 6gb of memory.. now I would like some advice.. I looked at the list on the qnap site but there are too many hdd and I'm a bit confused for this myth I asked for advice. thanks

Hi
Quick question. Im'buying a terramaster F2-424 Nas for a small plex server to house all my old SD dvd's and I was wondering...

The specs say 8GB DDR5 4800MHz memory (non-ECC, upgradable up to 32GB),

Does upgradable mean I can use ANY brand of compatible RAM up to 32 or would it require Terremaster's own memory to achieve a full 32GB... ie limiting it to 16gb with off brand memory

Thanks mate!!

I use cloud storage for personal purposes only. I don't take professional photos or videos; I simply need a place to store my photos, videos, tax documents, and other random files. Currently, I've been using Dropbox for years, but I'm looking for more control over the privacy of my data. I don't keep any files locally on my phone or iPad, and I don’t own a personal computer. I don't have kids who would use up storage or have a massive digital library of content. Whenever I take photos, I immediately upload them to the cloud. Occasionally, I share old pictures with friends via text by sending links to my Dropbox. I have a 2TB storage plan on Dropbox, but I'm only using 58GB of it. I prefer not to use an external hard drive, even though I own one, because I dislike the hassle of plugging and unplugging it into my iPad to upload files.

What is the difference between the DS220+ and DS244+

I am planning (hopefully) on using Synology Migration Assistant to go from source DS415+ to destination DS423+. All my BTRFS source shares have "Data Checksum for Advanced Data Integrity" enabled except for "Homes". 

How can I get Advanced Data Integrity also enabled for the "Homes" share on the new destination NAS? Eg.

1. Does Migration Assistant allow for somehow adding that option or does it only copy settings exactly what is from the source?
   
2. Or must I somehow create on the DS423+ the "Homes" share with it enabled? How is that done? (because i tried when I first went from EXT3 to BTRFS a few years back but was unsuccessful only on "Homes" share)
   

Hi,
I am planning to move from the cloud to my own server. I have purchased a M4 Mac Mini to act as my home server and will probably run some services as a container or normally on it. Besides that I am looking for hosting local 4k plex streaming and maybe 1 or 2 remotely (mostly 1080p) plus a photo storage.
Now I was looking at 2-bays DAS/NAS to start with about 6TB or 8TB (maybe 2 4TBs) so I can take the most out of performance.
Now my concerns:
- I am not sure that since I am using a m4 Mac, I would need to spend money on a NAS and I can make due with a good DAS.
- This has also made the selection of disk form factor (nvme, HDD, SDD) a bit hard for me.

What is your opinion about DAS vs NAS for me and are you able to suggest any models?

Thank you.

I'm preparing to build a NAS/VM-server with future capability to expand or change components. I like it quiet and not too power hungry, while making use of sufficient CPU and expandable memory. In later stage I'll invest in additional Nvme's for caching read and write.

I'm thinking of these components:
Case Fractal Design Define R6 Black
Motherboard ASUS PRIME X670-P-CSM
CPU amd-ryzen-7-9700x-boxed
DDR5-ECC Memory 2x Kingston KSM48E40BD8KI-32HA
PSU Cooler Master MWE Gold 750 - V2 ATX 3.0
CPU-Cooler Noctua NH-D12L chromax.black
HDD's MDD - HGST DC HC510 10TB 7200RPM 256MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5in Enterprise Hard Drive - HUH721010ALE604 (Renewed)

Thanks for your advice

My Synology DS224+ is used as a Plex server - both drives are basic setup. I have noticed that the Toshiba N300 Pro products are not on Synology DS224+ Compatibility list but the Toshiba N300 products are. The pricing for Toshiba N300 Pro is very attractive in my area. Are there any concerns if I use the Toshiba N300 Pro series in the DS224+? Particularly I am thinking of using the 14TB size drive. Your video showed that drives not on the Compatibility List can work just as well. I appreciate your thoughts on this matter. Thank you.
