I have 4 of their enterprise units in production at my day job, a 4bay on my desk and an unsupported version of their OS running on an old computer. - I love Synology.
Fantastic video, thank you. I don't need anything near this sophisticated yet, but it's good to know how it would be configured if needed in the future. 👌
Ok, Pretty Nice. I'm still loving the vibe i get from your videos. I can honestly just sit back, relax and pay attention. Keep e'm coming.
:D Thanks
I run everything from vinyl. I can vary the disc speed too. 16rpm for text file, 33rpm for video 45 rpm for gifs and 78rpm for audio. By adjusting the speed I find I don't need multiple bays as when I start running low I slow down the spped with the pitch control.
If you choose this method too, I suggest using direct drive or idler drive types. The belt drive systems can cause read errors due to minor speed fluctuations.
harhar
Hahahahahahahhahahahhahahhahahahhahahahhahahhahaha
Im actually trying to get into a nas set up for personal and business use, i would love more vids. Love your vids though
Hey, good timing!
:D
GOOD ONE BRO KEEP IT UP I AM THINKING ABOUT SETTING UP A NAS AND THANKS FOR THE VIDEO .
Dont forget the seagate wolf series. Rocking 4 10TBs in mine, yes pricey ASF, but well worth it! They even have a 12TB drives now.
Love my Synology NAS! I went with the 5 bay version with 6TB NAS drives.
Nice!
Another fan-less enterprise switch is Ubiquiti's EdgeSwitch Lite 24. It's a managed switch with 24 Gigabit ports and has 2 SPF+ cages.
Now you can get a used Cisco Nexus 3048, Catalyst 4948E, or the older Catalyst 4948-10Ge now. Remove one of the fans if noise is an issue. Which isn't a big deal in the Nexus unit.
Also using LACP (aka Bonding) helps give you more bandwidth. So you could get 20 gigs to the network. There are other bonding modes available as well.
great video. good knowledge
Nice video, I'm looking forward to getting my DS918+ in the mail. I don't need the kind of space you do so I hope it'll work out. I also like how this one has the spot on the bottom for (2) M.2 drives. We use a LOT of Synology products at work DS916's and a few rack mounts and they have all been the cats meow. I really can't think of a better nas experience. I know that you are in a apartment, but if you ever get a house you could replicate your setup and toss stuff off site in a garage or something. That's the only thing that I worry about, is the primary box going up in flames from a disaster or something. Glad I found your channel.
Yep off-site backup is very important and something I'm still working on. Hoping to get some cold storage archived at my parents' house - though it becomes difficult to pick and choose when you have so much data.
Yeah, I hear you on that. I have an older 2 bay Synology that I'll use to toss backups from the big guy to this, maybe toss it in the basement. I can't even imagine what you'll need to do... Sounds like you have a LOT of data and WAN links are only so fast... Tossing data on big externals and doing the cold storage like you mentioned would work pretty well, just rotate every once and a while maybe...?
I just bought the 1820+. I put in 2 m.2 1TB drives for cache and tossed in 16GB RAM and a 10GB card. Absolutely love the Synology. I also run a 10G Microtik switch for my core, two Microtik 5 port 10G as edge switches with CAT 8, and put a 10G card in all my rigs. I transfer to the NAS at about 6G and copy from it to my Rigs at the full 10G. Aggregation on the Synology is cool if that's all you have, but nothing beats a 10G card
If you're strapped for cash you can install xpenology on any PC, works pretty great and if you need only 4 bays max I recommend buying a HP Proliant microserver gen8 and doing just that, can't be beat for the price.
Awesome video!
Thanks for watching!
Great video ! Do you have battery back up for the NAS and computers ?
Very cool!
Thanks for watching!
What game is on in the background over your right shoulder ? Awesome video btw
You'd have to give up one or two drive bays, or add another 5-bay expansion, but you COULD do a SSD cache and still have the 10GB network. I did this with my 1817+ and it's noticeable, but probably not as efficient as the on-board PCI-E card.
True!! Something I might consider for the long run/for expansion 2. Currently what's on it isn't used long-term enough for caching to matter.
Nice Vid.
Just a quick question what nic card are you using in your Synology?
wow that's CRAZY!
WHOO!
Looks good Adam! What are you doing now as far as off-site redundancy? In other words, do you have plans in place for if something were to happen to the whole unit at your location, do you have backups off-premise, for example, at a friend or family's house?
Still working on that one. Obviously duplicating this would be idea, but far too expensive for me at current time.
Currently my most crucial stuff - which is mostly family photos and etc., not actual work stuff - is getting archived to BluRays which I will store at my parents' home in temperature-appropriate area.
At some point this year-ish I will set up a smaller NAS (or re-purpose one of my older ones) to hold the basics - graphics templates, final exports of videos, etc. and just store it (unpowered/offline) over there, too. We'll see.
At the moment i'm also using a Synology NAS and a DROBO 5D. But i'm looking to upgrade my NAS and i was looking at those new QNAP NAS with TB3/USB-C/SSD/HDD and 2 10GB ethernet ports built into it. Not sure what i should look for at the moment. I also wanted a 10GB Ethernet Switch but i want a full duplex managed one with QoS, i am a bit afraid however for the noise of the fans! So again, i will need to take a good look for that!.
Anyway, it's the first time i'm on your channel and i like what i see. Do you do a lot of these sort of video's? If so, i will subscribe :-)
The External SATA drive bay limits the 5 x drives in it to having to share a SATA version 1 connection of 1.5Gbps you should NOT create a RAID volume across the internal and external drive bay, you should have 2 separate RAID groups.
I'm loving my family Synology 8 Bay NAS, it's been perfect. Heavily utilising the Web server feature along with Video Station as my Plex alternative! Good review as always Adam :)
:D Thanks!
Good to note with the M.2 support that it does NOT support Nvme drives, only M.2 SATA, so you're not missing out on a whole lot with choosing the 10gbe PCIe card over the M.2 one. The M.2 SATA can just be replaced with a standard 2.5" SSD.
True, and iirc I THINK I could've just used one of the drive bays for a normal SATA drive for caching too? but I filled them anyway haha
did the 10 g card work without any setting changes ? also same q with your computer did you drop a 10g card in connect the 2 to the switch and 10 g was working ? or did you have to configure any settings on the nas or comp?
I can't find the video where you said what Raid setup you had that failed you. I have a Terra-Master 4 bay with options of 1,5,6,or 10 raid. Which raid should I use? I have 4 8TB drives. I'm thinking raid 5. Thoughts? I would be fine with Raid 1 and have 16TB redundency. Please let me know. Nice vids by the way.
Is there anything special to setup with the switch. I've got the ASUS XG-U2008 switch and a compatible Intel RJ45 NIC for the NAS and the ROG AREION 10G NIC in the PC but only getting 1G speeds. A little more info on that would be great.
This is a really well made video, I just can't tell if it's an infomercial or if it's trying to teach me something. I think toeing the line on overt sponsored content here?
Well, it's both. All of my content has to had some educational core or there's no reason to upload it.
But it's not "covert sponsored" - I say it's sponsored everywhere.
Hey Epos, did you consider going with RAID 10 for the extra speed? Did you decide you'd rather get more storage out of your disks than speed?
That’s an insane price just for a case. I would pay for that if it included the hard drives...I’ll stay in the clouds for now until I win the lotto or they bring down the price to at least 50% off.
What're you doing to back this data up? If this device fails or something catastrophic happens, do you have an off-site backup? Asking because I have two DS1817s and intended to backup A to B(offsite), but cannot find an elegant way of running a version managed backup over WAN when dealing with terabytes of video. i.e. when I film a new project and import 250GB+ data in a day, syncing that from A to B(offsite) obviously takes forever!
Looks great thanks! would you know if the 10Gb NAS would transfer faster than sata 3 speeds? if you had ssd cache and both 10Gb ports in link bonding mode.
10 GbE can do about ~1 GigaByte /sec, given enough spindles, fast cache, etc...; SATA3 is is limited to 550 MB/sec...assuming a good SSD is the source, as a single drive will not exceed 180-200 MB/sec throughput anyway
The most frustrating part of Synology servers, are their woefully inadequate CPUs. Even my RS3614XS is not powerful enough for Plex to transcode some of my 4K video files. It’s so frustrating. I love everything else about this NAS, but the transcoding part... By the way, I use DS2415+ to back up my entire RS3614XS, and each unit has up to 2 disk failure protection. That limits each NAS to about 60TB (older HDs too), but the level of data protection is pretty high... Not to mention having my DS2415+ syncing the most critical files to Box.com 😃😃😃
It’s an absolute blast though to move video files between my PC and my RS3614XS over a 10GB connection. Just last night I was reminded again what a sweet setup I have while moving several dozen video files totaling over 8.5GB, and the entire “move” was completed in under 15 seconds! 😂😂😂😜✌🏻
I don't see the point in having 4K videos if you're going to be transcoding them in Plex.
Some models of Synology (like 1515+) are failing due to the Intel C2000 Issue. Mine died exactly 1 year from the new purchase - last week. they do have a 4 year warranty , but its a hassle when it died. make sure the model you have does not have the Intel C2000 issue.
Coincidentally my 1515+ just died last month. No power. I emailed Synology got a quick RMA and my replacement one arrived today. So I will give them big credit for support.
I have that model how to check the cpu?

How / where do you back up your NAS to? Off site?
And where do you backup your NAS offsite too? DR wise.
I wonder how many NAS the NASA must be scattering across the world..what with all the observatories and space collabs with partner nations. Whats your view on the Tiered storage from AMD on new ryzen chips , can a 2200G offer better than atom speeds for plex servers??
Is this setup good a media server setup? Reason why I ask is because I've heard that streaming high bitrate content cause buffering.
My first NAS was a QNAP, I only had issues with it. After migrating my data to a Synology NAS, I am never going back to Qnap.
I can't recommend Synology NASes highly enough. They are great, stable and work...
“Affordable”.........when given the HDDs.
Hiya an old clip I know however I have been toying with the idea of updating my system to 10GBe aswell. I have read though that the drivers for the cards for a standard O/S like Win10 or Win7 etc are practically non existent? What O/S are you using for the integration of the network? Will windows 10 pick up the cards without problems or am I looking at Server 2016 to run them on. Which defeats the object tbh for a home network and file sharing movie NAS etc?
I wish I had not bought the sinology nas as it has an Annapurna chip in it that I didn't realize at the time wouldn't do well at transcoding Plex videos. Mine came with 10 gig but never used it. Just have the 1 gig. My understanding is it wouldn't help my transcoding by switching to 10 gig port unfortunately. A shame really.
Did they fix their power problems?
correct me if im wrong. But wouldnt it be a good idea to back up your data from your synology unit to another synology unit that is offsite? that way if for some reason your house burnt down youd still have a backup?
Its awesome that synology have made data storage so reliable and simple but it still wont solve the problem of having an offsite backup :o
Yes yes offsite backup is important. This was purely about my working production network, not backup strategies..
pretty wicked
Thx
im still on just over a terabyte of storage with no network XD
WD was very Nice !!!
So i've got a 1817+ with 2 1TB SSDs cache. one of my SSDs is on it's last leg so I'd like to take this opportunity to upgrade them to 2TB SSDs. Can i do that without breaking the RAID?
Please do a speed test with two M.2 SSD as cache if possible. Your HDDs wouldn't need to work so hard when you offload media to the cache drives.
Except there's nothing I would use frequently enough to make caching make sense - this is where my editing projects go. The source footage stays here, I render cache/preview files locally and then move the projects along when done. Only small things like my graphics assets would get cached.
On my DS916+ I can already 100% saturate the gigabit connection on HDDs alone without a cache, so there's no speed test to be done. If I take out the 10gbe NIC, I'm going to hit 1gbps max regardless.
You called him wenDELL xD
Sorry if I missed it, but does anyone know what NIC was actually used in the NAS please?
I 'need' and want a NAS but I can not keep up with the electricity bill already :(
I did similar, but got a Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch 16-Port 10G. Its a bit more but way more expandable. Did you look at it?
Looks nice, but was out of my budget for now and the additional ports aren't going to be needed anytime soon.
Wow, that is such a *HEAVY* Performance hit, going for Synology - just because it is less noisy. My NAS is also quite quiet when one door away (which may or may not be possible for everyone), does suck more energy but does 700MB/s easily and even caches it in RAM when copying to or reading from it. 96GB Installed (ECC ofc).
I Thought about the Rackvariants back then - now i'm glad i did not go for them.
Actually, I'm apparently having an issue where jumbo packets/MTU size isn't saving properly and am working w/ Synology to resolve the issue. Other users of this have told me they get 700-800MB/s with it.
That really could be an issue. Jumbo Frames are really important. This explains a lot :)
I just assumed I was bottlenecked by the spinning disks, but someone brought it up and I double-checked and the settings hadn't applied and etc. Should get it resolved next week w/ support and should be seeing better speeds. Might make a brief speedtest update video if so. Will be VERY excited if so, faster is always better, haha.
Please keep us updated then. I'm eager to see improvements made by Synology so they are "worth getting again". I'm gonna stay on my overkill 19" System but my friends do not thrill over having to do stuff to get their system running :D
So are WD Reds more reliable than Seagate REDS? I heard these Seagates are really solid. But I've been a WD fan most my life.
SFP-cables? Are you using DACs or fibre?
How do you back this one up???
how fast do the drives work over 10 gigabit?
Have you tried E10M20-T1 adaptor with this?
What are the games playing in the background?
I’ve got a question, if I setup let’s say 4 500gb hard drives now(cause I’m trying to save money for now till I can upgrade later) will I be able to switch out one of the drives for a 1tb later and let it rebuild the data then once it’s done switch out the next 500gb to 1tb and so on and so on till they are all 1tb drives and have it automatically adjust the space so that I’ve got more free space to work with? Cause that’s the one issue with regular raid that I’m trying to find a better solution to.
Yes! I'm not 100% certain on the steps, but they'll have a how to doc on their site and you can expand that way!
Is raid 6 the same as the Synology raid?
Wish WD would send me 13 Red's... :(
The problem with that Synology NAS that I have is it only has 1 PCIE lane. So u either have to pick 10gbe or m.2. And u can’t get high read speeds with only a couple drives.
I never quite got along with a NAS and a Mac along with Plex and Roon (Roonlabs is rather excellent for music) ; DAS was far more stable for me. Went with Drobo 5Ds and have been happy for 5 years - really need an 8-bay DAS now though. Wonder why you didn't go with RJ45 10g card.
I already had SFP+ 10g hardware and more quickly found that silent switch w/ SFP+
Well that makes sense. Love your build bits and bobs and your plex stuff.
Thanks for watching!
hey, at 8:00 you mention the "actual network location" instead of network drive. I didn't hear that one before, care to elaborate? Or is this just a windows-thing? since I use mac
Doesn't apply to Mac. In Windows you can either "Map network drive" to a drive letter (i.e. X:) or add a shortcut to the network location (i.e. \\192.168.1.127\Share), but on Mac you just already use network locations, so it's fine.
RAID 10 GBit, 70 TByte HDD... so good so far... and what about Backups?
Still working on that haha
@@EposVox I am buying another one and sticking it at my dads place. Offsite backups.
I did that also. I bough an old and slow DS114 with a 2TB drive and it's enough for backups. It's sleeping all day so no disk wear@@nynty5
shout out to level1techs!
If Steve from Gamer's Nexus is Tech Jesus, than Wendell from Level1 is TechPapa.
Can you explain, if wd red drives is not 10gbe speedy, what the benefits out of all this
How is this 10gbe upgrade utilized
I can push/pull up to 500MB/s from the NAS, which is around 4gbps, which is not a full 10gbps but is 4x normal gigabit - still a huge upgrade for transfers and streaming my video work to my editor
1 drive can pretty much saturate a 1 GbE connection, with only 115 MB/sec typical transfer rates...; w/ 5 disks, this speed can be increased to about 4x that...; to exceed 115 MB/sec will require a faster network connection, typically 10 GbE, barring the 6 people using 2.5/5 GbE
Are you editing directly off the NAS over 10Gbe with 5400 drives?
Yes
What kind of read/write speeds are you getting? I'm looking to do a similar setup but I'm working with 4K XAVC files from an FS7 so the bitrates are as high as 600Mbp/s per video stream.
I push/pull about 3Gbps - though I believe I have a PCIe limitation w/in my NVMe SSDs causing that - the NAS is capable of higher. But plenty enough for that footage. I frequently work with 1Gbps+ footage, which is why this was necessary for me :)
Awesome, thanks for the quick reply! I'd much rather buy reds than golds.
Hey, a CRT! Wish I still had mine. What do you still use it for?
I use them for computer monitors. :P
I cannot read from a CRT for hours on end, I can see them flicker even at over 100Hz. So I was kinda happy to get rid of them back then.
But damn do Dreamcast games look beautiful via the VGA adapter on the CRT!
There's a thing about your favourite system though. PS2. They implemented the flicker fixer circuit completely wrong, so nobody used it. Because of this there wasn't that much incentive to comp into a full progressive frame buffer. So when you wish its video was less crappy... Unfortunately it's not merely a surface level mishap that they could have fixed in a later iteration of the hardware, it goes much, much deeper.
Oh yeah, it'd require a full replacement of ALL video out tech on the machine, and a hardware bob deinterlacer built-in since most games did not have progressive scan.
Try Backblaze. Even your current one may go haywire. They have B2 cloud for Nas backup. Just in case PC backup is not enough . Storage is unlimited for PC but for NAS its not but still a good solution. Just 5 bugs but getting the file might take some time based on the size. But no limit on file size yes unlimited file size. they have stored so far 500 pb.
BackBlaze cannot effectively restore multiple terabytes (nevertheless 10s of terabytes) of data. They've even said so in emails to potential customers. Therefore paying them to have my data is effectively useless and a waste of weeks of uploading.
No i agree it may be impossible. But they have option to restore the data via HDD option and you can send those HDD back to them. So its should not be a problem.
Plus i have see few uploaded 11-15 TB of data. You can try and see. I know it takes weeks. More over the entire restore is not required unless something burns or fails.
Always the option to restore a single files or folder of a project comes in handy.
It is still a simple backup solution with unlimited data backup via pc.
They have specifically sent emails saying they cannot send out enough HDDs to back up someone's 20TB and maybe 40TB
Here you go twitter.com/backblaze
I will confirm this from personal experience. I tried to upload 12TB over 18 months of MKV files and never got past 3TB without it falling over. They couldn't tell me what parts of the files that had been backed up, as with large files they break them up. Also the data that had been backed up i couldn't restore.
After investigating it with them they offered me my money back which i took. They were an awful company to deal with. I brought a cheap Synology 4bay NAS with 4 x 8tb WD Reds and have this at my parent's house and this is the backup for my Synology NAS at my house. Works perfectly and much quicker to back up to.
The cpu will not give you 10 gb transfer speeds will it?
Yes it will
My unit hard a power supply fail issue, 1815+. Communicating with there tech support was via emails and was a nightmare. I did not loose any data and ultimately they corrected my issue via a warranty replacement. But was way more painful then it should be. It may be ok for a high profile user like Eposvox but not for the individual consumer. My suggestion is to check on any company's support policy before you buy. My experience with synology left a very poor taste in my mouth.
That's sad to hear. I actually started working with Synology because I had a poor customer service experience with QNAP last year (with a review unit, no less) that cost me data loss and Synology's was great to work with.
That being said most people have wildly different experiences w/ support services for most companies, heh.
*2016. I'm realizing 2016 is no longer "last year" lol
$950 for a case, CPU, MB and 8 drive capacity? Seems a tad steep vice just building one, but, it is an attractive unit.
It just works. The software is top notch too.
That’s insane! They should include the hard drive!
What advantage are for going with 10GE SFP+ vs 10GE RJ45?
No direct advantages - it was simply cheaper for me to get the gear I needed. Lots of super cheap used SFP+ NICs on eBay, and this switch I got, etc.
Fair enough, ill reaserach some the SFP+. Were you able to find a Fanless 10GE switch thats not SFP+?
There's a few w/ 2 10g RJ45 ports like this Netgear one I have (Nighthawk Pro Gaming SX10 Switch) but none that I found w/ 4 ports.
spending more? :)
why not HGST drives?
HGST drives rock!
Have you experienced the Synology Atom chip meltdown yet, or is it still chugging along?
Never had an issue
You should let people know that if you buy one NAS, you really need to get 2 of them. Why? Because a NAS is not a backup!!!! There are many things that can and will go wrong. So the second NAS is for backup. Use rsync which most all NAS support. My backup NAS powers on 2 days a week late night so my main NAS can backup to it. In the morning it’s powered off once again. It’s automatic which makes things simple. Trying to manually backup gigs of data is not practical and you’ll give up doing it pretty fast. But if/when you lose your data, you’ll be glad you have a real backup. Raid is. It a backup. Other then say raid1. This is really all your files going on one HDD, with a clone if everything on the second drive. That is a backup. Where as raid 5 and others are not. But if you have a fire or theft of your NAS, you lose all your data. So if you can, main NAS at home, backup your NAS at home as it can be a ton of data, then bring that backup to work or a family members home, and then you can backup still using rsync from your house to the backup NAS at a remote location. Which is the best way to go. You’re not going to backup 10TB of data for example on some paid cloud service site!!! For one thing, uploading that much data would take weeks. If you have a 1TB internet cap, that would take 10 months to backup using all your cap on a backup. The cost is crazy high. Much cheaper to just get a second NAS.
But again, a NAS is not a backup unless that data is also someplace else. I have a high end Intel CPU NAS as my main NAS which is running PLEX and so forth, and then a used, almost new low end ARM CPU NAS for my backup. It works for my needs. It’s really the only practical way to go when you have Terabytes of data!!!!!!
This exactly. Off-site backup be it cloud or another synology is essential. It may be necessary to do the first big sync locally if you have bandwidth limits.
i agree with you but most people actualy think NAS is Backup but networked storage that can be accessed over the network
+SHONUFF what movies you are talking about ? 4TB ? who are you ? lol
@@Q_QQ_Q 4K content is what eats up my space and with 8K around the corner, you better plan wisely.
What content do you have in 4k ?
Why, if you are using Windows Primarly, are you saying to enable NFS? You can only mount NFS shares in Windows if you enable NFS services for Windows but still deal with NFS based permissions. This can be very confusing to the lamen who doesnt understand how NFS works. You should clarify the two when stating such.
the speed of copying video files was only 300 mb/s ??!!! Is that all this NAS can do ?
Would you still recommend a Synology today?
This is a nice setup, but surely doesn't qualify as being "on the cheap"?
Unless you mean that it's specifically "on the cheap" just for you due to sponsor freebies?
You could have the same functionality by building your own NAS from older hardware at a much cheaper price.
Here's a quote, unfortunately not mine: If RAID 5 is an oxen cart, then ZFS is the Space Shuttle". With that, you already know everything you need to know not to entrust 80 TB to any NAS; instead, you will have to go FreeBSD, quality hardware + ECC RAM.
It runs BTFS and this is why I left the Free community. Arrogant and condescending comments and false REQS. ECC is not required.
78 terabytes? Awesome
HELL YEAH
Real men buy random crap off ebay then struggle through the build process then make videos pretending to know what they were doing all along. lolol
Yeah no :P
Damn right! hahaha
Lol, F that.. I've been looking at a Synology box because I have done it the hard way and never want to again. Still have a server setup with a few VMs running, but much like EposVox here, I want the most simpleton thing for my data.
Sooo fucken true!
OMG Yes!
It supports Plex server! How dare you gloss over that X.X
But yeah, it’s very nice. Running an 1812+ since 2013. It’s a PITA to clean, though.
Plex will run on any OS regardless of where the back end sits.....
@@williscooper7750 Not true, Plex doesn't run on certain Synology NAS without Intel processors.
@@mattmcmhn That is not true, unless Intel has bought out Marvel Armada inbedded CPUs (which I do not believe they have) it does not require Intell processors on Synology NAS as I can run it on mine running a MARVELL Armada 385
@@mattmcmhn Besides my statement still holds to the OS regardless of where the backend sits. So shhhh little boy.
@@williscooper7750 I didn't say Intel was required, I said certain models without Intel processors cannot run Plex. Here is the Plex NAS compatibility list for your reference, little boy: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MfYoJkiwSqCXg8cm5-Ac4oOLPRtCkgUxU0jdj3tmMPc/htmlview?sle=true
Give me all of your Gigs!
Man i wish you were my friend lol
I have that shirt tho lol
I have a pretty much similar setup. 1817+ with 8x12TB helium datacenter drives with a 517 (5x10TB helium drives) and the 10G card hooked to my ubiquiti switches. The big issue was off-site backup... and TBH the only solution I found was to use my old 1815+ and two 513 expansion bays filled with every 4TB+ HDD I had from previous storage builds, fill it using rsync locally and ship it to my parents place. I then use a VPN and synology's sharesync to sync them every night (the VPN is required as Sharesync via synology quickconnect is throttled to 1mbit). I also do an LTO tape backup that I keep off-site every few months just in case a disaster occurs and a mass deletion gets synced or similar. Really wish synology would come out with a card like QNAP sells with both M.2 and 10G ethernet, I'd like cache even just to reduce the HDDs thrashing every time I read/write.
Yeah I'm gunna have to just use another NAS for offsite at some point. Annoying
DON'T RAID your internal drives with the external drives.. it's a disaster in the making. If you loose the external unit, even a power drop or a cable knocked out, you'll loose the ENTIRE RAID array!
Meso Phyl lol. Ok. Try it and see. It’s true. the controller sees the loss of all of the drives in the external enclosure and will crash the RAID filesystem as it thinks all the drives have died..
Have you tried this with SHR or is it just with conventional RAID?
@@SwampySi Actually you're wrong, he specifically states in the video that he's using SHR not RAID 10/5/etc, which means in the incredibly unlikely event that he loses the external unit then the system will recognise the loss of access to the unit and the data held on it will be inaccessible until it's reconnected. NB: the expansion units are specifically designed for the external drives to be raided with the internal drives, this is data centre tech, your argument is like saying data centers should all stop using SANs because the shelves connect together lol.
very nice.....unfortunately these units cost a fortune!😫
INB4 Intel Atom C2538 blows up within a year.
You should check out Ubiquiti switches. They have some 10g switches for super cheap. ubnt.com
The only one that would replace my TP-Link switch for my needs costs double what I paid for the TP-Link one :P
EposVox the XG-16 has more ports. If you wanted to expand to More than 4 10g devices. The pricing is very disruptive. Just a tip!
guys, iif you want to use a nas to also record security cameras - do not buy synology - as they are greedy they only allow 2 free camera licenses (go check the cost for additional - realy expensive) qnap gives you a min of 4 free - now upgraded too 8 free if you use the qvr pro apps on the qnap
£145 for 4 lisences with synology, or 8 free with qnaps qvr pro, plus another 4 free with surveillance station so to get the same with synology would cost you £435, so yes case closed.
Good video, but in case you didn't know, the name of the company isn't 'WD'. It's 'Western Digital'.
That's the expanded name, yes, but "WD" is also what they refer to themselves as and is an acceptable thing to say. Literally the last possible thing worth nitpicking in this video holy cow.
While the formal parent company name is "Western Digital," their brand and marketing all refer to a "WD" line of products, which is more than okay to refer to.
