unless u have special reason to do the multi RAID, if not, normally we will suggest to have the max space as well as protection : RAID-5 ( this will allow one HDD to dead but you NAS still working and your DATA still be there)

I'm thinking of buying 1 Network Storage for my accounts department to host my accounting database which has less than 10 users but considering future expansion, which 1 do you recommend?

I'm looking for 2 bays. I don't know which is more user friendly, the Synology or Qnap? Synology seems alot cheaper though. considering following units:

DS210+ @ RM 1,599 ( 1.06GHz,Floating Point, 64bit@DDR533,Memory: 512M)
DS710+ @ RM 1,999.00 - Atom D410 , 1GB RAM ( can exp to 7 bays with DX5)

TS-210 @ RM 999.00 Marvell 6281 800MHz CPU , 256MB RAM
TS-259PRO+ @ RM 2,399.00, Intel® Atom 1.8GHz Dual-Core processor and 1GB DDRII RAM

which account database u will host?

if budget ok, than take DS710+ / TS-259PRO+


but for future expansion, DS710+ will able to link with DX510 which can support up to 5 x 2TB HDD. and TS-250PRO+ also can joint with another TS-259PRO+ with the iSCSI function.

Ok, can please let me know the best price for DS710+ and the detail of shipping cost to Kuching, Sarawak? Thanks!!!

Added on December 22, 2010, 9:27 amyes you can.

but if you use 1 HDD 500 GB and 2nd HDD is 2TB, if you are use RAID-1 setup than the total space will be only 500GB with DATA protection

unless you use BASIS, you will see volume 1 ~2TB and Volume 2 ~ 500GB ( this setup is without DATA protection)

Hi...
Let's say at home I have a broadband setup and my LED TV has DLNA feature...How would this product(NAS) be linked to my LED TV so that I could watch the movies which are stored in this product?

Pls guide me through before I grab one of these NAS..

you need to turn on the Media server , this will Enable DLNA /UPNP to browse multimedia file with the DLNA/UPNP DMA.

the support media format will depends on your DMA or in your case is your TV media player.

synology NAS DLNA/UPnP Media Server supported list:

* PS3/Xbox 360 Support

* Supported Image Format: BMP, JPG (jpe, jpeg), GIF, ICO, PNG, PSD, TIF (tiff), UFO, RAW (arw, srf, sr2, dcr, k25, kdc, cr2, crw, nef, mrw, ptx, pef, raf, 3fr, erf, mef, mos, orf, rw2, dng, x3f)

* Supported Subtitles Format: srt, psb, smi, ass, ssa, sub, idx, ifo

which Synology product do you recommend then?

entry level : DS411J
mid range: DS410
Performance series : DS411+ ( preferable if you play Blue-Ray, HD and yet also doing others job like IPcam, download and others)

hi,

need help at setting up my ds110j. i connected it to my router (dlink dsl-2640b from tmnet) but DS assistant cannot find the NAS.

i connected directly to my laptop and was able to format and install dsm3. but when tried to my router again it cannot find...

i'm new to nas and networking... =(

thanks

please check:

1) at router: tun on DHCP function?
2) check the DS110j IP zone is it same as your PC as well as router?
3) try turn off your PC antivirus / firewall


if still cannot, than please call 03-2110 0005 or 03- 2143 1823 for remote support. we will try to help you to do the setting remotely
