Yes, please do a setup video for this. Have never used a NAS, so it would be interesting to learn about.

[@Britec09]

Coming soon!

[@Sonya_Makepeace]

Cheaper to build your own server from an old PC. I have a PC I got from a company I worked for, Free of charge. Running Ubuntu server (free) with 12 TB of storage. The only cost was the hard drives.

[@jimyohe100]

@@Britec09 It would be nice to see that setup video soon. I'm particularly interested in User and User Group account setup.

[@petermunch6820]

Hi Brian. Yes to a full setup guide for dummies. ☺

[@r.d.1991]

Salty at £630. I priced up a mini-itx pc NAS option for a similar price. Good review as usual though. Happy New Year to you Bri. 🎉

[@Britec09]

Happy new year!

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Nice video Brian! Thanks for sharing it with us! and Happy New Year!💖👍😎JP

[@Britec09]

Happy new year!

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

@@Britec09 Thanks!

[@BryanHilliard]

Great informative video! Yes please would like to see a step-by-step set up and all the different types of setting up a NAS and what's the difference and what would be best would be great to see

[@Britec09]

Will do Bryan, Happy New Year

[@curts.8940]

Awesome video Brian! Really appreciate the information you have provided.

[@Britec09]

Glad it was helpful!

[@US_Joe]

As usual 👍 Brian. BTW: Happy New Year my friend from Joe across the pond.🥂🍾

[@Britec09]

Happy new year!

[@juanroldan4379]

This one looks great. I'm very tempted to get one. It would be a lot of fun setting this up.

[@Britec09]

You should!

[@MrSamadolfo]

i have a nas hard drive for my game library, its really nice that i can launch everything, i picked up a bunch more title for Christmas plus Epic was nice to give away 17 titles

[@gott2641]

That drive will be a bottleneck to many of your games if it's rated at 5400 RPM like many of the network-storage drives are.

[@MrSamadolfo]

🙂 yes, its a 7200rpm

[@darthbubba866]

Thanks for introducing us to the Terramaster brand. Does it allow JBOD rather than RAID?

[@Keith.W]

Nice little NAS

[@Britec09]

Yes, thanks

[@polarfamily6222]

Terramaster is usually a good option to check if you need storage.

[@Britec09]

They are a great NAS

[@garybarnacle808]

If you use it as a plex media server, does it suport hardware transcoding.

[@kefka900]

Was very hard to find the CPU model, Seems to be the i3-N300, about the same speed as an 4790k, i5-8400 or a ryzen 1500x

[@petermunch6820]

Hi Brian Is it possible, to by a mistake, open up your NAS for everyone on the internet?

[@chucksw1]

This is the same price as a Synology 5-bay DiskStation DS1522+ would the synology be better?

[@dmac2850]

Synology software is better

[@SypherTA]

Bro i need help ! My pc works , sometimes. In the morning i can turn it on. But if a shutdown it it wont turn on. When i press the power button it makes the click sound but wont turn on. For it to turn on again i have to wait about 5 hours. If i try to turn it on before it , it will reset ill have to wait again ! My ups works, but when power goes out the pc turn of immediately. Im ssure the ups works. If i go somewhere i have to keep it on. Sometimes the automatic windows repair things comes when i turn it on. And it gets frozen there, there is nothing i can do . Can you tell me where the problem may be happening ? pls help ! 😢 help pls 🙏

Is it cheaper than paying for Google Drive? By how much?

Hola, se puede instalar un proxy inverso en esta serie?

[@KrissBartlett]

I went to that web page you listed no price on that unit on the page ???????

[@r34n1m8n]

That internal USB does NOT contain the operating system; it's simply an initialization bootloader, the wizard of which you went through in your video. TOS 5.1 currently gets installed across all drives during initialization. The forthcoming TOS 6 will introduce the ability to user define a system drive for those whom would prefer to have it on the fastest possible storage media.

[@lawrenceallwright7041]

I was just about to comment "I'm not sure that I'd be happy with the OS running on a USB stick" so thanks for clearing that up, @r34n1m8n

[@larsjohansen821]

First of all Happy New Year. You mention 4x 18TB which combined is up to 72TB. How do you make it 88TB? Quite the powerful NAS, but at quite the price as well. This NAS seems more aimed at small businesses rather than private users. This is also more what it appears to be when looking at the page linked for it.

[@Britec09]

The NAS takes a max of 88TB and also, if you want the best, you got to pay.

[@larsjohansen821]

@@Britec09 Ok, in the link for it and in the video it's mentioned as max 18TB disks rather than the 22TB 88TB max would be. This is why i mentioned it. Whether it's the best or not is something that can always be discussed, but from the specs it does look to be the most powerful one and i think we all know that usually comes with a big price tag

[@concernednewfie]

Sadly, I only own a the non NAS D4-300. No nas, just a SATA drive enclosure. My back is a water tight bag containing a 10, 8, 4 and a few 3 tb hard drives hidden deep in a apartment storage room locker. Maybe my next one will be a NAS, but for now, I just use their older model. 42 TB storage with a spare bay still unused. Possibly in a few years, 30TB drives will be cheap, then I can get 3 of those and make a raid, and then the D4-300 will also be in a water tight bag as backup of the backups.

[@TheNeilo-Audiosound]

I wish I knew more about these storage drives as I use about 8 portable 3.5 Hard drives for my storage ranging from 5TB units down to 2tb plus I’ve never worked out how to access them wirelessly to watch my movies or listen to my music files through my 4K TV🤷‍♂️so I must find out more about Networking. Thanks for the upload as your always very informative🙏

[@Britec09]

A separate drive is not a safe backup

[@one4utwoc]

Nice NAS, but I still prefer QNAP products.

[@Britec09]

Fair enough!

[@Cjay-ItSolution]

❤🎉

[@Britec09]

Thanks

[@RockyAllenLane]

isn't the Asustor Flashstor 12 Pro FS6712X - 12 Bay All-SSD NAS Storage, Quad-Core 2.0GHz, 12 M.2 SSD Slots, 10GbE Port a superior NAS? Just asking.

[@Britec09]

That has Intel Celeron N5105 CPU + 4 GB of fast and efficient DDR4-2933 RAM so no, its not as powerful

[@proteva2843]

Can I use this for a cctv system?

[@Britec09]

Yes

[@stephenamos7445]

Why is it probably the best? What's the hdmi for?

[@Britec09]

HDMI is for display

[@stephenamos7445]

@@Britec09 to display what? A plex client? Is there an actual os that can be seen not via http? It feels like you didn't cover anything at all and just created more questions than anything. Why is it "probably the best"? It seems identical to qnap and synology, how is it better than those? I know you got one for free but at least a little detail would be nice.

[@Britec09]

If I covered everything in full, the video would be over a hour long, then people will complain. Also, the HDMI is so you can connect to a TV or Monitor without the need of a computer. Hope this helps.

[@Paulzpc]

I read that too fast I thought it said Toastmaster, I thought, oh he's reviewing toasters, that's different, my bad Brian.

[@Britec09]

No problem

[@johngoard8272]

Hm not for me Brian and I am wondering how the average individual requires that much storage space except if it was for a small office for example.

[@OlettaLiano]

To say, Everyone Needs This, is a bit of a stretch. I for one would have no use for a NAS. The only thing I have to store is my writing and my audiobooks. I currently have two 2GB spinning rust drives in RAID 1, plus cloud storage, and a 1TB external M.2 drive. I have no movies, photos, or anything else that would require a ton of bulk storage. Still, it looks like an awesome device for those who could use it. Happy New Year.

[@Britec09]

Thanks for watching. Happy New Year

[@magoolew5131]

The only thing I see wrong with this unit is that it doesn't have any way to lock in the drives so they aren't stolen. Someone could remove a bay and take the drive and put the empty drive bay back in before anyone can notice. That seems like a security risk to me.

[@Cyba_IT]

Put it in a locked cabinet or cupboard 😊

[@theboss100]

US$699.99 😅😅😅😅😅

[@ObakuZenCenter]

I know lol. It's a joke.

[@Beejay2946]

Not at $1,035 aussie dollars I don't (need it). :(

[@Britec09]

Depends how much you value your data

[@martinjjnoagenda5536]

I quit using RAID on NAS. Want to know what happens when that cute little PCB quits working? I once found out the hard way. When the RAID controller stops, you will have a bad day losing everything. A NAS is not a backup device no matter the RAID settings. (Create a backup of your NAS also.)

[@gott2641]

Sort along the same thought process many have thinking RAID is a form of backup-- it is meant for redundancy, and not a form of backing up crucial data.

[@Britec09]

I said in video you can plug in an external hard drive to backup your nas volume which is a backup of your nas. Please watch the whole video

[@giornikitop5373]

no, these nas boxes have nothing to do with raid controllers. they use linux software raid. even if the device breaks, you can still connect the drives to a computer and recover the data as long as you know what type of raid it is and the correct disk sequence. but, yes, nas is not a backup and you should have copies.

[@ObakuZenCenter]

Way overpriced for storage.

[@Britec09]

Depends how much you value your data, for me its a no brainer

[@Yandarval]

Really, only two and six bays should be the minimums for a modern NAS. Two just for the basic mirror. Four is effectively RAID 5. No matter what the OS or file system is doing. Its still a single disk redundancy.

[@Britec09]

4 is perfect for a lot of people
