I'm starting to use my Raspberry Pi 4, connected to 1 SSD & 1 HDD, as Samba server & Resilio Sync. Is this considered NAS?

Does the RPI4 connected to SSD and HDD simultaneously have enough power supply? You might want to pay extra attention here though...

I try with RPI3B+ and it already start doing weird stuff

2 SSD, 1 HDD and 1 USB GBE. I had to use 2 powered USB Hub lol

i used to tinker with rpi2 to set up a NAS + Nextcloud for my own cloud backup/storage, but later on stop because of the limitations in rpi2's shared ethernet and usb bandwidth  sweat.gif

how's the write speed across rpi4?

Read speed 100 MB/s max, write speed 70 MB/s max. My HDDs/SSDs using NTFS format.

Hi guys and all the NAS experts. A very newbie here want to ask a question about NAS.

Can anyone recommend me one NAS server for my company use? The main purpose is only for file sharing.

Currenly I'm using oldschool method:
- Use a normal CPU
- create a root sharing folder,
- create sub folders for each user/dept.
- then copy the link for each subfolder and create a desktop shortcut to each user's pc. (for example, if HR dept staff, the desktop shortcut link will be something like "\\192.168.1.20\DESKTOP-1111222\shared\hr", and so on.

It's a very oldschool method, I know. And it becomes problem now since we're still in working from home schedule, so need to come to office first to copy the files and bring back to home. Later go back to office and replace the updated files. It's very tiring and ineffective.

So I think NAS is the solution. Based on the purpose mentioned above, anyone can recommend me which NAS should I buy?

A very thank you to everyone.

I use Resilio Sync to sync work folders on my laptop my with Raspberry Pi. Sync via BitTorrent so no problem syncing staff devices at home and your office server. If you want NAS, Synology has Resilio Sync app.
