What are the warning signs when a NAS hard drive is broken? My red plate lasted five years before dying; I missed the first three of the five signals
NAS mechanical drives don't break down suddenly; it often takes about half a year from the emergence of bad circuits to complete failure. The five warning signs of my Western Digital red disc—clicking noise, speed cliff, poor sleep quality, background alarm, and pending sector—I stubbornly missed the first three. This article explains the red and yellow cards of the five SMART numbers, and if you find any issues, back up before replacing the disc....

NAS hard drive sleeping and waking up after repeated failures? I spent the whole night checking logs, and only these few people secretly wrote down the tablets
NAS has the hard drive put into sleep but finds the hard drive keeps spinning? After setting it to 10 minutes of sleep mode, the hard drive was awakened more than 40 times overnight. I logged in with SSH and waited overnight using iotop, uncovering those who secretly wrote on qBittorrent, monitoring containers, and transcoding directories. This article clearly explains the troubleshooting order and which drives should be put to sleep....

What exactly is Docker on Feiniu NAS? Once I understood the terms mirroring, port mapping, and directory mounting, I went from being confused to installing eight containers
Feiniu NAS wants to install a downloader or photo album, but the tutorial is full of terms like image, container, port mapping, directory mounting, and so on—just one glance and you're discouraged? I've used more than half a year of experience to clearly explain the essential things you need to understand when getting started with Docker: why data can't be stored in containers, who is on the left and right sides of the port, why does the container still exist after deleting something? After reading this, you can install the first one yourself....

How to choose RAID for NAS? I've used RAID1, RAID5, and RAID6 all. At home, just use a few drives to match your numbers and don't copy your homework
NAS the first thing to do after installation is to choose RAID mode. What exactly is the difference between RAID1, RAID5, RAID6, or BASIC without RAID6? I use the real data of three arrays I've built: how to calculate available capacity, what happens if a disk breaks, how long it takes to rebuild, and what RAID can't save—a table to help you identify the situation. ...

How much does a NAS cost for electricity per month? My Feiniu, which runs 24 hours a day, tested for a year, and the bill is different from what you think
many people want to buy a NAS but worry about wasting electricity when running 24/7, I put my N100 Feiniu NAS on the meter at home and tested it for a whole year: how many watts it has in standby, whether it saves on hard drive sleep, how much does it compare to Synology's four-drive drive, and how much does it cost in a year? This article will show you the math. ...

Is it worth upgrading NAS memory? Comparing the 4GB/8GB/16GB levels, I've tried both Feiniu and Synology
I upgraded my Feiniu N100 mini PC from 4GB all the way up to 16GB, running Docker, transcoding, and web backend switching back and forth for half a year. The three-tier real-world comparison shows which scenarios you must upgrade in and which are where paying extra is wasted....

Should NAS go to a 10-Gigabit intranet? I upgraded from Gigabit to 2.5G, and after checking the 10 Gigabit account, I got it back
my home NAS gigabit intranet for movies is only 110MB/s. I upgraded to 2.5G and spent 280, tested it to 290. Then I recalculated the 10Gbps bill: network card, switch, cable, and hard drive all messed up. Who really needs it, and who is just a waste of money? This article will help you figure it out. ...

How to choose between Synology and Feiniu? I used Synology for two years before installing Feiniu, running both sets for a long time. Here's a comparison chart for you to copy
How should you choose between Synology and Feiniu? I've used the DS220+ for two years, and I've run Feiniu fnOS on the N100 mini PC for over half a year, so I've been using both systems for a long time. This article compares six dimensions: price, suite ecosystem, Docker, photo backup, remote access, and data security, clearly explaining who chooses Synology with their eyes closed, who prefers FeiNiu, and also offers a compromise between dual-system parallel systems. ...

Is the cache value of a NAS solid-state drive? I spent 430 yuan to buy a block as a cache, and after three months, I removed it and used it as a download drive
Is NAS really useful for plugging in an SSD as a cache? I used a 430-yuan Zhitai 256GB on my Feiniu NAS as a cache for three months. The download speed and photo loading didn't change, only the Docker container started a few seconds faster. This article explains exactly who caches it speeds, which uses it effectively, and which ones are wasted money. ...

Should NAS buy two or four slots? I've used both machines, so let me calculate this for you. Don't save first and replace it like I did
Should NAS buy two or four slots? My first unit was the DS220+ with dual drive drives. A year later, when the drive was full, I switched to four drive slots, and the extra cost was far greater than the price difference of just one case. This article will analyze the RAID configurations for both drive slots, real capacity, expansion options, and electricity costs: who needs two drives, who goes straight to four, and whether to add SSD cache while you're at it. Read this before placing an order—it's worth it....
