Hi Forum, Apologies if this has been covered before and my searching abilities suck. I have a single Disk containing "Volume 2" as a destination for Shared Folder SnapShot Replication from (RAIDed) "Volume 1" with a bunch of history on it which I now want to migrate to a new and larger...

Hi There! My DS2413+ has bit the dust. I had it sitting on a rack shelf in my rack and have decided that I'd rather install a Rackmount Unit as opposed to a Disk Station on a shelf to save a bunch of space in my Rack. Right now the DS2413+ takes up like 7 or 8 "U" Spaces. I thought I was...

Is there a "best practice" regarding rotating external USB disk when backing up there ? I'd like to manually rotate disks if possible without needing to get into the UI - is it possible / feasible ?

I recently bought a new 4TB disk to replace a failing one in my NAS. Until I did this I had not realised that Synology had a compatibility list. My previous drive (and the one good one remaining) was a Wd Red Plus WD40EFRX. Even on the WD site only a 1TB version of this is available, the 4TB...

My good old DS214 was killed by lightning a few days ago. The powersurge travelled trough the ethernetcable, and killed most other wired equipment. The DS214 powers on, but the network interface is fried. Time to buy a new, similar model. So my question is: If I use the same disks from the 214...

A fine fix I've gotten myself into. I believe I have messed up the OS partition with excess files. I cannot login via DSM or SSH. Any way out apart from Reset Mode 2?

New 1621+ coming in a couple days and I’m trying to figure out which HDD’s to use and which RAID configuration. It’s replacing an old DS412+ with 4x4TB HGST 7200RPM drives. I was initially planning for 8TB drives but the the cost of anything above 6TB has skyrocketed in the last couple weeks...

Hello, I need some help. I bought my first NAS and decided to buy the DS1821+. I bought two hard disks from Seagate. One seems to be defect, I just hear some noise which does not sound very good and the other one can't be formatted. The model of the hard disks is ST12000VNZ008. When I try to...

Hello. My DS218j just hardware failed (all green case and power brick LEDs flash with the drives out). It's a little over three years old. Since I have no way to pull the data off of the disks, I thought that purchasing a DS220j and using the 218j's drives as is in the 220j would be a quick and...
