    Newbie: Synology or DLink NAS

    Synology or QNAP. Very similar. They are best in class. file transfers via LAN and WAN via standard TCP/IP have lots of error detection and correction. Most common data loss is due to consistent 3-2-1 backups. RAID is not a backup.

    Synology nas ds1815+ or qnap tsv-471

    transcoding on the fly adds a lot to nas price. versus batch transcoding on a fast pc

    DS212 Intermittent LAN

    with the low prices of USB3 drives these days, 3 -2-1 BACKUP!

    Script error with firefox

    This is what I get right now (11Jun16 21:37 PT) Firefox can't find the server at secure-ds.serving-sys.xn--urstingscript-9q16e.

    Synology nas ds1815+ or qnap tsv-471

    Your recordings are already 4K but have to be transcoded down to a smaller format?

    Synology nas ds1815+ or qnap tsv-471

    call or email Synology sales. Data is data, 4K or not, presuming no on-the-fly transcoding (which isn't practical at 4K).

    Synology nas ds1815+ or qnap tsv-471

    Have you used the demo web sites for these vendors? Read the user forums? 4K streaming needs wired gigabit ethernet, not WiFi to TVs. Without more specifics, either will be fine. The differences are slight.

    Asustor AS3104T Hanging State?

    Protection fault sounds to me like a bug in the software that could be coding error or data used by the code that is incorrect and the code doesn't detect/cope with bad data (config or state data, not file data). Just speculating. Only way to know is to reset to factory condition and reinstall...

    Synology NASes are more expensive than DIY

    besides cost, DIY has a dearth of features as compared to Synology or QNAP

    Run DSM 5 from open source on any x86

    @Geberious Do you forasee a Xoebikigt boot for DSM6? I ran DSM6 on x86 but it isn't supported (yet?) and would not create a volume. DSM5 is OK as you know.

    is Synology right for my needs (vs DUI)? Network/NAS update

    I ran XPenology on a USB boot flash drive. Then loaded up and ran DSM5. Ran fine. Ran fast on older Dell E6500 laptop. I don't run it now, as my DS212 is fine for my needs.

    What backup software do you use?

    backup: 3-2-1 strategy. Read about that?

    a little confused about backup methods

    I don't use Synology's PC program for backup; I use Acronis True Image for drive images stored on the NAS, and for work in process, I use Centered Systems Second Copy.

    What backup software do you use?

    OP was asking about backup of the NAS, rather than backup PC files to NAS, as I read it. Carbonite will not permit a NAS backup under their affordable plans. And TB of data is too much to backup to an internet "cloud" service. Via WEBDAV, rsync, and other common NAS utilities you can backup...

    Run DSM 5 from open source on any x86

    Anything similar for QNAP? I found a site with their obligatory source code. But not a boot program to use the standard release binaries as done for DSM.
