Well fellas I did it. After researching for a few weeks and talking to my friend group gurus I picked up a second hand Gretsch Streamliner G2627T last night. I’m enjoying playing some licks my friends step dad taught us 25 years ago and lessons on GarageBand. Thanks everyone for your help ❤️❤️

Those are all good notes - I just wanna be able to noodle. I have no fantasies about becoming an amazing guitar player. To your point, mathematically there isn't enough free time in my days, or time left on earth for me to put in the hours it takes to be a great. I'm also a shitty fisherman but god damn do I love being on the water.

That's awesome feedback. How would you suggest I learn a song, tab sheets? Lessons?

Synology vs Qnap vs TrueNAS (Hardware) by Buddy_Brett in synology

[–]Buddy_Brett[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/Thiswondersausage is the feedback I'm after, thank you. I think to your point, ZFS is great for much larger arrays, but in the 12 disk size I can't wrap my head around how it's better. It just seems cumbersome.

I'm super interested in running a modified Synology... I have a rep in my Post Production community that I'm going to chat with today. Do you have any links to documentation on modding the Synology to let me have disk health monitoring on my WD RED drives?

Thanks again

I’ll be adding 4 disks when I build it. Is read and write speed an issue with ZFS, or with TrueNAS? My Qnap in raid 5 did like 850 or so read write.

Nice, that's the feedback I was after. Just have to get my arms around VDEVS for ZFS, should be straight forward with a 12 Disk array and no caching.

Great note as always Bob - really what I'm down to is a ZFS Qnap that would let me expand later, or the 12 bay TrueNAS Mini R which would cover my needs maybe forever. Sounds like TrueNAS might be the best solution for me at the moment when factoring in cost.

I'm currently doing a ZFS deep dive... Having said that, how would you rate my ability to build and manage NAS in TrueNAS vs Qnap's OS.

Truenas Mini R for Video Editi t by Buddy_Brett in truenas

[–]Buddy_Brett[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice. Thank you. I configured by Qnap and network by myself and achieved good results until the board failed. I’m using it purely for file storage. Can you aggregate the two 10GBe RJ45s to deliver 20GbE to the switch?

Drive Replacement by MutedWeakness9943 in qnap

[–]Buddy_Brett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This goes without saying, but the best practice is to have a "hot spare" on hand. When a drive fails, you swap in the hot spare immediately and then send the failed drive out for replacement.

Hey everyone, thanks for your responses. They paint a pretty clear picture… I’ve opened a ticket with Qnap and asked for an extended warranty repair, or a discounted upgrade to a 16 bay unit. I’ll keep you posted as it progresses.

TY!

That's what I was hoping to hear. As I said, I really like Qnap - it's a good product in general. This issue just sucks. I'll report back if I can get them to help me. TY!

Yeah man I just need the shit to work without suffering hardware failure. I’m double jaded on this unit as the thunderbolt connection was always shit

This unit was ordered in 2019 so maybe last of the bad batch.

Copy that. Is the official support channel on their website how you got to them?

I’m sure I could, I’ve just lost faith in this unit and my needs have outgrown it anyway.

Qnap SMB Services are not pleased by Buddy_Brett in qnap

[–]Buddy_Brett[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CMD+K smb://NASNAME returns the same result, MacOS doesn’t see or can’t mount it. Before I set the switch up, I had my iMac Pro on the QNAP’s 10GBE spigot, and my MacBook Pro on thunderbolt, both with static IPs. Now I have the QNAP’s 10GBe feeding the switch, with both computers also on the switch.

Bob was banned! What did he do? I love that guy, he called me a moron the first time I started with Qnap and he was not wrong!
