    Perfect timing! I'm expecting my first nas (DS423+) any day now. I was between the 1522+ and the 423+ but seeing as it's only going to be a Plex server I feel the transcoding ability of the 423+ would be more beneficial to me... I think!!! I could still exchange it if the consensus is the 1522+ is far superior!?! 😁 I'll be starting out with 3 X 12TB hdds. The option to add another in future make me feel I'll have more than enough space for my movie collection. I'm also going to add an 8gb Timetec Ram upgrade. Spending 3 times as much for 4gb of official Ram was too much to swallow. I love how informative your videos are Robbie. Your product knowledge and enthusiasm for all things nas is first class. Looking forward to the rest of the series. Keep up the good work!

    I have a problem with migration. My DS918 died a sudden death and I installed the HDD in the same order in the new DS923. When trying to install the update (online or with file), the error message „not enough system space available“ appears. I contacted support but awaiting their response.
    Maybe someone here can give me a tip how to be able to migrate without deleting everything. Thank you!! 🙏

  • @APurpleSpy
    @APurpleSpy 2 місяці тому +1

    As a new user (just got my nas in today), I am amazed that this issue i ran into isn't mentioned when talking about setting up your volume. I set up 2 drives in SHR and began migrating data off the drives on my PC, with intent to empty one, add it to the array, and repeat until all data and drives were moved to the NAS. PLEASE mention this in the future when talking about it if you talk about setting up your storage pool and using drive checks. If you start a drive check because every content creator says its good to do, it will begin the drive check which will likely take multiple days. This operation greys out the option to add a drive to the array and gives you no indication that it is the cause. There is no option to pause or cancel a drive check, but restarting your NAS stops it and allows you to begin the process of adding a new drive to the volume. It took me way too long to figure out why i couldn't add a new drive, and once i did, figure out how to stop drive check, for something that you could mention in 5 seconds :(

    • @nascompares
      @nascompares  2 місяці тому +1

      I get what you are saying and I definitely could/should have highlighted that a drive check m, if picked, takes a considerable time till it's completed to full access/use, but the it's also somewhat comparable to RAID sync. It's a slow process, but one that you should let fully complete before moving data, as the point/use of it is to let you KNOW the storage area is 100% healthy and stable BEFORE you migrate data and potentially waste your time in moving it . That said, I get your point

    • @APurpleSpy
      @APurpleSpy 2 місяці тому +1

      @@nascompares I get that, I was mostly speaking generally about it. I have watched tons of videos on the process (i've been wanting to do a nas for years) and across dozens of videos i've watched, tons talking about volume setup and drive check, from tons of creators, I haven't once heard this mentioned. Not even a single person saying "if you activate a drive check it will prevent you from doing other tasks such as pool expansions while the check is in progress". It was just really hard to find out WHY i couldn't add a drive to my pool when not a single person in the videos i watched had mentioned that the 2 operations conflict with each other. I still greatly appreciate the work you do, your resources have been a massive boon in my planning for my purchase as well as my initial setup.

  • @christerwiberg1
    @christerwiberg1 2 місяці тому +1

    Just as a rough idea, how many years shall you plan the NAS for? I mean, no point in buying storage to make it for like 10 years, maybe like 5-7 years and replace it by then, is that reasonable? Think my DS 918 is about 5-6 years old now and I am soon running out of storage, but will maybe make until next generation, not worth it to buy one more new disk and combine it with 3 pcs of 5-6 yrs old drives I think

    • @nascompares
      @nascompares  2 місяці тому +1

      I dunno, I think 10 years is a reasonable amount of time. But that's also why I think people should buy big on day 1, same with buying a devices that's been in the market for 2+ years (video on this v soon), as I think it's worth holding on for the follow up. 1 step back to go 3-5 steps fwd. Also..I'm cheap as F sometimes...

    Even after watching this starting guide i still don't get it, my DS124 is not responding the same as the video suggests. Assistant couldn't find my NAS, after half hour fiddling on the mobile app somehow i got it to start installing. Then once in it won't let me set up 2fa etc, says unable to perform as busy or unstable. Given up on it for now, think i might sell it and move on. Far too overly complicated for just some storage on local network.
