Basically, it's a f***ing miracle.

Never will understand why some people have an issue with sponsor integrations. Those companies mean we get higher quality content and it stays free...

penti ... ums.... unbelievably clever guys. well done

Not about graphics cards or CPUs. Graphics card and CPU in thumbnail. ...well played.

Faster: A NAS is a file server

I like the "Let's Consider the Following" bit. I love Bill Nye The Science Guy... When I was 10 years old... Man, I'm old.

wet pantie-ums (pentiums) cracked em the fuck up

Great video with a good concise script and appropriate visuals. This video format is a cut above most other rambling non-pro videos that go on and on. This one gets to the point as a great intro to NAS. Good job guys!

Linus, your video editing is getting better by the video. I really like the subtle tricks you guys are doing and that it's not "in your face" kinds of effects that get annoying. Keep up the hard work, 200k is just around the corner.

This is probably the most well put together video I've seen from you. keep making videos like this one please!!

I am fan of your work, really Detailed and to the Point. I Never Miss your Video. I Was Tech Guy for 7 Years, Now a Entrepreneur of a small IT Startup From India.

you do the best reviews, and you're great at explaining things. Thank you, Linus.

"MOM STOP CHECKING WHAT HENTAI I WATCH"

Nice, I asked for this a little time ago, and now they made it :D Awesome! Love this show! And yes, I do share it with people I know who will benefit from it ;) You're doing good Linus and Slick! Keep the videos comming! ;)

You have some talent man, it's great to see someone who's good at something get paid for it! =D keep it up!

Great work Linus! From your videos I built myself a 15TB Bitfenix Prodigy NAS which you featured last year on your WAN show for B.O.T.W. =) Still serving me very well today!

Love the fact that your humour catches my attention, its sooo rare. Love your commercials

"So we can smash that 200,000 subscriber barrier." Let's just check the current subscriber count... You've been pretty busy in the past 10 months.

"It's basically a fucking miracle" HAHA

"Mega-Corporations" rip MEGAUPLOAD

All that just for porn? Has the internet gone too far?

I love your FAP episodes, they're awesome!

Very well said !! Btw for many who think they need a back up for their NAS with another NAS just remember you can have a small backup of your NAS not the same storage capacity as your NAS. Example: RAID 5 NAS system ($1200) Back up of NAS with a external ($50) You only need to back up your important stuff, not everything...if you want everything then get the identical drives but cash out

Good job Dennis.Nice work on the editing.Keep up the awesome work.

"Wet your penti-ums..." Killed me!

0:19 that editing is CINEMA martin scorsese will be proud

Ehhhh I prefer to hand write my data on paper for my backups

I like the way you talk about your sponsors. I have bought stuff from glasswire, and others.

Just subed!!!! love this chanel! keep it going!

Straight to the point no waffle .. well done !

Fast as Possible is you calling card. I know everything your talking about but these clips are the best by far. I have watched plenty of your vids, these are the best for everyone else not like me.

I think this is a great video informing of NAS storage and redundancy vs replication. However, I think a different video addressing the actual act of backing up (e.g. any software/automatic setup/features) would be an excellent addition! [I remember messaging Slick about this last year...]

Thanks for the explanation, Linus!

As a photographer my images are critical. Back ups are routine now. I strongly recommend anything from Synology; fast, quiet, scalable and their custom OS is amazing!

I use a NAS to store all my files over a gigabit connection. My Steam library, my movies, music, ect all stored on it. My main tower only has an SSD and a 500gb files for stuff I need locally (raw video files and stuff I am uploading) in it. So far it has been a pretty excellent solution. Built from my old gaming PC that I built in '07

Laughed loudly at that pantium pun. Good work, Linus.

Love the show. Hope you get a sponsor back soon specific for this show.

Just an overall comment about your videos: love them.

Love UR work Linus!!!

Well presented! Thanks for posting

Dat Bill Nye reference. You made my day with that.

Nas; born September 14, 1973), is an American rapper, songwriter and actor. He is the son of jazz musician Olu Dara. Since 1994, Nas has released eight consecutive platinum and multi-platinum albums and sold over 25 million records worldwide. Aside from rapping and acting, Nas is an entrepreneur through his own record label, retail sneaker store, and magazine publishing.

did he just make a fucking bill nye reference?

Thanks for the explanation. It was great

That just wasted my 3hr search googling NAS😂 Thanks for a great vid

Nice...a quickie knowledge on NAS. Thanks.

This topic fascinates me. I desperately want some hands on experience with this but I doubt I'll ever have that opportunity. Cool video, thanks :)

And there are some even cooler new technologies in HDDs like those hermetically sealed helium-filled ones. Those are so cool. I hope one day that there can be like some kind of optical-magnetic hybrid disk that stores extra information in an optical disk layer. The extra amount of storage would be incredible.

you smashed that 200,000 subscriber barrier

Between the more consumer Plug & Play options like the Seagate Central, the more prosumer/enterprise 1-5 bay solutions like the Western Digital My Cloud EX2 & EX4, to just plugging a USB HDD into your router or even building something like a Windows Home Server like Linus did a couple years ago on NCIX, there's an opition for almost everyone.

Linus, you have just made my week. "Hard drive platters spin at hurricane force winds, with the read/write head just sitting mere nanometers above the platter. Basically, it's a fucking miracle."

Good guy Linus..mentions all of the sponsors even though they didn't sponsor this video !!

What's a running water downloa- oh, _that._

0:50 I have named my RAID drive "Shadow Legends" in honor of irony.

I love that bill nye reference

This guy is amazing, where have you been all my life, lol

"So we can smash that 200,000 subscriber barrier." LOL keep the good work

A guide to setting up a home server or storage would be nice. Like 3 different price points or something. Im starting to get alot of components extra since i uppgrade often im sure alot are like me and could use something to do with everything

Liked for "Consider the Following". Nice throwback to Bill Nye.

You should do one on servers, home servers, large company servers, servers for mac, windows, and linux and how they all work together

This was so entertaining that I watched it twice.

I like how Linus said smash the 200000 subs barrier when they have almost 4 million today lol

- defuct minitower ($250 when bought years ago, but considered "Free" for this purpose) - $10 flashdrive - freenas - second drive (500GB) $150 - $20 5.25"-to- 3.5" bay adapter - raid 1 - replacement RAM to 8GB ("free" from second hand collection) Best thing ive experimented with, especially with the plex server it runs, especially when adding a gigabit switch to the network, I get about 200MB/s before the buffers are filled, then im sadly stuck with 60MB/s or slower until either it flushes it's buffers or I reboot it, still fun though for something that didn't cost a lot.

Fantastic review....

Very helpful thanks for video.

Best NAS System video, please

Nice always wondered about NASes.

I'm happy when you have sponsors because it means you get mroe money :P

Loved it now you need to do fast as possible hard drive cloning

Its basically a f****** miracle! (Love the vids! keep it up) 0:44

I like that Bill Nye the science guy "consider the followeing" Nice!

I miss my NAS so much! I thought I could retire it as I have two enterprise level servers, but they're just too loud for home use! Do I feel a project coming on? Hell yes!

"It's basically a f*cking miracle." :D

You already smashed it

Mac OS time machine really helps with dem backups.

I would definitely get a NAS for my household when I eventually can afford it (and do an unboxing video of it!)

I really appreciated the Bill Nye reference there.

I had to pause the video and let u know that awesome bill Nye reference got u a like Lol

That Bill Nye reference just made my day

I just don't get why people complain about sponsored videos. Do you want Linus to charge all of us to watch this types of video?! BE THANKFUL for those sponsors! They keep contents like this FREE!!!

Thanks for this video!

That pun in the beginning was so god damn great lol

200,000 subscriber barrier? LOL. He's close to hitting 2 Million now. :)

All the way from Nigeria , you keep impressing a nigga with all them IT details !!! Linus 🙏

Can you guys do a comparison of the best consumer nas solutions (4bay and 5 bay is most relevant) vs DIY solutions like unraid and freenas. I had been planning to build a freenas box but your recent look at the Synology Diskstations has me questioning my decision.

Would love to see a TQ on ZFS/RAIDZ and examples of uses for the consumer.

This format gives me flashbacks to the channel "What You Oughta Know".

*This guy loves Charlie*

great work

Nice vid, thanks!

Loved the Bill Nye slide :)

Amazing speaker!!!!

4:58 You wanna smash that 200,000 subscriber barrier? Hoooooooooooooly moly this video's old :D Congrats on breaking 200K subs!! XD

"Today's topic might not be as sexy as..." This comes right after an ad that has Tori Black talking about DP.

Speaking about raid, can you do a video on the difference and advantages of raid 10 and 01? thanks!

As a business PC user, I do not know the world of Linux. That being said, during a big storm our NAS unit bit the big one, and I could not access the data. (It turned out that the Ethernet interface blew out, and I could not reach the NAS on my network.) Boy did I ever learn a LOT over the next three days. Since my NAS unit had two mirrored drives, I hoped to recover data from one of the drives. Long story short, I soon learned that the NAS didn't store files in a structure that could be recognized or read from a PC. I finally found a simple utility on the web which could recognize the files stored within, and for $99 I could activate the the program to read and copy files in their native format that I could read on my PC. I had never been so scared in my life...

Yea I am actually surprised how long HDD's actually last considering that they are operating under such fine measurements. I have an SSD now so I don't need to worry as much.

How to choose a sound card or if you even need one at all, how to setup a network, how to set up a server, what is a server, different input and output ports (video, audio, other), choosing the right case, what is a bios, what is an operating system, what is a computer, choosing the right speakers, different drives (cd rom, cd rom rw, dvd rom, dvd rom rw, blueray, bluray rw, floppy disks), different drive speeds, choosing the right printer...

Just a suggestion: this session "as Fast as Possible" is the best! But, sometimes I think it would be better if it was a bit longer...

Nice Bill Nie the Science guy reference!!!!! "Consider the following"
