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 […]
Best 10GBE or 1 GBE Wifi Router I was wondering what the best router/network set is available for a Home Network? Video editing, Uncompressed Video streaming and Gaming are the three highest bandwidth activities I do. For Wifi, I don’t think I need a MESH router because my house is smaller and the bulk of […]

I watched your video on the best Synology models for Plex which answered my question. Less powerful units won’t be able to handle 4k even natively. I saw in another one of your videos you said the QNAP TS 877 is one of the best for Plex. The bigger one, the 1677, is a similar […]
Large Plex server to NAS recommendation Currently using two Drobo 5D units connected to an iMac (late 2012, 3.4 i7 quad core processor) via thunderbolt to run PLEX.

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 […]
Sorry but I’m lost : I can’t find the menu to set up offline transcoding to read movies on iPad and iPhone ?. Could you indicate me how to do ? See a list of currently transcoding video files 2. Right-click on the video file you want to offline transcode to a […]
4k streaming over a LAN to a 4k TV without transcoding I have the Samsung QF9 4k TV and this plays 4k material perfectly well from a USB stick via its USB2.0 ports. When I try to stream, without transcoding, the same 4k material from my Synology DS216se NAS (via a Zappiti Mini 4k HDR […]

How would the Asustor AS6302T compare to the QNAP TS253Be? The Asustor has the outputs that I want (HDMI 2.0 and S/PDIF), but I’m unsure about the rest of the hardware setup, including the CPU. In your opinion would the Asustor have the same speed and capacity as the QNAP? I may delay my decision […]
Transcoding or not. I am not sure whether transcoding is required for my aimed set up. I just bought a brand new Samsung Qled Smart TV series 9. So, the top at Samsung. I can play my 4K HDR mkv files on USB storage connected to my TV. I am very interested into having this […]

The newest version of DSM doesn’t recognize the cache. Is one part out of order or do I have a problem with compatibility? DS1817+ does not support NVMe drives, […]
This is what I want and can’t find: A JBOD enclosure to house all my orphaned, upgraded HDDs. I am not really looking for a RAID, just a box to power them all and provide a single connector and cable to my iMac. But I want the computer to see them all as separate drives, […]

There is no more space left on the drives to create volumes. You can start using and save data, there is no problem with that. […]
