Hi everyone,
Some of you may remember my introduction a while ago.
At the time, I mentioned that although I’ve always wanted to own a Synology NAS, I don’t actually have one yet. My current setup is still a Netgear RAX120 paired with an 8 TB external hard drive, and that’s where I keep most of...
Hello
I’m an independent developer.
Even though I don’t own a Synology NAS, I’ve always wanted one.
For now, I use a Netgear RAX120 with an 8 TB external hard drive as my storage solution. It holds all of my precious files and memories.
So I just brought up my first NAS device replacing an old Windows Server used mostly as a file server that had died. The DS225+ was easy to assemble and configure on my home network. I don't understand what the big deal is about the Synology approved devices, I installed two 8TB Seagate...

Hi,
My DS1821+ cannot boot properly after Volume1 filled up completely.
This was probably due to me running a defrag in the DSM 6 GUI, which maybe made metadata/files duplicate or otherwise fill up the disk.
I aborted the defrag, and DSM was running fine, even after a reboot, but it reported...

Most of my setup is around NAS, containers, and a few private services, so I’m here to learn how...
