    NAS system

    For me a NAS such as Synology provides better protection over a single ext HDD should it fail. With the NAS and multiple bays, there is better chance you recover. there are many features that come with the NAS, tools, external access, hosting webspace and more. However for a true backup you...

    Cheapest Cloud Storage ? Onedrive etc

    Are you using Cloud Sync for this, or is there a better app within Synology?

    one.com

    I recently cancelled with one.com as no longer needed to host. Never had an issue with them, using a number of services including hosting, ftp etc. Was quick and reliable for me. Was with them for 7yrs.

    Drive space mysteriously decreasing

    10.5Gb is the folder, then broken down across the sub-folders. Defo looks like an app is caching some data in the nikon subfolders....

    NAS / backup / storage questions and solutions

    starting to sound like a sales rep now, but.... you have a number of options with synolgy - such as Clouds Station (by Synolgy) or OwnCloud, or bit torrent sync. Or you can have google drive or similar sync to the server. For Windows OS you could try AeroFS etc

    NAS / backup / storage questions and solutions

    Not sure how it all works, but been trouble free since i installed, well over the 6 month mark now. I see what you are saying allowing BIOS to do the RAID - are you installing a RAID card also? I'm relying on synology as the main OS - but i think i read you may have VM's etc so the option you...

    Drive space mysteriously decreasing

    could be Windows10 upgrade auto-downloading somewhere? I agree with afasoas - WinDirStat will point you in the right direction... https://windirstat.info/

    NAS with plex

    Hi John, I think i jumped on your other post earlier.. I have the HP 54L - G7, wiith Xpenolog installed. Got it running 3 x 3TB HDD's and 1 x 1TB HDD for my security camera. I've thrown 6Gb of RAM in it - but this was when i was running Win Server 2008 r2. Xpenology doesnt seem as hungry...

    NAS / backup / storage questions and solutions

    fair enough - glad you got it going. I went with Synology SHR when i first did mine, only as if you are to add more drives in the future (as I did) you get allocated alittle more space than the standard RAID's. https://www.synology.com/en-us/support/RAID_calculator

    NAS / backup / storage questions and solutions

    If you are going to be running Synology - not sure if it will read the built in RAID/BIOS setup? Synology have there own version of RAID "Synology Hybrid RAID" - which can be selected when you plug in the HDD's via the Synology GUI.

    Beginner D3300 - Lens comparisons (before purchasing!)

    Hi Paul - completely agree, I have moved over from Canon where I had the 1000D, 18-55, and 55-250mm lenses. I should have probably mentioned on the first post, off to Florida in the summer, one of the reasons I'd prefer the one lens rather than swapping and changing around..
