Why You NEED a NAS (More Than Just Storage)

Question. How is a NAS not just a glorified computer with RAID? Is the hardware specialized somehow? I'm just running my services in an old laptop that has a gtx1050.

What you think about synology ds620?

I still don't see the advantage over having one HD and another one for backup. I only need a SBC like a Raspi for that.

super overview, I'll really consider buying one in the not-so-distant future

REAL TALK

Now your Nas is your single point of failure. I suggest moving critical services like your home assistant to a virtual machine in a clustered environment. Don't thank me for it, I am just cursing you by letting you know about this.

Best overview on why I need a NAS I've seen thus far. As a result, I know its the solution I need and have an idea what options I should consider. @FromSergio I appreciate your effort in this video.

Fantastic, really comprehensive video, it's one of the first few I've watched about NAS but the arguments and positives are compelling. Thank you for the video!

Very interesting, I think I’ll get one like yours.

If your house burns down, your NAS burns down. A NAS is not cloud storage.

How much does it cost?

Please just dont do vm on a nas and get a second server or a server where you bild a nas on

If i use this for internal storage like i have one file and 5 people work on it and i connect this nas with internet cable with the help of switch

When the small low powered NAS without any drive costs as much as or more than a reasonably powerful computer, the choice is simple.

you convinced me to get the DS1522+

Definitely a very well put together video...! THANK you! R.

do you really save money with NAS? even with electricity?

More videos on NAS, please. Have you tried WD? I think their products are a bit cheaper and a lot easier to get where I'm from.

I bought it, but still not sure if I really need it.

Hi Sergio,

Could you please tell us what model of cameras you use?

Thank you

but how about security? are they safe to use?

Good video.

What's the filesystem of your NAS?

I’m à fiction writer and always feels that a nas (at those prices) is a bit overkill… don’t know I have an iCloud subscription with Apple Music and it’s seems to be enough…
I’m not sure for non technical workers if it really fit…
Great and really clear video btw

Oh my goodness. I'm well versed (but a bit rusty) in Linux, but I will be in needing some media storage in the nearish future. So you've given me a lot more ideas to think about. And it's awesome that you use Home Assistant and automate your home. I have one camera (we used to have quite a few but that was several years ago and they've aged poorly) and also use HA to run my household - as well as a couple common voice assistants. For me it's mostly motion detection in rooms so that lights come on when I enter. I started following you for the Obsidian topics, but I'm staying because you're into a lot of the fun stuff I enjoy. This video explained a lot more about NAS in a way that made it easy to follow along even though it's kind of unfamiliar territory for me. Keep up the great work!

Thanks! this is what I want to know. I also like your lighting gear. Can you share the details of the lights that you used? And what is your 4K setup?

I really like your content! Very informative! Continue bro!

I stumbled upon this channel, solid content. Subbed.

Loved the video, man! You gave an awesome overview - great job!

did u just say "crm for perosnal relationships"? omg this is wild 😂

Those WD hard drive are super super slow. I put one in my PC, uggggh, I'm gonna just put it in my nas as part of a media server

NAS are a gateway drug to learning IT :)

Great video!

I started with a NAS, now I have a full home-lab lol

Maybe a series like mastering NAS will very cool...

What’s the sound level on the synology? I’ve been eying one, but the only Ethernet in my rented house would be in the living room behind the couch 😢

Found you for the obsidian content. Funny, I just bought a 4 bay nas as well. Getting it set up atm

Great video! This is what we were looking into. Thanks.
