    VPN Server - Need Help

    I think i will just answer my own question. It has something to do with Buffalo Router. I am now using a cheap TP-Link 841ND, so far much more reliable and got VPN working. My idea is that Buffalo has built in VPN server which somehow doesn't allow ALL things to pass through. Even though i...

    Can not access config page, but Router working fine

    What does this mean? I try ping the address and it response. Everything is working fairly well. Normally restarting it would solve the problem but i just want to ask if this is an common issue. My Router is Tp-Link 841ND, but i have had similar experience with many other brands of routers.

    Fast NAS

    I have been thinking about it lately. I think all the ingredients has matured, it is only the recent market of HDD price and and Software that is holding things up. A Media Server NAS, that serve as a NAS Box and Media Player. Lian Li has made a perfect Case for nearly everyone...

    Belkin MultiBeam Technology ??

    I am reading a PR which states Belkin has a new MultiBeam Technology that is unique to them. However reading from the previous review of Belkin N750 has no mention of it. Is it something new to the new line of Router? ( They have kept the same name for different model. So i am not even...

    Noisy DS212J

    If that is the case then it is not a Fan problem but a vibration problem, which is a lot worst since it damage the HDD. Oh BTW where did you bought it and how much was it?

    Best Interface?

    I struggled for a long time too. Not because of the UI though, it was only part of the equation. With the latest Synology x12 series, Synology has clearly won. But to Simply answer your questions, in terms of UI, Synology has been better then Qnap for a long long time.

    New synology NAS - x12

    Qnap has been sleeping? Well the time has come. Synology 's biggest weakness against Qnap were their casing design. From looks, and Air Flow design. I cant remember who pointed out Synology 7xx series has much better air flow design. Now the design has been passed on to all lower series, not to...

    is 25 MB/s with qnap 459 PRO II normal ?

    You transferring lots of small files? Even that the number doesn't sound right. I am guessing it is your Gigabit Ethernet Controller. Did you try using the PCI-E Port instead of the PCI one?

    Mac Mini as NAS + Media Player + Router?

    Thanks, never thought of that either. I think they should start putting these out with External Antenna and Multiple Ethernet Port. But for 249 this is very good deal indeed. Which again makes me wonder why the heck are those NAS costing arm and legs.

    New Qnap TS219P II

    I just found out the 119 PII Case is actually Plastic. Looking at the photos it seems 219P II share the same design therefore it is very likely they are not plastic instead of metal casing in 219P+. The HDD Tray is also plastic as well. I dont mind plastic, as long as the fan works well and...

    New Qnap TS219P II

    Yes. But to those that have been following all the way along, there naming system goes something like 2 Is the Drive Bay 19 is the series P i dont know anything about that Then + is like version 1.5. II is version 2. I must admit Synology has much better naming system.

    New Qnap TS219P II

    I wonder are we still CPU bound in terms of Read / Write Operation. In theory we should be given we are seeing higher transfer rate with every CPU improvement. However a Single Core Atom, as Synology DS712 can already perform close to 180MB/s with less then 30% CPU usage. So may be most of...

    New Qnap TS219P II

    http://www.qnap.com/cht/pro_detail_feature.asp?p_id=211 Yes, II is better then + if you are wondering about naming of Qnap NAS. It is basically a 219+ with a 2.0Ghz Marvell Kirkwood CPU i think.
