I just connect my laptop to the TV via hdmi

Cache drive, more than one pool, yes - those are the things I would want. I would literally HATE this to get an app store with docker. It's just a NAS. Get a seperate system to work with VMs or containers, or apps, whatever you want. Let's not add complications to something that is so purely simple. I'd much rather have something that does storage perfectly, rather than trying to expand into something unnecessary. Just for me, of course, my two cents. YMMV.

What drives did you use?

I think Synology Introduced BeeProtect option as a cloud backup alternative, which is $71.99 a year and cheaper than C2 Cloud backup

How??

This is awesome, thank you Ed. My Apple Time Capsule is near death and I have a perfect external 4TB Hard Drive and this will be a great project for me. I've always wanted to play around with an RP. One issue I have is that I don't have a separate monitor (just an older iMac that doesn't like to be an external monitor). I also only have wireless keyboards. I'd rather not buy an old HDMI monitor and keyboard just to get the RP-5 set up, but all the tutorials I've seen on using iPads or whatever are pretty fiddly. Do you know an easy way to get video out and keyboard input in without those peripherals? If I'm going to be poking around on RP devices, I should probably just get an old used set... thoughts?

What about raid 1 or 10?

UI - Test in production at its finest

Invite people to upload, that's a great suggestion I haven't seen yet. That would be very cool, I'd be interested to see how they architect the request process, if they add that feature.

Bro, what the hell is that background music, fucking intensifying suddenly. Great fucking choice if you want your audience to just not know what the hell you're talking about

Synology got a lot of J4125 back in 2019 and they still have a lot of. This CPU is 5 years old, but fast enough for such a NAS Light. The real problem is the outdated and slow Gigabit NIC!!!

Or you could just buy two more ps5s with the money 😂😂😂😂

Hi, I can't connect to my NAS at all - not through the Synology Assistant nor the Browser. Can you suggest what the cause could be?

thank-you for your reviews of UNAS. I've had mine for a couple of weeks, and have been very very happy with it. Im not sure what you say RAID 6 is not available, mine came with a RAID 5, RAID6 and RAID10 options? I think all folders need to be accessible to an administrator to enable easy backups. Right now, I cant access other users drives. Also Time Machine should be folder/drive based, so one can set a limit on size it uses. thank-you

Question i want to use raid 1 and use 4 hdd all same size. I want to combine 2 drives so 16tb + 16tb to a total of 32tb and raid mirror to the other two hdd so with total storage of 32tb. Can this be possible or it this other raid #?

Joke 😂😂😂😂 they use j4125 celeron since ever 😂😂😂 synology went to the trash. Time to change brand and use a real one future of the nas.

Thanks for the video mate, question; if I start with 3 drives can I add more at a later date without reformatting?

Oh and multiple storage pools / volumes is essential.

They need to make a 2.5" only version for all SSD storage.

i want use hdd and SSD in same time:) because of the noise motors on silent evenings....:) When i use ssd (there will be music only), hdd would be hibernated...

Hey does this thing even work can u show us this vpn in working order please

work for android tv box ?

Totally regretting about updating. Ever since the update, even my 4K Chromecast at home struggles playing higher bit rate h265 videos over wifi, and I use Plex! Bye bye, Synology. I'm looking for alternatives.

Thanks. Switch to Qnap

I recently upgraded my Synology NAS to DSM 7.2.2, and now I’m facing some annoying issues. Videos encoded with HEVC, especially those recorded by cameras (e,g, Sony A7C2), used to play smoothly in Synology Photo, but after the upgrade, they either won't play or only the audio works. I reported this to Synology, and they admitted it's their system”upgrade” problem but have no plans to fix it. They’re trying to cut costs by not paying for the video codec licenses. As a consumer, I’m really disappointed because they promised video codec conversion when I bought this NAS. Now they’ve quietly removed this feature with the so-called upgrade, leaving us without a function we originally had. Hoping you can bring attention to this issue and help us voice our dissatisfaction to Synology. Thanks!

How about Jellyfin ? Can we still use it ?

I'm connecting two synology NAS devices via hyperbackup and have upload speeds under 1 mb/sec. Also my entire internet runs slow when I have hyperbackup running for some reason.

Thanks! I’ve been getting contant attacks and the firewall finally makes sense to me now.

F Synology 🤮🤮🤮

Celeron 4125 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Any update on the release date?

Expandable or not?

i've left my DS214play on DSM 6.2.4-25556 Update 8. the changelog for 7.0+ has 6x paragraphs about stuff thats "no longer supported" (e.g. video conversion and SVN) and a "limitations" section, and at the same time, its supposed to require more memory 🤣 also be careful with surveillance station, the latest 9.2.0 was still good, but 9.2.1+ has started the same bullshit.. now they no longer offer an update to the latest 9.2.0 for people that are still running older versions, but it would go straight to 9.2.2.. I'll be looking for alternative hardware and software in the future

Thanks for the info! Is it possible to sync the nas to another remote nas? For example, I want to have a main nas and send remote nas' to my editors for video editing and they all sync together?

Dec 30, 2024.... Now only $629 on Amazon.... WD_BLACK 8TB SN850P NVMe M.2 SSD Officially Licensed Storage Expansion for PS5 Consoles, up to 7200MB/s, with heatsink - WDBBYV0080BNC-WRSN

I really enjoyed your video. I was thinking of creating a cloud service for my whole family. Can the Bee station Handle multiple accounts so that I can run 4 cloud accounts or will it handle only one account. I need to backup 2 android phones and 2 iphones. We are using Google photo at the moment.

Hi I did manage to do the direct connection between Mac Mini1 and Synology DS423 using ethernet cable and assigning IP to synology. I did this to increase the speed for Lightroom photo edits. It is much faster than going through network. It works really well except if the Mac is not being used for a while the connection to NAS is lost. In that case as you said hit Finder/ Go and connect to the server. Am I missing another step? Any idea why this might happened. Thanks

Would a 4tb or 8 tb be better?

ext4 max single file size is 8TB

Thanks for the analysis! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?

U.3 is better

ram soldered?

Can you do a full build with the rack case?

Thank you for explaining this case. The best explanation I found.

Already sleeping

would it also work if i connect my windows 11 laptop wirelessly (project my screen) to my smart tv

Thank you for your video.

I have found that a 2.5Gb Ethernet connection to my NAS seems to be sufficient for at least basic editing. My H.264 10-bit 422 footage requires about 20MB/s bandwidth from the NAS for playback of a single 4K stream. The NAS has sustained speeds of about 250-260MB/s Read/Write, so I would expect to be able to handle about 10 video tracks assuming latency is still acceptable (the NAS has SSD storage in addition to an HDD RAID array). I would expect media from the SSD to play back with a lot less latency than the HDD array, but haven't done extensive comparisons yet.

Thank you, I finally understand how to do it now. I am going to make a NAS now.

Just get ZimaOS literally the same idea except it is CasaOS fork rather than TrueNAS and it works
