That's not a PS/2 port - it's a DIN power connector, which is along the same lines as a PS/2 port, but a different shape and carries power not data

Excellent content! I just have few questions and hopefully you can answer it since I'm new in this DIY local storage build. 1. Is it really necessary to connect it physically through a LAN network or will it work home wifi connection? 2. Is it safe to run this unit 24/7?
@MK-Creator Жыл бұрын
Hi Judy, nice to have you around. 1. It doesn’t have a wireless interface so you would need to connect the cable to for example a router to bring it to your wireless network. 2. Yes it’s built to run 24/7.

can you connect the synology wireless to the router?
@20centurymodern Жыл бұрын
How do you connect though with a wired Ethernet connection and not a wifi connection via a router? Lots of videos explain setup wireless but it’s a very slow connection method and doesn’t allow for the 1GB connection speeds. Is it as simple as getting an Ethernet cable and plugging that into the router and into the computer?
@MK-Creator Жыл бұрын
You should be able to plug your router into the NAS and then a cable from your computer to the router 👍 Just make sure you use fast enough ports on your router.
@20centurymodern Жыл бұрын
@@MK-Creator Thanks for your reply. How do you go about finding out how fast the router is? I assume most of the mainstream ones are only 1GB connections? How do you allow for the 10GB connection speeds, is a switch mandatory or can I buy a faster router?

RAID is not backup
@MK-Creator9 ай бұрын
Thanks for sharing. I would actually argue that it actually depends… as I tried to explain, different RAID do the file “placements” very different. If you do use a RAID that places the same file on more than one drive is actually a kind of backup of the other. That’s why you use a RAID so you don’t lose the data if one (or possible more) drive-s fail… But I would always recommend an off-site backup to be safe and to have a real backup.
