I’m looking for a field NAS solution where I can hook up multiple “Ingress Stations” (2-3 MacBook Pros running Thunderbolt 3 -> 10GBE Adapters) via a 10GBE switch. Speeds are extremely important, looking for approx 500mb/s read/write. Needs to be a solution that is fairly durable and can be transported in the field – similar […]
I am using an Amazon fire stick with Kodi on it to watch movies on my netgear wndr4700. This has been working great, I’m able to drag and drop files via file explorer from either my win 10 or win 7 machine, and can watch everything on my TV. My wndr no longer seems to […]
I would like to enquire for a NAS server drive that will be capatible to handle 12 video editors to edit directally of the NAS server simultaneously. The read and write speed for each editor preferably over 100MBps. So I am assuming 10Gb ethernet. Is there such a solution available? You will need to […]

Today I own a Synology Ds211j and a Mac Mini mod 2010. The Synology I use for Surveillance Station and a small number of backup files. The Mac Mini I use for a Logitech Media Server for a Squeezebox Radio and for Plex. It seems to me that I need to replace both of these […]
I am looking for a recommendation on a NAS drive with HDMI output, I don’t need more than 2 bays really, but probably a minimum of 4 and ideally 6 terabytes of storage in RAID1 set up. Unconventionally, I am looking at setting this up near my TV to play 4K content direct via HDMI […]
I have really appreciated all of the information that you have posted on this site – it is very helpful. I am looking to perhaps set up a NAS environment within my home. I use 3 Windows 10 PC’s (and phasing out Windows 7), various iphones, ipads, and android tablets, as well as apple TV […]
The 1282 looks like a solid option. I would go for it as I like the features but I really want 12 bays to maximise storage and not have to upgrade in the near future. It’s frustrating that with so many NASes to chose from it’s almost impossible to find a NAS that has all […]

A quiet rackmount Qnap NAS? I use my QNAP TS-253Be exclusively for audio files (.wav, .dsf, etc.), but wish to move to a rackmount form factor. The TS-253Be is plenty quiet enough for my purposes—I can’t hear the fan unless I’m closer than 18 inches, and clients sit about 10 feet away. Is there a […]

NAS that works with Grabcad Workbench I’m looking for a storage server that can automatically update the files on my cloud account at Grabcad Workbench. Workbench is a service that’s well integrated with Solidworks and gives me the ability to restore older versions of each file, very useful with several people working on same project. […]
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. The synology looks great especially with the ability to expand. It’s a bit pricey but fits my needs perfectly. The hardware sounds great too. I watched your video on the native synology DS video app and it looks like a viable alternative to Plex. Could I […]

MAC Based/Video Editors on Adobe Premiere We have 4 mac’s that we run Adobe Premiere on and we are looking for a simple NAS solution. We are on a corporate network so the iMac’s (2) would need Thunderbolt 3 connectivity somehow. I assume there is a converter from 10gb ethernet to T3? The other 2 […]

However now the requirements here raise (especially PHP version at 7.x) which is not possible to generally update to a newer version and QNAP does not provide any general update […]
