Lol I thought it was a toaster for a second lol

@@randomweekly2947 you could try putting bread in there and see what happens...🤣😂

Geek Street lol that’s sum awful tastin toast :-)😂😂.

@@randomweekly2947 lol yeah!

Geek Street :)

Good to hear the video helped!

❤️

Thanks, thats odd are you connected via WiFi.

Thanks for the comment, its definitely a great NAS with alot of functionality built in. I've been using a Synology NAS for a number of years now and definitely the best decision I've made to switch to it.

2 GOOD FOR SUCH SHITTY CONTENT :)

@@GeekStreet using this device as a media server, hosting and staging for web development

Thanks!

🙂

@@GeekStreet One question about remote connect. If I create say two volumes, vol-int and vol-ext, can I configure only vol-ext to be accessible remotely ?

@@cloudtech273 from what I remember the whole device is accessible you can't restrict.

Received it earlier today and have been following your video to get it setup. Thanks a lot !

I understand what you mean, they are all very similar difference it mainly performance. You will be fine with the DS220+ I've used the older version for a number of years now for video editing no issues, just buy really large disks. Expansion wise you could just buy another unit after 3 year and use the existing as a archive one.

@@GeekStreet Thank you for your response!

You're welcome 😊

Beware, that 1Gb network is a limiting here, so you would get less speed, than from the disks inside your PC. It might be a factor for 4K editing. If it is, you would be better off choosing a model with a 10Gb network connector (you will also need a 10Gb network adapter in your PC and 10Gb home switch). Also in any case, you would need a separate backup place - either an external cloud or another box (at the very least - an external HDD connected via USB to the NAS).

You can lock things down with the share permissions so very flexible.

@@GeekStreet thank you very much! Now I have to decide whether I should get the DS220+ or the DS920+ so there is more room for expansion 🤔

Yes, its perfect for that!

Just set up your quickconnect and you'll be able to access your NAS anytime, anywhere. It's how I have been using my NAS's over at least the last 10 years.

L.E. Robbo Yes that's exactly what I'm doing.

@@harkisingh If you want a slightly safer option you may want to consider DDNS instead, or even a VPN. NAS's are susceptible to ransomware.

L.E. Robbo wow really ? I did not know that. Thanks for the heads up.

Yes perfect for that.

Yes it should work with macOS

You won't get a technical reply from a review store. They get sponsored by the companies they're reviewing so only know enough to promote the item they're given. Good luck working it out

​@@herrzyklon Sad but have to tinker it out myself.

No you can use just 1.

QuickConnect is less secure than running a VPN server on the machine. Since the attack surface is known (the domain). But there is a whitepaper on it written by Synology if you want to know the exact details. Running your own VPN is obviously more complicated but doable. When exposing the NAS to the internet, the most imortant thing to do is close it down and not have any ports open that you are not using. And also make sure you have strong passwords. There are also a few security hardening options you can enable in DSM as well. Synology have been better than other reacting to vulnerabilities so far.

From DSM 7 there is an app called Synology Drive that does what you are asking.

Thanks not as far as I'm aware.

@@GeekStreet thanks for the swift reply, I didn't expect that! One more then: Can I install VLC player app directly on the NAS and play from there directly to the smart TV? My issue is I have 5x1 Tb of ISO files (previously bought DVDs that I have ripped nearly 10 years ago - yes it took a long time) on three different NAS that I want to consolidate onto something more uptpdate. Right now I must connect the laptop via HDMI to the TV and I am looking to avoid having to do that.

@@nickthequick as far as I know, there is no way to stream ISO from NAS to a Smart TV. It's mostly because the Smart TV can't understand the info stored in the ISO and can't mount that disk file. The only way I could think it may work is to use something like a Raspberry Pi with a Linux desktop running, install VLC and from that VLC try to open the network directory of the ISO files. Synology NAS, Plex, Jellyfin and other media servers can only stream video or audio files from any codec, but can't stream ISOs because of how that format stores information.

I believe that you should make a backup of the photos to usb or computer. Yes I know it sucks but I believe that if you install the hard drive inside the nas. Hard drive will be formatted by "default" it happens to any drives regardless empty or not.

@@mariuszpl88 Well, thank you for the answer. My method than can be like this: 1. Make a 1 HDD NAS with DS220+. 2. Second HDD with photos: Copy this one to the HDD inside NAS. 3. Insert the second HDD (with photos) to NAS and unfornutanely it will be formatted too. 4. Make a Raid 1 with 1st (with photos) HDD and 2nd HDD (now empty). 5. At the end of this process, I should have 2 HDDs with Raid 1 system.

@@cenk82 no. That won't work. As someone stated, copy the photos from the HDD to your PC or an external HDD. The take that original HDD with photos and the 2nd empty HDD and install them both into the NAS. They will be formatted and all data lost. Once the NAS is up and running copy the photos from your PC/external HDD to the NAS

Really? Seems fine my side...you got multiple windows open?

@@GeekStreet It's ok today.

@@tonyyong ok great!

Hi, did you eventually move your data? What worked?

@@ralphotowo5142 um i think it ended up working but i don't remember what i did to make it work. But yeah i was able to use the USB port in the back

@@FirstLast-gk6lg Thank you!

Thats right as as raid1 mirrors to 2 drives so you don't have to do anything else.

@@GeekStreet thank you. very useful video!

Unfortunately not, that is a great idea though.

@@GeekStreet Yes - you can use 2FA on accounts...

@@PeterOOlesen thanks i tried it so long ago didnt remember seeing at the time.

Yes

Aber höchst Ram Zahl ist 6 GB für diese 220+. Deswegen ein 4GB RAM einkaufen

Yes

you plug this in your wlan router so of course then it support wlan

use youtube settings, speed

No

That'll make him sound like Vin Diesel

The 2nd option would only be the correct one if he has it plugged into a managed switch that can do LACP which he may not have

It's called a mistake, not fake

Tomas Av. I think it’s 2 but 1 is soldered. Inaccurate is a better word, not fake
