nas

I'm looking for a NAS for home, and also to host some of my private projects (in docker). 2 bay NAS should be sufficient for my data, and 2GB RAM. What about security? I read in many posts that Synology is more secure than Qnap and that I shouldn't expose NAS to internet anyway. Does it mean I...

I asked Synology this and they didn't know either. I have 2 desktops and 1 laptop in our home office. They all talk happily to each other. The 2 desktops talk happily to the NAS. The laptop refuses to connect. It throws up the "Enter Network Credentials" popup, just like the desktops, but...

I've been a Synology NAS user for 6 or 7 years but only at a very superficial level. My primary use is simply to access my data from multiple devices within my home. Starting sometime in the past several days my NAS network locations are disconnected from my desktop PC (Windows 10) for both...

Hi all, I am currently using an LDAP server on our Synology NAS (using for many years now). I found it the perfect setup for our on premises identity management needs as it provides replication to other Synology LDAP servers for failover and scheduled backups of user information. I was...

I'm a web designer and, when I backup a website, it's automatically sent to my Google drive account. Does one of the Synology packages allow the NAS to auto backup that Google drive folder to my NAS?

Setting up a new NAS, and copying all the data from the old one, but with a little re-organization into new shares structure. The old one is still backing up to B2 Backblaze, but this will probably be turned off in the next day or two. Of course, when I set up Hyperbackup on the new device...

Despite using the NAS for most of my file keeping, there are certain files that I must keep locally on my various Windows PC's. For the last ~10 years, I've been using Windows File History to back up each of these PC's to the NAS, and then Hyperbackup to backup the NAS to B2. It has worked...

This is probably one main burning question for anyone looking to jump down the NAS rabbit hole. With the changes happening on the commercial cloud side of things and streaming platforms, it is no wonder that users are moving away from publicly hosted services. It is not just the price hikes but...

When I first setup my NAS to host a website, it started a massive search. Every time I figured something out, it unearthed more questions. I recall having wished I could get all that info in one place. To that end, I will share it all here, and continue to, when I find something helpful. That...

Hi there... I have 2 Local (same network) NAS - I want to use hyper backup from one to another, infact I have had it running for years without any problems! Then today my destination NAS broke down due to some HDD failures so I startet all over on that one, it mostly serves as a more or less...

Hello, I have a 923+ with 4 disks 8To disks. I just use it as media center (plex), no backup needed. When I installed the NAS I had this stupid idea (for this usage) to use SHR-2. Anyway last week I replaced the 4 * 8To by 4 * 16To. In case of futur expansion is it better to use an DX517 or...

Hello everyone, My 10-year-old Windows 10 “server” in the office recently failed. I wanted to build another one, but it seems the availability of Mini-ITX components isn’t as good as it used to be. This led me to explore NAS solutions, and I’ve concluded that Synology is probably the best...

The Seagate Ironwolf Pro 24TB HDD Review Seagate and their Ironwolf series of hard drives have fast become a mainstay of the NAS landscape in a relatively short time, considering their NAS HDD and eventual rebranding to Ironwolf in 2015/2016. In that time they have closed considerable ground on...
