woohoo!

Even with the push for "branded drives" in a Synology, I'd be moving that way if I were you. I have a Synology 5-Bay DiskStation DS1525+ (Diskless) that I got off Amazon for $699 (Now $799) back in July of 2024. I populated it with 16Tb Ironwolf drives. Never been happier. I migrated all my Drobo 5S

Best solution to my storage needs.

Pulled this from a chat gpt response of what you said above... The simplest “best fit” build for your numbers 4 bay NAS + 4 x 10TB or 4 x 12TB drives in RAID5 (or Synology SHR). • 4 x 10TB in RAID5 gives about 27TB usable • 4 x 12TB in RAID5 gives about 33TB usable That lands right in your 20 to 24T

Editing off UGreen dxp4800 Plus

Try and report back! I sometimes edit off a Synology DS1525+ over 2.5GBe and it's passable.

Adding Storage to a future UniFi Setup

I prefer my Synology NAS. I map drives on Windows and use with regular explorer or save windows... Yup, setup VPN on the Gateway, then from a pc vpn into your network. If you link your gateway to your Ubiquiti account, you can see it on the Unifi app. From there you can see you your ip address if it

Australia - Availability 2025 Update?

Yep. “Sold Out” because its never been in stock or sold in Australia I waited about 6 months for this one, but had to make a choice. I went with a less featured but solid Synology DS1525+. Setup was trivial and the DSM software is incredible.

Preciso comprar/montar um NAS... sugestões?

Synology é muito bom, porém irá ter que formatar seus Hds para formato específico, assim como qualquer outro nas. O custo de energia e a segurança valem a pena, mas para 6 Hds, tem um custo razoável..tendo o valor vai de Synology. Existe o xpnology porém para ser confiável o hardware deve ser razoáv

NAS for Home Theater Media Question

I moved from plex and other tings running on an old windows pc to a synology ds1821+. If I had it to do again I'd do the same.
