- NAS Brands in 2021 - Which One Should You Choose? nascompares.com/2021/01/01/na...
Buying your first Network Attached Storage (NAS) device can be a remarkably daunting task! Even for the most technologically knowledgable, a NAS is a very different kind of device than most of the hardware in your environment. At its heart, it is just a computer (like most things are when you break them down to the basics) that is built for a specific task. However, there are numerous elements of a NAS (such as it always being ON, the constant remote accessibility and focus on storage primarily) that set it apart from most other devices, and this si where a lot of people get a bit intimidated by it. There is always the option of using cloud services, such as DropBox, Google Drive, OneDrive and more, but these are often paid monthly subscription services, involve your data being shared across other services and (most worrying of all) leaves your precious data in a position to be used for analytics without your knowledge OR open to hacking because of the sheer size of the target. Add to this the fact that in most cases, a severed connection to the internet means a severed connection to your data, and the appeal of moving away from 3rd party cloud and on to a NAS is pretty clear. The industry of NAS has been in constant growth for over 30 years, with big players like HP, Dell and IBM steadily losing the home and SMB market to the likes of Synology, QNAP and more. The brand diversity in the field of NAS servers has continued to grow right up until 2021, with the benefit that the way you can interact with your data, what NAS devices can do and the price point of this technology being exceedingly affordable (with fully featured solutions WITH storage media arriving as low as £200). So, today I want to talk about what NAS is, what a NAS can do, and which NAS Brand you should consider buying in 2021.

Very in-depth and helpful. Thanks so much!
Brilliant guidance on setting things up! Thank you and greetings from Holland.
Excellent video. You really covered all. Thanks to this info I'll get a ts-230 to start up... Brgds.
Hi, thank you for your content. I am new to NAS devices and I find your videos very helpful.
If I want to use a qnap for storing video library, would the Qsirch app be able to find keywords included in the video metadata?
Excellent videos! I am unboxing 2x TS-453D's and plan to setup a family share cloud with offsite redundancy.
What location are you in? These are still not available in my country...
And how much you paid for them if I may ask?
@@tomashornyak6987 US, I got the 4GB model from Qnap Direct for $579+shipping
@@corduroy73 That is a fair price, I think...Lucky you...=) Here in Europe the expected prices are in 650+ EUR range...but they are still not officialy available, so these prices might get some corrections...
Near the end where you're talking about myQNAPCloud - you mention secure ddns - I assume thats setting up a dynamic dns resolver using the name you chose - is it _just_ DynDNS to public IP the NAS is connected by, or is that also setting up some form of VPN/proxy?
Hi I am setting up a Qnap 653D NAS for the first time where is the video on setting up plex?
Hi, I have a couple of colleagues that I like to share a folder on my qnap server in wich they can upload videos to over internet. Is its the best way for this? or how would you setup a collaboration folder?
but can users you add to your own server access their user account via internet ???
You made a statement that confused me( 17:52 ). You said if you delete a file on the mapped drive from explorer it would be deleted on the NAS also. Maybe I misunderstood mapped drives ,but isn't the mapped drive in explorer really located on the NAS? There are not two instances of that data, one on the NAS and the other on the PC are there? Maybe I misunderstood your comment.
Qnap or Synology?!
Still researching this
I need sync data backup for files and photos
Don't care about much else
Update needed for 2021 - 453d with QTS 5.0! Please!
Finished recording 2 days ago and hopefully this series (and ones for the other NAS brands) will start next week.
@@nascompares Great just aboed you! Me and some friends want to switch from Cloud (Google-Drive) to private NAS (also with online access). But we are actually all complete NAS-Noobs. So your tutorials were basically our guide - and will be next week too.
I'll try to get this speeded up in production for you mate
@@nascompares Thank you Sir! I got the QNAP TS-453D, 16GB of SO-DIMM, three Toshiba MG09 18TB (for 36TB Raid 5) here and those will be ready for you :-)
And news on the 2021 QTS 5 Video?
Literally wrapping up the 8 part series today QuTS 5 beta too! It's been a hell of a month
@@nascompares thanks - appreciate your work
