Discuss: Where Are the Synology Play, DS421, DS422 and DS221? <br><iframe width='560' height='315' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/07AKbpBqXeQ' frameborder='0' allow='accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture' allowfullscreen></iframe>

I want a NAS, or something, that is hard wired to my computer and that I can easily upload/download files to without it being through my internet. Basically a server, where the home base of files are accessible on a computer at the ready and don't need to be downloaded to the computer to use them. And then all the normal nas features, but that's the main one. Is there a NAS that does this. I really do not want to have to learn how to use a server and do this, as I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to networking.

Thanks

Hi Robbie
I need some advice , by the way love your videos very interesting
I have the Synology 918+ 8gb Ram a few questions I would like your opinion on if I could, I basically use it just for running Plex , (lots of 4K content) , would I see much benefit from increasing the Ram to 16gb also wondering the same thing about the ssd cache is it worth it or not
The Main thing I need advice on is I need to increase my storage , while getting bigger drives is one option it is expensive here in Australia and then I have the spare hard drives of witch I already have 2 from my last upgrade
I was considering the expansion unit , but their is so many confusing options on getting it and then the people that say yes get it are divided and say never create 1 volume using the expansion unit if , it fails you lose you whole volume
Others say you should create a second volume
I’m looking for somebody’s option that I trust if there is another solution let me know perhaps utilising the USB slots
Also I read that you ship overseas and the cost might be surprising if you think the expansion unit is the best option please give me your best price shipped to Sydney Australia
Thanks

I bought a DS920+ and after watching a few videos, yours included, I bought the Kingston KCP426SS8/16 16 Gb SODIMM RAM that you listed on your site. I tried three times - It will not boot up with it installed. Power light stays blinking, and I do not get a POST beep or any other reaction. Is it possible that this has been changed in the BIOS that it won't accept any other memory but theirs? I'm going to be severely disappointed if that's the case. Hoping you've got some insight, or maybe something I missed. Thanks for the help!

Hello,

I'm from Indonesia and I'd like your help with me choosing a NAS.
Currently I already have WD MyCloud (not the Home edition) with 3TiB capacity. It is so old that I already fill 99% of it's available capacity. So now, I decided to buy NAS that can be, how to say it, upgraded, it's capacity. I choose WD Red to be filled with my future NAS.
I use my current NAS for mixed purpose, like streaming video, saving Office files, or backup. But mostly I use it to streaming video.
I actually already satisfied with my WD MyCloud. Whether it's user features or performance. Except for it's built-in capacity of course.
But if I can get a better transfer speed, it is better. Assumes I'm using capable switch or router to do it's maximum transfer speed.
For Plex, even if I could give it a try, but I don't mind not having it. I once try it with my WD My Passport Wireless Pro and it's unbelievably running at a snail's pace.
It would be very helpful if you can advise me NAS products from each manufacturer. I try to avoid Synlogy, QNAP, Thecus, and TerraMaster. But if it's prove to be better, then please.

Thank you.

I am interested in a feature comparison between the Synology Rs819 and the Rs820+ Is there really a difference between them besides price. I want to purchase one or the other but not sure which is actually better for in feature, benefits, and future proofing. Any assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

I am looking to get started in transitioning to a nas that supports apps to bring current cloud storage and activities in house. I do not have initial capital to purchase what I would like (Synology DS920+) or something equivalent. A system with 4 bays seems to be ideal but not sure I need to start there. Would purchasing a lesser system and then upgrading be viable (can disks be transferred from one Synology device to another or should I look into something like TerraMaster and make that work?

Hi,
first of all, I'm a regular viewer of your youtube content and learned a lot by watching your videos. Now, we're in the midst of replacing our venerable Win 2008 R2 server that served us well, and initially served as an ActiveDirectory DC, a file server and ESET NOD console, and a Autodesk Flexnet licensing server. We added a newer server 5 years ago that took over as the domain controller, and now, as we grew as a company, we have a much bigger need for file services than before. Up until now, users filled just below 300GB of data but now the projected usage should be around 80TB (I'm planning to setup client PC backups on it). So 8x 10TB drives should do (this is all overestimation!). I already use a DS214+ for server backups and it works flawlessly for its role. Should I just get a Synology RS1221RP+ and fill it with WDs and/or Ironwolves/Pro? Or should I consider something else? Thanks in advance.
