Building an Inexpensive 10TB NAS for my own Private Cloud Storage - Synology DS223j

[@FamilyGeekery]

What do you use a NAS for?

[@p4ulooping]

I want this for Christmas gift

[@p4ulooping]

What is your solution if the electric failed ? Example weather is not ok

[@FamilyGeekery]

I keep my NAS drives on a UPS. It’s big enough to handle small power outages and keep the drives from rebooting.

So i bought a used one last week. Its turns on and all. When i went online it said only 8tb (2 four tbs) but youre doing 10TB. is this due to the update?

[@FamilyGeekery]

I used 2x12tb drives in RAID. Did you buy yours with drives already installed?

[@continentalcosplay1243]

@FamilyGeekery no, I ordered my drives. I just saw the difference though. I have a 213j :( It's not as amazing as urs. But I only paid $48 so I can't complain

[@RayofallTrades]

That is definitely a must have! Thanks for the detailed guide.

@@continentalcosplay1243 1gb ram is enough? your NAS is slow?

[@AbhishekPrime]

1 GB of RAM is enough for this NAS model? I am planning to buy this model, but I am worried about the 1 GB of RAM only. I'm going to use it for backing up files from mobile and PC; not much of PLEX Steam, but I may stream it sometime once a month while travelling.

[@FamilyGeekery]

I believe so. Unless you’re using a lot of apps and docks, it should be fine. I haven’t had any problem with storing files, etc.
