Fresh Costumer to ReadyNAS 104, quick review and some questions...
Hello dear friends... For some years now, i have being using home NAS to Cloud Services, since the BITCASA Fiasco, where i lost some very important files that where irreplacable... Being a very cau...
Hello Eskender,
Thanks for your reply.
Well i did configure a static IP for the NAS, should i add anything else on that part?
Im trying to install the apps from the NAS Interface.
I go to Apps, the "available apps" and then i click install.
The Dropbox function i did see on the Backup part, but no other cloud solution was listed there... Any reason why? Some kind of exclusivity deal or something?
I use the Gdrive because i have an android ecosystem that i use for work. On the Synology there are a agnostic app that uses several cloud services that allow for sync the files and folders with ease...
Are NetGear considering this approach? Gdrive extra security layer is for me a plus!
Do the ReadyNAS OS (Does it have a name?), allows for automatic updates? Or some form of information that an update is available? That is important because sometimes i don´t have the time to manually check if there is any new version of the OS.
I have allready see the 6.4.0 Beta version that are being tested, but my point is are these kind of updates regular?
Are enhancements being expected on the GUI front of things?
Or any of the other things i reported? The fan control is very needed, because with that manual control we can control for silence or noise, or balance...
As for the mapping i can do a map drive of a shared folder, but if i do that i cant see the space in properties... like i have on that mapped drives in the synology... Why is that?
Also what is best... Mapping a Folder by creating a drive with the full space of the volume or create IScsi LUN?
Also about the dual lan ports, i have a Netgear Router, is there any special sinergy of configuration due to the fact that are 2 products from the same company?
With my best regards,
Paulo Eduardo
Hello Paolo,
on the same dialog, where you set the static IP address is also a tab for setting the DNS server. Please make sure that this information is also entered. Thinking of it, if you are presented with Apps on the admin page most likely everything is set correctly. However, it might be worth checking.
I believe Dropbox is the only external Cloud Service integrated at the moment.
Concerning the firmware there is no scheduled interval at which new releases are provided. This is also due to an extensive beta phase of varying time. Once a new firmware is released you will be notified when you login to the local admin page. An auto-update feature is not implemented and I believe would not serve well.
When I create a mapping and check the properties Windows displays the total occupied and free space on the ReadyNAS. Are you not seeing any information or would like to see the information per share? In terms of total available size no change would to be expected as currently a share could occupy all space on the ReadyNAS.
I would choose a normal share/mapping unless you have specific reason to use iSCSI.
For Link Aggregation configuration is still required on both ends. In terms of performance I would not expect to see any benefit in a normal environment.
Unfortunately, I cannot provide information on which new features will implemented at which time. However, experience has shown that feedback does have influence on the development process. A request for specific elements may be elevated depending on the response of other users to it.
Thanks, Eskender
