Hello denhock,

I need some advise from you for selecting a NAS.

Currently I have Seagate Ext. 2gb and PC in NTFS format.

I need to NAS can be easy setup and less maintain in future (due to not so much knowledge for maintain it...), and can fulfill below:

a) 4 bays 2GB HDDs
b) Recover Solution (Maximum Storage)
c) 24 Hours Operation
d) Manage communicate with UPS for auto shut down when power down
e) Mainly for Entertainment Files Storage (learn to BT also...)

Current in mind have Synology & Qnap,

1) Can recommend which model are better and suitable to me?
2) Is that any promotion currently?
3) I wish to get it maybe next month or aug.
4) And wish to use Amex to buy it. (Which shop can accept Amex?)

Additional Question: is that CFI external case suitable to me? what is the difference?

Thanks for assist...

the DHT port , pls try 6781 as ur BT port is 6781 until 6790
enable sharing: 50%
time : 90 mins

Added on June 23, 2011, 11:07 ampls check:
1) use the SMART test to test the HDD ( at the QNAP admin page)


yes. you can upg to better one, please let me know which model u prefer.

Added on June 23, 2011, 1:24 pmhi bro,

1) we accept Amex
2) both Synology and QNAP can support APC back ups like CS-650VA ( price should be ~RM 3xx)
3) CFI external case is for you to have external casing which can install up to 4 or 5 HDD and use the build-in hardware RAID to build the volume. u will see single volume like 6TB or 8TB

Synology: * without HDD
DS411j @ RM 1350.00
DS410 @ RM 1999.00 (pls use this if you have more HD/ Blue-ray movie like 20GB to 60GB movie file)

QNAP : without HDD
TS-412 @ RM 1599.00
TS-419P+ @ RM 2099.00


btw may I know b) Recover Solution (Maximum Storage) ... stand for?

yes. i do would like to trade in to get the syology ds211j
how much is need to top up?

Thanks for reply.

Good to hear that your side accept Amex now. Due to last time your staff said only accept Visa/Master.

b) Recover Solution (Maximum Storage) ... stand for?
Mean: if I put in 4pcs of 2GB HDD, total have 8GB capacity. As I know if using RAID 5 will need 1pc of HDD, then total capacity left 6GB. right?
So, I want to ask which recover solution can be suggest by you for maximum my available storage.

Base on your opinion, which NAS is more suitable for me?

May I ask what is the price for Synology 4 Camera License Pack.
Your website only stated 1 license pack price but not pack of 4 price.
thank you.

Added on July 5, 2011, 11:12 amRAID-5 with 4 x 2tb, u get ~6tb useable space. normally we will use RAID-5 as to protect your data. if u just want to hv max space, than use RAID-0 ( 8tb usable space but no data protection. alternative is use single disk , this mean u will see 4 volume.

suggested 4 model will good for u.

Added on July 5, 2011, 11:24 amRM 199.00 per license.
so if you need synology 4 camera license pack : R M199 x 4 => RM 796.00

This post has been edited by denhock: Jul 5 2011, 11:24 AM

RM199 x 4 => RM 796.00

almost the same price with the NAS

this is ridiculous expensive, i do hope your company can bring in the 4xcam license(USD200 listed price)

tq

Is synology ds410 going to be replaced with new version soon? Ds411 perhaps?

pls remember u need to pay for the transport + 10% tax ( all license product will have to pay tax)

so u need to pay US$200 + US50 + 10% ~ RM 852.00 ( base on 3.1 rate)

Added on July 15, 2011, 10:14 amyes. but still don't have indication yet. estimate by Sept 11. the model maybe DS411 or DS412.

if you can wait than pls bear with us.

DUHHHH... I mean the listed price is base on retail SUGGESTED price by Synology.
1 cam license USD60
4 cam license pack USD200

Off course you will bring in by official channel using much cheaper price and sell around USD200. Just like your 1 cam RM199 is almost equal to USD60


don't argue la, it's common sense that 4 cam Pack will be cheaper than single pack.
You don't have the stock, just admit.

may i know which NAS support 2 bay harddisk with raid 1 supported?

Hi Denhock

Thanks for lots of good info on Synology products here.

I have a DS209j and ran into a problem when trying to install Squeezebox server for my Squeezebox touch. Apparently DSM2.3 is required and 209j does not support that. Hence I need to upgrade to a new NAS with min 256 RAM. Which Synology product (new release) do you recommend (1-2 bays), and can you assist with migration from my old NAS in your shop? And can you give a price indication for a couple of options? I use it mostly for photos and music, might do some movies in the future.

Thanks in advance!

Hi denhock,

Please PM price for:

QNAP TS-879 Pro (new model)
QNAP TS-659 Pro II (new model)
Synology DS2411+ and DS1511+

Price of SATA 3 6GB/s Seagate Barracuda or Hitachi 2TB or 3TB drives

PM me your best price for the combo. Mainly for media archiving, streaming and document backup.
