    I have a Synology NAS that I use mainly for backups and as a Plex server. I'd love to see a video on other uses for a NAS in a home or home office setting. Also, if you have any good video recommendations for linking one NAS to another over the internet and/or a VPN for remote backups, I'm all ears (because the Synology documentation on setting something like that up is limited/poor).

    Speaking of price to performance for google's data backup or making your own, you could spend very little money by just using an old PC that may already have enough storage in it and then you could make a NAS.

    Great video, can you do one on how to set up a NAS so I can use it from anywhere. I use a Terramaster cloud storage solution and I want to be able to access my files from anywhere using my file browser.... Anywhere (not using the crappy app the company provides) with that being said, many of the tutorials are confusing for setting up port forwarding. I want it to be a TRUE cloud so if I go on vacation I can back up my phone wherever I am.

    When you automatically backup a phone , does it back up “everything” every time , or just the stuff that is “new” ?
    Backing up everything every time seems like it would eat up a lot of storage and have the same items backed up many times.

    need your suggestion, I have remote server (AWS) and personal computer. I am looking for something to which i can store data from both systems, Google drive, One drive all these things are cloud stuff only best for sharing purpose. In Remote server (AWS), storage capacity is limited, more i ask for storage it will keep increasing the prices. As per your what is the best way to have good storage capacity, which can be used to store from both systems and I dont have to look back to AWS and should not be asking for more storage.

  • @isleseayou
    @isleseayou 2 года назад +1

    I'm not a NAS expert but it would seem that you could stream saved movies off your NAS even if the internet is down because your wifi and router still have power. Cloud service wouldn't work. If this is true that would be a nice benefit.

    Now would something like that be possible without a internet connection. But with a router/main computer? Cause I would be interested in sharing all of my movies. With all of my laptops/computer and kids chromebooks. Not saying it wouldn't be necessary at some point to have. But it would be nice to know I could share with my kids in their rooms.

    • @billgoldbergmania
      @billgoldbergmania 2 года назад

      A NAS doesn't need to have internet access. It works fine on a local network. Obviously you'll need internet access to download apps to run on it or cloud backups. If you want your nas as a plex server, hook it up, install plex and then take it offline. It will still work for your home network.

    whats confusing me is I see some of them say, this one has 6 GB DDR3L of memory. Why does the NAS need memory if all it does is hold hard drives

    • @billgoldbergmania
      @billgoldbergmania 2 года назад +2

      It doesn't just hold drives. It's small computer. It runs an operating system and you can run apps on it. Say a video server, then the nas can stream all the videos to any device you want. You could run a http server on it, or a database, or a smarthome app, etc. It needs memory for that, even just for serving files.
