I do not want my ASUS router as an AP. I want to buy Unify AP and run the controller in a docker on the Qnap. The ASUS router is only AC Wifi and I plan to do some Wifi 6E or even 7 depending on the price on the APs. I also have cables for 2 APs outside, since I want to make sure my whole ground...

Thank you! I will look for some ASIC router that can do VLAN. I may be able to get a good enterprise router for a decent price from my work. Just not sure what to look for, it may have to be the Dream Machine I was looking at first.

I was indeed worried about latency. I don't do a bunch of small things, mostly online gaming as small packets. I do occasionally go on a shopping spree for Blu Rays and I bulk transfer them to the Qnap. Last weekend I got 20 new movies I plan to add. I like having the 10G for that purpose. I...

I never use my home wifi. I have 1TB on my phone plan, so I don't want to use it at all on my phone. The 5G is already at 500mbps. It also wouldn't help me that much. It would mean that everything is tunnelled through my home, which isn't ideal if I'm half way around the world and just want to...

The issue for me is that I do not want to connect to a VPN every time I want to check the cameras from my phone. I want to open the app and see. I know myself in this regard, and I will change it very fast to make it convenient. A Windows RDP would also make it easy to get into the network...

The problem for me here is that when I have RDP, maybe Windows, open to the internet, and the same goes for port 80 for the Qnap (need for backup apps and surveilance) I feel like I am very vulnerable, and I would like to seperate the systems from each other, yet still have them stream what...

I bought a house some months ago, and I am starting to be settled in a little bit, and I have been preparing a complete new setup from scratch. I plan to have the following: 6 Unify Access Points 4 IP cameras Plex xTeVe for IPTV in Plex Virtualized Windows / Ubuntu I have run cat 6 cables...

I guess chkdsk could help you out a little bit, but still won't do exactly what you want. If you only use the drives once per year to avoid bit rot maybe the best is to build a NAS using the ZFS filesystem, then turn it on once per year. Another way to store data long term would be tape, but I...

I did not really understand that. If you are looking for GUI interface you are out of luck. Smartmontools is about as simple as it gets. I posted the link earlier.

Smart takes one second because it's the short one that only does mechanical tests. If the drive overheats during tests, you should get some more cooling for it. You will run into it during production as well. As previously mentioned you need to use smartmontools to start the long self-test...

So the surface and error scan is just a tool to check if each sector is readable. I would steer away from that, it doesn't make much sense, as the long self-test does exactly that, just in the background with minimal interruption for the general usage of the drive. The long self-test also let's...

That is hard to know when you do not mention it. However: https://www.smartmontools.org/wiki/Download#InstalltheWindowspackage I would still run a long self-test on it, I wouldn't use a scan, no idea what it's actually doing. I suspect the long self-test is about the same, just runs directly...

Can you provide the exact message from Linux? Can you provide a smartctl -x of the drive?

I'd say reading the smart is enough. I am not sure what a surface scan actually is (I didn't really use the tools you mentioned). I believe smartctl is the better tool. I have seen drives look just fine in their smart, but then fail the long self-test, so you could run that a few times per...

When you purchase the tertiary riser you do indeed need the little part you are asking for. It is a blank but is basically impossible to find. About a year ago I was trying to find it as well, and had to purchase the riser upgrade as factory sealed, then it is included. Most refurb do not know...

The 3Par drives have a different caddy because they go into the 3Par system. The chassis itself is made by Xyratex, they also make the chassis for the competitor IBM V7000. I believe they also make the chassis for some Microsoft storage systems (yes they exist) and others too. IBM moved away...

I think you have two separate issues here, and good to hear that you solved the inventory thing, I cannot say if what we did is what triggered it to change, it may have been a random event, but I remember clearly the broken SAS controller doing weird things Your overtemp issue could then be...

I have had the exact same thing happen to a newer EPYC rack server. It kept the old CPU and memory information in the BMC, but the BIOS for the server was reporting correct, and the system was running. No over temp warnings though. I was not the one who solved the issue, however I remember...

PSU: It looks like the system supports 2 GPUs, and that your configuration is not the only one Dell made. The 1000W is probably the lower spec because it is expected to run with a higher power GPU, or even 2. Your system might be a lower-spec model where the same PSU was used for upgrade...

No one is going back multiple pages to find the link. I wouldn't think of it either. If not posted it's not used, and then what good is it to have online, if no one uses it? I have been sharing through private messages for a long time now, it's nice to just dump a link that people can use. If...
