User questions & answers

Question:	what if the NAS device fails? Can you remove the drives and put in another device to recover data or are they hardware layer encrypted
Answer:	Yes. A long story short, my WD My Cloud Mirror suffered a "blown out" ethernet port due to a lightening strike. I purchased the EX2 Ultra (diskless) and placed my old WD Red drives, that were in the My Cloud Mirror, and it worked flawlessly. It didn't skip a beat. I was up and running like nothing happened. I was so relieved that the content on the drives were unaffected!
Question:	Is the 8tb option include 1 drive at 8tbs or 2-4tb hdds
Answer:	2 4TB drives wich can then be run in a raid configuration.
Question:	Im assuming any advertised capacity would be half using raid
Answer:	Well, this is an old question, so nobody will see my glorious contribution; but here goes anyway! In order to use RAID 1, the two drives in use for that must be of the same size. They should be identical --- well nearly so. But, if one of the drives is slower than the other, the slower drive controls the speed (obviously). Two 6 TB drives in RAID 1, however, does not give you exactly 6 TB. There is a small part of the discs that gets assigned overhead duty to keep track of the status of the mirroring and to manage the mirroring. You could assume a high percentage --- maybe even more than 99%. I can't find any real figures for it, but since a 6 TB drive doesn't hold 6 TB anyway, you might just assume something like 5.98 TB for two nominal 6 TB drives in RAID 1. Keep in mind that RAID isn't free!! Not only is the capacity of the RAID array less than the combined capacity of the drives, there is also a performance hit because everything has to be written more than once and depending on which RAID (n) you choose, it may be split across several drives. Another consideration which I had not previously considered is the age of the drives. If you start with two identical drives, four years from now each of those drives will have been in service for, guess what, four years. If one of them fails, the other may not be long behind. Some folks (what we usually refer to as "THEY") would suggest a mix of drive ages. Your mileage may vary, as "they" say. :-)
Question:	Has anyone used this nas with plex
Answer:	I am going to buy the 4 bay version. If I can stream from Plex using 2 old Lenovo IX4-300D's than I am sure the ARMADA 388 1.6ghz chip will be fine for steaming from Plex. The Lenovo only has a 1.2ghz chip and ARMADA XP chip in it.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can it be used as a datastore for esxi or backup VMs
Answer:	Technically you can but not recommended. You will likely get terrible performance because the CPU and memory is not designed for this use case. 512MB RAM is very low for a datastore. This model is really geared towards traditional file sharing and media streaming. You want something with higher CPU and read/wrtie caching like the DS218/DS218+.
Question:	Is the memory upgradable
Answer:	No, the DS220j only supports 512MB
Question:	what physical size harddrives can be used
Answer:	Carlos is correct. 16tb is the limit of the ds218j or 8tb in raid configuration and the DS220j is 2ea 12 Tb for a total of 24Tb or 12Tb, in used in a raid situation.
Question:	If single drive is installed initially, then 2nd drive is added later. does raid 1 get configured? or does both drive need to be installed together
Answer:	I installed one drive initially, and then added a second drive later. The second drive was automatically added as a Raid 1 drive.

Answer:	Thr cpu is undervolted already by the razer with -100 so you don t have to do nothing. It has good cooling also
Question:	Anyone use this successfully as a Plex media server
Answer:	I believe it's also because of the 2070 SUPER Max-Q to 2080 SUPER Max-Q. That would be the price difference right there, along with the 512 GB would make it not so bad. However, I recommend upgrading the storage and memory anyways (they use brand name storage like Samsung for memory and storage, but it's not the same as getting the best in the market on Black Friday.

User questions & answers

Question:	for redundancy does it require all disks be matched, capacity and firmware/model
Answer:	Ideally, setting up RAID (the term for redundanncy) does stipulate similar, if not identical disks. There are complex math calculations the device does in writing redundant issues across multiple drives. If you use different type/size drives, the system will use the least common denominator in capacity available on each drive.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there any subscription fee, or just 1 time purchase? Is data stored on WD servers somewhere or is the cloud just the physical hard drive at home
Answer:	Yes.
Question:	Does it require a static public IP address? Or can I use domain name using a product like NO-IP.org
Answer:	No, it does not connect to other devices. This is strictly a disc to disc duplicator. It will not copy from a different media format to duplicate to a dvd/cd disc. Thank you very much.
Question:	I'd like to set this up to set aside a certain amount of space for time machine backups for two macs and have the rest for network storage. How
Answer:	Hi, it will burn at 8x as the writing speed is also determined by the media that you used. The maximum speed of the burner is 24x, but the media would also need to support at the highest speed of the burner to burn at the maximum speed. If the blank disc is only 4x at top burning speed, then it's going to be duplicating at 4x. This is not a hardware issue, but the blank media's issues.
Question:	Can i use the built-in USB port to access the files writeen in the HD Faster, or the access is only throught network connection
Answer:	yes it will. I have copied many cds that I have made. it is quick too.
