I've noticed a few times that my drives seem to be spinning down randomly, then spin back up when we try to access it. I've turned off everything I can see in the power options. Anyone know of any...
Thanks, I turned that one off, but didn't see any other power options that I could turn off.
How do I disable the spin down? I can't seem to find that option in the online command centre thingie
EDIT: I found an option to "Enable advanced HDD hibernation...", does unchecking that box...
I've had a Backblaze subscription for years, but it's just for my laptop and I didn't think you could get it to backup network drives? (I read that you used to be able to mount the drive in Windows...
I don't think anyone will be hacking from within my home network, but can people hack in from outside? (sorry if that sounds silly, I'm an idiot!)
Yeah I guess I can leave it running, it just seems wasteful and possibly an increased security risk?
Hey guys, I just got my DS218+ set up! I've not got to transfer about 2TB of files to it... can anyone recommend the best way to do that? I imagine I don't want to just CTRL-C and CTRL-P from my...
Thanks everyone. I ended up going with the 2 bay option with 8TB gold disks. I just got tired of debating the options so just did it haha. I'm sure it will work great for what I'm looking for.
Budget isn't an issue, but I don't think I'll use Pihole, VPN server, SONAR, and also we live in a condo so space is at a premium. I'm not sure I want to buy a bigger box unless needed, so I might...
So if I wanted to get a larger unit with expansion capability, what would be the step up from the DS218+? Is the DS718+ the next step up? That one is expandable to 7 bays with the DX517 expansion...
thanks guys
why would I need a 4 bay, I had a 2 bay for years (2TB) and it worked fine. Can't I just like double the drive size to 4tb, have extra room, and stay with 2 bays? I guess I don't understand why 4...
I was just going to purchase two identical drives and mirror them in a RAID, I guess. Just whatever is easiest and provides redundancy in case of a disk failure
I checked out the Red out of curiosity, and yea, it would be a couple of hundred bucks cheaper. It's 64MB cache though, does that make a difference on a home environment?
thanks everyone! the WD gold digital might be extreme, but if it's jsut a couple hundred bucks more, I might just do it anyway since I had a HDD failure on my last NAS
The Synology NAS Selector has suggested the DiskStation DS218j as a 2 bay NAS, is that a good unit?
Also, for a 4 tb drive, there seem to be two options for the gold series:
Western Digital...
Thanks everyone, appreciate the help. Thanks also revelations for the tip on the drives - the reason I'm replacing by previous NAS (DNS-232 haha) it because a drive failed. So I'll go with...
Thanks everyone! Yeah, I'll probably just go with a 2 bay. revelations, how would I know if I need hardware level encryption? This is just a home network, and will be used for storing and serving...
bump!
This thread is about a year old and we need a new NAS. Any recommendations on the latest and greatest? Don't need anything huge, 4-6 tb maybe?
Thanks!
Thanks! The link you sent is to purchase a Carfax report for $7, right? The dealer has provided that already on their website (actually, they give a link to the carfax site, where I can access it)....
Hey guys, I'm buying a used truck from a dealer, and was given a Carfax report from the dealer. I recall that Carproof used to be better than Carfax, because it would sometimes contain repairs etc....
Thanks!
Hey I've been out of he loop in the movie scene over the last few years. Can anyone recommend some freaky as shit horror movies that have been released recently? Not really looking for gore movies,...
Can anyone recommend a large curved computer monitor that would be suitable for office work without breaking the bank? (I'm in Vancouver if that makes a difference.) I'm thinking 34" based on what...
Hope you like it dude! That's one of lenovo's consumer-grade lines, I can't vouch for the durability, but I hope it serves you well. :thumbsup:
Yeah 99.99999% of the time, I'm plugged into an external keyboard and monitor, and I do just about zero data entry these days anyway. I really only use the keyboard on flights.
The T580 (15.8",...
Id recommend a Thinkpad T480, T480s, or the current equivalent of the X1 carbon, depending on your size, aesthetic, and upgradeability requirements. You simply cannot find more durable and linger...
Congrats Sugarphreak, awesome to hear you made it into the program. :thumbsup:
That's awesome, good for you man!
Same here, I was never a fan but he was somehow part of much of my life, so I'm a bit sad as well.
Strange, I've been using T series for about 10 years and love them.
Thinkpad T480
I'm not an expert, but I'd think this has more to do with the plumbing (water velocity, distance from heater, etc) than the heater. I used to have on demand water heater and it worked very fast. ...
Sugarphreak, this is super late and way off topic, but is this at UBC? Just curious. :)
Yeah I usually keep $10k in my bank account as a buffer for paying bills, etc., and anything over $10k gets transferred into high interest or stocks. So the $6k would be no problem for me. That...
I do travel internationally quite often - does priority pass lounge access come standard with the World Elite cards (for the cash back one too)?
Good point... Guess I didn't really think about it that way. I do like bring able to go into a physical bank, but I really only do that a couple of times per year. One reason I wanted to go with...
Thanks dude! will check that thread out. :thumbsup:
Guys this is a bit off topic, but I'm wondering if you all have thoughts on bank account fees and balances. I was planning to go with BMO Premium bank account with the World Elite Cashback credit...
