I’m searching for a NAS where I can store my 4k video files and also edit from. I already looked into the QNAP TVS-871 and the Lumaforge Jellyfish mobile, but I have no experience or knowledge in this field. So maybe you could help me a little bit. The best would be a 20-30TB storage […]

At this stage, I’m thinking a 2-bay NAS would work and I’m tossing up between the Synology DS218+ and QNAP TS-251A but would like to get your advice on which you think would be more suitable, either out of these or other Synology/QNAPs. Below are the things I want the NAS for: – backup 2 […]

I currently have a Synology DS214. I plan to upgrade to something much, much more current. My plan is to use the NAS for: (1) easy backup solution to NAS and once more to Amazon or another online; (2) transcoding–perhaps using Plex once I can figure out how to make it work; (3) music server […]
I use a Qnap TS-453 Pro (4-bay) as a primary workplace in a small firm. We use external (outside office) backup, but the recovery process is kind of cumbersome and time consuming. Thus, we want an additional internal (in-office) backup of our current NAS, and I am thinking about buying the Qnap TS-128 for this […]
