Hi ,

I'm new to NAS, few months ago I purchased Buffalo Personal Cloud Storage , which I sold back after a week because even to copy using local connection it requires forever to copy 1 GB file. Eventhough to have the bitorent feature is nice.

I was told that Synology is the best.

I would want to ask for recommendation which NAS should I buy in Singapore , I will need fast copy on local connection, other features is bonus.

Thank you in advance!

Have you check if your connection to the router is gbit?

[groovinZhou]

Hi yes is gbit, the LAN cable need to be special? Because I just use the one come with the box which suppose to be gbit compbatible right? I tried in my office also receive same speed.

My budget around $300 - $600

I won't recommend a NAS for you but I just purchased a Synology DS-212j from Storage Studio (5th floor). Both pre-sales and after-sales support was great. Had an issue with the first unit (entirely my fault as it turned out afterwards) but they exchanged it and set it up without hesitation.

I've just upgraded from wd mybooklive to buffalo linkstation pro duo.
I also thinking to get synology.
Transfer speed is on par with synology j series.
Only apps not much but I only want is bt remote access.
Set up remote web access and bittorent. Perfect for my usage for my budget.

What copying speed were you having with the old NAS box?

What disk space / sizes are you looking at?

Depending on disks, an off-the-shel NAS might go over your budget.

[Zextronic]

go for Synology or QNAP

their entry level of NAS is around your budget

Thanks all for the reply. Getting more confused lol. I can't remember the speed but a wild guess to remember is like 30GB require days to finish, and 1GB require 1hr++ to finish.

I think 2TB should be enough for me. What is the difference between Buffalo Link Station and Synology?

Will Buffalo link station transfer faster than my previous: Buffalo CloudStor® Pro Personal Cloud Storage (1TB)?

[groovinZhou]

Sorry for another dumb question. Where to buy the Synology products in Singapore?

Are you using wired or wireless connection?

[bravobb]

1. How much data do you need to store ?
2. Do you need fast network ?
3. Do you need reliability ?
4. Do you have a budget ?

[groovinZhou]

Wireless connection. I tried in 2 environments, same result
Do you think the problem is my setup not the Buffalo cloudstore? I thinking Linkstation will do better? I expecting the speed like when I copy to my external HDD , not possible?

1. I need about 1TB or 2TB only
2. I need fast network
3. Of course reliability
4. Budget $300-600

[fribro]

Oh, wireless even use synology might be same results.

[groovinZhou]

Hmm, but if I copy from 1 laptop to another laptop using wireless router it can be very fast. NAS not able to have that speed?
