    DHCP and NetBIOS support?

    When I setup reservation IP in DHCP and assign my printers's hostname to "printer". The command "ping printer" will resolve and work on Linux machine, and will fail to resolve on Windows machines. If I do an "nslookup printer" on a Windows machine it will resolve, and if I do "ping printer." on...

    Reliable consumer NAS brands?

    Are there any brands known for impeccable reliability or to be highly unreliable? I'm thinking mostly about unrecoverable volume failures, and failing to rebuild a volume properly after a drive failure. I was about to buy another Synology but I noticed some complaints about losing the entire...

    New Synology 1010+

    Nope. You can configure however you want with as many disks as you want. You can do 2 two disk volumes, one that's RAID 0 and the other RAID 1 if you want. Synology has documentation on the valid RAID upgrade paths. If you do RAID 5 with four disks you can always add a fifth later and grow...

    New Synology 1010+

    I would try the Synology and QNap forums and search for the things you prefer and see how owners of both units generally feel regarding those things. The software has a lot of extras that most people don't really use so it's going to come down to performance, capacity and the RAID...

    New Synology 1010+

    I fully expect the users doing the graphic editing won't notice a difference, or the difference will be neglible compared to a local hard drive. I suspect the guy doing video editing will notice it a bit more. However, you can spend a lot of money trying to build a NAS (or SAN) that has the...

    New Synology 1010+

    You need to understand your office environment. How many people, how often, is it a simple read once and write once file operation or is it more of a live connection like database files. Once you understand the answers to the questions above, you should be able to use this site's comparison...

    New Synology 1010+

    I already opted to buy the DS1010+ so all of my questions are no longer relevant. Thanks for the response! Cheers, Scott

    Yah.. the proof will be in the benchmarks. Cheers, Scott

    New Synology 1010+

    I was thinking about this overnight. Even dual gigabit Ethernet and its inefficiencies even when fully saturated is slower than the single rate over eSATA. So I'd suspect the big performance hit will be in RIAD rebuild times, and possibly rare latency hits due to the short term bursts that...

    New Synology 1010+

    Are you suspecting the single eSATA will starve the throughput of the additional 5 drives? I'm not considering the expansion. At least not for a very long time. I figure by the time I will out grow 5 2TB drives it'll be a good time for a NAS upgrade anyway. Thanks for the input. I...

    New Synology 1010+

    No response. I may be trying to be *too* smart prior to purchasing. Based on what I think I'm finding on the forums of all of the NAS products I'm considering, I think I have a good idea for the features and level of support (tech support or community) I'll get from each of the...

    New Synology 1010+

    I have a few very specific technical questions about this NAS. For anyone that owns or still has it, could you PM me so we can collaborate offline? In the interest of keeping this thread objectively focused on reviewing this NAS, I'd prefer to keep my questions private and post a summary once...

    Windows style permissions?

    Is there a way to search the SNB database of NAS's for this? For Windows Storage Server or are you already confident that WSS is way out of home user price range? I read on a QNAP forum that permissions are done per share only which is ridiculous. As a test I fired up OpenFiler in a VM and...

    Windows style permissions?

    Do any NAS's support Windows style permissions? What do I look for? Can I assume that if a NAS supports AD for authentication that it also supports Windows style permissions that can be set directly from within Windows Explorer? Cheers, Scott
