Hello everyone, I’m looking for some advice on improving remote access speeds to my Synology NAS 220+. It’s set up at my home, and I’m trying to connect to it from outside with good speed. However, I don’t have a static IP, so direct connection isn’t an option. I’ve explored several solutions...

Hi all, is there any issues for a NAS hardrive if you use it in a desktop? Not in terms of performance, but in terms of the longevity of the drive. will it break sooner if you use it this way since the desktop will get turned off and on? I want to buy a large drive as backup and put it in my...

With WOW, I can keep NAS sleeping most of the time. Only when I need it, I will wake it up. After use, I will put it to sleep mode. The hard drive do not need to work 24/7. A normal Seagate Barracuda may live longer than an Ironwolf. Is it a good way to use a NAS? Any advice. Thanks.

So i read about this doomsday scenario where not having ECC-capable hardware might lead to corruption that could delete the whole storage pool especially with ZFS. I wonder, when i have an external HDD where i automatically backup all my important files from the NAS weekly do i risk infecting...

Hi all, take a look at this video that talks about why 8TB NAS drives are a standard. If you don't feel like watching it, no problem. The first reason is that hardrives that are 10TB or bigger use a technology that is very loud. I have a 14TB Ironwolf and 14TB Ironwolf Pro and it is pretty...
