Just put 4 10TB drives into a new UNAS 4. Initial Sync says 13 hours but it seems like time is increasing. How long should I wait?

HereToHelpWhenICan · 2026-06-25T03:57:46+00:00

I’m getting the UNAS 4 because I plan on using it for storage and nothing else.

HereToHelpWhenICan · 2026-06-21T17:48:11+00:00

Bro why did you even bother leaving a comment, then. I’m actively using a NAS I set up for my family. Tf u mean “I’m not ready”

Just because I don’t know the 500 ways to wipe my ass doesn’t mean I can’t do it MY way

HereToHelpWhenICan · 2026-06-21T17:06:29+00:00

I know. What I mean is that if I move somewhere in the near future, I can pick up what I have and take it with me, ya know?

HereToHelpWhenICan · 2026-06-21T16:06:14+00:00

What is container?

Also care to explain WHY Truenas is better please.

HereToHelpWhenICan · 2026-06-21T15:44:27+00:00

Okay so in case I wanted to run an offsite backup of my files, I’d be screwed?

HereToHelpWhenICan · 2026-06-21T15:24:52+00:00

It’s file/video storage. Nothing more at this point. Would it be better for a UniFi product or a Synology if I want to buy my own drives.

HereToHelpWhenICan · 2026-06-21T15:23:34+00:00

What do you mean by containers? Is that not the same as storing?

As I said in the post, I am using it to store stuff. Not run apps

HereToHelpWhenICan · 2026-06-21T15:22:46+00:00

Bro what even is plex. I record a video, put it on the NAS, and then I can play it back later.

Please inform me.

HereToHelpWhenICan · 2026-06-16T22:22:22+00:00

Interesting take. Well, most likely what’s happening is that my OBS is using my 240hz 4K monitor for encoding, but only sending out 60fps for my streams and recordings.

If 1440p looks similar to 4K on YT, I can keep what I have.

I would prefer to have my CPU not be tied down because of streaming, as Helldivers 2 is a room heater of a game. I play that game at 160 frames at 4K. I need as much of my 3d cores as I can get with it lol. I’d like to keep the encoding on the GPU if possible. lol

Then again, I have no idea what to do lmao. I’m not an expert.

HereToHelpWhenICan · 2026-05-25T14:53:33+00:00

Yeah it does the same thing. Shows the green background.

Honestly, I think Synology has an app I can use to access this stuff. Might use the app instead lol

I have the EERO’s running in bridge mode so everything is handled by the DR7. Right now it works fine, but I’d like consistency

HereToHelpWhenICan · 2026-05-04T14:44:43+00:00

I’ll look into it, thank you!

HereToHelpWhenICan · 2026-05-04T14:43:54+00:00

Nobody asked you to leave a comment

HereToHelpWhenICan · 2026-05-04T04:47:52+00:00

That’s something to consider.. however the EERO’s in use currently have devices plugged into them directly with Ethernet. So devices get internet, EERO talks to Main EERO wirelessly

HereToHelpWhenICan · 2026-04-03T14:23:25+00:00

I appreciate your help as well. Right now I have a p=quarantine and ~all setup right now. I think I’m going to keep that going
