  Buying an older NAS
Posted by: Enquiries - 06-08-2024, 12:35 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

I am shopping for a NAS and I found a used Synology DS415+ on a bidding site. All I need is to back up files and pictures to migrate away from iCloud. Should this function temporarily while I save up for a newer Synology?

  Add NAS expansion drives to an existing NAS RAID5
Posted by: Enquiries - 06-06-2024, 07:35 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

I want to add a QNAP TL-D800C expansion enclosure to my existing QNAP TVS-h874-i7-32G NAS. My existing NAS is configured to only have one RAID and it's a RAID5. My question is this. Can I directly add the expansion drives in any way to be part of my existing NAS RAID5? The QNAP docs say the expansion enclosure has to have its own storage pool etc. which mans the enclosure must be its own storage area and RAID I assume. I want to add all of the new drives to my existing RAID. Can I do that and if so how? Thanks for your help.

  QNAP TS-1232XU with 32GB RAM
Posted by: Enquiries - 06-06-2024, 01:35 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (2)

Hello

I own a QNAP TS-1232XU NAS and according to the specification the maximum specification says 16GB RAM. The NAS has one slot and uses a DDR4 2400MHz PC4-19200 UDIMM 1.2V 288-pin.

I have seen youtube videos were you have done upgrades to QNAP NAS and would like to know if you believe it is possible to upgrade a TS-1232XU to 32GB RAM and what memory module manufacturers that could work?

Thanks
Regards

  First NAS
Posted by: Enquiries - 06-05-2024, 06:35 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

I am looing for my first ever NAS, to use as a mass storage that I can still access without having to fiddle around with external drives. I would prefer something that is off the shelv and has an easy interface. I have looked at the WD My cloud expert series ultra 2 and it looked quite good at first glance. Both in terms of value and software. I have only found old reviews though.
Is there something I should know about it beforehand, or do you know of something that has even better value?

Any and all suggestions are wellcome.

  Setting up Jelly fin collections
Posted by: Enquiries - 06-05-2024, 05:35 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

I am trying to set up collections of movies or TV shows that have seasons or episodes. For example, I am trying to organize Jessie Stone shows. There are 9 Jessie Stone shows and I would like to see one poster with the episodes displayed after I click on it. I read the Jellyfin help documents, but it doesn't seem to work for me. Can you help?

Thanks

  photo storage with link to Lightroom
Posted by: Enquiries - 06-05-2024, 10:00 AM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

hi, with a dead Drobo and lost images, I'm just wanting a simple backup with easy access from a laptop, desk computer, iPad, and phone, all Mac.

if the unit dies, Synology is proprietary like the Drobo. Can I pull Qnap disks out and plug them into a new Qnap successfully? Can I with Synology?

I'm leaning towards a two bay Qnap for its future proofing and ability to add additional storage, a TS 264 for instance.

I could put music on there too, free up space on my laptop, and save on an upgraded laptop. 500 GB vs 1 TB which is also part of the equation.

thanks in advance, Frank... ASUS modem.

  SSD compatibility with QNAP TVS H674
Posted by: Enquiries - 06-05-2024, 07:35 AM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Hi there - I am looking to setup a Snap TVS H674 NAS initially with 4 x 8Tb Samsung Sata SSD 870 QVO drives. I know very little about the compatibility of SSD's with NAS devices and was wondering if the above combination would work. When populating a NAS with SATA SSD's is it the same setup process etc as it would be with spinning drives.

Apologies for asking such basic questions here - very much appreciate your help and support.

Cheers,

Mike I win
