Joining the club
Have 2 Nas (kind of). First one is a Western Digital World II 2x 1TB done in RAID1 configuration. Used for my media files
The second one is my old PC which I dual boot either in Linux or Windows. 4x 1TB HDD, used to torrent (using Web UI) + store my important files.

Currently looking for a UPS for the PC Nas.

Yes

@thumbwrap: using the same nas but i am getting around 9~10mb/s transfer rate. and that is through a router and a hub. and wifi is around 3mb/s as well.

I was transferring around 50GB of MP3s into the NAS at the time, thus it seems that I don't have this problem. but then again I am not using the default TM Unifi router, as I changed to an Asus RT13U router which might explain the difference

Here is a tip if you are using unifi router and a NAS. Sometimes the router will have some problem with packets from the NAS and as a result, transfer would be slow, movie playback lags, and worse, some files could be deemed corrupted after copying to your PC. What I do is get a normal hub (a gigabit hub would be better tho) and connect your NAS and PC direct to the HUB so that it would only use the router to get the IP from DHCP. All the other connections would be then direct from your NAS to the PC without having the router involved.

Yes. I am using Asus RT13U and having problem with .exe files being corrupted when I copied from the NAS to my PC. At first I thought the download was borked but when I checked on my download rig which connects directly to the NAS, the file is okay. thus I changed the connection and voila! Sroblem polved

For Unifi there is currently no modem/router combo yet. Thus you needvthe router to dial up you connection. the route will also act as a dhcp server, grantjng the pc ip addresses

Read my post above. There are some packet problem with the NAS when I was using direct connection to the router thus why I used a hub instead. The packet now won't have to go through the router and for some people like me it fixed the problem. Also my hub is a gigabit lan hub thus it's faster compared to the 10/100mb/s connection on the router

HOLY ---!!!
My NAS died after my cat decided that my desk looks a good place to play and rammed it off the table. Plugged it back in and it kept looping. Now have to use Ubuntu to mount the raids and backup my files in there before I get another NAS casing =__=

Yep, switch. Sorry


Anyways if any of you have a problem with your NAS and you need to access the data inside it but can't since it's configured in RAID, here is a solution

1 - Usually NAS will use unix's EXT3 filesystem thus it can't be opened with windows. For this you need a live edition (on a CD or a USB Stick) of Ubuntu
2 - Run Terminal.
3 - Run the command sudo modprobe md_mod
4 - sudo mknod /dev/md4 b 9 4
5 - sudo apt-get install mdadm. Note this will take a while
6 - Using a GUI storage manager, locate your NAS's HDD. Usually it will be mounted as sdb, but in some cases where the PC has a lot of disk it could be anything from sdc to sdz

7 - sudo mdadm --assemble /dev/md4 /dev/sdx where x detonates the alphabet of your mounted disk
8 - You will now see your disk appearing on the GNOME explorer. Double click on it to mount
9 - ??????
10 - PROFIT!!!

Hmm Synology?

2 seperate 2 GBs?

Edit: http://forum.wegotserved.com/index.php/top...b-and-whs-2011/

according to this you need to have a uefi bios, set cinnection as AHCI and format the disc as GPT and not MBR

I know what you mean. i just bought a 2TB HDD for my PC NAS last night for RM400 D:

Seagate 2TB Sata 3 IIRC. From Viewnet

Unless they are under really heavy load I don't think it will differ much. For my rig even with everything running the cpu kept it's throttled down state unless i do something intensive.

I am using Unifi 10MB at home and I can download the files from my NAS when I am at the office at speed around 1~2MB/s which is quite acceptable

Yeah, shifted the B as well. but I am not talking about torrent. i was saying I can copy files from my house to my office PC

As I said in the post above, it's a typo

I think I am getting confused here myself
anyways 1Mbytes

Ftp. Using Filezilla client it shows the current transfer speed
