Hi, I'm moving from an old HP N36L running FreeNAS to a nice shiny new Synology DS920+ mainly to run my PLEX server I'm not totally green, but I'll be looking for some guidance from time to time especially when it comes to the best way to move all of my files on the old server over to the new...

Hi, I just joined - I've got three Synology NAS devices at home, a DS918+ and DS920+ both with 4x18TB SHR2 and a DS414j that has 4x4TB and really isn't being used any more, All running DSM 7.1. As a day job I'm a Senior Staff Software Engineer at Google. I've been building and running Linux...

Hi all, Replacing my DS712+ with a DS920+ and hopefully using the existing drives (vol 1 is 8TB and vol 2 is 6TB).... Few novice questions I'm sure, but just want to get some ideas of the dead ends I may be going into... Looking at the Synology docs, I'm concerned if I go this route, I'm...

I just bought a brand new DS920+ which I like alot. Anyway, my better judgement is telling me to get a dedicated UPS to protect the device. The NAS is connected to an Ethernet switch, which is connected to a Nest Wifi Router, which is connected directly to a Version FiOS ONT. I'm assuming that...

Hello all, this is my first post and I am in some serious need of help. I have a DS920+ for personal use. I am the only user who has access to the device. I was attempting to login earlier and confused the password I use. The device locked me out by IP address. I have the settings very strict...

Wanted to say "Hi." I've had my new system for a few weeks now and still have a lot to learn. My primary use is centralized data storage for our 2 Kodi systems, for which it's performing quite well. The 920 has 4 8TB WD drives and I re-used 5 of the 6 4TB WD drives that were originally...

I added Crucial CT16G4SFD266 into ds920+ and it cannot boot up, just blinking blue light. Can anyone give me some advice or solution?

I want to have 2 drives in a mirrored configuration and one drive as just a plain drive. The plain drive will just host a bunch of pictures, that are already backed up to blu-ray. After a lot of reading on the net, I know it can be done with TrueNAS but I am not sure how this would be done...

I know this is pretty basic stuff, but I've not done it before and don't want to mess it up! Setup: DS920+ with 4 x 4TB in SHR. I have bought 2 x 16TB to increase the volume size (whilst maintaining data). I have seen some conflicting advice, one says to use the "replace" functionality in...

I am new to the NAS world and do not yet have a grasp of best practices for storage, backup, and sync. I would appreciate your advice. Please forgive the lengthy post. I don't know enough so to make it short. GOALS: Safety of my data, and access to it from any device. BACKGROUND: 1. I use...

I run Storj and it makes my drives crazy loud, 4x16TB Exos 16. Would 2 Samsung 870 evo plus 1TB ease my ears?

Hi, fairly new to the world of Synology NAS. I am about to take delivery of a DS920+ with 4 times 4TB. My question is about the storage pools/storage volumes. I would like to pair the hard drives as follow: one pair for business and one pair for personal stuff (for each pair there is the main...

While reaching behind my DS920+ and DX517 I bumped the DX517 power cord and the unit shut off. I could not connect to the NAS because all 9 drives are one volume. Received "catastrophic error" message in Assistant. Start/Stop button on DS920+ would not shut off device so I unplugged it. Then...

Hi all, I recently upgraded to a new DS920+ device and so my old and now redundant DS216J is no longer needed and I'm looking to sell it on eBay. My question regards device security as I stupidly moved my drives across to the new device in haste without doing a factory reset on the old device...

Hello! I've been benefitting from this forum a lot recently, so I decided to join. I have loads of questions about my DS920+, particularly around external access to my 79,000 photos.

Hello, everyone! My NAS is already installed. Finally he arrived. The question remains how to move content from the old nas4free to the new DS920+? How do I connect them so that the transfer takes place directly between them? What settings should I make on DS920? I have to move around 12 TB...

Hello everyone! My name is Frizera. After many years of faithful service, I decided to retire mine Nas4free 4x3TB home use server, which I assembled myself and put in a box Cooler Master with 2 fans. It is too weak anymore and I was never able to use remote connectivity with my files saved on...

Wanting to know the best way to swap drives from my old DS214+ to a new DS920+, I read somewhere that as long as they are both running DSM 7, it is simply a case of removing drives and placing them into the DS920+ in same order, correct? any help would be super useful.

Hi folks! I already have a WD M.2 cache and it's all doing it's thing just fine as a read-only cache. However, I repurchased the same device (to ensure 100% compatibility) and fitted it just today. It's been a long time since I purchased & installed the original M.2 though and my memory is a...
