disk

My setup: NAS 425+ 18TB HD (3 disks), 1TB SSD. The HD are for backup and the SSD has a portion VM for HomeAssistant and another portion for FastShare. My computers linked to NAS: ZBook Fury 17G8 (Win 11 pro), HP Elitebook 8770w (Win 10pro) and Lenovo Thinkpad L520 (win 7 pro). I wanted to...

I'm using a DS718+ and I setup the Time Machine options. I have an Mac Mini w/ Apple M2, an iMac Retina, Late 2015 running Monterey and a VitrualBox VM installed as Mac Mini 2018 running Catalina. On the two real machines Time Machine backs up fine. But on the Catalina VM the backup fails with...

I have a DS720+ with a 4TB and 8TB drive, running SHR. I bought a new 8TB drive (same brand/model as existing 8TB) and would like to upgrade the 4TB drive. I think I need to follow the instructions on Replace a Drive | DSM - Synology Knowledge Center starting at the heading "To replace a drive...

This should be simple.... and it isn't as much of an upgrade as the 220+ will be used for offsite tasks. In theory I should be able to swap drives from 220 > 224, boot and be up and running on the 224... BUT not the case. Swapping drives, unable to access squat through ethernet or network. If I...

Is it safe to rearrange the disks in a DS923+ without any trouble? I've got three disks as a SHR (bays 1-3), and a disk 4 as a single SHR(bay 4) at the moment. I'd like to move the single disk to bay 1 instead and move the others to 2-4).

Currently have a Synology DS220+ w/two 4 gig drives. Considering getting a second Synology to replace the 220+, and use the 220+ as an off-site backup. There are a million blogs, influencers and videos on the topic and more interested in input from the forum, the Synology daily users. First, I...

Hi all, Hope you are having a good day. I started receiving the error in the original screenshot attached. I swapped the disk in slot 5 to slot 4 and got the second screenshot. I then removed the UPS from the picture, reseated the esata cable, cleaned out the unit with a blower, and retested...

With the usual warning that your disks may not follow the massive 350K disk statistics that Backblaze has, and it is just statistics.. Again a good read, welcoming the Toshiba 24TB disks with a good start. https://www.backblaze.com/blog/backblaze-drive-stats-for-q3-2025/

I'm surprised that the starting offset is set to 1024 after the switch to 4Kn. That shouldn't be right. sgdisk -p /dev/sde Disk /dev/sde: 2929721344 sectors, 10.9 TiB Model: HUH721212ALE600 Sector size (logical/physical): 4096/4096 bytes Disk identifier (GUID)...

Hi I have a faulty disk 4 in my DS413. My config consists of 4 WD10EFRX (1TB disks) Since that is an old and outdated hard disk model, which one should I choose? After checking the compatibility list, it seems that Synology doesn't test new disks with older models, such as my DS413. Also...

Hello, sorry to ask for confirmation of the possibility to do the following - before I try. I want to reformat my 4TB disk which is volume1 on my ds218+. There are only a few GB on it, but I want to avoid a long down time and reconfiguration. Also, I have no other DSM7.2 machine around to do a...

Looking for a way to see what file(s) are causing the most disk I/O on my NAS. I have a 1621+ running DSM 7.2.2-72806. I've tried: top nmon iostat htop None of these (afaict) give me any detail on per-process or per-file usage/activity.

With summer in full swing, Synology has, for the moment, completed its X25 NAS rollout. Over the past few months, a total of eight new "plus" models have been refreshed, although few significant upgrades have been made. All models have had their outdated 1GbE LAN interfaces upgraded to 2.5GbE...

I have a ds1522+ with a few docker apps running (gitlab and such) with 3 hdd in a RAID1 setup. That is 2x 16tb seagate exos in use, and 1x 16tb WD Ultrastar DC HC550 as a hot spare. But now that is almost completely full I only have 1.3tb free, so I just bought 2x more seagate exos. I've been...

In the line of "no good deed goes unpunished", I think Seagate inadvertently (?) has done me a disservice. I have a DS218+ formerly populated with 12TB Ironwolf drives. One failed and was replaced by Seagte with a 16TB drive. Nice gesture, right? But it occurs to me now, that with SHR, I am...

Hi, I have a DS1522+ with 5 hard drives with multimedia files, so I don't have it in RAID, but rather independent (BTRFS format). I installed it a month and a half ago and so far I haven't had any problems, but today I went to view one of the files through Plex and saw that it was giving me an...

I had two disks that were marked as crashed. I know that only one of the is actually crashed. The other one worked just fine in another computer using a cradle. Sadly the NAS refuses to re-enable disks that have been marked as crashed. I tried solving that using tips in this thread Reset drive...

I have four 10TB disks in RAID 10 mode and yesterday I initiated a drive check. This has been going on for 24 hours. The disk lights flash off and, when I listen closely, I can hear intermittent clicking noises from the drives, which sound in order to me; but the flashes and clicks are much less...

Today, Synology published an official statement on the matter of disk support in their upcoming 2025 models that are about to hit the market in Q2 of this year. Continue reading...

Hi. I have a problem with my DS410. The status LED is blinking orange and beeping. The LAN status is ok. The disk status is also ok and everything is green. When I want to log in, it says: disk is full I did: reset mode 1, but it doesn't work and doesn't reset either the password or the...
