My Synology Drive Server says it has a Port 6690 conflict, and can't run. Synology Drive and Office are not working anymore. Control Panel - Information - Services says only Drive server is using 6690. I have a DS220+ with DS 7.3.2. As far as I know I have'nt messed with the system the last half...

I'm running a DS220+ as a NAS and have only one drive mapped to it. After a few hours attached, I suddenly have multiple drive letter listed for the exact same share. P:HouseData, F:Housedata, G:houseData...... Ive checked and recheck everything I can think of and it reappears every time...

Hi all, hoping someone can advise. I had a DS414 with a mixed size 4 drive volume in SHR(1). Bought a new DS1525+ 5 bay. Moved the 4 drives to the new NAS successfully. Added a new 16TB drive to the 1525. Successfully added to the Storage Pool, Status Healthy, capacity showing as free in...

DSfuchs submitted a new resource: Prepared for HDD/SSD issues. - Critical drive-related issues inevitably arise, including those "hallucinated" by Synology itself. Read more about this resource...

Sorry for this simple and basic question. I have had my Synology running ABB for some time now and my drives are of course now full. I would like to keep the oldest backup of my Windows computers and delete newer ones and clear up some space to start over. I really need to take time to set up a...

I need to replace a USB Local Storage drive which is used for Hyper Backups. Hard drive are like hen's teeth at the moment (not to mention the price) but I can find a 24 TB 'external' desktop drive and a NAS grade internal version at not very much more. Currently I have a NAS grade drive in an...

In 2015 I put together a DS1815+ with 8x4TB WD Red Pro 7200 spinners in RAID 10 in one volume. I have just had my 2nd drive failure, first was years ago. Looking for a straight replacement of the 4TB drive I see is absurd with prices on much larger units of the same mfg at the same price. My...

I recently migrated from a DS920+ to a DS1825+ and realized I do not currently have a true 1:1 backup of my data. Earlier on, I was mistakenly thinking about drive failure mostly in terms of replacing a failed drive, rather than having a separate full backup strategy. After reading more about...

One of my PC's stopped syncing after installing v 4.0.2 client - perhaps because it hadn't been used for several months? I left it to run and whilst it did sync some files, others were missing. Also lots of files with Red Crosses in the working directory. I then found the same red crosses on...

Does anyone have the inside scoop on whether it is safe to buy a DS1825+ and use WD Red plus drives? I checked the compatibility and chatted with support and they just pointed me back to the compatibility list. I know DSM 7.3 removed the drive restrictions. Thanks.

Hi, My Synology NAS is stuck with DSM 7.1, so I won’t ever benefit from improvements of the new Synology Drive 4.x. I started to detach from all Synology DSM/Packages « embedded » features and replaced them with Portainer/Docker equivalents running on a dedicated small server. At this...

I am having an issue whereby I cannot sync the root of my home folder for my user on the NAS to a designated folder on my Ubuntu desktop using the Synology Drive client. It has worked previously, indeed team folders can be synced and are still working. Looking on my android phone on synology...

Hi all. I am considering migrating BACK to a Synology DS420+ from an Asustor. I moved over to Asustor and am just not as OK with it as I thought I would be. I have about 14TB of data that I need to move back to the DS420+ and intend of populating it with 4 WD Red Plus 8TB drives. I Have 2...

Well, it's come to this, I have created an account here because I can't find a solution to what I'm sure is the most basic of NAS functions. I've seemingly run out of space on my NAS and for the life of me, cannot recover any space by removing files. I run my NAS primarily as a media center...

I am currently using a DS212j NAS with WD Red drives. Due to its age, the Plex media server is no longer working correctly. My intent is to upgrade to a 4-Bay Synology NAS and migrate the existing disks, plus add two larger disks to form 2 Volumes. I was interested in the DS425+ but internet...

Hi all Hope This is in the right place New to nas drives iam going to use the drive to stream my music collection and not too sure how to setup the power and hibernation will listen to music every day from around 10am till 6pm so is it better to have the nas shut down each day or let it...

I want a complete backup and have already pasted Media files (Emby) onto 2nd drive in original Nas . I thought I could start the new nas up (empty) and use migration assist or config bkup to copy the set up over to the new box. Then move one of the drives over to the new box. Now I see comments...

I've done some research, and think I know the answer to this, but wanted to check.... Currently I have a DS923+, with 4x16TB (SHR, 1 redundant). I backup to two USB externals - 8TB and 16TB. I've just picked up a UPS, and now want to clean everything up, putting the backup drives into a NAS box...

I have a 918+ NAS with an 8TB and 10TB WD Red, plus 2x20TB Toshiba drives. I'm considering making it a backup unit due to its age and setting up a newer NAS as a primary unit, moving the drives over if possible. Are there drive compatibility issues I should be aware of? What strategies are...

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/
