THE Complete Beginner NAS Guide

[@Hellbending]

7:20 - I’d have to disagree, the most common type of RAID I run into is definitely Shadow Legends

Well done! It's challenging communicating something technical to a beginner/introductory level, especially when almost every term or concept is new to the person. I try to help my mom with computer and phone stuff over the phone and it's painful. Mom, click on a folder. What's a folder? Oh lort it's going to be a long night.

[@foreverealm]

THANK YOU for presenting The Basics.

Its ridiculous how good the production quality is on this video versus how low the views and subscriber count is. I'm actually shocked when I finished and expected thousands thousands of comments and see barely any, crazy this was super helpful! Wanted to jump into getting a NAS that was super intimidated by the technical jargon until I watch this and realize they are actually pretty easy from a non-technical perspective

[@user-xw4mu6nz4t]

I imagine NAS is just quite technical

[@qcnck2776]

Thanks for a clear and straight forward explanation.👍

[@lexshizumdot2115]

This is a great video. I don't know much about computers and networking, but I'm interested in these topics, and for once, thanks to your explanations, I can understand what all these terms and notions mean, and start considering if I'm able and willing to dive into all this. As said in the comments, it's not an esay thing to be able to simply and efficiently explain these notions to beginners, and you've managed it really really well. You have a new subscriber !

Hi Will, I have a question, a few actually just to clear some confusion on my part: Does the internet connection speed you have directly affect the transfer speeds when you're using files from a NAS? Example: I'm at my office editing a video on Premiere pro that is using files off of a NAS in my office. Will it run faster if my PC and the NAS are on the same Network? (Keeping in mind that the NAS and my PC both support 10GbE connections) Also, if I'm at home and the NAS is at my office, will there be any effect in speeds if I have a slower internet connection at home?

[@notreallyme425]

Here’s the short answer: your network speed will only be as fast as the SLOWEST device, network or network interface between the NAS and the device you’re using.

Damm this is helpful thanks! :)

Thank you for the great video! If I understood RAID if I have: - two 16TB HDD in RAID 1; my total available space is 16TB; - four 4 TB HDD in RAID 5, my total available space is 12 TB. Is it possible to set up a NAS where I can create different accounts for each family member so that each one has its "own space" that the other cannot access and a space that is instead shared for everyone? My daughter ran out of space on her iPhone so I want to set up Photo Prism so she can offload the picture there without me or anyone else having access. Sorry for the question, but I started looking into home labs the other day, and a NAS will be one of the first things I would like to implement. Thank you again for the great work, you gained a subscriber!

I have a 4 bay terramaster nas f4-424. i mirrored the first two 8tb iron wolf hard drives.i then added a 12tb hard drive in third bay.i created a second volume but it doesn't show up in my plex only the volume 1 appears.can u or anyone give me advice on what to do. im a complete novice and i would be very greatfull for any

[@coreyrachar9694]

very helpful, thank you.

[@dancarpenter419]

What 2 bay NAS do you recommend for home use only, backing up my family photos ?

Thank you for sharing all of your video's I have built a Home PLEX Media NAS using a Synology 916+ 4 bay drive, 4 @14TB WD enterprise 7200 drives. I have been tweaking my PLEX settings due to intermittent freeze frame. I have a massive library of 30TB+ running on Raid 5. My next step is to run a cat 8 directly to my PS5 (Internet @ 350M). With the cost of SDD's becoming more reasonably priced I'm considering building a 100% SSD NAS? The Synology DS1812+ 8 bay or DS2415 12 Bay With the cost effectiveness of smaller (Samsung 8G SSD $368) makes it more feasible. So finally to my question, have you ever build a 100% SSD NAS? and do you see any issues with the build concept? Thank you for your time and I'm looking forward to your next video's Rick

[@robertweintraub5418]

Can you back up a MacBook Pro to a synology NAS remotely over the internet and what would be the best way to do it? Thanks

[@EricBarstowFilms]

So, for the sake of straight up storage, that is, backing up large files for longevity, is it better to get a NAS or to just go with an external HD that has the same storage capacity?

[@satish1012]

Om my god, Now i am all relating to cloud terminology Like Storage EBS Volume etc. I am seeing physically so i can relate more. Do you have also SAN ?

[@Lincplus-Tech]

Hello, can you help test the LincStation N1 NAS?

[@aaronmcfarlin7609]

Great Video. Can you explain why I would need an additional back up a RAID configured NAS, if the whole point of RAID is redundacy in case of drive failure?

[@Guishan_Lingyou]

Something could happen to the whole NAS. There could be a fire, someone could steal it... If your data is important to you, it is a good idea to store it in multiple physical locations in addition to having redundancy in terms of drives.

[@leogaming83]

Great video

[@Pollyanna_Art.Design]

Very helpful.thank you. What happens when if there is an internet outage..is there any way to access those files stored on the NAS?

[@SpaceRexWill]

yes completely. The NAS is locally accessible and does not require an internet connection

[@Pollyanna_Art.Design]

@@SpaceRexWilloh great! I was a bit afraid I wouldn’t be able to access them without internet! Thank you 😊

[@pleeman]

Does Synology make direct connect RAID? Fast USB or Thunderbolt I just want a SOLID company to make a decent direct connect RAID of 40-100 TBs! Can you recommend any? (must work with Ventura) or is the reason NAS kills direct connect is that if you are connected local over 10 G Ethernet you won't miss direct connect?

[@TxxT33]

*weeps in 3 external HDDs" But seriously I need this.
