The RAID choice is really important: the redundancy of data is essential:you use half of your storage space as an automatic backup. Handy that you set up an automatic copy of one NAS to the other one!

[@logandaniels5]

Interesting choice for the drives.. Ironwolf Pros would likely have been much better unless you’re utilizing a lot of surveillance and you absolutely need the constant read/write capabilities

[@qud3913]

They have better mtbf and usually go much cheaper than NAS drives. Only issue is they will make more noise than NAS drives.

[@ShervinShares]

Is there any way to do two-way sync from NAS to Google Drive?

[@jmssun]

Synology used to be my favorite brand, but it recently is starting to do some shady practices, of requiring people to use their branded hard drives, or they block it via software. This hard drive block tactic used to be just in the higher end models, but It starts to require in lower end models, and may eventually trickle down to all models.

[@approachyourself]

I'm in the same boat - is there a more budget entry point to synology? I have a MacBook Pro but a noob when it comes to tech

[@johnbuscher]

Synology should have a 2-bay system that you can stick any hard drives into. DS220+ and DS720+ are what come up when I search for some, and that way you can have redundancy for a large storage solution if you know you won’t use more than the largest commercially available drives. For $1400 USD (not including tax or shipping depending on where you buy), you could have two 20TB HDDs in a DS720+, and it should be relatively painless. I have family that aren’t tech people use a DS220+ (pretty sure? It’s a cheaper 2-bay model), plays perfectly over the network was easy for them to set up. Mac Mini M1 sees everything just fine, and the Windows computers work just fine as well. You can always pay less for smaller hard drives as well, if you’re not running out of space that quickly.

Another advantage of this share file option where any data is mirrored to another NAS is that the data is saved serveral time

You would need to connect your computer and NAS to a 10gb switch and you would connect the switch to your router.

You should also look into TrueNAS. It’s the open source equivalent of a Synology (essentially the same technology, but you build it yourself with a PC motherboard).

[@JDFloyd]

I have 2x OWC Thunderbay8 NAS'. One in my home attached to a MacMini setup as a Server, with 128tb (16tb x 8) in RAID5, and a matching setup in a offsite 3rd party datacenter. I use the OWC Raid software. Yes, it was expensive, but I already had 48tb plus of data when I started, and I had to bit the bullet. My home MacMini is the base M1, but has 10Gbt ethernet, and lets me move internal data quickly. One other item; I created a different iCloud ID for my servers, and use Dropbox to synch the new data additions. I use Dropbox, so that I can transfer data from either server to my office MacBook Pro iCloud ID.

Hey do you think that there is a chance that apple would release a refreshed Macbook this year and if the improvements in it are worth it compared to the current M1 air

[@jerishj658]

Actually I'm was waiting for the new updated macbook air.. but I think Apple might use the old MacBook Air's design but update it with a new M2 processor.. Like what they did with the new iPhone SE 3... And I'm planning to get the MacBook Pro 16.. I know it's overkill but I usually use my laptop for 5 hours on weekdays and 12 hours on weekends so it seems worth it for me

[@alexandru-vladmoise8952]

There are rumours that Apple will release at the Autumn event a new Macbook Air or a simply named Macbook with 15" display that will have the new M2 processor. But these are just rumours at this point. In theory, M2 processor will have the same CPU cores configuration 4P + 4E while the GPU will have 9 and 10 cores. I think the procesor will have an increase in performance between 10 to 15%, while the GPU will see a bump of 20 to 35% due to the addition of cores and process improvements.

Awesome job. Very informative video on NAS setups. If you did another video could you go through some rack mount versions?

[@CreatedTech]

I actually wanted this to be rack mount, but the pricing for rack mount gear is like twice as expensive haha... I hate the enterprise markups. Even the rack mount UPS was almost twice as expensive. I will definitely go rack mount as the channel/business grows bigger though. It's ok for now with just a medium-sized office and the 1-2 extra people I plan on hiring this year.

[@karloshagen]

@@CreatedTech agree on the price curve. Rack mount NAS stuff does escalate the price quickly. Ive got a UDM pro and 24 port switch that I use for cameras, access points and hard line Ethernet to tvs, ps4 ect but it’s going to do my OCD in having a nice rack with a nas sitting on the floor!! Just wish the rack mount nas gear was cheaper

Very interesting. How much did it cost you to buy the home setup with the nas, disks, ram upgrade and 10gb card? I’m currently specking out a MacBook Pro 16 inches with 32 GPU, 64ram and either 4tb or 8TB drive. The difference in price between the 4tb and 8TB is £1200. So, just trying to work out exactly what to get for the whole setup before I pull the trigger! PS Yep. Would be great to see a detailed step by step video of you setting that home config up. Thanks. Been enjoying your videos while massively geeking out on deciding between the new Mac Studios vs a MacBook Pro!

[@lmmartinez97]

Id say go down to 2tb for file you are working on at the moment and fork the rest of the money you intended to expend in a NAS. For the close to 2k you'll save you can even build a specific machine yourself.

[@johnbuscher]

@@lmmartinez97 This. In the US, you can get a 20TB IronWolf for $500. Two of those in a cheap system means you could have 20TB with redundancy over a network and useful for any computer.

So you "sync" your home NAS with yuor office NAS. So when you accidently delet photos on your office they will be deleted with sync, also on your home NAS as well?

Yes, but I also have something called "snapshots" set up. So I can recover deleted data for 12 months on my NAS. I never worry about data loss.

Im looking at buying that exact thunderbolt to 10gbe adapter for my nas setup how is it has it been reliable some reviews of these types of adapters say they can be flaky.

Nah been pretty good for me, those reviews are probably due to issues with macOS and them not knowing how to configure it (you have to set it up in network settings to automatically connect first before wifi etc)

[@EdwardTheAussie]

@@CreatedTech awesome great to know!

[@DillonPadgette]

Help me out here: It looks like you're using an RJ45 cable, but the 10GbE adapter you linked is to SFP+... So it appears you're using a transceiver from SFP+ to 10GbE, but haven't linked to that. Just checking, and asking, why you didn't stick with an SFP+ Synology card and go SFP to SFP? Am I missing something? Why did you jump to RJ45 but then back to SFP? I'm building an identical setup and this was the best video I could find for a native MacBook Pro user like myself diving into Synology NAS setups! Thanks mate!

[@DillonPadgette]

Also since the TS4 is only 2.5GbE, arent you loosing a chunk of that 10GbE speed, or what is the end result here?

[@CreatedTech]

I'm using SFP+ to SFP+. There is an SFP+ NIC in the Synology, a SFP+ cable attaching that to a SFP+ to thunderbolt 3 adapter, which is then plugged into my dock or MacBook via thunderbolt.

What speeds do you get over Wi-Fi with just gigabit Ethernet? Ive not found a video that quotes a Wi-Fi speed

[@elidanceali]

Have you ever been caught out by slow Australian upload speeds? I have two set up myself, with one as my working NAS and the other as a hyperbackup offsite. I like the idea of syncing via drive instead but can imagine getting home from the office and my footage etc not being there for days, or vice versa.

[@CreatedTech]

It hasn't been too bad so far. Typically it will just sit there uploading at 2-3mb/s, so around 7GB per hour. If I'm working on a current project I almost always have it on the internal SSD of my Mac, so I'm not bothered if it takes 24 hours to sync through. The internet at my home is great, the office? Absolutely horrible, thanks Telstra. I'm actually using a 5G modem there because there are no other viable options.

[@Winastwan]

Can it be used for mobile phones cloud storage, that can be accessed anytime and anywhere?

[@johnbuscher]

If you have a static IP address and you can port-forward on your home internet, then probably! Some home internet agreements may hit you with a warning about hosting your own server but I think that’s generally only if you’re trying to run a full commercial-grade server out of your home with large amounts of data being accessed at once, like a banking website or something similar.

[@RoamingPunjabi]

@Created Tech Hope You are Safe and Well. Great Video! Very interesting! I mostly make Travel Vlogs, and I’ve been using Seagate Hub Drives (different Storage sizes like 4 TB, 5 TB, 6 TB, and 8 TB). Your setup seems interesting, but it seems too complicated for me. Is there an easier or simpler version of thi? I would be happy with someone smaller. Do You have to be within a certain range to save files? For example, if You are in another Country, can You edit a video on Your laptop/save files there, and they all will get saved on both NAS’s? Thank You. All the Best!

[@mike1207976]

Do note that Synology currently caps their storage limit at 16TB per drive/bay. I made the mistake of using 18TB drives to only be able to use 14.6TB per drive 🤦🏾‍♂️ . I’ll be upgrading my NAS to this model with 10GbE as the 918+ is only 1Gb-E and it’s painfully slooooooow and moving data at only 115MB/s on a good day.

This is the information i have been looking for. I dropped an email so synology asking whether 18tb will work or not. Thanks for sharing. Strange why they kept it at 16tb.

[@antik06]

As an Apple user (MacBook Pro etc.), I recommend focusing on a NAS from QNAP, which also offers Thunderbolt connectivity. These NASes always have 10G ports as well, and in conjunction with their 10G router or 10G switch, the resulting solution works out bargainly. I used to use Synology NAS as well, but for the last few years QNAP is clearly better (better HW and not only in NAS segment, better prices, wider options) ✌

[@CreatedTech]

QNAP definitely has better hardware choices and prices, but Synology’s software is amazing, which is why I went with them over QNAP.

[@antik06]

@@CreatedTech Well, for me, even the QNAP software is already somewhere else. I didn't mean the wider possibilities only in the HW field, but also in the SW field (more possibilities to set up different things). I have two QNAP NAS models with QTS 5 and one NAS with QuTS hero 5 (ZFS) and in one word, it's luxury 👌

Plus a Few mounted in the drive bays (Sata II speed) , also a PCIe NVme and aq USB 3.1 (Mbs) and Usb 3 card .. With eSata.. I just want the performance I get individually , the Total in a Box from either connected to the Mac Pro (cMP) and connected to my M1.... To add, I do film Post, Composition, music etc..
