i've managed to get mine doing the basics (connected to all my computers and saving files in raid one) but i'm struggling with setting up to get the best from it. Are you using all the features and what model do you have? cheers

I have a DS1511+ with 5x 2TB drives running in RAID5 (~7.5TB useable), used for storage of everything.

All my docs are on it, with the important stuff synching to online 'cloud' backup. It streams TV to an XBMC box and all my music via the iTunes server. The gf has all her photography and art work backed up on it too. Got a couple if iSCSI disks for VM's too!

Great bit of kit, more expensive than building your own NAS but it's basically maintenance free. I deal with IT 8hrs a day and this just works which is worth the money.

Also added sabnzbd & sickbeard so it grabs all my TV eps automatically

I have the 211j. I'm not really using other features - I just manually store my media and important files on it and use it to stream to a wd tv live.

shame you're not more local - could do with some of your expertise!

trying to set up some of the more useful features, or even just making sure i'm doing things in the most efficient way. cheers

Was thinking about this recommended? the 2x bay one any good?

wellhouse · 29th February 2012, 18:19

i've bought the 212 model (black one with sd card input etc) with 2 x 2tb hard-drives, easy to set up but still working out all the features

Have a play with them all, if you don't know what they are just google them. Best thing is if they don't do something you can just turn them off again

Excellent devices. The two bay ones are great, the new 212J model will be fine most people... no need to go as extreme as mine until you've got a stupid amounts of data haha!
