Is it compatible with ENH500? Cant seem to link up the 2 together. Bought an ENS500EXT to multipoint it with ENH500. Need Help configuring WDS AP..

I can't be 100% sure about the 2 different models, I do run the ENS500EXT units in WDS and they communicate just fine. Make sure firmware on both units is up to date. Both set to N-mode, both set to the same channel width, both set manually to the same channel. Running wireless N mode mandates WPA2-AES encryption, so make sure both are set up that way and have the same access code. Running WDS requires static IP's be set on both units, and each units MAC address be registered in the setup for all units in WDS affiliation with them. Clients connecting to the WDS nodes require static IP or a separate router to operate as a DHCP server for them. I am just thinking off of the top of my head, I do have set up WDS configurations, but mainly use these units as AP's, or point-to-point bridges. Maybe someone else here can comment further, I know from trying to contact Engenius customer support in the past, their support staff is essentially non-existent. Good Luck.

I have two that linked just fine. In addition to Melissa F's comment I found that setting the bandwidth to auto helps as I wasn't able to use the maximum bandwidth. Also make sure to save your settings from the top of the left menu. Unit should reboot after. I had problems with it not saving while using certain versions of Firefox.

It's not listed as compatible, your best bet is to use a drive listed as compatible from the NAS category of drives, purpose built for use in a NAS.

6TB Drives are supported. I am currently running it on my DS2413+ NAS.https://www.synology.com/en-us/compatibility/hd/DS2413+

Yes I use it with WHS 2011 and StableBit DrivePool. All drives show as Individual drives.

Don't know. All this thing does is provide the power of two USB ports rather than one USB port to the same device. Is that adequate? The size of the drive should not matter, whether 500 GB, 1 or 2 TB--it is just surface area; RPM may be a factor. since more power maybe required to spin faster. I got mine for the 7,200 RPM drives--recommended for such--but ended up not using it and using the external power adapter instead. I have not used my Y-splitter to date--should return or resell it. WD also makes an external power adapter for its drives--I have one for its backup drive. The Apricorn external power adapter is $10, cheaper than this. Idea is this may be more flexible.

Not sure I understand the question? I have these two and they are working very well as USP drives ( 250 gig ).

Getting set up is remarkably easy! I used 4x WD RED HD's (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008JJLW4M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc;=1) and added a 2GB stick of RAM (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0051MU7JG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc;=1), all of which works very well so far for my needs. (upgraded from a 2-drive QNAP)There are a few cloud services that the unit can be set up to use. See http://www.qnap.com/en/?lang=en&sn;=1844 for more details. As noted above, I repurposed my old NAS as the backup target, so I don't personally use the cloud-based backup options. Getting set up is remarkably easy!

Has been working fine currently with 4 x WD Red 3 TB NAS Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, SATA, RAID, ESXI 5. The spec should be on HP support site http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/psi/home/?cc=us〈=en&sp4ts.oi;d=5379860&ac.admitted;=1397833615906.876444892.492883150

I have HP Procurve switches and they work (HP 1800 series, an 8 port and 24 port) both work fine. I'm not sure what models Synology state as working. I would assume that the vast majority of switches supporting Link Aggregation would work these days, however, I've only had direct experience with the HP 1800's, which work very well.(Corrected Switch Model series)

These are the latest version that WD makes :) I would suggest that you call Western Digital's support line... They are both very helpful and completely knowledgeable about their products...

I am just about 100% certain that you cannot plug this directly into a computer. It's not a mass storage device like any kind of external hard drive. If the three different workstations talk to each other on the network, might as well have them talk to the Synology NAS (Network Attached Storage) using the network.

Depends more on the brand. I have a 3 TB Western digital my book essential. It seems to support it as it recognizes it over the network. Currently streaming via DLNA is problematic though but that is more of an issue with the firmware than the hard drive. I believe if you google the netgear webpage there is a listing of supported drives.

I have a newer Airport Extreme Time Capsule and it works fine with that too. I am networking the WD Book through my Time Capsule so I can share the drive via WiFi for backing up my and my wife's iMacs using Time Machine. It works great. Took me a couple of minutes to find and go through the mounting procedure but after that it is working just as it should. Here's a link to the instructions on Apple's site: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204664

I purchased the 2-drive version, but if the same thing applies to this as other 4-drive NAS's, you'll want to install them at least in pairs (if doing RAID 0 or 1). If you're going to want RAID 5 (and if the 4-drive unit supports it, which I assume it does), you'll want to install all 4 for best results. Edit: The 4-drive NAS's I've used only allow for 2 arrays, so don't plan on having 4 separate single-drive arrays.

My understanding is that it works well with one port multiplier. Suggest you ask SYBA support to clarify this for you. Go to SYBA's website, locate the product page for SD-PEX40054 card. Scroll down and there should be a button or link labeled "Ask a question". Click on that button and ask if the card supports two port multipliers and what are the steps to enable that. In the past i have asked SYBA a couple of questions using this method and they responded within a day (or two days on a weekend) with specific helpful information. One final thought here: are you using Windows native/generic drivers for the card? If so, try updating the drivers in Device Manager with SYBA's drivers. Maybe that will offer better performance?

I would recommend using one on Thecus's compatibility list: http://www.thecus.com/download/compatibility/hdd/N4520SERIES_N2800_N4800_N4800Eco_N5550_N4510U_N7510_HDD_SSD_list.pdf Also consider that Enterprise rated drives will last longer and potentially perform a bit faster, but might not be worth the price bump for just backups.

I don't think so but I have never worked with NAS. I use 2 ea 4TB external hard drives. It has two USB 2.0 ports for inputs. The DOS is rather old style and clunky. I can't see anything in the menu for anything but playing files from a HD. I would buy a better device than this one if I need to replace it.
