This ensures that the IP address does not change, making it easier to connect remotely.Dynamic DNS: If your internet service provider assigns you a dynamic IP address, consider using Dynamic DNS (DDNS) service. DDNS allows you to assign a domain name to your changing IP address, making it easier to access the NAS remotely.Firewall Configuration: Configure your firewall to allow incoming connections to the forwarded ports. This step is crucial to ensure the remote access requests reach the NAS.Security Considerations: Enable and configure secure protocols like HTTPS and SSL/TLS certificates to encrypt the remote access connection. This helps to protect your data during transmission.User Accounts and Permissions: Set up user accounts and define their access permissions within the Digiever NAS. This ensures that only authorized users can access the NAS remotely.It's important to note that the specific steps to configure these settings may vary depending on your router and NAS firmware version. It's recommended to consult the user manual or contact Digiever support for detailed instructions tailored to your specific setup.

Are there any limitations or restrictions when accessing files on the NAS Digiever MN-1112 Pro+ remotely, such as file size or transfer speeds?

When accessing files on the NAS Digiever MN-1112 Pro+ remotely, there may be some limitations or restrictions depending on various factors. Here are a few potential limitations to consider:Network Speed: The transfer speed of files will depend on the network speed of both the remote location and the NAS device's network connection. If the network speed is slow, it may result in slower file transfer speeds.Internet Bandwidth: The speed of file transfers can also be limited by the internet bandwidth available at both the remote location and the NAS device's location. If the internet connection has limited bandwidth, it may affect the file transfer speeds.File Size: While there may not be any specific limitations on file sizes imposed by the NAS device itself, the file transfer speed can be affected by the size of the files being transferred. Larger files will take longer to transfer compared to smaller files, especially if the network speed or internet bandwidth is limited.Remote Access Protocol: The file transfer speed can also depend on the remote access protocol used to connect to the NAS device. Different protocols like FTP, SFTP, or WebDAV may have varying transfer speeds.Concurrent Users: If there are multiple users accessing the NAS device remotely at the same time, it can impact the file transfer speeds as the device's resources are shared among the users.It is recommended to check the specifications and documentation provided by Digiever for the MN-1112 Pro+ NAS device to get more detailed information on any specific limitations or restrictions related to file access and transfer speeds.

Why can’t ordinary software tools restore files from RAID?

Conventional hard disks keep user’s data by writing it to their surface in a consecutive way, and this is how an entire file is stored on a single hard disk. However, when data is written to a RAID system, a file is divided into several parts. Then these parts are written consecutively to all hard disks within such array. The size of such parts may range from 2 KB to 2 MB, so each file is stored on several hard disks at the same time.

Such approach helps to speed up read and write operations, and it is evident that saving two parts of a file having the size of 1 GB to two hard disks simultaneously is much faster than saving the same 1 GB of data to one hard disk. However, this peculiarity makes file recovery more complicated.

Various RAID levels store information in different ways. Additionally, manufacturers like Digiever also introduce some modifications to this process, and that is why data can be written to hard disk in a wide variety of ways.

Can hardware upgrades or modifications lead to data loss if not properly executed on NAS Digiever MN-1112 Pro+ devices?

Yes, hardware upgrades or modifications can potentially lead to data loss if not properly executed on NAS Digiever MN-1112 Pro+ devices. If the upgrades or modifications are not done correctly, it can result in damage to the hardware components or disruption to the data storage system. This can lead to data corruption or loss if the necessary precautions and procedures are not followed during the upgrade or modification process. It is always recommended to consult the manufacturer's guidelines or seek professional assistance when performing hardware upgrades or modifications to ensure the safety of data.

How to take hard disks out of the NAS and connect them to a PC?

Although NAS MN-1112 Pro+ can be accessed over the network, you still need to take the hard disks out of the storage device and connect them to a Windows computer. Only in this case will the software be able to scan them properly. Here is what you should do:

Turn off the storage and disconnect it from the power supply.

WARNING! Before you start taking hard disks out of your NAS device, read the manual carefully. Incorrect actions may damage your network-attached storage and/or the hard disks within the RAID system.
Take the hard disks out of the NAS one by one, carefully removing them from their slots. Remember that the disks are extremely vulnerable: hitting or dropping them may result in serious physical damage.
Make sure to mark each hard disk in accordance with how they were installed inside the NAS.
