I built a Linux Software Raid5 server w/5 drives in a lian li case for a DIY option. I have a QNAP at home that I used to share files and stream videos, but now use it as an NFS share for VMs. I use the QNAP 2U rackmounts at work for ISCSI/NFS file sharing. If you have time to fiddle and troubleshoot and get things working on your own, you build your own. IF you want the quick and easy to manage, u get the QNAP or Synology. And hopefully people can help me here in order to achieve this small project. So now I am really confused about getting a QNAP, Synology or DIY NAS. I think that for DIY NAS, the complicated thing is what OS to put, and there is nothing outside enough kick ass, and most of the commercial NAS are more efficient. I want to keep as more power efficient as possible. I have read in forums about putting Windows Home Server. I have seen here that freenas is not a good idea, but maybe Nexenta / Napp-it (I guess Nexenta is the OS and Napp-it, an application. I was researching about OS for DIY NAS, and I have seen freenas, ubuntu, WHS and others. I want in any case to keep as low power as max (so I prefer as newer hardware as possible for power efficiency). Graphic card (could it be needed for transcoding acceleration maybe? I don't know, as I don't care about any other thing except that). It is supposed that is really nice and clean. If I could find something with a lot of SATA ports and avoid a controller better. And they are pretty EXPENSIVE for the hardware they have, doing a DIY, you have much better hardware for less money.
#Synology os x server 1080p#
Having almost decided that, I have seen that for 1080p transcoding, the Dual 2.13Ghz Atom processor is not enough, for QNAP or synology.
but I don't know what to think.Īfter that, I have seen a lot of people really happy for the synology 1512+, performance and features, and besides the really nice OS (that supports even TV streaming with a TV dongle).
I was starting thinking in QNAP, because it has a lot of fame, but after reading for a while, I realized that there are a lof ot people dissapointed, for the service, etc. I was thinking about getting a prebuild NAS, like: I am software engineer (mostly CG and CG pipeline) but not specialized in networks, but I can learn quick, so I am not scared to build my own system from scratch if worth it, as I do with my CG workstations. I am sure that there are requirements, that I forgot now.
So, the minimum quantity of diks should be 4-6. I would like to have it in RAID 5, in order to have redundancy, as I need reliability, and if one disk fails, it can be replaced, but I accept suggestions.
#Synology os x server portable#
* Having portable profiles (virtual machine? or not, I don't know), and load it locally, and then transfer it when it finished. * Regular back-ups from my laptop/desktop (just for docs, I never did) OR * Link the server as documents folder (sharing a folder and link it) OR In order to have consistency of my docs (I am not sure how it works, I need help and info for it, but when all the others things are finished): TV streaming (synology has it in the latest beta 4.1. Software server, for mac, windows and linux.
#Synology os x server movie#
Movie streaming (with transcoding obviously, having access through internet). But access through internet is the main goal. The goal of it, is access through internet to all the contents (and if I am in my country, at home, obviously locally, but is just 3 or 4 months every year and a half). As I have my parents home in my country, and they have a really nice internet connection, I was thinking about buying/making a NAS/server, to storage: I am a person that I am leaving in different countries every year, because of my job. Hello people, I am pretty new here, and I want to say thanks to all the people, that can help others, that makes this forum a fantastic place to get knowledge.
