I’ve been using an Nvdia Shield as Plex Media Server for 2 years now. On top of the limited space, the overall limited experience for Plex Server on the Nvidia, the experience is slow and comes with a buggy Android TV OS. I’m not even talking about the crappy remotes. It’s not all that bad […]
NAS in a Motorhome I will be living in a motorhome and traveling around the US. I want to move my extensive video collection to a NAS and I am looking at the QNAP HS-453DX connected directly to the TV. Noise is an issue because of the confined space, but not a deciding factor, and […]
The New DS119j or the Old DS118? Which Budget NAS deserves your data?

We are a wedding photo/video company. We currently do about 100/125 weddings per season and are looking to do about 200 next season. Each wedding on average we will yield about 200-500 gigs of data. I have been doing a lot of research on the NAS systems but still can’t seem to find or know […]
Best NAS after Transporter EOL I’ve been using the Transporter which has fit the bill for me to a ‘T’…. But it’s now the “End of Life” for that system and before it’s too late, I’m lost as to what would be the best follow on for myslef and my company. I’m really the only […]
Hi, maybe u can give m addvice to the rs1619xs+ from Synology. We need to replace the 7 year old and still bravely running servers in the company. We got 2 Xeon single socket machines and configured them to a small failover-cluster-system (i know, realy small 🙂 ). That tiny cluster hosts a win2003 Server, […]

I’m looking for a field NAS solution where I can hook up multiple “Ingress Stations” (2-3 MacBook Pros running Thunderbolt 3 -> 10GBE Adapters) via a 10GBE switch. Speeds are extremely important, looking for approx 500mb/s read/write. Needs to be a solution that is fairly durable and can be transported in the field – similar […]
I am using an Amazon fire stick with Kodi on it to watch movies on my netgear wndr4700. This has been working great, I’m able to drag and drop files via file explorer from either my win 10 or win 7 machine, and can watch everything on my TV. My wndr no longer seems to […]

Today I own a Synology Ds211j and a Mac Mini mod 2010. The Synology I use for Surveillance Station and a small number of backup files. The Mac Mini I use for a Logitech Media Server for a Squeezebox Radio and for Plex. It seems to me that I need to replace both of these […]
I am looking for a recommendation on a NAS drive with HDMI output, I don’t need more than 2 bays really, but probably a minimum of 4 and ideally 6 terabytes of storage in RAID1 set up. Unconventionally, I am looking at setting this up near my TV to play 4K content direct via HDMI […]
I have really appreciated all of the information that you have posted on this site – it is very helpful. I am looking to perhaps set up a NAS environment within my home. I use 3 Windows 10 PC’s (and phasing out Windows 7), various iphones, ipads, and android tablets, as well as apple TV […]
The 1282 looks like a solid option. I would go for it as I like the features but I really want 12 bays to maximise storage and not have to upgrade in the near future. It’s frustrating that with so many NASes to chose from it’s almost impossible to find a NAS that has all […]

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 […]
