Before creating a NAS volume for your Synology DiskStation NAS, you must install the
NAS.
Before you begin
Designate a dedicated NAS for Stratocast™—one that is used solely to store your video
recordings. Having a dedicated NAS ensures that you get accurate storage
estimates of the hard disk on your NAS, and that you do not risk deleting
other personal files that are not related to Stratocast™.What you should know

NAS volume for whichever Synology
