So, I’ve installed the QM2-2S card and Crucial SSD’s and I am wondering what I have to do next? Find cache settings under Storage & Snapshots. Then click on Cache Acceleration. It is a very simple process. Just follow the Qnap wizard and it can be set up in seconds. Also, keep in mind […]
I seek to set up a mutual off-site sync arrangement between my home and my son’s home in another city. We both use Apple gear mostly, but looking at QNAP/Drobo level equipment. We have no NAS now. Primary data to sync would be Apple TimeMachine backups (which are internally peculiar and may make incremental transfer […]
Greetings, I have been a fan of your for a while on YouTube which lead me to buy the Synology 1817+, got a couple of Seagate Iron Wolf PRO 10TB each, and when you praised the M2D18 I got that as well, trying to be smart I got the WD Black 1TBGB High-Performance NVMe PCIe […]
NVME nas Are there any NAS’s that use nvme ssd’s instead of the the usual sata interface? I realize nvme are far faster than any ethernet or wifi can support butI have a few nvme sitting around that aren’t be used right now. I saw that QNAP came out with the TBS-453DX but the specs […]
Cloud storage? I presently have a couple of old two drive Netgear NAS units that I’m looking to upgrade, mainly because of their limited storage capacity (2T). The replacement must have the safety offered by RAID mirroring so if a disk fails my data remains intact. I’m a photographer and keeping files safe is huge. […]

I’m thinking of setting up a business from home doing video work – anything from VHS transfers to HD edits and (eventually) 4k and above. Needless to say, I’ll be needing all the storage space I can get, but I’d like to do it the most cost-effective way possible. One idea is to invest in […]
Portable NAS advice. I am looking for a light, portable NAS – think something like Drobo mini, but available and as a NAS, ethernet connectivity. My use case is as the backing storage for a Software Defined Data Centre – which is portable as carry on luggage, currently a Supermicro SYS-E200-8D I have several SATA […]
I’m considering the TS-228A because it’s within my budget and allows four surveillance cameras. Most NAS come with only two licenses, and additional licenses are rather expensive. I’m concerned that only 1G of memory in the TS-228A might be an issue using up to four cameras. I also wonder if the Realtek RTD1295 is up […]
I am about to purchase a mac mini to replace and old Mac and have been going down the rabbit hole of storage options, learning about SSD, HDD, RAID, NAS. Here are a few things that I’m hoping to accomplish: 1. Store and backup my family photo and video library – this is priority #1. […]

I’m was pretty much sold on the QNAP TVS951X for my new NAS investment, but I have since been made aware of the Synology DS918+, which is actually a little cheaper but seems more powerful and feature rich out of the box. For standard NAS activities (ISCSI/Virtual machines) and more advanced activities such as Plex […]
Upgrade from AS-304T (5 year to old 4 bay). My AS-304T has a 32bit kernel limit of 16 TB volumes. It’s running 4x4TB in Raid 5 so it’s about 11 TB. Swapping drives (to 8 or 10 TB) won’t make it, as with the 16 TB limit there is not that much to gain. There […]
I’ve looked into the DS218+ & DS718+. I’ve also looked at the Drobo, and briefly the WD. I’m now strongly thinking of the Asustor AS4004t. In your old vs new video with Eddie, you mentioned that your favorite brand might not be the top two. I’ve scoured most of you content on both channels, but […]
