Hello, I do not understand. The 12 TB and 14 TB are 7200 rpm, the 6 TB is 5400 rpm. Doesn't the noise level depend on the rpm?
According to the WD documentation:
12 TB (WD120EFBX) or 14 TB
Iddle: 20 dB SeeK: 29 dB
6 TB (WD60EFZX)
Iddle: 25 dB SeeK: 30 dB
So far, I didn't want to buy a 2 bay, 2 x 12 TB HDD because I thought it would be noisier than a 4 bay, 4 x 6 TB HDD.
What is the truth?

Thank you very much for your reply, but what exactly do you mean?".It's simply too weak, and it falls out of many Synology applications because...
"As I wrote above I don't want to film, stream or dock. I want a plain office use where we store data, backup from there.
That's it. One gets a bit of a feeling that the answerers didn't read the question.I just don't need all these features like plex and others.Do I need the plus version for this?
Hello ladies and gentlemen,
I am a beginner and clueless, can you help me? :)
We are looking to buy our first NAS for home office use in our own small business for two people. We want to use it on WIFI, cabling is difficult.
We don't want to use the NAS for watching movies, running apps etc.
We need a central data store that we can access from two laptops, and this data store backs up automatically to an external HDD and the cloud.
We work 80% of the time with documents, pdf, excel, images, music files, but we also edit 5-10 full HD, sometimes 4k videos per month.
The videos are copied to the laptop with an SD card, edited there and then uploaded to the NAS. I suppose editing directly on the NAS would be slow.
Currently we have about 2.8 TB of data, in the next 3-4 years we will have 6-7 TB.
It is important that the NAS and HDD are both quiet. So basically we wanted to go for DS223 or DS224+ with 8 TB WD RED PLUS HDD.
However, I read that 8-12 TB is significantly noisier than 6 TB, so we considered DS423 or DS423+.
However, due to budget, we would only fit 1 6 TB HDD at first, 1 6 TB after 6 months, 1 6 TB after 6 months, etc. That's the idea.
-
In this case, should I set SHR, SHR-2 or RAID?
-
Which combination will be quieter? DS223/DS224+ with 2 x 8 TB HDD or DS423/DS423+ with 4 x 6 HDD? WD RED PLUS. For me, the 2 bay NAS with 2 x 8 TB HDD would be enough, but if it's loud, I prefer the 4 bay with 4x6 TB.
-
Over WIFI (NAS in the same apartment as the laptop) what download and upload speeds can I expect? Right now I am downloading torrents at about 40 mb/sec. If I take it from pCloud or other cloud, 5-10-20 mb/sec. Will the NAS be faster?
-
Given the usage described above, do we need the + version or is it unnecessary? I think it is unnecessary, but what do you think?
Thanks a lot, sorry if it got long or complicated!
Regards!
Hello,
We would like to buy our first NAS for home and home office use, in our own small business, for two people. We would like to use it on WIFI, the main thing is to have all data in one place and to make backups automatically from there.
We don't want to film, run servers, etc. Just store data in a central location and backup.
I was looking at DS224+ but have a few questions:
\- unfortunately we have a small apartment, the NAS would be about 3-4 meters from the bed where we sleep. how loud is a NAS? Like a running laptop?-
Are WD red, red plus, Synology or Seagate HDDs the quietest? What are your experiences? 8 TB.
\- For financial reasons I would buy only 1 8 TB HDD for the first time, no RAID1.
However, another external HDD would be plugged in and backed up to it, and also to the cloud. If I later buy another 8 TB HDD for the NAS, I can put it in without any problems and have RAID1?
Is it complicated to set up?I don't know the ports, IP, etc. I'm not a tech guru. Installing a windows program, etc. goes, but that's it. Can you get the NAS up and running in 1-2 hours?I don't have much time or inclination to deal with this for days, if it's a hassle I'd rather buy an external HDD, it's easier to copy.
Thanks!
Hello,
I have a small online business with my girlfriend, we work from two laptops.
Problem: some data of the business is on her laptop, other data is on my laptop. There is no backup of these.
We would like to have all (or part of) the company material in one place, so that if I edit something, she can see it immediately. Now it's chaos, mess between folders and we can't even see each other's data.
Besides, we should have a backup of the whole shared access file.
Currently we have about 2 TB of enterprise data, most of it video, this number will grow in the future
We edit and render the videos. After rendering, we delete the raw video files and leave the finished version, but it's a big size. Video editing is ad hoc, we usually edit 5-10 videos a month over a few days, so it doesn't happen every day.
The rest of the month we work with images, word, xls, etc. documents, watch saved videos on the computer, etc.
We tried using pCloud as a virtual cloud drive that we both have access to, but:
\- Uploading 10-30 gb video files and editing them there proved slow (uploads often 2 mb/s, even though we have fast internet)
\- there is sensitive data, I don't know if it should be stored there
\- from this virtual drive we should even have at least 2 backups automatically to an external drive and say to another cloud, we don't know how.
We also thought about not putting the edited videos on the pcloud driver, only on kulon vinyora, but then the system would fall apart again, everything would not be in one place.
Do you have any good ideas?
Thanks
