Synology.

WD red.

Okok.. my target is Synology too

But he thinking to get the normal type HDD only..

It is still ok with normal HDD.

I have use Samsung normal HDD before on NAS.

Great.. looking at Toshiba hdd

I use before. But not encourage it.

Then which standard normal HDD you feel is better?

avoid WD green if tht model is still in the market

NAS have special HDD for NAS.

WD Red is for NAS use.

If no budget, than no choice. But not encourage.

so far i see Fractal Design Node 304 White

Synology NAS also can out 2.5" HDD right?

out? or you mean use? Most NAS HDD cartridge have mounting point to screw either 3.5" and 2.5" HDD I think. You can check on the specs. but there is no point doing so as 2.5" is much more expensive. I kind of remembered there are some QNAP NAS built specifically to house 2.5" HDD or SSD and is more compact in size...

It seems my NAS hardware is OK by doing the no HDD startup diagnostic. After all those back and forth emails, QNAP did a remote login to recover the failed RAID but didn't share the way to do it. In the end, my 4TB WD RED now = 1 x completely failed, 1 x bad sector, 2 x SMART warning. Gonna backup everything and send for warranty before the 3year ends in Nov. Thanks for the advise

opps.. typo using smartphone, yes.. should be "use"

Guys.. sorry for noon question

If using Raid 1 on a NAS.. can I like take out one of the drive and put it on a PC.. the data on the drive is readable?

Hi guys, i plan to get my first NAS for my backup.

For now the only model i could get now is Synology ds218J. ( No need too much gimmick apps installed and this is only for personal use. ). If you have any other better model compared with this, do tell me.

According to what I read, it seems like WD Red is a better choice for NAS. I heard about Seagate Ironwolf, but both of these prices are actually quite similar. Can anyone recommend on this?

Now with the GST is removed. I think this is a good time for me to build up this NAS.

WD Red is better.
Had too many failure with Seagate.
Maybe I not fated to use Seagate.

I am planning to get Synology DS418Play to use for my Plex server as well as backup for my photos. Is there a better 4/5 bay models that will primarily used to transcode HD videos?

Anyone knows where I can get a good deal on it?

Thanks.

I planning to get a synology ds418 for file storage. Just got one question if the nas device few years later faulty can I move all hdd to another synology nas without losing any data? I got a lot of important data which I can't afford of losing it.

Yes.
