yeah I know, I'm sorry I was trying to let a corny joke off
I have a QNAP and have used Synology software on a virtual machine.
I like it quite a bit. They both have a lot of value-added features besides simple storage.
They also have companion applications. If trying to choose between the two, check out the companion apps and see which has a better rating

What are you trying to do? I bought a 16tb western digital my book Duo a few years back. I run it in raid-0. Not nas but since I keep my desktop on all the time, it's accessible anywhere.

So I had a Seagate central, wasn't exactly the best purchase but it's holding up for more than a decade so I can't complain. I use it for music storage, I want to transfer the data off that to my Synology I just bought (ds218+)
I use a Mac and I connected to both servers through finder, I was copying over the data last night through finder and it stopped with 1/4 of the data move over
How can I do this with a secure connection and it copying over all the data at once without it losing connection. Use synology's apps to attempt to transfer this data?

Hmm maybe that's why it stopped it was over wired at first
Use a wired computer to transfer it, or use the command line on the Synology and pull the data
If you go the latter route, you’ll need to research the commands to mount the remote (seagate) drive to an internal directory (on the Synology)
Then issue the “cp -R /path/to/directory” to copy the folder and subfolders
I have a Synology. It's the shyt.
is simply copying the data over after connecting to both servers on finder viable or should I use the synology apps or command line? Also why is it when I restart my synology server I can't connect to it via finder unless I restart my PC?
Its viable IF you are connected via ethernet and make sure that the laptop doesnt go to sleep.
The second question sounds like a bug, but you shouldnt need to rely on the finder since synology has a webUI anyway
