A microwave link is what you need https://www.solectek.com/6-38-ghz-microwave?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2taMmr_84AIVmA4rCh2CqQkMEAAYAiAAEgK7IPD_BwE

QNAP NAS at least support migration of the HDD from a failed QNAP enclosure to a new QNAP enclosure. Lots of limitations on the source enclosure versus the new enclosure in doing the migration but the encryption itself does not appear to be linked to the hardware and does not inhibit the...

Lots of RAM, a fast processor and SSD NAS drives ( or SSD tiering) are all needed to get the best out of a 10 GbE NAS. You also need a lot of NAS users or a PC with equivalent specs as the NAS to load a NAS up to the 10 GbE limit

Yes I think you would need to have an identical NAS enclosure to plug the drive into to easily recover an encrypted hard drive from a failed NAS enclosure. Other recovery methods are much more complex. Automatcally backing up the encrypted NAS to another encrypted NAS or external drive would...

Yes I encrypt on my PC with DiskCryptor and then store on the NAS.

I use a QNAP TS-231 in Raid 1 with WD 2TB red drives. Its about 4 years old and has been totally reliable. It can max out a gigabit ethernet link during back up so plenty fast enough for my use and with 4/8/16 TB hard drives available these days I can expand storage if i need without...

Yes i use Macrium Reflect on my PC's to do an automatic encrypted daily backup to the NAS. Other files that I just hold on the NAS I encrypt with DiskCryptor if needed, most of the NAS centrally stored files are music and movie files I dont encrypt. The NAS is then backed up automatically to...

I use my Macrium Reflect backup software to encrypt my backups before they go to the NAS rather than the NAS encryption. There are plenty of utilties that enable you to read a EXT2/3/4 file system on a windows computer if you need to recover the backup files from the disks if the NAS unit...

good quality encryption of what you put in the cloud before uploading and 2 factor verification to access whats in the cloud puts you much more than one pass word away.

All this is marketing hype until someone develops and sells some decent 3x3 or 4x4 usb 3 or laptop card ac wifi clients.

If youre main aim for the NAS is to back up your home computers then no need for high speed of Raid 10. Raid 1 should be fine if using decent backup software. The total backup strategy should follow the 3:2:1 guide. Back up to the NAS and then back up the NAS to an offsite storage. I use...

The family PC's do a monthly full image backup and daily incremental image backup to my QNAP NAS using Macrium Reflect. The folders they are backed up to on the NAS are synchronized daily with my OneDrive account with a free 1 TB with my MS Office subscription using the hybrid backup sync app...

Yes I can get 25MB/s or about 220 Mb/s on AC (2x2 866 mb/s connection) between some of the devices on my network but on others I get only 2 MB/s OR 18Mb/s. this variation is not due to the devices themselves as the the low speed pairings work faster when wired or on N. it is how they react to...

After doing many test on my current Netgear D6300 router connecting in N 300 mps mode versus AC 866 mps mode I have concluded that N is more stable and on average gives better data throughput speeds for my needs currently. Sometimes I could get the AC mode to run at 25 MB/s data throughput but...

I have been doing some packet capture with wireshark to try to understand more about what is going on that is slowing the AC file copy transfer to the Qnap versus the other options such as using the N wireless. I have discovered that with the 16 MB/s N wifi copy, the transfer runs a NBSS...
