Can anyone recommend a good 0.5m cat5 cable for the synology. Drive is right next to superhub so want a short good quality cable

I thought it comes with a Ethernet cable? Would it really make that much difference?

Yeah comes with 2m worth, just want to tidy it up a bit wihtout having a bunch of cable hanging nearby as it is sat right next to the superhub. Or is that a bit ocd?

Quick question. I have setup 4 shared folders on the nas (music/video etc). Is there a way I can set the nas to mirror those folders against the ones on my pc?

I'm just looking at data replicator and am using it to sync my documents. Is there a way to sync the four folders to the four seperate destinations on the nas? Should I run data replicator 4 times?

MirrorFolder will do this

Is there a way to sync the four folders to the four seperate destinations on the nas? Should I run data replicator 4 times?

Yes there is... "MirrorFolder" from Techsoft.

Use MirrorFolder in its RAID1 mirroring mode which will allow you to real-time synchronise selected files and folders from your workstation to your NAS.

I use it in exactly this manner for several of my clients...

Cheers,
Rat. ^^>//o
