For media consumption this is top notch and with Synology starting to step away from the video side of things it could create a good gap in the market for ASUSTOR
that is wonderfully simple to do and to manage, sometimes we overthink the process and it adds more complications to an otherwise straight forward task. I think you probably have the right idea already
Interesting review and yet again a step forward with 4 nvme bays included. Until recently i wondered why more nvme only units existed, until you explained the durability of nvme/ssd and how hdds still ruled. Like Sir Bodie I use an hdd as backup but thinking i need to reintroduce my spare 1Tb hdd back into a pc. Thanks Mike and Kath 🐈👍
data security is something most people don't think about until after the fact. I know a number of people that have lots valuable files and irreplaceable photos and videos that could have so easily been secured. It isn't cheap but what price can you really put on memories and security
@@mikesunboxing That is so very true Mike. Having lost drives over the years I have tried to keep more than one copy of all family photos. Hoping I need to simplify all the separate folders and split over two hdds. Looks like my itx build shelved 4 time being!
Nice piece of kit. But at a basic price of 500 euros, my question would be, "what kind of person would need this?" Anyone with that kind of money to invest in a storage device, probably has an old PC or 2 hanging around. Granted they don't have the specific storage specialisations, but if I wanted a NAS, I would simply re-purpose my old PC.
repurposing a old pc is a good way to do it but not very efficient or small enough to be discrete. With a dedicated NAS appliance you are paying for a turnkey solution, just pop some drives in and your done. Re using an old pc can be a good way to get used to the idea of more centralised data storage though
Can you please review the new msi G244F E2. I looked the whole internet but couldn't find the OSRTT test result of this monitor to know it's real performance. Please help 🙏🏻.

I use a single HHD to backup me things.
but love the idea of a NAS. Thank you very much for the Review/How To 😀
that is wonderfully simple to do and to manage, sometimes we overthink the process and it adds more complications to an otherwise straight forward task.

@@mikesunboxing Yeah as a normal user. but some one like you needs a autobackup. 😀

msi mag b650 tomahawk wifi vs asus tuf gaming b650-plus wifi
which one I should buy, in my country, currently both are in same price???
i would probably chose the msi if i was pressed to choose one or the other
Can you please review the new msi G244F E2. I looked the whole internet but couldn't find the OSRTT test result of this monitor to know it's real performance. Please help 🙏🏻.
i'll see what i can do
