FAQ
Q1: Do you provide the NAS hardware or disks?
No. You must already have a NAS (Synology, QNAP or other brand) and disks. I can recommend suitable models and disk sizes for free before you buy anything, based on your needs.
Q2: Will you have access to my personal data on the NAS?
The goal is to work as safely as possible. I only need administrative access to configure the system, and you can create a temporary admin account and change all passwords once the work is completed.
Q3: Can you help me choose the right RAID or volume configuration?
Yes. I can suggest the best volume/RAID layout for your disks, balancing capacity, performance and redundancy so your data is better protected against drive failures.
Q4: Can you set up remote access to my NAS from outside my home or office?
Yes, if your internet connection and router allow it. I can configure secure remote access methods (vendor services or custom solutions) while limiting exposure to reduce security risks.
Q5: What information do you need to start working on my NAS?
I need your NAS brand and model, number and size of disks, a description of your network (router, switch, Wi‑Fi), what you want to use the NAS for, and whether you need local only or remote access.
Q6: Can you migrate data from an old NAS or external drive?
In many cases, yes. Depending on your setup, I can assist with planning and performing the migration or guide you step by step to move data safely without unnecessary risk.
