rack2-filer? Is it worth it or can just the base Scan Snap suffice?

It depends on your needs. I hadn't had the chance to fully utilize the filer software, but it appears to create a filing system within its software instead of with your own folder/filing system that you may already have created for yourself on your computer. However, through the default scanning method of the Scanner, it will give you destination options where u can manually send each scanned item.In short, if you don't already have a customized filing order/system in place on your computer, it may be worth the investment. Otherwise, the base model is just as good and it is user friendly. It depends on your needs.

I use windows 7 and find that just using folders is sufficient for my needs. If you prefer extra organizational tools, rack2-filer may be useful. It basically allows you to set up a filing system using filing cabinets and binders. I do like the feature that allows you to flip through your documents page by page and the search feature. It does have a space limit so review the size limitations and compare to your application.

Never used it so I can't answer. I know it's a $150-$170 software if you buy it individually. See if you can download the trial and give it a try.

It's really subjective as to whether or not the Rack-2-Filer is worth the extra money. You can certainly do everything you need to do without it, but it adds a nice visual element to your scanned files by creating a virtual bookshelf on which you can create 'binders' for various subjects (financial, home inventory, banking, bills, etc.). Without it, you still have the Scansnap folder in your Windows Explorer, and can sort your scans into any sub-folders you've created, or into your existing folders if you prefer. The only advantage of the Rack-2-Filer is that you can easily read your various scans as if they were pages in a book, turning the pages via mouse click or the central mouse wheel. As a teacher I find this especially useful for course materials, but it's also good for sequential files, like a year's worth of phone bills, for instance. Bottom line: the Rack-2-Filer software gives you a set of 'books' made from your scans, which is great for those who are more image- than text-oriented, but the simple Scansnap software is more than adequate for filing your scans the way you would any other file or scan in the Explorer environment. Hope this helps.

I would have to say yes. I set this up for a person to scan to a mapped drive.

Yes. I did exactly that when I purchased my Synology NAS. The BlackArmor NAS was a piece of crap, but the drives are fine and the Syno. NAS will play well with them.

You might consider the HP MediaVault instead; which lets you set up and manage a Raid mirrored drive set easily via your PC interface and break the raid to put the copy into an Safety Deposit box. It uses inexpensive 500gb drives. I have two of them and they work great, super easy to manage compared to most NAS I have used.

It reads everything an internal floppy would read. File compatibility will be up to whatever you have in your collection of software.

Adam, I could not get the ftp working so I can't answer your question. Perhaps e-mailing them might be helpful. Their technical support is very meager at best, but if you are well versed in networking it may help. The software is so basic and meager that It doesn't seem to make a difference whether you have at 1 frame or 10. I do get the e-mails on snaps, although 90% are empty. I spent hours a day over 2-3 weeks just to get it to do the basic things. I gave up on the ftp and remote viewing.

I use the Android app P2PIPC that is recommended and it works okay. It's not the most polished App but it does get the job done, Left and Right work just fine, but Up and Down are reversed. As mentioned before Synology doesn't support it natively but I was able to manually program mine using MPEG as the video and had to manually enter the path /http://192.168.1.6:554/videostream.cgi. But it works just fine.

Hello, you can use the Scan Disk, this is what I purchased and it works beautifully! http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=scan+disk

You can rSync to do it. Or have QNAP's RTRR keep pulling data from synology over FTP that should work too.

What did you end up getting? You sound like you might be a novice like myself. I am simply looking to scan in/preserve family photos. I want the best results but not too complicated for the non-pro to use. I also have a macbook pro.

Hi Kathryn (same spelling as my daughter). I previously tried to use a film scanner that I never got going - software clash or faulty - I don't know. What I liked about the SVP was that it is stand alone, scans to an SD card, jpg files. That way as long as your computer can read a sdcard (via a sdcard reader slot or a USB sdcard memory reader - about $10NZ) you can get your pictures. The other beauty is that last weekend I was asked to mind the gallery for a couple of hours so I took the SVP scanner, some negs (the SD card 32Gig) had lunch and and scanned 7 rolls of films. So YES it should be okay for a mac. Enjoy, regards Murray Hi Kathryn (same spelling as my daughter).

I haven't had any problems in that area. The disc that was sent with the machine didnt work on install so i had to contact scan snap and get them to send me online download instructions. Maybe where you need to go for problems.

It did not work good on any photos. I found that the ScanSnap 300 by Fujitsu works excellent on all... plus it is good for documents.

Good answer. I just wanted to mention for others who may read this that most NAS systems (if that's what you use it in) will do their own disk surface checks during the setup or rebuild.

Do you mean a scan disc? I use PNY Premium 8 and 16 GB scan scan discs. I download into my desktop and print from there. I shoot ancient architectural features in old buildings in the UK, some in what I would call poor light. I think it is extremely capable. I use a tripod or not. I'm 100% pleased. Geo

D. Fisher, Thanks very much for your response. I've copied your posting on batch scanning and will follow it. I'm just starting to use the V750 to scan my Hassy negs and your information is of great help. --E. Williams

I'm not sure. We use it as a standalone duplicator. The description says "no computer or software needed" but it also says that it is compatible with anyone involved with disk duplication. Maybe you can find out more information from ProDuplicator - the company who sells this unit. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
