Don't know what version of Acronis you have but you can check their forums - Acronis forums

Thanks for the suggestions but I don't have Wake On Lan configured, so that's not the issue.

I just ordered 4 10TB WD Red Pro Drives direct from Western Digital. Got a $200 dollar bundle discount off that so it brought it down to $879 + taxes. I agree, but I also like to be proactive. I usually start looking at PC components at around the 5-year mark. And most definitely start...

Thanks, and as a reminder, I'm looking at replacement options should my WD NAS finally give out. I'm just looking to be proactive as opposed to reactive. In short, I'm just thinking of the future. All that said, you bring up some really good points and in fact we think alike here for a number...

I actually thought about a mini-PC for a NAS, but also wonder would it hold up 24/7/365 as my WD NAS has so far for the last 6 years?

The only issue I have with my Z890 Gigabyte board is sometimes when I do a shutdown, about 30 seconds later the system will boot back up. This forces me to hit the PS switch when I need the PC to stay shutdown. Still haven't figured out the issue yet, and this was before and after a new BIOS...

Thanks. It's part of my compulsive tendency to have things done right and look professional. I feel like if I'm going to do it, do it right :-) Anyway, those cables sound amazing on my setup. Very happy with the cable choice.

No, but you can come and be my apprentice as teach you how to build them :p But seriously, cables aren't that hard to build, and there's plenty of how-to YouTube videos, and how I leaned. The biggest hurdle is soldering and being careful not to get it all over the place to cause a short, or...

Thanks for the suggestions, and I've been using a UPS forever, so yes, my NAS is on a UPS. Additionally, had you read my first post, you'd know I have a NAS, and have had it up and running since 2019. Also, I never buy anything without doing research. It's my number one rule before purchasing...

I have the original which I played years ago, and the game that got me into Skyrim which I also played. Anyway, I'm thinking about getting Oblivion Remastered but I'm not sure I have the patience to go through the game again, with all its content. Also, the reason I've never been able to do...

Anyway... You use other drives with Synology. It's their QVL listings that's got some puzzled (5-minute mark).... It also supports WD's Red Pro Drives (Synology Products Compatibility List) so for "me" not an issue. All that said, I still haven't made up my mind, and the one thing that bugs...

You quoted my post yet ask me a question I answered in the post you quoted '🤷‍♂️ And no it's not the HDDs I'm worried about.... yeah, I'll replace those, but....

I've read the same controversy and they're not forcing you to use anything; they're just alluding you can't use certain drives. That said, if you read my post, you'd know I am using WD Red Pro drives in my NAS now and will be using them in whatever NAS box I get as a replacement. BTW, I...
