- It's been a while since I deployed Skaro, my beefy RS816 NAS. For a while I've been looking for a good capacity backup solution to work in conjunction with Skaro to give me peace of mind. I managed to grab an RS214 on eBay used for an excellent price. It's an older generation model, but perfect for my needs as an automated backup solution.
I'd like to say a massive thank you to William for providing me with 3x 6TB WD Purple hard drives, completely free of charge for this project as a donation to IMNC.
Thanks for watching! I hope you all enjoy...

I’m not even surprised when a new IMNC video comes out I just started to allocate an hour and W A T C H the amazing quality videos! Hats off to you
Thank you! :D
That william guy seems nice! 😂
Got anymore drives for sale??? I cant afford much but need to sort through my Dads data
Yes, if you know him, tell him he's a great guy :-D
You my friend are awesome.
What is up Tom!!!!!! What a treat to get another video!! I do not know how you find time to do these given you work a regular job help Jess around the house and be such a good dad to Eli, Arlo & little Odie!!!! You are an amazing young man Tom. Please give my very best to your lovely wife!!! You friend across the pond (Swetlering in the heat about now!!)
I love these types of videos about your network. Even though I don’t fully understand how networking works, it’s still very interesting to watch these kinds of videos! Keep it up! :)
That’s amazing, so generous of William to donate those drives :D Also love the Synology stuff, I’ve only been able to test a small DS918+ so it’s really cool to see more rack mounted ones here! Speaking of which, the whole server rack is looking great :)
Andi Palmer I have the ds920+ with ironwolf 12 tb x 4. It’s small but absolutely sufficient for my purpose and it’s cheap. Looking at racks I think it’s only a months time till I get racks... storage is addictive idk why...
What a great video to relax to on a Saturday evening while doing my own projects ☺️
Well, I knew this was coming through the pipeline. Nice one Tom 👌
I love that Noctua includes low noise adapters.
Hi Tom, I also have a similar setup to yours in terms of home backups. I backup all devices (laptops, phones, tablets, etc.) to a Synology NAS (RS816) using Synology Drive. Then, I make "offsite" backups from the Synology NAS to Amazon AWS S3 cloud storage using Cloudsync (key here is to have good DNS servers, I personally use a local Raspberry Pi running PiHole, this is quicker than an ISP DNS!). Cloud storage is very cheap and you can be sure is safe and secure. Also, you don't have to buy a seperate NAS to host at someone else's home!
@hussai62 The only provider I use in the above scenario is AWS
Synology again for the win :)
I used to store my offsite backup at work in one of their racks so that might be an option, although i did work at an IT company at the time so it might be different for you. Great video as always!
I hadn't thought of work. Hmmmm. That is actually a VERY interesting idea! We have loads of free rack space and good bandwidth. The internet connection is only really utilised to capacity on 2 nights of the week typically. I could easily do a weekly dump on a quiet night.
Thanks for this idea, my brain will definitely be chewing on this for a while!
That is awesome with the drives from William.
I think the third drive is meant as a cold spare, a drive you can just pop in to replace one that failed without needing to wait for shipping.
In a RAID config, having a cold spare on site is definitely recommended, but as I've configured this without RAID, a cold spare is not such a key component.
Apologies in advance if this is addressed in the video, I just got to the part with the fan replacement (which is only halfway) and wanted to comment before I forgot.
Double check the voltage of the fan you removed vs the Noctua you replaced it with. From what I saw it looked like the Noctua was a 5v fan and PC fans are usually 12v. I don't know about NAS fans as I have no experience, but If you replaced a 12v fan with a 5v fan I think you're in for some issues down the road.
-Edit after finishing the video
if it's a 5v fan plugged into a 12v source, that could also explain how loud it was.
Hey D W.
You're absolutely right. My apologies for not mentioning this in the video. I should've been clearer when I made the swap, that it was a temporary measure. This was a quick swap to avoid a noisy night, I'll be sourcing a replacement 12V fan soon. Unfortunately I didn't have a 12V 40mm fan to hand.
Man, that rack has come a long way.
Also, I have to stress your emergency escape drive, as I call such, is an absolutely solid idea that all of us should implement... A "just in case what's the most absolutely critical data I can run with" device to, hopefully, save that which is most precious in this absurd digital age.
Kurisu Yamato I think I need my own escape plan too for the drives lol. In case fire burn down the house.
I just recently started following your channel, great content!. I will be installing a Unifi setup soon and your 3 part series really helped me build confidence to do it! Have you ever considered looking into unRAID OS for a server? I recently built a 4U rack mount server using the parts from my old gaming PC. It was a fantastic learning experience and I'm extremely happy with it. You can run VMs and Docker containers on it - very flexible. Keep up the awesome content sir!
What are the odds I would be thinking about how to deploy a NAS on my network and Tom would post a video about installing a NAS? Great Video I learned a lot from it.
Really glad you found it useful, Jeremy :D
Epic video.
lol How did I knew you were going to name that NAS Trenzalore from the beginning?!?! Or, I was kind of hoping you would but then I was like you shouldn't, because that's the graveyard for all things in the future, incuding the NAS, haha.
Risking it for a biscuit with this name for sure!! Knew you'd love it though :D
Good job.
I've gotten a very similar setup here, though I've chosen QNAP's, and I've moved my 'secondary' NAS to a different location, in the hopes a fire will be restricted in 'geography', and then an offsite backup to idrive as well.
Ooo, very nice server. Great video 👌
omg a 1hr video and will watch it all
Thanks Tom, you pretty much forced me to back up both of our phones with the family photos. I haven't done this since my baby girl was born 13 months ago. Ooops.
Hey Tom, I think i mentioned this before but I might not have commented it, you can probably use Monster RAID as an expansion on the Synology box as that has an eSATA interface if i remember correctly. Thanks for another hour of geeky goodness though!
I remember this comment from a previous video, and it's something I'll definitely be trying in the future. Stay tuned for the Monster RAID video, and thanks for the info!
Thanks for pushing out the quality content Tom, you've spoiled us of late 👍 🙂
Glad you're enjoying :)
More to come!
Hey Tom
With offsite backup on hyper backup there is a check box for client side encryption. I have an offsite NAS at my parents house which mine backs up to (and vice versa). With the encryption enabled you local Nas encrypts that data BEFORE it is sent. Meaning that Nas at the other site only ever sees encrypted data with no way of undoing it. It’s a great tool meaning you don’t have to worry about the physical security of the remote Nas as there’s no way to get to the data stored on it. If you ever want to play around and test it (probably just your exports since they aren’t sensitive data) I’d be happy to share a folder with you to have a go with it.
Great to know, Patrick. Thanks for this info!
Dreamcast fan mod? Ooooooo very excited for that!
Good job
you can add any eSATA enabled drive to the expansion port on the back. I have an external 4TB drive connected to the eSATA port on my Synology DS918+ it simply shows up as "satashare" in DSM
Geoff, I actually plan to connect Monster RAID (that silver box in my rack) to Skaro (my RS816) via eSATA when I get that system back up and running.
One thing I wasn't sure of was how that appeared in DSM, so thanks for sharing this comment and giving me the heads up.
ItsMyNaturalColour I have a external usb3 drive connected to my synology box it work the same way with them as well. I think it’s also possible to use a drive toaster with them. Which would make it easier for archiving.
Ideally you get a family member to host the synology so you can have an off-site backup protection.
Covered at the end of the video :)
@@ItsMyNaturalColour True true :D
I rather not put the responsibility on my famility, plus the cost of powering the devices 247. Just go with a cloud provider like BackBlaze or Crashplan.its a lot simpler.
Look at crash plan or backblaze for an online backup. Not too expensive and I have over 30TB in the cloud
David Spector how much is it? I currently run ds920+ with 4 x 12 Tb with total space of 32tb with one drive redundancy. Am looking to store 30tb in the cloud too how’s the cost?
@@JAYJAY-ch4ik $60 a year
Tom if u ever go with a network backbone u should name it Paradox
What are the chances?! I was just thinking about when a new video would be out!
same lol
Same, was watching some of the older videos
What are the chances?! I was just thinking about getting a backup server :P
Time to crack open the Pepsi (sadly not a Friday night.. so no beer) Great choice in Rackstation model too, it's a neat beast.
Maybe I should change to a Friday upload? I'll keep this in mind ;)
ItsMyNaturalColour Any time is Tom time! 😁
Go William’ I need a mate like him
You can do an initial backup to the 2 bay NAS locally. then take it to your parents and continue backing only the delta.
With how much hardware you have in your rack, i would get at least 4 screws in every HDD. It's just a lot of vibration going through there I would imagine.
Brady, you're right. I neglected to mention during the end of the video that I ordered more screws to secure the drives properly. I'm still waiting for them to come in, but will secure them as soon as they do.
Hollly Molly wow!!
Hi Tom - Great video - did you consider using Synology drive instead of Hyperbackup?
Thanks, Richard!
From the start of the planning process I was pretty set on using Hyperbackup.
Try doing an rma with the drive.. Might still be under warranty
If you ever need some offsite backup, encrypted, you know i got a boatload of bandwidth, and managed by your old airport extreme! :)
I can discuss hosting an encrypted VM at some point if you like :)
The handles are delivered, but optional to mount. Would you like to have mine?
I wonder was the little Noctua fan loud because it's a 5V fan, and the system is putting out 12V for the stock fans?
Have you ever thought of doing a XPEnology box ( it’s a like a hackintosh for Synology)
*Me who has all his data stored on a single seagate hard drive* .-_-.
RIP data
You must not like that data :)
YAY
Another server Storage vid :)
Is that the sound of you clicking buy on some more noctua fans Tom? ;)
For offsite backup you can consider Backblaze. Its affordable for personal usage and I believe they have software that speaks with Synology NAS.
Thanks, I'll check it out!
If you have another location just have Synology on there Synology make it easy to do backups (the actual unit doesn't have to be in the building, but first time backup you would want it on site so doing all the large first time data transfer then move it off site)
Cool
Just an amazing video! May I ask you please to explain how can configure link aggregate dual Ethernet on UniFi dream machine please ? I can’t thank you enough!!
Hey tom, can you tell me where you got the blanking panel and brush panel from please. Thanks
Ok I am jealous of your IT room. Makes my table in my Living room look tacky :(
Technically the noctua 4cm Fan should be fine. but I would check Temps and might switch it for the A4x20 Noctua
Did you try to check SMART data on that third drive? Also, is there a reason you went with Synology over building your own system with FreeNAS or even Unraid?
Unfortunately, I can't check SMART status with my particular drive toaster setup. I'll need to pop the drive into a machine to investigate properly. Something for a rainy day.
Do you mean for this NAS, or generally as a choice for both of my NAS'? I guess the answer to both anyway would be ease of use, quick to deploy, very compact systems (shallow 1U), DSM is lovely, loads of support via packages to do pretty much anything you could want which are all super easy to configure and for this one in particular, got a great deal so couldn't go wrong.
I like the Synology units but I use used Dell poweredge servers with Windows Server DFS Replication and Namespaces as I need to use Active Directory and GPO for easy share access.
Do you know when you are getting that megaraid server box up and working and what are your plans for it that would make a great video
I'll hopefully get that done quite soon. It's quite high on the list. There'll definitely be a video.
O cool I can't wait to watch that one I have been watching your channel for a while I must admit it is one of the best ones out there
have you looked at CrashPlan or back blaze for off site? Crashplan for business specifically will allow you to backup SMB or AFP mounted volumes from a Mac.
I've had a few other suggestions to look at Back Blaze. I'll be looking into it for sure.
ItsMyNaturalColour In your investigations, you should also take a look at Wasabi.com for cloud backup. Very good pricing and works with both Synology’s HyperBackup and CloudSync. A lot of Managed IT Providers use their service.
I probably wouldn't get anything less then 4 bay Synology nas so can use shr2 (basically raid6 but makes it far simpler to drop in new disks or mix different size disks) so it can handle 2 drive failures or dual fault, (replacing/rebuilding a disk and you get a data error on another disk when rebuilding would toast as shr1 or raid5 array)
Only downside is it does use 2 disks for party so you only have 2 disks for space but you have to lose 3 disks to lose all data (likelihood of that happening is very unlikely, but having an data error happen when rebuilding and total loss of the array is far more likely to happen on raid5/shr1)
I still see people using shr1 or raid5 in 4 or more bay nas boxes when they don't even need the space (like 4x2tb shr1/raid5 but only 200-300gb of data)
Haven’t seen such helpful content in a while. Tho I’m having a bit of trouble getting my network to work properly. As In my UDM Pro shows up in my Client list. It happens every 10 minutes for about 15 seconds. Did you have the same issue setting up your UDM? For any little help I’d be very grateful!
Yes, my UDM Pro pretty much permanently shows up in my Client list I do believe. I tend to just ignore it, as it doesn't appear to affect any functionality. Do you find it causes you any issues?
ItsMyNaturalColour I guess it’s a Firmware Bug then. Hopefully this gets fixed with a future Update. To be honest, I can’t say if it screws something up in my Network. Everything works, maybe it’s a misconfiguration, but my DPI data resets itself without a real reason; that’s the only thing I noticed. But thank you for your reply, at least I’m not alone with that problem!
With the spare 6tb purple drive, why don't you put it in your usg for the unifi protect storage then you wouldn't have to worry about space for more cameras
I could, but as you will see during the video, the 3rd 6TB drive is giving me some issues at the moment.
Nice to see you making regular vids again 👍. I cannot believe you are so worried about an online offsite backup at a friends house, and are happy with cloud storage....there is no such thing as 'The Cloud' it's just someone else's server with less control/confidence than someone you actually know and trust? 🤣🤣
Dave, you make a great point here... and yes my way is actually a stupid way of looking at this in the grand scheme of things.
I don't know what it is though... the thought of a random drive at a friends house that any random person could just pick up and walk out with, that scares me more than my data being amongst millions of other people's data in a huge datacenter.
Do you still use the archive drives in the green cases?
They're used in the sense that data is stored on them and I'm consciously aware that they're there as a form of backup, but they're not regularly spun up as they're all full and no more data can be written to them. I haven't yet needed to retrieve a file from one.
ItsMyNaturalColour 👍, the rack is looking really clean now.
ItsMyNaturalColour Tom - Is it an option to physically store all your green archive drives at your parents, instead of on a shelf in your house, in a room with your originals? If you’ve got all that same ‘live/original’ data on Skaro - having the archives/backups in a locked file cabinet at your parents, wouldn’t that be ideal redundancy? Then you also wouldn’t need to worry about backing up so much data to a friends/work/cloud. If it was me, I’d still be archiving to a drive every year or two and stashing them off-site. Food for thought...
What about offsite backup in the event of a flood, fire etc. Remember the 3-2-1 backup rule (two onsite, one offsite)?
Hey John, have a watch of the last portion of the video. I describe some of my thoughts towards my ongoing backup improvements, including off site backup.
@@ItsMyNaturalColour Thanks - I realised after posting this.
"6TB is alot of storage" you say that now mate, but time changes data needs. "this is beyond sketchy" tom, ive watched your videos long enough to know that thats essentially your MO.
If you want an additional offsite backup, look up BackBlaze. Its cheap
Someone else has just recommended the same thing. I'll look into it, thanks!
@@ItsMyNaturalColour they are super cheap for unlimited back up. The cost only comes into play when you need to recover the data... its essentially cold storage.
@@ItsMyNaturalColour use backblaze B2 or AWS s3 buckets. Can upload family stuff overnight. That is all that matters. Mine is encrypted and sent to S3. Much cheaper than buying another NAS off site.
Another vote for Backblaze B2. Used them for quite a while now. I have something like 4TB of backups and pay less than $30 a month. I believe they even have integration with Synology via one of their backup apps.
If I good remember, purple are for video recording and don't have error corrections... But nice setup
Sry. You know about that. My fault ;))
They are basically reds but optimized for continuous writes
Having two separate volumes could cause issues with backing up as it fills with data . You could easily have a situation with 500gb free on each volume but wish to back up a 1tb shared folder .jbod would be more suitable imo. The way you slipped the second Nas in suggests it isn't sagging and therefore the shelf isn't strictly needed.
Hi Paul. As the backups will be automated and run weekly, it's very unlikely that I'll be backing up that much data in one go. It's much more likely to be a 10GB or 15GB chunk at a time per share. If I was doing manual backups and picking / choosing what to back up, then I could see how this could become a problem, you're absolutely right.
In terms of the sagging, Skaro was sagging quite significantly when I removed the shelf, as you can see during the shots from the back of the cabinet, where I point the camera through to the front. When I slid the new unit in, it 'pushed' Skaro up and was sandwiched between Skaro and the shelf. The shelf is holding the majority of the weight for both systems, meaning that I can unscrew either one from the front and not have it slip anywhere, it stays put.
Hello there , I thought that WD Purple drives were for cctv systems.
2x100Tb Data Center SSD should give enough storage space and I suspect that what Mörton Högarth in Hommes Denmark is using for a NAS i.e. a LENOVO Thinkcenter RD530 and associated LIBRARY unit that work together would be out of the question.
Where did you find those wallpapers??! 😱
15:35 im pretty sure, you can easyl open them with a paperclip and no skills in it
40:16 There are Cable Managment panels available
1:00:50 Thats why you have at least one offsite copy
I know this video is nearly 2 yrs old but was wondering if you'd be willing to share a blank or sample version of your network config screen 41:23.
On the subject of Synology replacing the Mac Mini in the rack, for what you use it for, it very well could, though, if you're still wanting to connect FireWire stuff, perhaps not. But I know you serve out you iTunes Library using the Mac, well, there is a package on the Synology that does the same thing, though until very recently, that was broken and didn't work with Catalina at all, but that's all fixed, there was a forum post that had a Synology link to a new package you could manually install. It all works now. Mojave was still unaffected.
I did notice when you're configuring the drives, you used Basic rather than JBOD. Probably will work fine, but if you're going to keep 2 discreet drives, I wonder if JBOD might have been better. Because what is being done here, is drives are being combined into one, then divided again into two volumes, while that's fine, I wonder if it creates a slight overlap, and if one drive dies, some data might be lost off the other.. Not sure how much you'd lose if any.
Still it's good to have a backup, as a NAS isn't a backup in itself unless it's backing something else up. My NAS is full, so I'm going to have to figure something out lol I really want to build a file server
Hey Steven
Intersting! I was always meant to give that package a whirl. These days, I only use iTunes to host a Photos folder share to Apple TV for a screensaver. I'm now running Plex for my music and TV shows, and I use the Plex app on Apple TV and Amazon Echo to listen around my home. I made the swap when I retired the AirPort Express' from my home. They were one of the main reasons I kept the iTunes library share going.
Regarding the drives..... trying to wrap my head around it here. I created 2 completely separate storage pools, then created 2 separate volumes. In my mind, these drives are operating completely separately, therefor no overlap?
@@ItsMyNaturalColour On the drives, I was just musing a little, Spanning, or to use and Apple term "concatenating", stiches the drives together, and maybe the overlap is no worse that on raided volumes, where the "stripe" or overlap is only perhaps in the region of kilobytes, like 128k or something.... I don't know, I might be talking out of my arse haha I might rewatch the vid, I was sure you selected Basic not JBOD. JBOD keeps the drives as two completely separate concerns.
Ah ok, I hadn't taken photos into account, and maybe had not paid attention to the Plex stuff if it was mentioned. I use that for my video content. Sorry, i probably come across as very unobservant...
It is not crazy at all I had to evacuate my home once I had to grab my cat my backup tapes and backup HDDs I had just enough time to do it. Lucky no harm came to my home so all is well.
@ 50:00 What the piont of using Time Machine if you don't have local data stored in your machines ???
Great question, Max.
Time Machine is still very useful, even if you're storing minimal amounts of data locally. Firstly, Time Machine backs up the whole system including data, OS, Applications and all settings. If your Mac fails, or you need to restore from an earlier point in time if something catastrophic has happened to your install, you can use Time Machine to roll back to an earlier point in time, and restore everything as it was without starting from scratch.
Secondly, while I store the vast majority of my data on Skaro, that doesn't include active projects. Skaro is too slow to video edit comfortably to/from, so whatever I'm working on at the time is stored locally. I then copy the libraries over to Skaro only when all the projects within that library are complete. Time Machine is handy here too. Because it's an hourly backup system, you get very valuable protection against accidental deletion or accidental irreversible changes to a project, wether that's video, audio, whatever. In the past, the majority of my use case for Time Machine has been restoring things I've accidentally deleted, or restoring something prior to messing it up entirely.
New follower.....great videos 👍🏼 Quite a system, network and backup you have. Speaking of experience (from one who’s house burned).....don’t you have/want/consider “off-site” backup?
Have you thought about starting a Patreon?
Hi Nick. The thought has crossed my mind a few times over the years, but never anything more than that.
I would love to be able to dedicate my working time to the channel, and make a really good go of CZcams / Patreon, but I'm not able to reliably commit the time. One of the big reasons I'm able to get so much content out at the moment is due to the fact that the venue I work in is closed while we're in the pandemic.
I do have an update video planned, that I'd like to film and upload in a few weeks time. It covers some of this and chats about the future of the channel etc. Keep an eye out for that one.
Thanks for the support. The fact that you're even suggesting a Patreon is support enough for me :)
Why don't you use your mac pro 1,1 as a backup server? If you schedule it to go on at a certain time and shut down when the backup has complete, power consumption shouldn't be an issue.
An interesting suggestion, and actually something that hasn't crossed my mind.
After thinking about your comment for a few minutes, I'd say the reason is because this NAS is tiny in comparison. The Mac Pro is huge / doesn't fit in the rack. Yes it's true that I'm storing it in my room at the moment, so I could easily run cabling to it and use it, but I'm hoping that sometime in the near future I can find a better storage for this stuff and free up all the space in my office.
Regarding power. I'd actually be very interested to see what would come out as more power hungry. Synology RS214 powered 24/7, or Mac Pro 1,1 powered for a few hours per night. That would be interesting.
@@ItsMyNaturalColour Of course I competely understand that! I only really meant as a sort of temporary thing if for whatever reason you need more bays and can't afford a new NAS / expansion enclosure, and it would run macOS so you could replace the jobs that your mac mini does with it like a 2 in 1 deal. Regarding power usage, my 5,1 draws arrpund 150w when idel alone, considering it has 1 ssd and 3 hdd's and an rx580 which is very power hungry. If you had a bigger rack, I would suggest those rwck moutn adaptors that a company sold, but of course you don't have a bigger rack and I have no idea who made them lol. Loving the videos by the way and keep up the fab work! It's so refreshing to see new content from you!
What rack are you using in this video? Provide a link if possible.

Why not go tape backup? I think ver. 7 is 150 a tape and can hold 80 /150 gb.
Good question.
I'm not quite there yet. If it gets to that level, I think I'd be happier to sacrifice some of my hoarded data, rather than face the huge costs associated with tape backup. The drives are expensive, the tapes are also expensive, and the whole thing just gets out of control.
A few years ago, I purchased an LTO3 drive and 3 or 4 tapes with the intention of creating some backup tapes for some of my more crucial files, but I've never set it up to use. LTO 3 was already fairly old when I purchased the drive, so I bought it used for a good price, but the SCSI interface presents a few issues that I'm not really prepared to deal with, with my current setup and configuration.
Simple answer then, I see it as more hassle than it's worth. I'd probably turn to more cloud storage before tape. That's not to say I will never do a video covering LTO drives, it will be great fun, but I probably won't use tape backup for my real world backups.
Please don’t run for the 3TB drive when the house is on fire or something like this! Is backup up to the cloud an option?
Don't worry, if it came down to running for our lives, I think that drive would be the last thing on my mind.
What I was trying to get across in that section was, there's nothing wrong with having a 'simple' backup that you can lay your hand on and access, without any sort of configuration or additional setup to access the data. If I did need to leave fast for some reason and our lives weren't in imminent danger, I would always have the option to grab that drive if I felt it was appropriate.
As mentioned in the video, I backup the majority of my photos using iCloud Drive, and many of my most 'crucial' docs are stored there also.
How much did you pay for the nas?
Including postage I believe I bagged the unit for around the £150 mark.
@@ItsMyNaturalColour there's another nas on ebay btw

It's a slightly higher performance one than yours though lol
@@BenCos2018 Just a bit ;)
There are 2 very important factors that I have to take into consideration when shopping for a system for this rack. The first is depth - my rack can only accept systems that are around 450mm deep at an absolute maximum. That's considered 'shallow depth', so compatibility is a no go for the vast majority of 1U systems available, seeing as a typical server rack is over 900mm deep. The second is noise. Enterprise grade kit, especially 1U servers, tend to be exceptionally loud. Absolutely fine if you have a network room / comms room / server room, or even just a spare room where you don't care about noise... but as you know, I work and film my videos in this room so for that reason alone, fan noise needs to be kept under control. I don't aim for silence, as that would be unrealistic running all of this stuff in such a small space, but I do aim to keep it as low as possible.
You can call lines for that , or me , I help lines
2 min in.. hoping there is a cleaning montage.
Have you tried wd40
Build an unraid NAS
Maybe one day in the future.
At the moment, I'm absolutely loving Synology.
What happened to the intro?
I recently used an intro in my UniFi series, but that was an intro made just for that series.
These days I don't use an intro for every video, only for a select few when I want to add a bit more to the production.
Skaro a lovely little planet if you don't mind an occasionally hostile neighborhood Personally
I prefer the company of Daleks to that of Donald tRump (sorry I just had to say it) :-)
get a nice 2U Used HP or Supermicro server and install Unraid !
You have to want to use Unraid... if you just want something that’s easy and timely you can’t go wrong with Synology
Forgot about power consumption and noise!!! My DS218+ uses 12W with both drives spinning and is completely inaudible while not rack mounted a Supermicro 2U server can’t beat that.
Like I've said in response to many other comments, some on this video and loads on other videos...
I have to work and film in this room. Real 'server noise' is not acceptable. Also, my rack can only accept systems with an approximate depth of 450mm. 1U servers are typically twice that depth.
You should just build one, far better hardware for your money. Stick FreeNas on it, or ESXI and FreeNas nested. Even the most expensive Qnap and Synology units have pretty weak hardware in comparison, and the price of most are an utter rip off.
With that said, if you can get one at a good price used, it's pretty decent.

What a poor device... 2 bays? (And so empty that it could have more.) don't put them so close If its a backup
Soooooo slow and overpriced and why purple ? It’s for video recording...
Because they were free? He's only using for back up so doesn't need to access and read from on a regular basis
He got them for free
also it doesn't matter about speed when it's a backup server
