Hi. Love the site and the info.
But really confused with too much info
Ok I have a NAS - 2nd hard bargain - I am new to the NAS wordl
Qnap TP-469 Pro
It came with some drives, but they are WD and one has failed already.
So things I would like to do.
Use for NAS - Working with windows - get my user profile , either running off the NAS or for it to transfer it back and forth at login.
Use the NAS as a small webserver / email store and possible setup a mail server
For backups of my win computer.
I am still unsure the best way to setup up the NAS , in jbod / raid 5 or 6 .. or see the benefits.
Raid isnt a backup solution, but dont want to loose data.
Upgrade the memory to 3GB
Get 4 new hardrives and setup 4tb / 6tb - at good prices.
Possible SSD cache drive etc
But I am completely lost . Could you just give me your opinion and places to purchase these upgrades.
Thank you
Nick
