capacity

I have an DS413. Yes, unsupported and kind of old, but it serves well as my homelab NFS server. Currently I use 4 WD Red drives in it, with 3TB disks. I wanted to investigate spare disks, but it is not common to find such small HDDs anymore in mainstream stores. Typically disks are 12, 16, 20TB...

Hello, I have been mostly fortunate with my NAS in that I have not had many problems with it after set up. The downside to this is not much additional experience after the initial setup :oops:. So, I am hoping this kind community can give me some insights on how to best execute on the...

Sorry to ask for advice on a fairly basic question... I have a DS918+ running DSM 7.1.1, which had 2 x 8 TB Seagate Ironwolf Pro and 2 x 10 TB Seagate Ironwolf HDDs in one SHR storage pool (using btrfs) with 2-drive fault tolerance. Both 10TB drives unfortunately failed a short time apart and...

Ok, newbie here with a ridiculous first thread title, I admit ;-) Here's my problem statement: I have been taking (and continue to take) daily videos of my daughters where they talk about their day for anywhere from 2-8 minutes. Let's say their names are Anna and Elsa. I have been uploading...

I have two 3TB HDDs configured with SHR 1-drive fault tolerance. My volume is at 95% of the capacity, and I'd like to change to RAID 0 or SHR-1. Is it possible? DSM only offers me to change to SHR-2, but I need more drives. If I take out one drive, I shouldn't lose any data, isn't it? Can I...

Hello, My RS3621xs+ was on DSM 7.2.2-72806 and now just got DSM 7.2.2-72806 Update 1. The same updates were available for the virtual DSM which runs inside the RS3621xs+. All apps are up to date on the DSM, there is more than 1TB free storage on each of the 4 volumes of the DSM, including on...

Hi This is probably the dumbest question ever asked on here but for the life of me I cant figure out whats going on I have purchased a second hand ds216J. It has a 2.7TB and a 3.6TB disk configured as JBOD - so a total of 6.3TB I formated the disks and made them into a single volume. Again...
