Hi guys,
Would appreciate some help with choosing best external SSD for my wife's MacBook Pro Mid 2012
Will be used to edit holiday clips in Final Cut Pro. I am not a MAC guy but guess thunderbolt should not bottleneck anything, should it?
Many thanks for any links.
Hi Neil,
Thanks for your reply.
upload speeds vary between 8 to 10 Mbps.
Yes, viewing only. I am using PhotoStation and Video Station now. When I try to connect via 3G/4G to watch videos a message comes up saying that I am connecting using Quick Connect and it would be faster if I did the...
Neil do bear with me:) My networking knowledge is very limited, actually more than I thought it would be.I really need someone to lay it out for me step by step.
What's best Neil? The main reason behind purchasing my synology was to create a private cloud where I will store images and video...
OK, so I have done some more testing. Copied a folder with 7.3GB worth of movies onto my NAS with wireless off and brand new cat6 cables from my router to PC and DS716+. Transfer speeds between 110 and 105MB/s. Quite happy with that.
Next on the list is setting up port forwarding for fast file...
I don't know Neil. Might be worth giving them a call. From what I have heard on other forums it is not the case.
PS. Aplogies for double posts - slow internet on a Virgin train:)
I have just swapped my sky router for Netgear D7000 - I have Sky Fibre 38Mb. The set up was walk in the park. You will have to download wireshark to extract your username and password as Sky won't provide you with those details.(lots of youtube vids) Keep the old router just in case you need to...
I will add my 5cents as I have just swapped my sky router for Netgear D7000 - I have Sky Fibre 38Mb. The set up was walk in the park. You will have to download wireshark to extract your username and password as Sky won't provide you with those details.(lots of youtube vids) Keep the old router...
Cat5e from Netgear D7000 to PC and cat6 from Netgear to NAS. 2x 4TB WD red in raid1. I had wireless on when transferring the files (BT900 dongle) Nothing happening except for the file transfer.
Thank you guys for your advice.
I have been copying some movies onto my DS716+ ( in total about 130GB worth of avi and xvid files) and I can see speeds of 25 to 26 MB/s . This is both wireless and wired. Is that good or bad?
Hi Neil,
I am all new to the whole business of Link Aggregation tbh.
I have read that it only works when multiple clients try to read/write a file.
Do you mind sharing what is your setup?
Edit: I have pulled the trigger and got myself DS716+ (setting it up as we speak)
Thank for you input. Yes, speed is quite an important factor here. After some more reading I am now swayed towards Synology DS716 plus. If I go for it I will have to fork out about £360 (diskless) so I suppose that's my budget now:)
Anything better at that price point?
I want to set up a NAS at home and can't really decide which units I should go for.
Speed is my main concern and Link Aggregation feature of Qnap is quite appealing as is the fact that I can upgrade RAM.
Any thought on this would be much appreciated. Which of these three would you go for? QNAP...
