NAS Drive Encryption Explained

What is the Best NAS hard drive of the Year nascompares.com/2021/02/16/be...
- When choosing your first NAS device, as important as it seems to get the right network attached storage device, even more important is making sure you get the right hard drive or SSD Media to store your files on. Technically any hard drive (HDD) these days can be installed inside a network attached storage device. On the one hand, this is a good thing for those that like choice, but it is also a bloody awful thing for the indecisive or those that just want to know what the best hard drive to buy is right now. In order to use any hard drive in your NAS, you will need to make sure it is the following:
SATA connectivity (so some Enterprise drives will also support SAS)
At least 5400rpm or higher otherwise you there will be lag during access which only gets worse, the more drives you add.
at least 120GB and above in capacity, as often applications and NAS operating systems, plus updates, will be well over 50-80GB alone over the years
At least 64MB cache
Yep..that just above covers it!

I enjoyed this vid 👊🏾👊🏾

[@jouce100]

Is there any differences between Synology and QNAP in terms of path length and is there any way to extend the limit?

[@salmp7]

can you encrypt a sub-folder only which is located inside an unencrypted folder (synology NAS)?

[@arjan2518]

With Synology you can enable encryption later, after data has been written to a share, so you are mistaken, sorry.

Hey, Please make a video for using Synology NAS as 1. Storage server for *home office* . 2. Map NAS as network drive in all Windows computers in network. 3. Set scheduled, automatic, incremental, and encrypted back up *FROM* NAS *TO* Google Drive. To protect my data from *Ramsomware, Home Fire etc* (while making sure that Google *can't* read my data).

This would be great!

Man, are you really a tech guy? AES-NI is NOT a better AES standard!! It’s just the name of the IMPLEMENTATION in hardware of the algorithm!! Can’t help but notice the vague information and concepts often mentioned here...
