Need more use cases like what to use for large media volumes vs Documents. Do I really want to use valuable space for Snapshots on a large volume with built in redundancy?
This should be mandatory watching for all new QNAP buyers. :-) Very helpful. I finally decided that static volume was best for my usage case. Much appreciated, love the product so far. I think it would be more helpful if you could also explain how to select the inode size when setting up a new QNAP NAS, Thanks!
yeh. imagine a newbie who picked thick volume then wondered why they don't have 100% usable space. Becauz they didn't know that thick volume by default allocated 50%, so you would need to go to the settings and allocate more (all the way up to 100% or gradually over time as you need more usable space). definitely a must know.
The video says that Thick volumes are recommended. But, towards the end, you give two suggestions : Performance = Static Volume, and Flexibility = Thin Volume. So, why then do you generally recommend Thick Volumes at 1:40 ?
Because maybe most viewers are home users. Thin volumes are cost effective for large servers for companies, but as a home user you don’t really care about saving for future expansion where all actual size is reserved from the start
Dang, my TS-453BT3 is set up as a Thick NAS. I've got 4x12Tb drives but only using 33% at the moment in RAID5. Each size is 10900. Can I delete a thick volume and create a thin?
i try to put a 10Gb file in a 9Gb Thinvolume but getting windowserror = not enough space! so my conclusion is; Thinvolumes are as stupid as Thickvolume because ther is no dynamic/flexible intelligent auto assignment of capacity! am i wrong?
IMPORTANT Informationen you missing!!! If you already did create „volume pool“ you can NOT create a static volume! would good to know before 2days sync 👎⚠️
If you are a beginner, and likely a home use purchaser like I was, it can be a bit daunting. My suggestion for basic home use is to use 2 identical HDD's, set to RAID 1, and to use the Static Volume as you will likely never need to make any changes. Very clean and simple. That will just create one volume and use your entire drive space without having to make any other choices that you may not understand. I found that I did not need to create a storage pool to do this. I do not use Snapshots and backup my QNAP to other locations daily.
I know the guy is trying his best, but seriously QNAP, if you're going to go to the trouble of making English language videos, find a native speaker who understands this stuff.
It’s not his English speaking ability that’s a problem, it’s your low level of tolerance that doesn’t allow you to comprehend nothing beyond your confort zone.
Hi, based on the information you provided, you can choose to create a static volume (no storage pool). But please note that snapshots will not work because it's not supported to take a snapshot of a static volume. Thank you.

Very good, short and sweet!
I see little advantage in using "thin volumes" or "thick volumes" when i could just create a folder for each "volume" instead.
I don't like volumes since I don't know how much space I need. A volume is limiting by definition
if you don't use thick or thin, you won't be able to use advanced features like snapshots. if you don't need that, great
A very easy to understand explanation! Thank you
@QNAP, how much faster is a static single volume, usually? I hear as much as 20%, but I also hear about 5% faster.

Performance = Static Volume, and

Which Volume type would work best with Plex as my NAS will be used primary as a Plex Server
Excellent explanation.
Hi, At "0:23", it shows the Static volume is unsupported, why? what does that mean?
Hi, that means you will not be able to take snapshots of a static volume because it's not supported.
@@qnapsys Thanks - it's just confusing by QNAP, they should call it "Data Unprotected", that would be self-descriptive.
i try to put a 10Gb file in a 9Gb Thinvolume but getting windowserror = not enough space! so my conclusion is; Thinvolumes are as stupid as Thickvolume because ther is no dynamic/flexible intelligent auto assignment of capacity! am i wrong?
i think thin volumes should expand automatically unless your storage pool isn't big enough
IMPORTANT Informationen you missing!!! If you already did create „volume pool“ you can NOT create a static volume! would good to know before 2days sync 👎⚠️
Or use ZFS and no volumes!
This is a video for someone that already knows about NAS. It is very bad video for beginners. The explanation is poor.

……..what?
I generally don't give bad reviews but that was just horribly explained...
My thoughts exactly!!!

Horrible explanation. I made a raid 5 I want a raid 6 and not to have to deal with this crap or thin thick etc

What an utter incoherent rambling. This does not explain anything.
