  Expanding Storage Solutions for Hosting Content for clients (large video as well)
Posted by: Enquiries - 10-19-2023, 06:00 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Hey Guys! I cannot believe how many countless hours I have spend researching into storage solutions for my small business and can't seem to decide on the best solution. With your wealth of knowledge I would love any & all insight you could provide. Here's what I am up against-

Currently, I store client content virtually on iCloud Drive for easy access to photos or short videos for clients to create marketing/social content.

Additionally, I have a client whom we shoot a podcast for & are aiming to sell space for tv where our recording -3camera 4k set up becomes extensive in the storage realm.

With these in mind, my 40tb (2x 20tb) external HDD aren't cutting it. Too much valuable information & content to risk. Also, the iCloud Drive solution works perfect for my business minus 1 flaw- iCloud doesn't share tags which makes it difficult to work on things together with an employee or contractor making organizing more difficult (also protecting the client data *redundancy)

  NAS Comparison
Posted by: Enquiries - 10-18-2023, 04:00 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Hello,

I'm rather new in the IT world and have little experience with NAS unfortunately.
In the company I work, I found 3 NASs we do non currently use and wondered which one would be the best to host 10TB of space for videos, photos and similar media. The marketing department needs to access them frequently.
These are devices I have:
WD DS414j
D-LINK DNS-323
NETGEAR - READYNAS DUO RND2000 V2

I kindly await your reply
Thank you

  NAS consulting
Posted by: Enquiries - 10-17-2023, 03:00 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Hi there,
I have been following your videos of Youtube to install and do configuration with anything related to the two NAS we have at the office.

We had our first NAS only for a year and everything worked fine. However, we started having a lot of problems since I installed the second NAS, and since it can get pretty technical, I believe I didn't set the proper configurations for the second NAS. I get issues all the time with IP conglict, and I can't manage to donwload a VPN configuration that can work for any of the NAS.

Would you be able to give me some consultation about it?

Thank you in advance,
Julia

  Physical Theft NAS Protection?
Posted by: Enquiries - 10-16-2023, 05:00 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Hey NAS Compares. I have 3 NAS systems... 2 Synology and 1 UNRAID.

I'm looking to set up 1 of the Synology NAS as an offsite backup solution for my main Synology NAS.

How do yall go about physically protecting the NAS(s) from a $5 wrench attack? Should all 3 NAS be encrypted? Basically how do I protect the data on my NAS(s) from someone physically stealing it?

As of now I'm encrypting the Hyper Backup to the remote NAS.

Cheers,
Normal Dude

  NAS for video storage
Posted by: Enquiries - 10-16-2023, 04:30 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Hello,
my friend czech youtuber David Kubrt, need storage for his videos and he wants something in his home, because he has slow internet connection. I do for him some IT things, so he asked me for some solution. We are looking on QNAP TS-873A-8G and 8x WD Gold 20 TB HDDs, maybe some RAM upgrade, M.2 SSD cache I don't think it is necessary ?

What is your recommendation ? And what RAID do you recommend 5 or 6 ?

Thanks for your help

Best regards,
Marek Ulbrich

Hi, would you have a recomendation for a mbl sim router sub £200. I am on a steel boat so would most likely need the option of an external antenna connection. Its needed for general internet access, gaming / streaming to smart tv.
I am curently on a 3 service and router with external antenna and struggling with buffering etc
Any advice would be much appreciated.
