    My problem is there are no ethernet cable that goes there... I won't fish a cable from my basement to the first floor.

    Qnap TS-253a vs Synology DS-216+

    Yeah... the problem is that a 4 bay nas is near 1k vs 400$ for a 2 bay... I can't justify spending that much for a NAS when all I want to do is sharing medias files from a unified place. The DS-216+ can have more RAM (warranty void) if needed. Its really about the N3150 vs the N3050 for a 250$...

    Qnap TS-253a vs Synology DS-216+

    If I understand it correctly... you configure 2x RAID1. 1x Raid1 for the OS (2 hard drive) 1x Raid1 for the actual data (2 hard drive) for a total of 4 hard drives. Bu why just the OS for 2 drive? I must not understand something...? The os should not take much space, so its kinda waste of space no?

    Qnap TS-253a vs Synology DS-216+

    Oops, my title is misleading, I mean TS-253a vs the DS-216+. In my last paragraph, I was talk about the good model, my title is a fail on my side, excuse me. The title is now changed. Why you don't consider 2 bay NAS as a true NAS solution? With harddrive that can go up to 8tb per drive, I only...

    Qnap TS-253a vs Synology DS-216+

    Hi everyone, I'm gonna pull the trigger on one of the two models: TS-253a from QNAP or the DS-216+ from Synology. I'm a debutant in the NAS world, so I wonder which one is more easy to understand and configure. Also, the TS-253A is about 250$ more, is it worth it or the DS-216+ will do the job...

    QNAP HS-251 1g slow on HDS

    Hi, I have bought a QNAP HS-251, 1g model and I find that the NAS is very sluggish when I try to access my music on Kodi via Hybrid Desk Station. I have more than 60k song in my library, maybe that cause the issue? I'm just wondering if its normal that the NAS should be very slow? Maybe i'm...
