Hello everyone I want to set up a NAS so that I can store my films and series on it and access them from anywhere in the house (or externally). I want to run Plex on it, but I have no experience with it. I have heard that not every NAS supports transcoding for Plex (e.g. Synology DS923+). Or do I not need this at all if I watch the files with an Nvidia Shield TV? It also has Plex and maybe it transcodes it itself? The question is: Which NAS makes the most sense here? And any other tips would be greatly appreciated :)

Dear Community I am looking for an inexpensive NAS that will be used exclusively as a backup for my personal devices. The goal is to store important photos and files from PC, laptop and mobile in a RAID-1, I do not plan to run any Docker or similar on the NAS. Unfortunately I can't decide between the Synology DS223j or the Qnap TS-233. Qnap has 2Gb RAM instead of 1Gb on the Synology. That would certainly be an advantage. But what about the software, for example: which is better? I would be glad if you could help me with the purchase decision.

Hello everyone I would like to buy a Synology DS223j and would like to know if this model supports video surveillance. Perhaps someone familiar with NAS can answer my question. Greetings Urs

uiuiu. DAU here! I do my backups with Drobo 5Dt. The Drobo has been running perfectly since 2016, but since the company no longer exists and the software also no longer receives updates, I want to switch to Synology. Currently just under 5TB is occupied on 2x4TB and 1x3TB disks. I was thinking of a Synology DS 923+. Can I just move the full disks from the Drobo into the DS 923 and that's it? or do I have to transform the data first or transfer it via Mac to new disks in the DS 923? Thanks

Hey Community I would like to store my photos and videos from my mobile phone and those of my girlfriend after sorting them out in one place so that we both have access to them in full quality. Access should always be possible from anywhere via the internet. What do you recommend? I was thinking of a Synology NAS because of the operating system, which is supposedly relatively easy to use. Any concrete product recommendations?

I'm looking for a NAS that can transcode 4K videos in H.265 format outside my network without any problems. At home I use an Apple TV that can handle H.265 without any problems (Direct Play). My Plex Media Server is used by 2-3 users at the same time, so sufficient performance for parallel streams is important. Do you have any recommendations for a powerful NAS that fulfils my requirements? What do you think of Ugreen?

I wanted to enquire whether the Minisforum N5 pro will be added to the range. In the best case scenario, I would also like to find out the price. Greetings to the round

Hello, there are different sets of Synology DS224+ with different hard drives from different manufacturers. What are the differences and which HD do you recommend, especially from which manufacturer? Does it have to be the most expensive so that I get the most reliable and quietest discs? Probably not. What is your experience? Thank you for your answers.

Is it possible to filter by the type of hard drive? How can I find NAS for m.2, 2.5z or 3.5z drives in a reasonable way?
