    Bought the Qnap TS-451 - Which Drives?

    OK, Found the HGST 3TB NAS drives for $124 ... Thinking I should probably jump on that price ... Of course if I do the dang things will probably go on sale :)

    QNAP TS-451 - RAID 10?

    OK, I understand very little about RAID and the more I read the less I seem to know! Now it sounds like RAID 5 is a no go since it is more vulnerable. RAID 6 sounds like the safest but a huge hit on both write and rebuild speed compared to RAID 10. Since I would also backup the QNAP to a USB...

    Bought the Qnap TS-451 - Which Drives?

    OK, I appreciate all of the feedback that you all have given me. HGST 3TB is on my list now in addition to the WD 3TB drive. A little concerned about the latter from quite a few reports of bad drives. I know PO'd people are a lot more apt to comment about a bad experience than a happy person...

    changed up wireless bridge/router location etc Going insane.

    changed up wireless bridge/router location etc Going insane.

    The Ubiquiti M5's are a high quality product from the research I have done. they have a dual polarity 13dbi directional antenna. They are both mounted high, have direct line of site and have great signal. I don't see them as the problem. I'm thinking it must be the router move from in front of...
