Has anyone else used Asustor NASs? Just learned of them, they seem like a competent alternative to Synology (especially after their security debacle a couple months ago).
- geerlingguy 5y agoHonestly I hadn't heard about them much until this year (I guess a big marketing push?). They seem to have offerings about on par with Synology/QNAP (at least in terms of features), though at a slight discount. I've been happy enough with the Lockerstor 4 that I finally gave up my Mac mini setup entirely and am routing all my home data to the NAS. I'll be adding a second NAS soon for two local copies of _all_ data (not just the active projects I'm working on), plus a backup to Glacier.
- JohnWhigham 5y agoHow do you do backups to Glacier? Do you stuff all your media in there once a month?
- geerlingguy 5y agoI have a weekly script that uses rclone to sync all the relevant folders from my NAS to an S3 Glacier Deep Archive bucket. It works well enough, though my slow 35 Mbps uplink from my home is the limiting factor. Sometimes when I do some large video projects that are 30-60 GB in size, the upload to the bucket can take a couple days :(
- dangravell 5y agoThey've been around quite a while, but just seem to be gathering momentum. Synology have put a few feet wrong just recently. With QNAP also on a marketing push I'm looking forward to some competition in this space.
