That’s a lot of videos. Almost peter Jackson in length. I think they need to work on their narrative drive though - I lost the plot halfway through

I am in the market for a new NAS so this would be awesome!

 

 

 

A badge is cool too :)

I'm actually looking to upgrade my 918 to a 1520 but I mostly like badges!

I think the next giveaway will have no prizes, just badges...

 

But keep entering.

I also like NASes. Need some new storage as the current DS216 is getting a bit old and doesn't do much these days.


Two areas that particularly interest me is the C2 support with password management as the videos showed similar services to lastpass but with the ability to share among teams.

The other feature that really interests me is the Cloud backup services so being able to backup GSuite and what capabilities they have there.

If only I had the time to watch 127 minutes of video + 60 minutes for the keynote video.

Did someone say cookie? I mean badge!!

 

Not sure I can sit thru 2 hours and 9 minutes of video though.

 

Do you have to score 100% in the quiz?

 

I have a Drobo NAS which has the nice feature of being able to use drives of mixed capacities.

 

But they haven't updated anything in ages and it's all probably really old tech by now.

 

Would be nice to get on board with a company that is still developing kit and features while I actually have drives of all the same size!





Delete cookies?! Are you insane?!

DS920+ honestly looks like a great NAS for offsite backups...

 

 

 

Which is kinda what I need...

 

 

 

The tumblers look great too!
