  • Is it worth buying 1 bay NAS?

    • No. It defeats the purpose of a NAS

  • Nice but 1 bay NAS might not be safe to store data
    When the harddisk is dead, basically you lose everything

    Better to go with the 2-bay or 4-bay options where you always have a backup when 1 disk fails

    • +4

      Yeah but at the same time that's the risk with pretty much any single disk external hard drive. This is just an external HDD (enclosure) that also has NAS functionality.

      Is it arguably better to get a 2-Bay for RAID functionality? Probably. Can you get one for under $90? Probably not.

      • what you pay what you get 😁

      • If you have nbn, maybe a better option is cloud-based backups?

    • +1

      While a good suggestion, I would suggest for a remote (and/or online) backup even if you've 2/4 bay Raid setup. A total system can go nuts (or catch fire, or get stolen etc. etc.) and you loose it all!

      A good read:

      • totally agree with the remote backup as well. only that currently most household user have extremely slow broadband upload speed unless they are nbn connected

        • +1

          Even if they are on a slow ADSL connection it makes no difference, sure it will take time to upload but you don't have to watch it happening. Prioritise the data you want to upload and do it gradually until it's all done.

        RAID is not a backup solution but a high-availability solution. Good idea to have both :)

    • Still need a backup regardless, if you need availability then yeah 1 disk won't cut it.

    • Better to go with the 2-bay or 4-bay options where you always have a backup when 1 disk fails

      RAID is NOT a BACKUP!!!!!!

      Nice but 1 bay NAS might not be safe to store data

      Why not?

      When the harddisk is dead, basically you lose everything

      And when the RAID set is corrupted? Or an external force deletes the data? Or when the power supply takes out the drives? Or if the nas is stolen? Or if the house burns down? Or any one of a myriad of other issues eventuate.

      • Sorry for the term "Backup". What I mean is high availability..

        In 2-bay option, running as RAID 1 will create a mirror data set between 2 disks, as long as 1 disk is still operational, data are still retrievable. My 2-bay NAS have been twice having Bad sectors on 1 disk before, and because the 2nd disk is still working fine, my NAS will warn me to change the problem disk with a new disk, which then it will copy all the data back to it and resume the RAID set.

        For a 1-bay NAS, you will not be able to do such operation when the only disk fails. Connecting an external USB drive or Backing up to the Cloud as scheduled backup will ensure data safety though, but there might still be data lost during the backup interval.

    • Until you have issues with RAID controllers, or the array, or multiple disks failing at the same time if from the same bad batch. (Ive seen that one happen before) I prefer multiple standalone disks and run a script to keep them in sync. Cheaper and can store them easily in different physical locations, but you need to be proactive with keeping the disks in sync. But even with that, I still use cloud backup services and burn critical stuff to DVD. call me paranoid

      True. But I didn't put the "@ Wireless 1" into the title. Someone else edited it!!

        Bastards!

  • Is it possible to connect external hard drives via USB ?

    • Cannot see why not, has 3 usb drives (2x usb3 too)
      You could do a USB backup of the NAS (what I do for my nas as a precaution) or even cloud connect for the backup (onedrive, google drive, dropped password box etc)
      A good price as a simple backup device (MAC backups etc)…

    • Yes, have had one of these for a couple of years. Have a external drive connected to a USB port and scheduled backup to the external drive weekly.

  • -2

    1 bay nas.. just marginally better than an external HDD plugged into the router…

  • Quite keen on this one. Is there an app where we can download torrents directly onto the NAS and anyone can comment on the reliability/speed of this app?

    • Yeah, that is what I was thinking, more for the apps then as the main NAS in the house, low power download server …. put one of my old 500GB SSDs in it and when full transfer to NAS, but in the mean time low power server to run 24x7.

      • Does this support a SSD? The spec says it only supports 3.5.

    • It's built in - called "Download Station".

      https://www.qnap.com/en-au/app_center/index.php?qts=4.3&type…

      • Great. Seeing that the nas only has 0.5gb ram is the performance of the Download station going to be affected?

  • +1

    Thanks OP. Ordered one.
    The deal is back again.

  • +2

    Been using the smaller brother of this (TS-110) for a few years, had a fan failure a few weeks ago and when I took it apart to get measurements for a replacement fan, gave it a bit of a clean, put it back together and it's been going fine again.

    Initially looked at getting multi-bay NAS but realised it's overkill for my needs. The NAS is used for local backup of computers at home, plus media serving. I put the money I saved getting a single drive NAS into 2x USB3 external HDDs which I use for offsite backup/storage - they're kept at work and once a week I bring one back, plug it in to automatically sync from NAS to HDD, then bring it back to work the next day.

    sickbeard and sabnzbd work well for downloading NZBs from from usenet/newsgroups. There's also couch potato which is supposed to be better than sickbeard.

  • Lots of stock is available.

    I don't know who marked it as out of stock - wasn't me!!!

    • It was out of stock and reported as such this morning, looks like they added more stock a couple hours ago:

      27-Apr-17 12:33:48 AEST
      Description

      Postage Terms

      Removed the expiry, you can also press 'edit' on your own deal in the future FYI.

  • Anyone has a recommendation for a cheap, fast, reliable, low-power 8TB HDD to put on this thing?

  • It has $109 as the price.

    • Use code for 20% off

  • This has eSATA, while the 2 bay model doesn't. So a second drive can be connected to that.
