Hi I'mthinking to get a nas mainly for my Plex media server but also for backup and storing some shared files for personal projects like a cg short
I am considering these two but I’d be open to others brands too
What would you suggest as better cost/efficiency product

Thanks

I have multipe HDD to move pictures and videos into one area. Love the videos

Hello !
I would like to build a NAS to store everything I could imagine for a while on it.
I will also have a big part of it dedicated to business needs, as well as some part of it for personnal plex usage that could transcode ~3 4k streams to 1080p.

I've never build a NAS, but I'm a developer so I don't mind the learning, as I already manage my own servers (bare metal, OVH) and such.

I would like to have at least 80TB storage space; I was thinking about 12x 12TB in RAID 6 of IronWolf PRO Nas disks. Having 2 or 3 nvme to have a fast cache seems like an excellent idea. One of them will probably be used as OS as well ?

By looking to your video that describes the best NAS for Plex, which is my requirement that needs the most power, I though of the following 2 components:
1) MB+ CPU : ERYING-Kit 14900HX https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005007445741820.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.0.0.7f4asIo5sIo5Pu&mp=1&gatewayAdapt=glo2fra
2) Case: Jonsbo N5 NAS;https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005007724666260

I'm looking for a way to backup the following devices (or data on devices) to a QNAP NAS:

• Mac OSX box
  
• Windows box
  
• Linux box
  
• iOS devices
  
• Android devices
  

Looking at buying the QNAP HS-264.  I want to place it in an area where hardwiring will not be possible. Is it very complicated to add wifi to it?  If not, would you recommend a direct wifi dongle or a mini wifi router with ethernet out?   I understand the wifi will impact it's speed but for it's application, this won't be an issue.

First up I love the reviews! I am looking for something to store video files for my media library. I want something with NVME drives (up to 4) and 10Gbe. I can't seem to find anything that is "just right".

I would have been happy for the moment to have something that would just enable a portable SSD to connect to my network, but I have a UniFi DMSE with no USB port. Is there something that you could suggest?

Hey guys, I have a Synology DS918. I replaced a 10TB drive with an 18TB drive using the instructions on your site. I ran the Degraded process and let it run over night. Everything looked to go well. The drive shows on my DiscStation and shows as healthy. I now see 16.4 (the new one), 9.1, and two 18.2 drives. I replaced two 10TB drives with 20TB drives using this process before (the two 18.2s) with no issues. My system is still only showing 34.9TB though. I am not seeing the increase in space though. I restarted the Synology, but its still showing me 34.9TB. The new drive is a ST18000NT001-3NF101. Did I miss something? Always appreciate your help, thanks!

Important part is to be able to structure the photos, so that I can have groups of albums shared differently between different user (e,g. people in different parts of the family). I would like to be able to provide access and send a link to a folder of albums, rather than having to do each folder individually.

Hi

Can I attach a 3rd party DAS to the Ugreen DXP6800 Pro using TB3?

Thx

I bought a DXP 4800 by mistake I meant to get a 4800 plus initially, my server cannot handle 4K content remotely and am wondering if there is a way to plug in an external GPU to have the ability to have hardware transcoding? Otherwise I was going to look into the 6800 PRO as an upgrade, any help would
Be appreciated.
