Not a bad idea but no, I have a pole barn that I ran 22o to, and while I was at it I ran a few Cat6 lines. I threw a computer together for use out there, and also setup some storage on it that's network accessible. It's just a single HDD and I have a failure (Stuff was backed up) and it was...

So an update... I purchased and setup a QNAP TS-451 with 4 3TB Red drives. Static IPs were set to match my network configuration as well as forwarded ports. I did the Raid 10 for now, I couldn't figure out how to set it up with 2 drives backing up the other 2 like the one poster did, but I don't...

Thanks for the assistance. I am aboard with your train of thought as it seems the forum is full of such stories. So back to the original question about how the QNAP and Synology rebuild drives after a failure..

Hello all, this is one of the more informative forums I've seen, so I figured I'd settle here..:-) So I want a NAS and am looking at 3 models... Drobo 5N, QNAP TS-451 and Synology DS416. The reason I mentioned the DROBO is due to the fact that if a drive fails, you can replace it with any...
