Hmm... its seems like this is quite a major setback for using NAS. Power trip & failure is common in our country. This may not be the best solution if we need to go through this process again & again every time the incident happen (without using UPS).
this is good practices to have UPS or have 2 bays NAS..... (sound like last time everybody using PC without UPS)synology UPS function support can prevent data from being loss when an unexpected power failure occurs.
Power Recovery
The power recovery function allows the system to boot up automatically after power has been restored, if the system shut down abnormally due to a power failure.
this mean with this APC UPS, it will auto power off when an unexpected power failure occurs and it will also boot up automatically after power has been restored.

Bro hope you can help me decide ..
Synology ds210j or qnap ts210 ?
does the 128 and 256 ram make any big diffrence ?
i mainly wana use them for downloading preferb if able to download
from http servers ( non premium ) eg rapidshare, hotfile Megaupload etc.
and use a media server.
secondly just wana know as do both of them support something like
buffalo and seagate's web server. for easy access over the internet,
as i'm now having a dynamic IP it will keep changing, so i think it will
be easier to access it.
or mayb syno or qnap has a even better solution ?
thanks = )

synology & QNAP provide better web access than brand u mention above.
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=Post...3&qpid=33006735
u can use DDNS ( to use with your dynamic IP) and using the synology file station 3 or QNAP web file manager to access your file over internet.
if you have enable the "User Home" (synology only) than user can create a personal home folder for each user, except for guest. All users can access their own home folder via CIFS, AFP, FTP, or File Station.
To enable personal website
The personal website function is a convenient way to allow local users to create their own personal website. Each user will have a unique website address "server-IP/~username" or "server-name/~username", for example:
1. 192.168.1.1/~johnlee
2. SynologyNAS/~johnlee
if you want to try the online web experience:
for synology
site A:: http://midis.serveftp.net:5000 ,user name :admin, password: admin://http://midis.serveftp.net:5000 ,use...password: admin://http://midis.serveftp.net:5000 ,use...password: admin
site B: http://midi2.myftp.org:5000 ,user name :admin, password: admin://http://midi2.myftp.org:5000 ,user n...password: admin://http://midi2.myftp.org:5000 ,user n...password: admin
for qnap
site A:: http://midis.serveftp.net:8080 ,user name :admin, password: admin://http://midis.serveftp.net:8080 ,use...password: admin://http://midis.serveftp.net:8080 ,use...password: admin
site B: http://midi2.myftp.org:8080 ,user name :admin, password: admin://http://midi2.myftp.org:8080 ,user n...password: admin://http://midi2.myftp.org:8080 ,user n...password: admin
both using streamyx 1MB package.
u should try the Synology file station 3:
Synology File Station 3 is a simple web-based file management interface for users to locally and remotely access and manage files. Requiring only a web browser, you can access data anywhere with no extra installation needed.
File Station 3 can operate under a different network port to prevent users from accessing the management interface for security concerns. For extended security, in addition to HTTP, HTTPS is supported for secure access. It is also customizable to match corporate or organizational requirements.
File Station 3 has an intuitive user interface to minimize the learning curve for all levels of users. The AJAX technology used on File Station 3 allows for more sophisticated features such as drag-and-drop and right-click action. You can directly copy, move, compress, delete or rename files and directories stored in the shared folders of the Synology DiskStation. Moving files among different shared folders with File Station 3 is particularly efficient, as it does not require data to be routed through your desktop.
enjoy.....
(imaging you drag a folder ( let said 20GB - a folder size) from folder A to folder B, if you use samba ( in PC or MAC: open folder A and folder B) it may take more than hours (base on 10/100 line) , but if you are using File station 3, it take less than 5 mins.

)...to my surprise, my ACRyan PoHD cannot play this movie smoothly. thinking maybe the iso-thingy. so, ran it on my pc (spec as per siggy)...ran the m2ts file and same result...lagging and stuttering. never had this kind of problem with my QNAP TS-109 - last time played Matrix 37Gb smoothly on my pc and PoHD - kinda weird since this DS410 has twice the cpu speed and 4x the ram. does RAID5 really have that kind of performance penalty? or is there something wrong that i've done. now, really feel i should take the 259Pro instead but it's dual-bay
