Someone must've had too much coffee over past week :D But coffee and your charisma makes this so much more entertaining
Ok yea I do need a nas for my projects but my budget doesnt allow me
EDIT YOUR VIDEO! 14:39 show the link you dont want us to see
and at 14:51
YES, Please do! I've been considering building a NAS using OpenMediaServer and all those USB drives we all have!
"You need a NAS right now"
My bank account: don't even think about it
LOL
if you make money as entrepreneur on the web, I mean even if you are an accountant or web designer, a good system to backup your files is required and even less costly than a real container.
âYouâre not that guy, pal. Youâre not that guy.â
The cheapest route? Get a Raspberry Pi 4... and connect it to an external HD.
step 1: get an old computer you dont use
step 2: install freenas on it
Man, you're awesome. I'm an IT guy myself and teaching IT subjects to non-IT persons can sometimes be challenging for them. If teachers taught lessons the way you did in your videos then we'd have smarter folks around doing/teaching this stuff. Hats off to you, dude!
It's because he is always energized and enthused
*_" I'm an IT guy myself and teaching IT subjects to non-IT persons can sometimes be challenging for them. If teachers taught lessons the way you did in your videos then we'd have smarter folks around doing/teaching this stuff."_*
I ensure you that he's anything but a good teacher, starting with his whole weird attitude, and you should read what many people on Reddit have to say about that.
Chuck I think you hit the nail on the head. I just took a 2 TB hard drive that I had laying around that was from my previous system, and I bought a Synology DS120j. I'm almost wishing I had done this sooner. I just need it mainly for personal reasons, so the fact that it's very entry level doesn't bother me. Everything is working extremely well.
Synology was too expensive, built my own using an old PC and UnraidOS. Works amazing, I love it
That's awesome!!
There are some advantages to having the appliances, but you went the right route for you. That is commendable.
LTT
@@cyrill_va Same! It's so useful, I can access all my files from anywhere and have them sync across my computers!
I think old PC is taking more power than small Synology NAS.
Also Synology is expensive because of own apps not because of hardware.
They have many own apps well made that works always whenever you need them. They are just worth that money.
You can built own NAS for free with free stuff but questionable is the quality of it, in free aps you don't have warranty of working.
Hey Chuck. I just want to thank you for inspiring me to do networking. I'm just a delivery guy and I just felt like I needed something more. And thanks to you, I'm well on my way to doing my CCNA exam.
How'd it go?
Update?
How was it?
It's been 11 months....if you haven't done it...keep at it. don't give up!!!
I've starting watching your channel like 2 years ago and have stepped away until this past month. You have grown SO MUCH and have really improved everything about your videos. They are great! Educationally and humorous. Keep it up man. You inspire me with your depth of explanation and teaching style.
Dude, I have been a Software Engineer for the last 39 years. Seen and dealt with many IT guys. I wish we had someone like you. You're just awesome. Love your videos!
Well, if you are caught up in a pack of mediocre or dumb it-persons.... maybe you are one yourself ... (no offense)
â@@swedishpsychopath8795hmm maybe you're dumb(no offense ofc)
I just love watching your videos. The excitement you show while teaching us the viewers, it's just awe-inspiring. Thanks to you and your videos.. At the age of 59, I decided to start a new journey in my life. I just got a Technical Support Fundamentals certificate and one for introduction to Linux. Thank you, sir.
This guy is amazing. I love his enthusiasm and ability to explain why something is important to to people that they have no clue they even need
He has the best personality for an IT techies. I would love to meet him in person. đ
Awesome video Chuck. I've always built my own NAS systems, but I decided about 2 years ago to go with Synology. They are the way to go. I manage IT for a Broadcast company and I have moved everything over to Synology. It is allowing me to eliminate DropBox and share files direct. I put in 10GbE networking for fast edits. Hell, we cut 12 camera multicam projects off of the Synology DS1821+. I have a NAS that I built at home, but I love Synology so much that I'm saving to install a DS1821+ at home. The NAS isn't the expensive part, it is the 16TB drives I want to put in it. Then I'm going to sync my archive video server to my home so I have off-site as well as cloud backup. Your energy is justified about NAS and about Synology. Great products and all of their software packages are ridiculous easy to use. So yeah, I second your statement. You need a NAS!
I got given a Synology RS3614xs+ that was being thrown out. I'm backing up my PCs on it and running a Minecraft server in Docker. I've also modded it with noctua fans so it's really quiet now. Love this thing.
Totally agree with this! I moved from about 4 external drives to an 8-bay NAS with off-site mirroring a year ago, and it has made all the difference. SO much better now, faster, more accessible, more secure and redundant. Love it!
Waiting for the the next episode of Linux for hackers.
The series is freaking amazing
Thanks! Donât stop producing content. Please. From a Long time, listener and first time poster. You have all my likes. I recommend this video to everyone who is looking into a NASty setup.
Bought a Synology NAS recently and love how it handles backup and syncing so easily. Not only does it protect data using RAID but it also runs backups every night to an external HDD. Can't wait to learn more about its various apps and how I can put them to use.
We are slowly, but surely going to a "You need a HOMELAB RIGHT NOW!!"
Great video, btw đ
You do need a homelab right now!
more like a data center
not like we don't, I know I'm surely gonna need one
Since Iâve watched this video over a month ago, I went down the rabbit hole learning about NAS. I actually needed one too in backing up all my Media stuff as well my different PCâs. . I got me a DS1520+ and itâs been a whole different new world.
You made me so much more excited learning all tech stuff when initially I was dreading it while going to school for it. Thanks for your enthusiasm and engaging videos !
Great information video. I'm with you with the idea 2 is one and 1 is none. I thought I was crazy to have all enterprise products at home, and now I know I'm not alone. At one point in time when cloud doesn't exist, I have had a files server in COLO. Now, I have multiple NAS and hybrid cloud.
Damn Chuck! You're video production/content quality keeps on getting better and better, and it was already amazing before!! Serious RESPECT my G! And to Nick too!
So true mam you are running a media & educational company very cleverly compining it sponsorships so you can grow rapidly and at the same time provide free education for your Biggggg community thanks Chuck and David bombal â€ïžâ€ïžđ„ïžđđ„
This is literally how we've been running our projects since covid struck and it's really good. It can technically be done using some pc as a nas too but synology cloud station has the added advantage of being able to sync with several accounts at the same time of the same service provider, all while still being a dedicated storage solution and really easy to set up. It's not exclusive to Synology though and a custom nas can be built that does the exact same thing.
Get a NAS, yes absolutely. Oh and one more thing to consider, you can crack open the external cases and âharvestâ the harddrives. This will save you money when starting out with a NAS, especially cool if using Synology Hybrid RAID, because it allows to mix different harddrive capacity. I advise to avoid 2 bay NAS systems, if possible, because expanding a RAID1 is expensive with bigger drives. It is better having 4 x 3 TB in a RAID5 than 2 x 8 TB in a RAID1.
Wish i would have ran across a video like this long ago. I've been dealing with an overload of external hdd for so long. I'm in the middle of finally setting up a server at home with a backup in my storage unit for off site storage. I agree a NAS is a must have whether you are a "regular" person and definately a must for a business owner.
What an impressive channel. It has really blown up and the success is well earned.
Way to go Chuck.
I have had my 8bay Synology Nas for 5 years and it's great. Cameras, files, more.
Very good video đ I like your passion & enthusiasm for nerdy stuff like this! đ
I've recently discovered your channel. Love the way you explain things AND genuinely excited by it. Giving me many ideas for some/loads/ALL THE tech projects.
My NAS has NOS.
Computer goes BRRRRR.
Oooo. I wonder if you can use NOS and a purge valve to phase change cool a computer. And what the EPA would think of that project.
NAS drag race, incoming..
noice Nos NAS
NOS is also an ISP in Portugal
@@dolex161 ayo
Love the passion and enthusiasm about NASes. I was looking at QNAP but since their ransomware hack in June, I will go with Synology when I can afford one. Thank you for showing us the features of the software
Also beware, if you're using extremely large disks, you may want to consider RAID 6. It would take too long to get too into it, but chances of data loss increase the longer it's sitting rebuilding that new drive. It has apparently been an issue with RAID 5 and the ever increasing sizes of drives, there's many videos about this on youtube, some explain better than others.
EXACTLY, thank you! SHR2 is the way to go. I am gonna convert to it from SHR1 shortly.
I converted a Synology NAS with SHR1 to SHR2 with 8 16TB drives. It took about over 30 days to convert. I was on pins a needles while that was going.
You just got me so excited to get my NAS up and going, I have a WD Cloud Expert EX4100 that I've yet to unbox 4 years later, it's NAS time!!
Your videos are the best, time to sit down and watch this one :D
Backup is an implementation detail of restore. Tell your audience to periodically test they can restore from backup. Sometimes you find your backups have been silently failing. Also RAID-6 >> RAID-5 especially when you don't have offsite backups. Love synology products. I like your channel.
Great video. We just got 2 DS1621+ for our school and practice the 3-2-1 backup. Over 100TB of storage. Very easy to manage. Love it.
FYI. Just added another one for off site. Bang!!!!
Just bought a synology ds218+ possibilities are endless...
only just scratched the surface of everything it can do this video gave me some ideas thanks Chuck
there is no more Google Drive unlimited storage, not even on the most expensive plan you can get.
He appears to have a grandfathered plan. There used to be such a plan, but it appears people took complete advantage of it.
@@codenoob9325 Wonder if there is anything under "education" that is cheaper / more storage.
My College give us unlimited Drive Storage with the College Gmail account (but for cibersec things I don't use ir for important things)
Actually no. Itâs a Google Hack. Not many people know about it but if you buy a business Google account they technically are selling you a 2TB subscription however when you reach your limit it doesnât stop you from uploading⊠itâs uncapped. Chuck made a video about it.
It is unlimited.... they don't impose the limit of business standard or above
I didn't even wait for the "hack the CZcams algorithm" line to like this one. I'm a simple man.. You had me at "NASty"
I got a DS214play back in 2015 and to this day, I still love it. The fact that I can still upgrade the OS to the latest v7.1.1 on the same hardware after is fantastic.
Man i can literally spend days watching your videos, thank you so much!
I live in Uganda and I'm really working hard to be a network Engineer. Im cureently doing computer science and IT. Having a few issues here and there, struggling with personal gear, but I'm trying to believe that I will make it.
Thanks for the great content. I watch you every time you upload and I'm learning a lot more than my lecturers offer me. God bless you sir.
Keep faith with yourself and you'll make it!
GO QUEEEN YOU GOT THIS!!!!
I don't know his name but rest in peace to the laughing hispanic guy. He died sometime this year. Rest easy sir. You made a lot of people laugh with your contagious laughter.
Recently got into the NAS game. Ended up with a DS918+ with 4x4TB, upgraded to 16gigs of RAM (don't need it though) and 500gb SSD cache. That sucker is awesome!
I experimented with a smaller DS216+ and a QNAP TS-469 pro. Even thought about building my own NAS...
What convinced me to go with the solution I took is the combination of ease of use and SHR. RAID 5 is really nice and I can get that on any NAS, but the ability to upgrade the HDDs while they are in use is really awesome and (to my knowledge) kinda unique.
So, whenever I run out of the 10TB useable space, I can buy 2 bigger drives and put them in (one by one) and let the volume grow. This is so great!
Also, keep up the great work on this channel, love it!
Wow, I can see your love for NAS and related things. I'm looking forward to my own NAS, cannot wait for it frankly. Thanks for a great video man, liked it.
Great videoâ Thank you.
This video is right on the money. Buying a Synology is the best tech purchase Iâve ever made!
I absolutely love your positive energy!! Thank you so much for making videos like this â€ïž
i love your enthusiasm, thanks for the video!
Chuck, you should make a video on preparing for a Network Engineer Interview, with questions and stuff that would typically be asked, love your vids btw!
IÂŽve had my nas for a while, and it is actually awesome, IÂŽd totally recomend getting one.
Quick comment: My main use/need for a NAS is for backups of my other PC's. Based on this video, I bought the Synology 220j, the model you mention. However, I discovered the 220j does not support the Active Backup for Business software (ABB) mentioned here. Turns out, you have to have at least the 220+ to use ABB, which I figured out after several hours of messing around and googling. I'm returning the 220j and spending the extra $100 for the 220+.
I'm a little annoyed with Synology for not making that clear.
Still a super informative video, thank you, even though it did me a little astray, but no worries, back on track now.
I have been running NAS at home since the 90-ties. Honestly, I donÂŽt understand how people can live without it.
Data doesn't exist unless it exists in more than two places at the same time.
You always come in clutch with these I was just thinking about making a NAS with Ubuntu Server
I'm more interested in doing a FreeNAS or Linux Server based NAS for the experience but things to consider is the idle power consumption of a normal PC is way up. RPi's don't give all the SATA ports needed for a good NAS PC. You can make an energy efficient build with a Ryzen APU undervolted but these newer boards don't have as many SATA ports anymore.
@@itjourney-novicetoexpert6121 you can add pci-e sata extension card also đ
@@itjourney-novicetoexpert6121 freenas is awesome, i used it to make a plex server and it was damn easy
@@mehulgupta7579 I'm a debian user, I'm using openmediavault with ext4 filesystem it gets the job done
Using Ubuntu server with sas card connected to some disk shelves. Running mergerFS + Snap raid. This is only a backup for my main QNAP NAS. Having around 200 Tb space used at 50%. I like QNAP, but never had a Synology Nas so I can't comment on the differences!
I love your videos man! Keep up the good work!
I found your videos today by accident but I really like the way you explain things. I've got two NASeseses at home, a 2-bay Zyxel (VERY OLD) and a QNAP 459 something or other but as far as using them to do all the things they can do I think I'm far from that yet
Great vid, got a thumbs up
Litraly watching this while re setting up my nas
I use a RPI 4B with a USB hard drive enclosure, using OMV as OS and I have some docker containers.
Amazing video, and amazing NAS Chuck đ
Were you able to mount a usb drive with UASP protocol?
@@simaosilva4579 Yes, I have a 2.5 hdd enclosure with USAP, and with OMV was like mounting any other drive
Thanks so much for making this video. It answered a bunch of questions.
Brilliant video! Just what I needed to know. Thank you! :)
I know this is probably sponsored and Synology NAS is actually pretty good, we have the small sucker in our company for images.
There is also another option, you can make yourself your own NAS using a computer. It's not as power efficient but for "testing if you need one" it's a good idea.
While I've never gotten ransomware. Do not forget an offline backup. Offline backup is a backup that you only plug in to backup and then physically disconnected from data. Since it's offline it can't be hacked. That way if you do get hit with ransomware even with Synology you'll be able to recover your files.
Thankfully in 2023 Synology is planning on allowing full system level backups in the first quarter
Enjoying your content as a new subscriber. You came recommended and I enjoy your content.
I love using Cato Networks with syncing my NASes because they offload the TCP SYN/ACK process which speeds up my sync. Cato also adds security, performance improvement, etc to the transport layer between my NASes. One NAS at my home office and a NAS at another offsite location (friend/family/co-lo) and I use Cato to connect them all.
2013ish, rackspace open-sourced their hardware design for storage using common off the shelf parts and consumer grade drives.
Many people improved on it so there should be plenty of information for anyone looking to roll their own diy style. There are even some open-source operating systems that provide a lot of the features talked about in the video.
I suggest people give it a shot if nothing else but for the experience.
Although I like Chuck's content, and how easy it is to consume and apply as a listener, I really wish he went further in-depth, like bring your own hardware. Unraid, Free/TrueNAS, for example. Yeah, it's a bit more in-depth but likely cheaper hardware (can reach more listeners), more options (video series, herro?), and open source (supporting the community). Or instead of Kemp, use HA-Proxy.
If he did that he wouldnt of got a free nas.....
This really helped me understand cloud more from a business standpoint. Iâll be using this for my studies. đ
Back in the day, I worked for a company that used IBM midrange systems. One day I arrived and the IBM tech was there waiting for us to open. He said that our computer system had sent a message saying one of the hard drives was failing. There he was with a new hard drive. Being a hot swappable RAID 5 array, he was able to pull out the failing drive and pop in a new one without shutting the system down. No one noticed a thing except a slight speed reduction as the array rebuilt itself with NO loss of data. You gotta love RAID (and expensive IBM service contracts.)
Lead us on a Synology deep dive Chuck!!
"You need to buy a $12,000 NAS right now from my paid sponsors!"
No Chuck, stop going to the dark side...
Dude, you can pick one up for $200.
Don't get those dump 200$ Nas
Just get an old PC and convert it
It's a lot cheaper
@@NetworkChuck in a 3rd world country such as me i dont have that money many others as well. In fact most of your views are people from 3rd world countries cz they wanna learn for free such as me
To be fair if you did everyhing he said in his videos you would have enough Cisco training to have job that affords you at least a 4 bay synology.
@@Veri7a I just used an old desktop with old HDDs and a software RAID 6. It works well and if something goes wrong, I usually just back up what really important and rebuild the RAID with a new used drive.
Love your videos mate... always super fun...! keep going buddy
Chuck makes an excellent companion... when he talks to you, he makes your day, very entertaining.
WoW đ€©
Iâm working at Synology, very happy to watch this review from you
Great VID Chuck :) - The editors comments were hilarious.
love those editor interactions... hahaha
Great video I have a Synology for my business and personal use. I have learned more from this video than all the other videos that I have watched to setup my NAS.
I had bought a WD MyCloud in 2014. It was a 2 TB single drive chasis and it worked well for my needs up until last year when the drive itself started to fail. That's when I bought the Synology DS218+, a 2 drive bay enclosure. I put in 2 Seagate IronWolf 4TB NAS drives in it setup as RAID 1 and ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! Very easy to manage, nice looking UI, and runs very quiet. Can't recommend Synology enough.
There is also the 3 2 1 methodology when it comes to data. You should have 3 copies of your data, 2 copies on separate devices, and 1 of those devices should be offsite. Granted, that's if you can afford it. I personally do the 2 1 method. I have 2 copies of my data. One is stored on my NAS, and the other is stored offsite in the cloud.
âYou need a NAS right nowâ
Time Machine: I will corrupt my SparseBundle over and over again and there is nothing you can do about it
âYou need a NAS RIGHT NOW!â Nope had one for over 5 years now
Fantastic video!! Recently got a DS920+ to replace a bricked seagate free-agent goflex. First DS I bought was defective but this ones humming along at 32tb. I just backup my PC, a few movies and my phone. I've had no luck using a cloud service to back it up with as they quit half way through. Anyway I love it.
I'm a kid looking to create fun tech projects for myself over summer break, you are amazing at figuring out how to make these tutorials fun.
makes me wanna start a business just to use this enterprise hardware
You donât have to own a business to have a NAS. Anyone can buy and use one for their specific needs. I got one to not only back up my PCs which are several. But importantly to store all my digital media which number into lots of actual physical CDs of music and movies since the 90s.
I was going to get one then Chia happened and boom. Certainly something I need to look into again now most of the craze is over.
I don't see an issue, Ive been buying HDDs just fine. WD Red NAS drives and WD Blue regular drives are plentiful. Chia doesn't even work well with HDDs, you need Enterprise-grade SSDs for that to work efficiently.
The editing on this is a solid 10/10 *chef's kiss*
the google hack doesnt work anymore
1. Buy a hard drive and a raspberry pi.
2. Use them to make a NAS
Costs way less for home use
You obviously didnât get the data safety part of the video.
@@schrodingersmechanic7622 That might be ok safety wise, it still is bottlenecked as hell by the pi. And a pi with power, usb hub, case and whatnot does cost almost as much as a cheap NAS. The former is based on USB, the latter on a SATA connection.
And that is not what the thread starter wrote. One hd alone and a raspi is a recipe for desaster.
TrueNAS Core is another good option that doesn't have to break the bank.
I love your new space heater! ;-) I have a dell power edge with 6 SAS drive and of course twin powersupplies with turbo fans...can get loud in my office...but I made the mistake of closing the door once and man it got warm in here! I love your videos...thank you!
watching this for validation as my new drives preclear on my first server. very nice
Chuck: "Why dont you have a NAS"
Me: *looks at empty wallet*
well shit..... sold.. I'm getting a synology nas for my businesses. one of my locations crashed because my generator failed to turn on and my ups didn't have the capacity to sustain till electricity returned and I lost so many customer and production data earlier this year. time to make the investment. good video
@AstroCat thanks. Already ordered a 4 bay as a trial
This is so beautiful!!! :,) I need one!
I can watch these videos all day long, repeat, try myself at my home and repeat again. So much helpful and useful info. Network Chuck is more my guy. Messor is helpful for testing. Network chuck is real life!
The big big problem with NAS: energy consuption!
yeah, if you have like 8-24 drives going. I have a 2 drive that is 20w and you can turn it off at night or schedule, wake on lan, etc.20w is nothing
I have a new DS1520+ which has 5 drive bays. Itâs damn quiet I barely know itâs even on unless I notice the led lights. However, the drive is set to go idle sleep kinda when no network activity as my Main desktop i put to sleep when not at home. So the DS NAS is basically asleep and not consuming much to hardly. Itâs when I wake up the main Desktop that the NAS wakes up.
I've been convinced by Chuck but my wallet says otherwise
Just bought a basic 2 drive Synology NAS with a view to replacing a failing Windows file server for a client. I'm blown away! Easy to set up, creating an account gives you remote management from a browser and a few ÂŁ's get's you hourly cloud backups to the Synology ecosystem.
Now looking at something a bit higher up in the range (with BTRFS for example) for my own use.
I've gone back to mainly using Mac's and the integration is excellent, just 'click and connect'! I'm bound to find problems but so far, it's a great product.
Great video Chuck! Synology will love it like it did!
NAS with a hard "S"? Been in the industry since way before Network Attached Storage and Storage Area Network appliances were a thing, and have never once heard NAS pronounced with a hard "S". We enunciate it like "NAZ." Not claiming that Chuck is saying it wrong, just first time hearing it phonetically.
Agreed BUT. Odd though. It's spelt NAS (network attached storage) and not NAZ so in fact it should be pronounced like it is spelt... NAS. No wonder so many people struggle with the English language :-)
@@James-sc1lz do you pronounce "is" as "is" or "iz"? Yes, English is weird :-D it also depends if it is US English or British...
S is for Storage, so S sound. Just like GIF where G stands for Graphic ... oh ... (but I don't care what the author of GIF says!)
Agreed . Definitely "NAZ". otherwise you are risking an HR incident taking about your "NAS" lol.
This is one of the longest, most interesting ads I've seen lately.
