Thanks Robbie-great ideas and your intent to help others brings me here almost everyday. I started the folding at home after watching it here and now I’m going to start down the other six ideas in your list. Here in Michigan, USA, it’s crazy time, so I hope you and yours are safe.
Loved it! Thanks, tons of ideas. Any chance of a video about tackling some of the more complex things a NAS can do. I've got a Synology NAS and there are things like Mailplus and Webstation which I can't set up? Cheers
I think every week you should report at least 7 Great Things you can do with a NAS because it seems it's a shit load of things a NAS can do that we aren't thinking out the box that it can do. Some of the ones you mentioned were interesting like the Podcast one, Folding at Home, The Surveillance one. Just imagine being able to turn a Surveillance recording into a TV Show of some kind. Maybe someone recording their big Aquarium as a live feed to their NAS and streaming it live as an idea. The fun thing is there seem to be lots of things a NAS Home user can do that we aren't necessarily thinking of out of the box. That can be fun. Make a podcast of your daily thoughts to your NAS and stream it, you never know who listens to it.
Good video, I have been doing doing some of your tips already (sorting photos, transferring DVDs and folding@home). Great to see some of the other ideas. Particularly thinking about upgrading my surveillance, My current NAS is a DS1517+ running raid5 on 5x10TB Ironwolf drives. With a separate NVR (with single 6TB Dive) running 6 cameras at 4K. Thinking about adding a DX517 and some nighthawk drives, or getting a separate 2 bay NAS to replace the current NVR. Pondering the pros and cons of both solutions.
I want to get started with a NAS. the purposes are for multimedia/movies, and as a retro gaming machine, and Linux VM machine. what kind of Nas should I get? a 4 bay or an 8 bay? I heard some people say it's better to buy a larger capacity to allow room for growth.
Many thanks for this and other videos. Having trouble finding a compatible CD/DVD drive for my Synology DS220J. Any suggestions of what I should be checking or suggestions of makes that will work ? Appreciate your help. Cheers
Hi Robbie, I enjoy your videos. I bought a Synology DS720+. I want to hookup a USB DCD drive to copy my cd collection to my Synology. Is there a package that rips cds for this? Thanks
I'm torn between getting a 4 bay Synology/QNAP NAS or build a FreeNAS system. Roughly $1k budget. Most likely 2 - 8TB drives to start, with 2 bays available for future expansion/redundancy. Thoughts ?
I suppose my question would be when setting up and hoping not to waste drive space and function. Would videos like the following exist? I was looking for more videos or anecdotal stories of trial and error pitfalls that people found to be best practices in situations where they wasted drive space for the raid/pool storage/ or value . . . or had to move data then delete it(and re setting up nas pools/volumes), by looking back after they set up when learning and gaining experience with missteps/underestimating storage setups. I was hoping the creator . .or anyone scanning video/this thread might chime if they see this thread.
Not fun things to do with your NAS. Put in a new Western Digital Red drive, attempting to rebuild your array, and running into problems because they submarined SMR drives into the Red line.
How was it running linux? I'm waiting for a nimbustor 4 and want to run a Ubuntu seedbox script. Curious if it was difficult to give it access to storage and nic
6:10 DO NOT MAKE YOUR OWN PODCAST. There are too many podcasts. Everyone does one. Every famous person, every dumb person. Completely oversaturated platform. Do not do it. Please have mercy on us
No surprise. Yes, waste your time when you should be working on updating your skills so you don’t get side lined next time: How about learning a new spoken or programming language, learn to program in Unix shell or make your own rsync commands to achieve better backups and temporary retention of the data that gets deleted as backups run??

Cool ideas. Number eight could be; get your backup strategy configured. It will save you for many tears later 🙂

Robbie, fantastic idea. I used to do the SETI thing but my one pc couldn't keep up. Will find it and others for the NAS. Keep up the great videos!!!!
Great content as usual. Thank you for spending the time to make these. One day, I too will own a NAS
@A B cheaper out and repurposed and old desktop for now. More of a single drive backup solution!
Robbie, This video and it’s content was a great idea! Im serious, it really is! Thanks. Hope you and your family can stay safe.
would love to see how to set up boink for research for others when my NAS is on its down time
Thank you for your great videos!

Robbie! Thank you very much for your videos! I love it! Best regards from Brazil! =)
Hmm #5 is interesting. Need to look into that. I do have a bunch of old media I’ve been meaning to move to my ds1019+
Wonderful bit! Thanks so much for the ideas!

If you have a scanner, scan your books from your shelves and store them as digital.

Dear Sir, please make a video comparing WD NAS Pro & WD Black HDD.
Very helpful, thank you!!

Very good content!
Great ideas! Thanks so much, stay well!
Thanks for the video. Stay safe. We can't miss you
My OCD is triggerd with that power adapter in the background.
funny... most people complain about the coffee cup...
I'm going to see if I can set up a PBX server on a linux VM. I have one set up on my Pie 3 so I'm sure it could be set up on my NAS when I get it in.
is it better to transcode your DVD/bluray collection on your PC and send the files to the NAS or use the NAS to transcode?
Whichever has the better processor, ideally Intel quicksync
Robbie, This video and it’s content was a great idea! Im serious, it really is! Thanks.
Using Qnap's software, while organising pictures, can I EXCLUDE some forlders? Thanks.
❓ Can you please explain how to be able to see the .heic photos? ✌🏻 It doesn't work for me.

Are the HDD trays intercheangeble ? i lost my trays and i have an useless NAS now.
