did u open port 837 at your router

Note: for off-site backups, the following ports need to be opened  on the remote DiskStation ( both party)

    * 873 = Data Channel
    * 22 = Encryption Channel, if used

about the server name or IP: you can

1) servername.xxx.xxx
or
2) WAN IP for the remote DS.

u can try to use the WAN IP of the remote DS first and if work than u try the servername.xxx.xxx
BTW, did u set any rule in Firewall ( in the DS) ? if yes, please enable the access right for the network backup as well as remote backup.

I plan to get a WD sharespace 4TB this PC fair. Anyone know WD got any promotion this pc fair?

WD comes with 4TB which costs around 800 in total. This means the 4 bay raid 5 capable enclosure only costs 1000.

I can't find any 4 bay raid 5 enclosure on market that costs 1k only.

For the software part, I use openVPN to connect to servers in US/cyberjaya/etc to do my bt download and I going setup an atom PC to handle that.
I am also going to setup at DC++ hub to serve file within Malaysia uniFi users.
If someone can tell me an enclosure that has a build in openVPN function with customizability of a PC, I can consider other brands.

Got online review says WD sharespace is SLOW. Maybe I should build an ATOM PC with a RAID controller instead.

Compuzone price state RM1800.
Until now I still don know which enclosure can handle bt/download over openVPN without a PC.

Thanks.
So, 1 HDD is the redundancy ?
Any 1 of the 4 drive spoil can be replace easily without power off the NAS...

Oh Thanks.
Usually will the rebuilding take more than 30 minutes in a 4 x 1TB HDD setup (RAID-5) ?

Thanks. In that case, i think i go for Synology DS411+.

By the way, is there any NAS has USB3.0 now ?

I just went to check the specs for Synology DS411+, is does not has Hot Swappable HDD, but DS1010+ has it.
If no Hot Swappable HDD, in RAID-5, 1 HDD Spoil cannot replace on-the-fly ? How it work RAID-5 if no Hot Swappable HDD ?

Any nas that can also function as a media centre?  Which I can connect to tv to view directly instead of adding another device to it.

Has anyone tried to hack a notebook to hook 2 hdd to it?  remove optical drive, and connect it w/ another hdd.  Possible?

My need is just simple.  A nas to do raid 1 mirroring, and able to watch movie.

Attempting to update Synology firmware to DM3.0 but no luck.
Error message: Data can not be applied.

Tried twice, downloaded from http://download.synology.com/download/firm...1_110j_1342.pat for my ds110j.

I read a few pages back but still can't decide which NAS is better.

My department decide to buy a dedicated storage server for sharing files. The files include office files (excel, word, pdf etc.) and some video. All users (up to 6 users) use varieties of windows OS from XP to Win 7 and most have only basic IT knowledge so most probably they only know how to use ms office and internet browsing.

Currently, we are using shared folder but I found out it not really user friendly and some how slow. For some computer, it hard to get connected.

So, anyone can suggest me a good NAS or may be a microserver which is easier to manage and easier to access files from end userpc? Looking for 2 bays although 500gb of storage is actually more than enough.

Which model you use?

btw, i didn't set any raid/spanned volume as i can't afford to lose all my data in case of disk failure.
do tell if any one of you know how to set the drives to raid5 on Windows.
for now i just mount the drives on a single folder for easier sharing and access.

Read thru all the post...

Still not so clear what to choose....

D-Link, QNAP, Synology or HP Microserver??

Hope all the senior here can give me advise on my NAS,

I plan to get 4 bays for 4x2TB SATA to be Home use Storage,
1) able to backup all the data, but is that Raid is safe? Raid 10 or Raid 5?
2) able connect to >5 users, 4 notebooks, 1PCs and Media Player for LCD.

Will plan to upgrade existing PC for downloading --> store in NAS --> Notebook users / Network Media Player --> LCD
* Better Speed of transferring and reading.

3) able to safe shut down automatic when power low in UPS.
4) better protection on virus and disk tools to maintain disk.
5) able to connect from oversea to get a file.

Plan to using Windows 7 for new PC and a notebook using windows xp.

Ya, as cheaper as possible loh.

4x2TB SATA will be cost me around RM 1,200
2xUPS can last 30mins time I think will be around RM 1k (1 for NAS, All the PCs, another one for LCD and Media Player)

So, for the devise better within RM 1k++...

Even I never use server or NAS before,
But can learn from all the sifu here mah~

But you're experience user for Synology mah.

I just found something....HP Microserver need 200W vs Synology/Qnap is lower right?
and HP as a PC need to setup and install OS but Synology/Qnap dont need right?

Then now.....
can some one explain clearly what is the difference between Synology vs Qnap?

hey guys, can anyone tell me where can I get AC Adapter for dlink 323? Mine was dead. It is freakin hard to get a replacement.

Oh, if you have recommended QNAP seller here do let me know, might get 1 unit of ts-210
