ds918+

Hello everyone! I recently bought a used Synology 918+ online. It came without a power brick, no memory, and—worst of all—no guarantee that it even worked. At first glance, it looked brand new: clean fans, no scratches, no visible damage. So, I took the risk and ordered a 4GB Synology memory...

Hey, Im looking for advice on migrating from raid1 to SHR. I currently have 2x14tb in my ds918+ running as raid 1. Im wanting to add a further 2x20tb but in an SHR setup. What is the best method to migrate over to this. Heres what im thinking. Create a new pool as SHR, add 20tb HDD's, copy all...

I bought two WDS100T3X0C-00SJG0 (Western Digital WD BLACK SN750 NVMe M.2 2280 1TB) and placed them into the NVMe slots and setup write cache in RAID1. I don't know when this started happening, but one day of my two NVMe's went missing after a reboot. I setup read cache on the single drive and...

I have a DS918+ with a couple of drives that are nearing full. I'd like to replace the full 16TB drives with new 20TB drives. Each full drive is its own SHR1 volume. (This was done years ago with the though that I might expand to a redundant SHR array, but have no need for that now). I thought...

I have a DS918+ with 4 IronWolf 12TB drives in it. I bought it quite a while ago and it's no longer in warranty. We were on vacation for two weeks and when I came home I noticed that the NAS is turned off. I should mention that it is connected to an UPS and in previous ocasions, when we had...

Hi, Some days ago, my DS918+ never booted up successfully after a sudden reboot (blue light blinking endlessly and all other lights are off), with and without hard disks. When I connect the power, the NAS starts blinking without pressing the power button and the fans are spinning (after a...

I have a DS918+ and a DX517. I have one SHR volume on 4 x 8tb in the DS918+ and 3 x 8tb in the DX517 (so 2 slots left empty in the DX517). I want to put 16tb in the DS918+ and was wondering what is the best way to do it since I have 2 slots left in the DX517. Should I create a hot spare by...

My DS918+ hasn't had an update for 10 months, it's still on DSM7.2-64551. Is there likely to be another update?

Hello everyone :) I bought a 16Gb (2x8) Crucial ram to upgrade my DS918+, but unfortunately the NAS didn't boot. The RAM model is CT102464BF186D.M16FP, specs are : 2 x 8GB DDR3L-1866 SODIMM 1.35V CL13, exactly the same as the original 4GB Synology. I let the "memory verification" run for many...

Hello, thanks for all who have contributed to this forum, have learnt a lot over the last fortnight while reading here. Unfortunately while reading here I realised I didn't make the best choice of file system originally. I chose ext4 because it matched the DS410J I have and because I saw merit...

My DS923+ will arrive shortly. Can I do a simple HDD migration from my current DS918+? I recall upgrades in the past I simply inserted the old drives (same order) in NAS and run the "Synology Assistant" tool on my PC and things kept on working.. However, the DS923+ has an AMD CPU, will this...

I've tried installing the linuxserver/firefox docker app on my NAS and it works, well, pretty good, sort of. :) It's cool being able to run a browser within a browser. Anyway. How do you secure it? The docker page at linuxserver/firefox - LinuxServer.io says the default login/psw is abc/abc but...

Thanks in advance. I have a DS918+ with two 6TB drives in Raid1 configuration. I want to add two drives in the unused bays. Can I just add another pool and configure them as Raid1 also. I am thinking like they will be two completely different systems and thus be mapped as two different drive...

As the subject line suggests, I want to migrate a lot of data from the DS918+ to the DS1621xs+. On the surface this seems like a simple, albeit, time consuming task.... but I'm loosing data. The file structure of the DS918+ was not optimal, When the DS1621xs+ was put in service, we attempted...
