Hd station Hi. I have a qnap tas 168 And I can’t find the hybrid station I want Netflix on the station. When I do Netflix in android it stops and keeps buffering. The network should not be a problem with a LAN connection. So can you help me? You will indeed not find HD […]
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 […]

M2D18 with 970 EVO For my DS1817+ I bought an M2D18 Adapter Card and added 2*1TB EVO 970 nVme from Samsung (not officially supported by Synology). 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, […]
Nas or qnap. I am looking to have a doorbird system installed in our home and believe I need something to store the video on. I don’t know which would be ideal. And would like to use it to store system files that our four computers in the home can also access over the network. […]
NAS server for multimedia. I am looking for a home server to link to a mac 2012 late model and my extensive portfolio of iMovie home videos, iTunes music, and iTunes home films to display on a LG Smart TV currently, use Apple TV 4Generation [will not show iMovie films] so this is not efficient. […]
Warning : storage pool space has reached the alert threshold This is something very silly from a Qnap side. What it means is that “You have filled your cupboard with drawers”. 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. […]
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 […]
Hi, I have been operating a QNAP NAS TS-239 Pro II for several years for central storage (file server) and web development (PHP, MySQL, Joomla). 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 […]
I’m thinking about getting a NAS and am looking at comparing the PR4100, DS918+ and the new F5-421. Wondering which of these would be the best choice? I’m only going to be using it as a media server and backing it up to GDrive (something that all support). But I find the F5 particularly interesting […]

Are options outlined in attached image possible? If yes, which virtualization software is advised (VMware product, VirtualBox, or sth else)? Reason: Efficient utilization of HDD […]

I’ll use it mostly for streaming an extensive music library (about 10,000+ titles) and movies (about 100 titles). I’m leaning towards the Synology DS718+ or QNAP TS-253Be. I would like the fastest possible device for the money, with good 4k transcoding. I’m not sure if I need HDMI…maybe to be future proof I should include […]
Best raid setup for video editing. Starting out with 3 14tb internal drives on a store-made machine with an i9 processor and 64gb of ram; it was setup as raid 5 but I’m hearing that the likelihood of a second drive failing while you’re recovering from a first drive failing makes it likely the whole […]
