I will be hooking my media server up to my Linksys Maxstream router. If I use link aggregation between the router and my server will this improve the communication speed between the two devices, and if not what is the actual point of link aggregation? How can this be beneficial to me or anyone in […]
h.265 (HEVC) NAS for streaming and transcoding via video station and/or PLEX New Realtek processors are tailored to new generation h265 video encoding format. It will transcode it even with higher frame rate than other NAS. The disadvantage of Realtek CPU is that they struggle with the 4K h264 format. If you have 1080p movies this CPU will […]
I am trying to Finalize a NAS for my self. Query: – What is Thunderbolt3 and its usage, is it specific to Apple only? – What is the purpose of an SSD Cache and is it needed for my requirements and can it be used as an expansion – What is a 10GbE connection and […]

I’m looking to buy a device that will stream my movies over LAN, internet and that can easily backup all my data as well, Great plus would be, if there was an option that allows recording of a few ( 1,2 maybe 3 IP Cameras ) preferably without the cost of extra third party software. […]
On the quest for my first NAS and home entertainment setup, I am left with open questions I cannot decide on. Ultimate goal: I want a filing/media system which is accessible from anywhere I have internet access – I want to be able to watch my movies/work on my documents on a camping trip in […]

I need to speed up my transfers speeds between my NVMe thunderbolt 3 pc set up and my future NAS [plex server] I thought about 2 scénarios : 1 – 10gb networking for my pc and NAS without Thunderbolt support [ds3617xs cooked up with ISCSI files system using Seagate NAS pro 12tb drives] 2- using […]
I have recently been looking at upgrading our video storage needs for our post production work and have narrowed it down to either a Qnap TVS 1282 i7 32GB or the Synology RS4017 xs. I have looked at lots of your awesome reviews on both these models on you tube and are now stumped. Which […]

It is for home use. The two most important things to me are 1) speed (RAM, I assume)- I am very impatient and have little time so quick access to data is imperative. 2) back up- this will house all of our data, including irreplaceable pictures and documents, so we want a secure backup (RAID? […]
I’ve been running a QNAP TS-251+ with upgraded memory and 2 WD Red 4TB drives for about 2 years now. I purchased this as my first NAS and now I’m trying to decide what to do next. Space is getting a bit tight and I’m trying to decide whether to go with the expansion bay […]
I’m a 3D modeler and recently I lost all my data in my 4TO WD green HDD. So I was looking for safety for my professional files and also some fun. (I like to play video games on the weekend and it could be great to access it through my future NAS). In your “top 5 […]
Everything has worked flawlessly forever but recent months movie streaming to the TV’s has been a pain. We still not 100% why but QNAP saying the 410 is too low a CPU. One the one hand we agree. On the other, not sure why it just suddenly stopped one day….nothing changed. Qnap 410 is really […]
I purchased a SynologyDS215j in 2015 before my business kicked off, I shoot newborns/portraits/landscapes and have recently kicked my business off( at the ripe old age of 58) I realize my career won’t be a hugely long one in terms of time so my needs and budget will reflect on my choices. I run a […]
I’m searching for a NAS with focus on file-usage-speed: – 10GbE connection, if possible with link aggregation – can run Plex and maybe a couple of other applications – can use SSDs – is quiet 10+ TB There aren’t many 10GbE options available especially if you prefer traditional RJ45 connection. But there are quite a few single and […]
I’m basically swaying more towards QNAP just to have a system to actually use Plex with my Panasonic TV (which doesn’t have a plex app, and I only have a normal PS4 so no 4k output). I’m mainly wanting this to watch stuff in 4k, so I’m just wondering around this price mark is there […]
Considering buying a NAS for my home needs. I will only use it for some personal files (1 Tb), and mostly for video consumption, from only one source: my TV (i.e. no simultaneous users). I need a NAS that can manage torrent downloads, and be able to stream 4k movies to the TV (a Panasonic […]

I am trying to decide between the QNAP TS-251+ and Synology DS218+. I plan to have whichever one I choose for years to come and intend on using them as storage in an ESXi environment. Which do you recommend in terms of performance? When we talk about Virtual machines, I have to say Qnap is […]
