To do:

New Main NAS WIP

  • Migration to new NAS:
    • Setup as mirrored
    • Create Storage pools / Volumes
    • Migrate main NAS from DS216SE to this Qnap TS-430

Rationalise old NAS boxes

Possible goal: Other than main NAS above, 1 semi remote backup box

  • Possibly locate in Glasshouse or Single Gge and/or in Small fire safe
  • Use SSD, (currently have 2TB Samsung QVO in DS107)
  • Does this need to be in a NAS, could just be an external USB3?

Windows 10 PC + Raid 5 array

  • Move 4TB drive from Dell XPS2710 to this box
  • Sell options:
    • Entire PC with Raid 5 controller & at least 4 x 4TB drives

Synology DS207Plus

  • Windows 10 enable SMB1:
    • Go to Control Panel–>Programs–>Turn Windows features on or off
    • Check SMB 1.0/CIFS
    • Maybe: Control Panel > File Services > Advanced > WS-Discovery > “Enable windows network discovery to allow file access via SMB”
