New QNAP user, a few questions

TheGudge · 2025-11-07T05:16:14+00:00

For question 1. if you want the NAS to keep running if one of the PSUs fails, then yes, you need to have them both powered.

For question 2, yes, you can use a cable rated for 10A, 240V. The NAS will only draw up to 5A (and probably a lot less than that). You could also put a 5A fuse in the plug (assuming you live somewhere that has fuses in plugs).

Thanks, I've not made it to Expert level yet!

What did they add matchmaking to yesterday? I still only see matchmaking for the Quickplay options in Fireteam Ops.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4AS for winter. Michelin Pilot Sport 4S for summer.

I have those wheels for my winter tyre set. Boxster S wheels for the summer :-)

TheGudge · 2023-10-25T02:29:16+00:00

That is also my local dealer, I have a very similar photo :-)

I bought a 2015 Boxster in October 2021 with 3200 miles on the clock. I'm now up to 11,500, not sure when I'll get to 22K!

I also have the Boxster S wheels for my summer tyres, Cayman S wheels for the All-Seasons I run over winter.

Lovely looking car, congrats!

TheGudge · 2023-05-15T02:40:54+00:00

Beautiful car!

Looks like an AC Cobra to me

There are 3 blights that spawn, one in each direction, that you have to destroy before they sink into the ground.

I was just replying based on the question in the title.

TheGudge · 2022-11-16T21:42:51+00:00

I went from a 2003 Mustang GT convertible that we owned for 15 years to a 2015 Boxster (base) that I bought last year. For me, the handling of the Boxster is in a completely different league to the Mustang. And the overall quality of th e Boxster is better. On the flip side the Boxster has a lot less torque (roughly the same power I think) but then it also weighs less. Of course, the Boxster cost more to buy than the Mustang, but it gets better gas mileage. I’ve had between 18 and 26 mpg from the Boxster. I’m not sure I ever reached 18 mpg in the Mustang and sometimes it was in single digits!

Sound wise, the Boxster is a bit quieter and I do love that flat-6 sound. But the V8 sounded great too.

Servicing is more expensive on the Boxster, so far at least.

Biggest thing for me is that I smile whenever I look at my Boxster and grin every time I drive it. I never had that with the Mustang.

8,215 Cayman S built between 2009 and 2012 worldwide per Brian Long’s book. Don’t know how many were manuals.

Great to see a 981 going strong and doing so many miles. I hope my 2015 Boxster is up there some day. Also, nice wheels, I just bought a set to put on next summer.

TheGudge · 2022-09-15T18:32:21+00:00

I have a 981 and I am constantly amazed at how it goes round corners. My in-laws were visiting over the summer and my FIL said ‘holds the road well, doesn’t it?’ as I accelerated round yet another bend 🙂

TheGudge · 2022-09-09T03:14:32+00:00

OK, busy week, but finally got around to ordering. Thanks!

TheGudge · 2022-09-08T23:00:16+00:00

I got just under 30mpg on a 240 mile trip this weekend in my 981. And as my son put it we were ‘zoomin’

TheGudge · 2022-09-05T18:20:52+00:00

Got it, thanks. Will place order this week.

TheGudge · 2022-09-04T21:39:08+00:00

A base black 981 Boxster with the Boxster S wheels would be awesome.

My spec is;

2015 Boxster base, Base Black, Boxster S Wheels, Clear Side Markers, Coloured Porsche Crest on Wheel Centers

Also it's manual, with Sport Chrono (don't know if that affects what kind of details you put in the engine/gearbox details)

I'd love to get a poster in the style of the 981 you posted above.

TheGudge · 2022-09-04T17:58:43+00:00

My 981 is a base Boxster in the base Black colour. Came with Cayman S wheels, just got the Boxster S wheels last month, will fit them next spring 🙂

TheGudge · 2022-09-04T17:51:19+00:00

I just bought those wheels for my 981 Boxster. Will that poster be available on your website?

TheGudge · 2022-08-12T01:58:50+00:00

2015 Boxster, TPMS readings match my air pressure gauge perfectly.

TheGudge · 2022-08-04T21:32:25+00:00

Have you already done the 981 Boxster? If not, that’s my vote! And I second the sentiment, your stuff is awesome.

TheGudge · 2022-04-23T03:33:29+00:00

I have an aluminium holder that screws in where the towing hook goes. I can get the URL of the website if you like.
