Dear Bob, I need help. NAS setup

well - Synology has removed the DS1821+ from their website, so I cannot tell you what is the largest supported drive. On the current models - DS1823xs+ and DS1825+, they are only officially supporting Synology drives, not Seagate or Western Digital or Toshiba. There were some drives that were suppor

Setting up a NAS - Who to Hire?

you are not doing anything with a 4 drive NAS. the suggestion below of the 1821+ is a good suggestion if the DS1821+ was still being made, but today it's the DS1825+ or DS1823xs+. And for these models, you have to use Synology branded drives, which are double the price of a Seagate EXOS or Western D

TVS-h1688X price increase from US $3200 to OVER $5000?

so many people are SO out of touch with what is happening with technology today. This is not a "money grab" - the price of all electronic components has gone thru the roof. And the least of your worries is paying another $1800 for a TVS-h1688X. Have you seen the insane prices for SATA disk drives, S

UNAS 2 and UNAS Pro 8 Review is done. Need Your help!

I think one of the main differences between somebody looking at a Unifi NAS and somebody looking at a QNAP or Synology NAS is in what they want out of their NAS. Are they looking for storage, or are the looking for a home server? The QNAP, Synology, UGREEN, etc, cater to those that want one box on t

NAS Setup for video editing : Is the DS1825+ with DSM 7.3 safe for third-party drives now?

I'm aware of that and honestly I would've gone with QNAP TVS H1288x following your recommendations but it costs $4400 here, diskless VS $1600 USD for the Synology DS1825+

NAS-Empfehlungen und Frage

zu kaufen und gleich OEM Festplatten, RAM und M2 mitzukaufen Was ich für private Zwecke NICHT empfehlen würde, ist Synologyhardware zum NAS zu kaufen. Für Businesszwecke wegen des Supports und RMA-Prozessen vielleicht ja, aber für private Zwecke zahlt man doch erheblich mehr "für nichts". Festplatte

Decade-old Xpenology running DSM 6.2 gave up the ghost and I'm in a time crunch. What are my options?

Exactly. See comparison between UGREEN NASync DXP8800 Plus and DS1825+ here. You can use Xpenology on Aoostar NAS. Or on your own build/hardware. Whatever you choose. I would highly recommend ARC loader since it's modern, versatile and easy to use. Take a look at it's FAQ and you'll see. IMHO whatev

NAS for Small Editing Team with a quirk?

I wasn't sure if this was a QNAP forum, or the editors forum, when I got this notification. No matter what I say - I wind up insulting someone - perhaps I will wind up insulting you. This is the editors forum. It is for professional editors. Professional editors are not using iPhones and GoPro camer

Good gifts for a plex hobbyist?

How flexible? Because if they don't have a NAS yet, it is a game changer. I would recommend a Synology DS1825+ for a beginner.
