Data integrity rn104
I am using a rn104 for my main media server and run backups from the rn104 to external drives MY drives in the nas are WD REDS in JBOD mode What I was wondering is there any data integrity check...
Bit-rot protection can be enabled/disabled at the per share level.
There may be a performance impact from using anti-virus particularly on a cost effective device such as the RN104 but Anti-Virus software running on the NAS would scan files on the NAS for viruses. Anti-Virus software running on your PC presumably wouldn't scan files on the NAS itself.

Sometimes there are settings that do allow this, especially if the NAS shares are mounted on the PC as drive letters.
Also, if the AV software includes real-time protection, the files on the NAS will be scanned whenever a PC application opens them.
