Dear Bob, I need help. NAS setup
well - Synology has removed the DS1821+ from their website, so I cannot tell you what is the largest supported drive. On the current models - DS1823xs+ and DS1825+, they are only officially supporting Synology drives, not Seagate or Western Digital or Toshiba. There were some drives that were suppor

Hard Drive Raids obsolete for most projects?
The $/GB still favors spinning disks. My Synology 1821+ with 10GigE, NVME cache drives and 100TB of spinning disks still gets 1000MB/s read & write speeds so I can edit uncompressed 4K video.

Migrating from PC to Mac, what to do about hard drive file system formats?
Do NOT use exfat for extended use on both systems. It is not journaled, and is therefore very easy to corrupt. I lost many terabytes during my Mac to PC switch by using exfat drives. I believe the only appropriate use for exfat is to write data once, read it once, and format the drive for the next u

NAS setup for small team, hybrid workflow
Good morning. Your "Synology rep" - really ? using an iSCSI LUN has nothing to do with remote editing. For your simple application - all you need to do is connect via the built in SMB network protocol, which is both on your Mac (and any office PC) and the Synology. To do professional video editing,

Hilfe und Meinungen zu NAS Setup
Ich hab hier ein Synology DS1817+ und ein DS1821+, also eines aus dem Jahre 2017, das andere von 21. Beide erledigen als Datengrab und zum Streamen Ihren Zweck. Nur mal so zum Einschätzen, synology hat den Nachfolger des DS1821+ nahezu unverändert gelassen, der einzige Unterschied sind die Netzwerkp

Synology + immich + BIG Archive = I am impressed!
Only if you also use Synology photos like OP mentioned. I used to run on dedicated box, but have moved it back to my Synology DS1821+ since remote ML works so well that the 1821+ can handle everything else and has most of my storage. It took me hours to figure out how to fix this with targeted SQL q

NAS for Small Editing Team with a quirk?
I wasn't sure if this was a QNAP forum, or the editors forum, when I got this notification. No matter what I say - I wind up insulting someone - perhaps I will wind up insulting you. This is the editors forum. It is for professional editors. Professional editors are not using iPhones and GoPro camer

إستفسارات وتساؤلات مستأجر يفكر بالتملك بعد ١١ سنة إيجار
ما شاء الله، خبرتك في الـ "Arr Stack" من 2015 تجعل نصف المشوار منتهياً، لأن التحدي الأكبر عادةً هو ضبط الأتمتة، وأنت تتقنها. التحول من Seedbox سحابي إلى Home Lab محلي ممتع جداً، لكنه يحتاج "تكتيك" مختلف، خاصة أنك تبحث عن جودة الـ Remux (بت ريت +70 Mbps) وتريد راحة البال. إليك خارطة الطريق بناءً على ميزا

What NAS are you all using?
Synology DS1821+, 32GB memory, 10GBe card and 8 x 18TB WD Red Pro HDDs. Run dozens of Docker containers on it and haven't felt the need for anything more powerful yet. Worth noting, no transcoding is done.

Looking for NAS Recommendations
What are you doing to those poor NAS's? I still use my 13yo DS413j for TimeMachine backups alongside my DS1817 (8yo) and DS1821+ (4yo) which are my primary storage and mirror. The two newer machines have been maxed out with RAM and 10GB cards and the DS1821+ has two M.2 cache drives. They have been
