Do you use a NAS?

[bwana]

MyBB is once again looking for volunteers to review a Synology DS220+ NAS... Do you use a NAS at home? Or at work?

What do/would you mainly use one for? General data storage? As a media server?

 

[Progenix Oj101]

Does a self-built unit cost? A headless server over the network.

 

[My_King]

Yes, running a NAS and a USB storage unit

 

[Moosedrool]

SAN at work and ironwolf NAS HDD in my pc at home. No use for a NAS.

 

[AstroTurf]

I use the Synology NAS Mybroadband gave me at home and it is an amazing device

 

[gregmcc]

Yes, FreeNAS at home to host all my.....ermm...iso files

SAN at work

 

[backstreetboy]

No https://alldebrid.com/ is only 3 EUR per month and you don't have to worry about downloading, extra electricity costs, hardware costs etc. etc.

HP Microserver ... still going strong

 

[PhireSide]

Also running an HP Microserver, but I use it more for Docker than anything else. It's a bit long in the tooth though - I think they were initially released in 2010 or 2011

Unraid - HP i5, 8GB ram, 3x 6TB, Plex

Media, Music and Photos

 

[SauRoNZA]

HP Microserver with UnRAID.

18TB of redundant storage running Plex and a couple of other Dockers.

Although I will admit that streaming is answering my needs more and more and the odd thing not on there I buy on Apple TV.

By and large Plex is used for the massive library of kids stuff and likely Disney+ will address this greatly so I may have less and less of a need for it.

Home Assistant and the truly important stuff is all running off an ASUS Chromebox.

Synology NAS reviewers needed - You get to keep the device!

MyBroadband and Synology have partnered to provide a great opportunity for someone with an interest in photography and who is keen to review a NAS device. We need reviewers for the Synology DS220+ NAS device. We will send you the Synology unit (no HDDs included) and all you need to do is: -...

Unfortunately not but I would love one as we currently make use of iCloud, Google Drive, old HDD via USB and an old, outdated SeaGate WiFi drive that I have to physically connect to using a LAN cable.
