You have to be pretty much computer illiterate to believe you can put 64 TB on a usb key.

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.

I just want a cheap 12 bay to toss in all the spare 500~512GB NVMe SSDs I have sitting in a box.

Well, maybe it is better to buy the bigger version that cost just a bit more but offers more disk storage. To build a NAS is not only to find a good hardware but to be able to master the software. I'm on a Synology DS718+ that I'm looking to exchange but haven't figured out yet what I will get instead. Synology have as I can see a good software solution but I dislike their way of trying lock customers into their own brand of extras and their NIC only offers 2 set of 1GB is a bit dated this days. It's not easy to chose from all those different brands and modell that is available. Maybe it would be good to have a checklist of things my next NAS should have. I will have this NAS on my maybe list. When talking about NAS with 2,5, 5 or 10GBit, then we also need a router that can feed such bandwidth. What options do we have there?

Such devices have already existed. They were called Arkeia Backup. Then he bought it WD and that was it. But that's why they bought them. For it not to work.....

The famed *Barbone* setup. 😆

That is not a scam! It is the new write once, read never drive type a.k.a. WORN-drive.

No dustfilter? That is a no no to not have a filter for a system running 24/7 The PSU solution was a very odd thing to. This would no get into my build Thanks for a great review

This is an old school scam, it has been been around for more than a decade. My advice: Only buy from respectable firms who also host a website, always look up the adress in Google and Google Earth (and even than ...). If it is too good to be true, it is likely too good to be true!

Just don't. Get WD

this is still damm slow

As a non businessman with moderate Linux CLI ability, I found this video to be very useful. I would not have fallen for this particular type of scam but your video is a timely reminder for all of us. What other scams are in the pipeline? Thanks.

There is a way to use synology DSM users for Jellyfin ?

And what happens when you plug these drives into a Mac?

Synology OS is a bloated mess for the home network market. At the end of the day we just need network accessible storage that is secure. UNIFI is a lovely walled garden that just works.

Awesome video as always. I'm following the QNAP series to set up my new 464. Very happy to have chosen this thanks to your videos and website. It will hopefully make for a great "homeplex" set up.

Thank you so much for this amazing video! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: 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?

Hi there new to the channel, I am having an error come up for a network error 1002 I cannot find anything that resolves the issue anyone else found a fix for that?

Thanks.

Surely the makers of fake SanDisk Portable SSDs can print a legitimate Serial Number on the casing

I am having the same “issue” with KZbin; The amount of fake health and medical information (info-mercials) has reached the obscene level. What’s sad is that these advertisers are apparently doing well enough to be able to saturated the platform with ads running from 3 to 20 minutes in length. It’s sad, really.

This video is a Gem Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Super important, the OS lies to us, the internet lies to us, but there are no products in physical stores to give a human face to the seller and arrest him! It's all the fault of corporations that moved products to the online store to save money on hiring workers and storing products on location. Now they can no longer give the money back to the company, because they spent it and can't produce it themselves. But for the customer to open the product and check the chips and memory modules, it is forbidden because you lose the warranty even if you take a risk and find a scam, they just record it at the police and nothing will change. The OS should have USB Or any input output media uses the Isolation Verification Protocol, (IVP). That devices that are first plugged into any form of OS. must get confirmation from that OS that they went through the IVP. Basically, the OS, when detecting a device, triggers a driver search, which is wrong! 1. Isolation of the populated input, from the OS. 2. Creation of a virtual system and redirection to a virtual device. 3. The virtual machine is tasked with verifying the device's identity. (year of manufacture, serial number, firmware version, last 3 OS used and their generated verification codes. 4. Drivers are loaded into the virtual machine. 5. Before opening the pop-up window that the device is available, an antivirus program and a partition analysis program are started, where the manufacturer's indication points are checked that the device is theirs and unused or modified. In each partition of a certain size of the device's memory, the Bit must be in the right place. 6. If everything is OK, it is checked whether anything has already been written to the device. 7. The read content is checked with an antivirus. 8. The content of the controller's firmware version is copied and verified online or with a collection of pre-loaded factors. 9 When all this is checked, a pop-up window opens in the virtual machine so that the person can verify the content and operation of the device. 9. When everyone is satisfied with the security and suitability of the device, the generated code is written into the hardware memory. Consisting of the OS ID, Mac ID, date, computer name and size of content on the device. 10. The virtual machine is closed and the device receives a verification code from the OS that is valid only between this OS and the device. All verification codes are stored on the device and OS memory and when using the device on another computer, a verification code is added. IVP is always triggered if the verification codes are the same and the last code added to the device is the same and no new one has been added to the memory and the code space is empty, the verification process is skipped, but if the code space is occupied, the next one is also checked, all intermediate codes are copied and stored as proof of the device's journey. When the last or recorded code does not match the OS code, the IVP process continues in full. The verification code partition is never deleted. When the partition is full, the oldest one is overwritten.

The scam works, obviously, because people are illiterate, lazy, any greedy. No matter if you aren't an it guy, you have to have basic understanding of how things work, and basic market prices for comparable products. So, no - they ARE idiots.

thank you for all these videios, Long time sub and your budget buids are great. Could we please get a no holds bard DIY NAS build

Synology is still the best NAS. Not the best Home Lab... For me my storage and compute are on separate machines.

Xia drive is fake. They use recycled xia drive houses

This channel is - without a doubt - the authority on NAS tutorials. Thank you for enabling us newcomers to make the best choices for our needs.

I would like it if you did a video just on cameras. What are the cameras you prefer and what are the extra features they have that the Protect cameras do not?

Video station? It’s gone!

I am at the beginning of the video , so be aware there is a software called ValiDrive by Steve Gibson to check this type of scam. .😂 Ps : You used this software , perfect !!!

But as you say, when the price is good but close enough to be reasonable, we can all be caught out. Yes when it arrives and the packing is wrong, we know, but the scammer at that point already has our money. It is the sites, Ali Express and Amazon and others who should be dealing with this.

How are you pronouncing that name? 🤣

People who buy should put in a claim as not described then the seller will get fed up advertising them

What a great breakdown I will use my d5 for my music production. I anticipate it will work fine

I backed them on kickstarter and at $360 bucks it was a great deal. Definitely has some annoyances with the various android apps so i can't quite use the media center/video app on my android TV OS yet...

The fake Xiaomi and lenovo drives with a traditional design (single usb connector and cap) are excellent as FREE metal USB enclosures, as they are easy to take apart and Ali won't flinch when you'll ask for a refund.

It’s not xiaomi, it’s just a fake.

FAT32 only supports 32 gigabyte or, with recent Windows 11 systems, 2 terabyte when formatted through the commandline. Why doesn't Windows complain when seeing a 64 terabyte FAT32 drive while FAT32 cannot support that partition size? NTFS can go up to 8 petabyte and exFAT can go up to 128 petabyte, so that would at the very least be possible software-wise.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqKvl3qHqZeNrZo video from 2018. Next year: ""Hé!! Bye this 128 TB USB stick for $ 10,-- ""

64TB USB 3.0 (5 Gbit/s) drives for less than 10€? If they were real, I'd take at least 25 and would need some more USB slots on my computer! ;)

thank you for your service.

Not that it isn't rampant the rest of the year, but the western holiday season is also prime scam time; non-geek people buying gifts for the geeks in their lives, and the recipient isn't about to tell a spouse, bf/gf, aunt.uncle that they got ripped off/the gift is trash (ie no report/refund and scammers win). Unfortunately as far as the platforms are concerned it's very labor intensive/expensive whack-a-mole and the parasitic plague continues, so until somebody comes up with a antivirus-ish scam-scanner for websites nothing is going to change. Now there's something useful for AI to do...... Fat chance of that though, it's already too busy PUSHING crap like this. 🤣

I bought a 2tb green version of this before I seen this vid. Same problems just messed up my computer. Could not write more than 96gb . Same board but 2 chips. Total scam I am sending it back. :)

Xiaomi is pronounced Show' (rhymes with cow) mee

Actually gets to the point at 5:36

Looking at building this a year later and it's more than twice expensive now. And the mobo isn't available.

With this capacity density, it might value at millions if real. a friend of my got scammed like this a decade ago, apparently this is still relevant.

Yea I recently got an Aliexpress refund on some 1GB USB drives that were actually 64MB when tested. There is a small program called Validrive made by the well known company Gibson Research Company that will give you the actual USB size.There are also a lot of fake NVME drives on the various third party sales websites like Ali, Amazon and Ebay.

6:30 There is so much space back there they might have added more drive bays there.
