nas

Hi, I'm considering a custom DIY NAS build solution and would appreciate your help. My needs: storage for family photos and videos, more than 15 years worth of photos and videos (currently on different external devices, backed up but it is becoming a mess to keep track of everything and...

HI, My TS451a says Update ready but need to restart which we did. It took a long time 'Rebooting' and now I can't get to it at all. Connection timed out. I am not sure whether it actually updated or just restarted. QFinder lists it, but in Browser get a blue screen then taking too long...

Hi all, I'm thinking of getting a NAS (maybe the QNAP TS-653D) and using it as the surveillance station with 3 cameras. how much of an impact would it be on my 1Gbps network? Let's say I have 3 cameras recording video and I'm streaming a 4k movie stored on that NAS (not using the NAS as a plex...

Dear Community, We have Dell EMC2 NAS Storage. We have created shares oflders in it. When i try to copy data from one folder (xyz-share this folder contains many subfolders and files inside it ) to another(abc-share ) inside NAS it gives me error "Destination Path Too Long". I cannot rename...

Hi all, I'm thinking of buying a NAS to store my data of varying importance. What do you think of this strategy, I would buy a NAS with 5 bays for example. I would use 3 or 4 of the bays in a raid 5 configuration and when money allows I would put a large hardrive in the last bay and keep a...

Hi, i'm trying to decide between Synology DS920+ and DS1019+. the new 920 has a faster CPU but the 1019 has an extra drive bay. so I don't which is more important to me. It depends on what that extra CPU speed is generally used for. is a fast CPU on a nas used for video transcoding in...

I want to buy this PC I found on eBay to build a custom NAS. From my point of view, it has the bare minimum of what you need - 8gb RAM for FreeNas, 6 SATA connections on the MB (though two are only 3gb/s), 10/100/1000Mbps LAN speed, i3 processor (my understanding is that this is sufficient)...

I'm trying to build my own NAS for video editing. I won't be working with 4k footage - 2k at the most. The NAS will primarily be for archive but I want to have the option to edit off of it, if needed. I'm fairly certain that this will do the job but my biggest concern is the "networking" part...

Hi all! My question is two-fold... 1: I'm trying to find the cheapest way to store my raw editing footage (I'm expecting to have 10TB of footage, give or take) in an external enclosure. It seems that RAID arrays are quite expensive and too complicated for what I'm looking to do. Can I use an...

I have an old (excuse the dust) Intel Xeon E3-1275 CPU that is lying around and I want to use it in a NAS. The motherboard it came with is a server motherboard focused on networking and it only has 4 SATA ports, 2 USB ports and a lot of RJ45 ports (~10). I want to buy a motherboard that is...

Hardware: RT-AC1900P WD My Passport 25E2 (USB 3.0) Laptop (running Windows 10 Personal) In order to be able to write to the USB drive while it's plugged into the router, it has to be formatted by the router, which renders the directory invisible to windows if connected directly to the PC via...

Just purchased an Ironwolf 6TB (ST6000VN0033) for my Windows machine, as I got tired of hard drives dying on me. Did my research and apparently I can use NAS drives for Windows - all good. I get into Windows, I try to initialise it, but it says "The request could not be performed because of an...

So a few years back i installed a netgear router (nighthawk 7500) for my fathers business. They recently added a new office space that's just out of reach of the netgears wifi range. So in order to provide better internet for the entire office and downstairs housing i installed a TP-LInk Whole...

I have a Dell Inspiron 570 that is no longer in use because I recently built a PC. I use a WD My Book Live as a NAS in my home network. I want to replace it with a newer NAS setup because although it is functioning perfectly, it is close to 9 years old. I'm wondering if I should buy a Synology...

I'm looking for a little advice on the best way to setup and "layer" what I'm trying to do with some of my networked components. I've got a rack that I've built a rack-mount Windows 10 PC into, mid-level i5 Intel CPU with a half dozen drives attached and connects to a KVM for...

Hi Folks, Looking for a 2-drive NAS preferably with fire/water protection and ability to back up to 3rd party cloud storage like OneDrive. Any suggestions? Found the ioSafe 218 NAS (https://iosafe.com/products/218-nas/ ). I'm thinking since this uses Synology’s OS it may be possible to use its...

Are there any options for a NAS software that works with Windows 10? I know the NAS software NextCloud is popular, but it only works with Ubuntu Linux.

I've tried connecting the Synology through the Synology Assistant, and find.synology.com. Neither one can find it. The status light is blinking orange as well, but I cannot get into the WebGUI to see what is specifically wrong. I have swapped out ethernet cables, I have plugged it into the...

Can anybody recommend a NAS with a non-proprietary file system? Other parameters are almost irrelevant. Trying to convince me to use anything with a proprietary file system is like asking a victim of violent crime to walk down a dark alley. Thanks, Mike

I am looking for suggestions for storing video (around 10TB and growing). I use a Mac Pro with Final Cut Pro X. Not a pro -- just processing large quantities of sports footage. I had thought about buying a Thunderbolt 3 RAID but am hesitant for 2 reasons: 1) no great reviews of any until I...
