Any great deals on cloud storage out there? Free version of OneDrive is enough to back up my important docs, but I'm looking to expand to the 5-10TB range to get all my photos up in the cloud too.

Backblaze is $5/month for unlimited, Backblaze B2 is $0.005/GB/month. Not sure there's anything cheaper. Always nice to see my $0.50/month bill for the ~100GB of backups I've got in B2.

If you already subscribe to Amazon prime they have unlimited photo storage at original quality available. They'll run every image you ever upload through whatever ML stuff they have going on, but it is a nice way to stores tons of original quality photos.

Thanks, sounds like Prime might be exactly what I'm needing but those prices on Backblaze sound great if Prime doesn't work out.

So I bought some of this this RAM to put in my Synology DS1618+, but it just sits indefinitely booting with the flashing blue light after I install it. The manual says it may take an extra ten minutes to boot after new RAM is installed, but I let it go for 40+ minutes. Crucial's website tool recommends this RAM . (Somehow I didn't think to check Crucial's website and just went with something I saw someone recommend). Which is strange to me since the only difference I can tell is that the RAM Crucial is recommending is 2400MHz instead of 2133MHz, and the stock installed RAM is 2133MHz. I'm planning on returning the RAM I bought, but is there any way to tell if it's defective vs incompatible? Would probably also help save me a restocking fee if it's defective. And does any one have RAM recommendation for the DS1618+ for a 4GB stick? Otherwise I guess I'll just go with what Crucial's site suggests.

If you checkout directly from the configuration tool crucial guarantee it will work. I generally pay the small premium once on stuff like this rather than roulette with "should work".

I got 2 sticks of some no name 8gb, 16gb ram for my synology 918+. And it seemed fine. Everything just magically worked and the seller claimed it was from crucial! It was 234 rmb each, now 180 rmb (26 usd) super sale - which I need to buy another stick for my ghetto qotom.

I guess you can run mem tests or all sorts of other burn in tests on it? It's DDR3L so it's probably been around for quite a while and quite cheap, especially when it comes to sourcing electronic parts in Shenzhen. And Raid is not backup so I suppose i lucked out for now

And the RAM that came pre-installed is CL15   I guess I'll just go with the guaranteed RAM and roll the dice on an Amazon return.

I remember CAS Latency being important many years ago, but that was back when going from 2 to 4 meant an effective doubling. I can't imagine it means much now?

I'm a bit out of date with the CAS latency effects these days. Having cpus with integrated memory controllers, large cache and L3 cache, and cache misses don't seem as devastating on performance it doesn't seem to matter much.

Works perfectly, booted up instantly and recognized the new ram no issues at all. Didn't have to touch anything in the Synology settings etc. If that works for your system, highly recommended. It's also like $15 cheaper than when I bought it as well!

I don't think the RAM timings mean much in terms of performance outside of some very specific, non-general-consumer workloads. Might make a difference in an APU (where single- vs. dual-channel does matter, for comparison.)

We must be close to NAS vendors making shallow-depth rackmount boxes with just 2.5" SATA bays in to be used with SSDs, surely? One of Qnap's billion models is the TS-977 series which is getting there, but it would be great if there were no 3.5" bays and the 2.5" ones were accessible from the front.

Any Unraid folks use the Fog (disk imaging server) stuff in docker? Interested in trying it out to capture OS drive images for desktops/laptops at home. Use it at work and it’s very handy. I see there is a docker, may try it out on the weekend.

Ah yes, the bit I missed out was 1U. Just something aimed at the SMB market that can take a bunch of 2.5" SSDs as they're dirt cheap now.

The chassis definitely exist. I'm surprised no NAS vendor has slapped their own logo on one.

Does anyone have an recommendations for a rack-mount chassis? I have an ITX board so I'd like a short-depth case that can fit around ten 3.5" drives. Hot-swap isn't required but would be nice.

Probably a few degrees past consumer, though  FCKGW: Anything rackmount is going to have hot swap drives these days. Supermicro cases are the best you're going to find that are compatible with standard motherboards, Norco cases are alright but the drive bays are definitely way more fickle than any Supermicro chassis.

I'm not dumb right - there is no way to do an "online" replacement of a failing disk in a Synology? I have a functional disk with 1 bad sector. I want the synology to mirror it to a hot spare, then break that mirror. I see in disk management I can "deactivate" the failing disk, but that says it will be kicked out immediately which would bring me to N=1 copies of that data. I'm backed up into Backblaze but that doesn't mean I want to deal with the risk.

I think the only way to avoid that risk is having raid-6 or equivalent redundancy.

Kinda makes the idea of a hot-spare pointless if you can't, you know, use it to replace a failing/failed disk.

Couple shucking questions - where can I find the price history for the 8/10tb easystores from bestbuy? I missed all the sales and they're 200+ now, trying to guess when they'll drop again. Secondly, the elements 8tb - I understand that can be a HGST DC320 (without helium and lowered RPM?) or an EFAZ... They're $150 now which is fine if the drives are decent. I understand it won't be the 256MB cache drive you might get in an easystore.

Best practices for setting up a folder to hold backups on a NAS? I picked up a Synology DS218j and am really impressed w its ease of use. I’ve got things rolling for setting up folders that are available only to the users, but was looking for insight and setting up a folder that will hold their Acronis backups. Not sure if it’s overkill to lock it down or not, it’s a for an office w 4 guys who are not tech savvy.

Is there a good Windows app for syncing individual folders? Like if I have a "Notes" folder on my laptop, I'd want the new files in it to sync to a "Notes" folder on my NAS overnight. I don't want/need it to be through the cloud.

Robocopy and a scheduled task. Or connect to the shared folder and make it available offline, and it will sync when you're back on your network.

H110Hawk posted:Is the goal backup or just having access to it from more places? It's a little bit of both. I wanted some finer control over the process without having to fiddle with the command line, so the two offered solutions were kind of the opposite extremes of my Goldilocks use case. I ended up doing some research, saw that Microsoft has provided two unofficial GUI frontends to Robocopy that both seem to be deprecated, and then discovered that SyncBackFree seemingly had all the functionality I wanted, so I installed and set that up instead. Manually running the profiles I created is giving me exactly the results I want, so I just have to confirm that it's integrated correctly into Task Scheduler.

Getting around to replacing the motherboard in my FreeNAS server since the last one seems to have died. My existing drives are SATA, and I'd like the headroom to run some Docker images (home network services, specifically Emby and Logitech Media Server). My price point is <$1000, ideally a lot less. Any recommendations?
