I’d like your opinion on which NAS server would be best for a small business security system ( 8-12 cameras). I’d like most of the cameras to be 4K for quality. I’d rather pay more now to help future-proof the system as much as possible. Also is QVR Pro the way to go or is […]
We are a small 3d studio consisting of 3-4 people working in an office with several computers/workstations and a single NAS we bought 2 years ago the QNAP TS-453a. We were actually so clueless that we bought a NAS at the time that had a lot of the features we never used or needed like […]
I am looking to buy a NAS that is fit for a home file share/file backup. I would like to use RAID 1 (redundancy) and have 4TB of storage available in a 2 bay enclosure. I have both Mac and PCs in the house. I work in IT so I should be able to figure […]
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 […]
I have been using my laptop with an external Hard drive attached wirelessly using my time capsule. But I would like to have a stand alone server so I don’t have to keep my computer on all the time. For a simple task like that, you can star with a solution like DS418j. It will […]
I intend to buy a NAS to use as a Plex server with the Nvidia Shield as my Plex client. It’s primarily for my home cinema. I’m thinking of the WD PR4100 and the Synology DS418Play. I read man reviews and comments on both, but find it at times confusing as some of these materials […]
Would like to know the difference between Synology DS1618+ vs DS3018x Which would be better for home and business Use , media server, 4K etc. Already have a DS1512+ so thinking up upgrading If you liked D1512+ you will also like DS1618+ which is a good upgrade option.

QNAP vs Synology. I was looking to buy either the QNAP TS-932x or Synology DS918+ They are both very similar price points and features. I do like that the TS-932x has 10gb SFP ports. The DS918+ has some good features like the transcoding and btrfs. I’m going to use this for a home NAS as […]

For family pictures, I currently have a 1TB raid setup on my desktop. I back that up to an external periodically. We’re running out of space. Would like to set up a NAS that is accessible by Windows and macOS. We both use iPhones and importing pictures on Windows has become a pain. I would […]
New to NAS’s, will be my first one. I’m mainly interested in the ability to play 1080 vids through plex, perhaps 4K one day. Would not streaming more than 3 files at a time, most likely. Recommendations? I feel like some of the Plex recommended NAS may be more than I need, as far as […]
I have the need to edit 4k video from a Macbook pro with limited internal storage, the first solution would be to buy a high-speed interface DAS and edit the files directly on that disk. However, when I’m done with the video files and photos, I want to access them from the web in a […]
Which NSA fits best to the following requirement: For energy–saving and noise reasons I would like to run my NAS only during the day (“office hours“). QTS and software I require should run on SSDs while my long-term data storage (office files but also private photos and videos) should be on HDDs (and actually most […]
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 have a QNAP TS-128A 1 Bay NAS and looking for some advice on best storage/volume setting and how to setup for snapshot (if it is possible with 1 Bay NAS). Do i need to use external USB HD via the USB port ? Snapshots will reserve storage space on your existing internal drives. Qnap, […]
Currently i’m thinking about Synology ds218+ and Qnap ts-251a and ts-251+. I would like to run plex media server, store backup files, be able to encrypt drives as well as be able to run some virtualization machines. I know that 251+ is older than 251a im interested how they both would perform in mentioned tasks […]
