You got use mobile device to access NAS?

Better change your QuickConnect ID to something else and also restart router as safety precautions so that the hacker can't find your NAS anymore.

Usually is random attampt... if your router have logs, you can try to take a look at the logs...

I do get random attempt on SSH from time to time.. usually from foreign IPs...

and I assume you have port forward 22 -> NAS?

hi guys.

i want to buy a NAS to store my movies, photos and backup.

what model should i looking to?

should i state my budget and estimated storage i want?

below 2k, around 2tb.

Google Drive software cannot install in Office Desktop too.. usually access via browser and rarely use.

I had another Office Desktop at home for WFH and it has VPN login so that I can access Office Server for folders & email.

At home using the Office Desktop and login VPN Office, I can map my Synology drive in Windows Explorer 😅

But when I tried map in office it's not possible... read about the WebDAV/NetDrive setup but I think not possible because cannot install both...😪

Accessing my Synology drive via browser does have speed limitations and slower than my current practise now which is copy the files to my handphone and transfer it manually (mainly *.pst files around 8GB and on-going offline files) ✌

Yes while WFH I'm mapping the drive using local lan in Windows Explorer... now figuring how to do the same while Work from Office without WebDAV 

Owh.. yes QuickConnect can access but I feels the speed just so-so 

btw do we need to set the Scrubbing frequency to example every 3 months or not necessary...

playing video at home no issues    guess I'll make use 30GB of GDrive for the purpose    the NAS will sync it to local home 

I set for every 3 months to perform scrubbing.. is it too short

Do you do periodical clean-up of the NAS unit? 

Using vacuum cleaner ka 

any particular thingy to look upon from experience 

Hi sifus here. I just recently heard of NAS and did some quick reading on google. Need some recommendation on choosing right NAS to replace google drive storage. Currently i subscribe to google drive 2TB package which is $400+ /year.

1) Main purpose - photos videos backup from multiplr phones for all family members and photo sharing among us, laptop data backup and some personal data backup. No need streaming.
2) what brand is recommended and has similar features google drive offers?
3) data safety is important. Make sure still can retrieve back backups in case hard drive breakdown
4) how many bays recommended?
5) Type of recommended hard drive and life span?
6) do you all use plug with surge protector to protect the NAS?
7) can NAS backup whatsapp chat from phone similar to google drive?
8) which NAS has user friendly interface from web and mobile device?
9) Price - tight budget. Can consider RM500-RM1500 range

Hope sifis here can give me some advise. Tqvm

Mahal a bro when whole family store many data on google.. partly also due to data privacy.

newbie to nas, if i use 3x 4TB with SHR/RAID5, i got 8TB usable space and 4TB redundant, and if one of the drive kaput, i still can recover all 8TB data?

just considering what's the best for my NAS initial setup

Yes, can. If 1 more drive fail during rebuild, all the data will be gone.
Also would be better to use BTRFS filesystem with SHR/RAID5, this filesystem when doing reading/writing will calculate checksum to make sure there's no data error.
If during rebuild and there's data error also will caused all data to be gone.

Mix different brands of HDD on the setup also helps to have different failure time for each HDD.

To mix HDD we need SHR/SHR-2 config is it    if using Raid-5/6/10 can we still mix HDD 

  I don't have  SHR, only normal RAID-5/6/10   

Normal raid can mix different size HDD    hurmm good news 

UPS Update : Models Right Power PowerTank P1250T and APC BX-1400U-MS, both with USB
TL;DR - Not personally tested, but shop guy at All IT Hypermarket said cannot be used. He was very specific that these models cannot be used with a NAS.

---
I stopped by at Digital Mall to check out the UPS that might be compatible with my Synology DS212j. (and future NAS) All IT Hypermarket had in stock, the Right Power at RM499 and the APC at RM699, both with USB. So I got to talking to the sales guy, and when I asked if these models could trigger a shutdown for the Synology NAS, he said that these models could not. We also talked about the Right Power that I was originally interested in, model P800T. It seems that the USB is for monitoring only.

Now, of course the USB is for monitoring, and when the UPS signals that it is running on battery or running out of power, the NAS will shutdown, right? That's how it is supposed to work. But then, the sales guy was very specific that these models would not work with a NAS, and not just very vaguely saying "maybe will work, maybe won't" or "try first if can", or straight out saying "I donno if can work", so take that for what it's worth. He told me to look for different models or order online as All IT does not carry any UPS that will work with a NAS.

As for me, since these models are not on the Synology compatibility list anyway, I'll pass on the personal testing for now, and not waste money. The search continues for a UPS ....

Juat curious did you ever change the battery in those years... I read that user need to change battery after 2 or 3 years to kept the backup at optimum 

  ok noted, any shop or seller for the batteries to recommend 

For a Synology NAS, most APC UPS will work. Just get the cheapest APC UPS with USB communication capability. What I did, I 'enlarge' the battery capacity by using larger 12v battery. Put the battery outside UPS. Longer backup time with cheaper price. The 7.2Ah 12V SLA battery cost about RM50 a piece. Double that - it's just an additional RM50 for nearly double the capacity.

As an EE, I'm going for multiple smaller, more common batteries, instead of one large single battery. Buying a 65Ah battery online shows prices starting at RM 435, with the average being about RM 500. 9x units of 7.2Ah batteries costs about RM 450 - RM 500, getting almost the same capacity as the large battery. Costs me almost nothing in materials as I already have it, and a bit of my time, to wire them all up.
The real question though, why do you want your NAS running for 24 hours during a power outage? 

sorry to say that the hard disk u want to sell is SMR drive, totally not recommended for NAS users
