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 […]
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. […]
QNAP HS-453DX Silent NAS Dolby Atmos and DTS:X I have a large collection of movies (MKV) with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X audio. Will I be able to play these files thru to my Receiver which is Atmos and DTS:X capable thru the HDMI, DLNA or Plex? Just want to make sure I can enjoy the […]
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 want to share on a folder in the directory tree so the clients can upload or download files from there. But all client folders are created under one public shared folder. Each personal subfolder has different user access rights to hide the other client content. But they can see the name of other folders. […]
Budget, Power and Ability – Is the QNAP TS-351 NAS What you need? When it comes to innovation and changing the way we think about accessing our data, I think it is fair to say that QNAP NAS is by far the most innovative brand out there. In recent years we have seen genuinely groundbreaking technology […]
I have the option between Qnap TS-231P, Asustor AS1002T V2 and Synology DS216se They are on the same price where i live. I would mainly use it for Plex media server. Which Nas server would you choose? All of these NAS models will allow you to set up a PLEX server. It will work just […]
Qnap NAS ts 212 vs ts 251b. I have an Qnap ts212 and i use it mainly to store a lot of pictures (about 60k) but this nas is very very slow to upload from camera or phone (backup through the app) or any other device, but also just to access the data from the […]
NAS for Folks. My folks have been relying on Google Drive and Mega for backing up their files, photos and music. They rely on my media server for access to their backed up movies and shows. My server has been acting up lately. I want to untangle them from relying so much on these external […]
Synology Drive vs QSync – max number of hosted files. I’m looking for a Dropbox alternative solution, so QNAP QSync or Synology Drive. In my case, I have a larger number of small files and see that Synology Drive has some serious limitations in the “Maximum Number of Hosted Files” which even for the most […]
ram, for qnap-nas – other brands. I am wondering about, if G.skill, Corsair (value-select) or Kingston (value ram) will also work? My concerns are, is the NAS-bios will recognize these other brands – even if timing etc. is the same ? (I am thinking of 2×4 or 2×8 GB) The keywords you need to focus […]
NAS transcoding. I’m considering to buy a NAS for home. I would like to know which one from the Qnap family will be best suited for playback of perhaps 1x 4k and 2x 1080p (this being the worst case scenario). I will have my Television connected directly to the ethernet cable. This is mainly for 2 […]

2 BAY NAS HDMI / MEDIA STORAGE / BACKUP (but NO VIDEOCAMERA). I’m choosing between QNAP TS-251B-2G and Asustor AS6302T. Both have HDMI 2.0 and a similar performance in video transcoding (H.264/265) right? I read it seems qnap is little bit more performing in read/write speed, isn’t it? Do you have feedback about new software deployed […]
