QNAP NAS Setup & Drive Mapping for Beginners

[@localgarage116]

i appreciate your videos and making things simple for us "noobs"! - I moved from the trades in IT with 0 experience and watched your videos for years now, i am currently on a Service Desk Analyst role and slowly teaching myself this industry. Videos like this that explain in more detail how these things work, in this case setting up NAS ect goes a long way for me Thanks for all that you do

[@philthegoofball1999]

I am starting IT in college this year, how convenient to find a channel like this right as I'm starting :) Thanks for the video.

[@johnterrone2650]

Thank you! I setup two different drives, one wasn't showing on my PC. Shared folder steps were the key! Thanks.

[@KungFuMojo]

5:45 I thought you were going to show us how to map a drive from a virtual machine. A VM is hidden from the network, right? I can map my Qnap drive to my windows PC that's on the same network. But how do we map a Qnap drive or folder to a VM inside a Windows PC?

[@rodgerhorne2212]

Hi There Love your set up video. I wish I had seen this before. Now I need to reset my QNAP TS-464 to factory settings and format drives. Can you help me please? Regards Rodger

[@johnsnyder751]

This is a great video. My only question is regarding the volume creation. The very first volume that is created by QNAP contains system files as well as system folders for multimedia, music, etc. Why not create this as "sysvol" and then create an additional volume for data (i.e. Datavol1") so that as you add an expansion unit of additional raid sets, you can add additional volume (e.g. Datavol2, Datavol3, etc.) . There are a couple of reasons to do this. First, you aren't mixing data with system files and keeping the volumes potentially smaller. So when QNAP forces you to run a volume check for bad content due to a system crash, breaking the volumes out like this takes less time to run the check disk type processes. Should also be a bit better virus protection since the system and data files aren't being mixed on the same volume. Just curious?

Do you have a setup video for JBOD and mapping the drives? TIA

[@kerrin6633]

Hi, this video is on mapped drives or are you formatting the HDDs for RAID configuration for the first time. Is it the same process? I am confused because there is a setting in Windows for 'Map Network Drive', and I an using a DAS TR-004. Since it's direct storage I won't need to map the drive. However if you can help confirm that setting up the DAS is the same that would be great. I guess I would consider this video covering the following: configuring NAS for the first time, and formatting your HDDs and then mapping the drive to your main computer

[@nikhilananth4383]

have you guys heard of the limited edition Lil NAS X? haha im just gonna be quiet now, definitely will buy QNAPs' products

[@escavacoessonoras4600]

Hi, I have a QNAP TS-253D that I can not get in to the web interface. The web page prompts for username and password and then sits on the loading screen forever. What shoul I do?

[@07Review]

Hi, If I have 5 hdd Wd red pro 4tb each, 1 ssd wd red 500 and 2 Nmve sn700 plus 64 gb of ram using Qts and Qtier for streaming media for maximum results I did install 2 Nvmes wd sn700 1tb each for a total of 2tbs, 1 for read and 1 for write, do you think this 2 Nmves are enough for cache or I need 4tbs for 4k streaming? Also an Nvidia gpu for transcoding. Thanks again

[@khaicinpau]

Great info. Thank you

[@NicholasT-f9n]

On Buffalo NAS it has a direct URL for its NAS torrent app. What's the direct URL for the Download Station app without having to go into QNAP App Center first to open it ?

[@lalanisoham9802]

Sir i have one question , Let’s see we are connected to nas using wifi in our home Then my wifi data will use or not ? If it will use wifi data so how we can access without using wifi data, through the router And please share how we connect nas to wifi using lan cables

[@Matt-uc1mx]

I'm stuck at 15:42 whenever I type that "\\" and the path to my static IP address into the run command or file explorer it keeps telling me that it cannot connect to the network drive. I'm running QFinder Pro at 7.4.5 with a UDM PRO Router + UDM PRO 24 PoE++ Switch

[@datataptechnologies4855]

My guess is you need to edit the local group policy and enable insecure guest logins. Have had this issue before. Especially if you’re running in a domain environment.

[@RK-rp3nf]

Great video My old TS-251 (2015) gave up last week. And I plan to get TS-251D or TS-253 but I wonder, can I put the old HDD Raid 1 con. into the new NAS without losing the information.

[@abeibrahim5846]

Hi, quick Q: If my QNAP NAS failed, how can I connect its drives to a Windows system? what tools do I need for Windows to recognize QTS volume? PLEASE advise, THANKS!

[@evankirschenmann4653]

This video was very helpful, though I would like to ask that you filter the voiceover section of the walkthrough a bit better. The microphone peaks quite a bit. Turning the gain down and compensating by getting a bit closer could help make it more clear. Thank you though!

[@byrd203]

Great info

[@odenttraipser5833]

Brilliant1 I think I've just worked out why my QNAP NAS drive mapping keeps failing :-( What the discovery does mean though is I now have another question - can I change from DHCP IP addressing to Static without losing data. I have a 4 drive QNAP with 4 x 6Tb drives configured in mirrored pairs with around 7Tb of data. Thanks in anticipation of a response - but fully understand if you do not have time to do so.

[@sergebogatyy6978]

That network drive will be unavailable as soon as you leave your home network. How to make it available outside of your own LAN?

[@noblej7897]

Looking at a NAS with raid 1 mirror for backups. Im not sure how much I would need but at the same time I want to pretty much not have to upgrade for years so I'm tempted to wait until I can overspec so I know it will handle it.

[@skajsen]

Qfinder Pro can't even find my nas in the first setup even though everything is done right. Im totally stuck!!

[@samimorcos]

can we create users and give different permissions per user per folder?

[@divinity176]

Yes.

[@jacknicholasny]

My NAS is not showing up in File Explorer. Also I keep getting folder sharing denied. I'm ready to return it to Best Buy.

[@sumit06lad]

I am from India I am following you since 2018 and as per your guidance I have completed CompTIA A+ in December 2020 I am looking for a job and nobody even noticing my certification in India 😭😢

[@ramanak2213]

Bro, please do remember he has sujjested for A+, in the view of requirement in u.s, the situation may differ in other countries, like in India CCNA is mostly considered for entry level Jobs in I.t, consider doing CCNA For better job opportunity in our country.

I don't see anything clicked, I don't know how he gets to different parts, like creation of volumes etc. Not good.

[@Ralphia01]

You lost me when you started wack wack. I'm having trouble creating my shared folder as you went too fast for me to follow you. I've played that segment over and over and over and I can't figure out what you are doing.

You are talking rubbish and waving your arms for half of the video!
