Hello, I changed my NAS connection a few months ago to take advantage of the DS923+ 10GB ethernet module. I followed a video by Rex on how to plug the ethernet directly from the DS923+ 10GB module to my Mac Studio's 10GB port. My r/w speeds were about 600 GB/s each which seemed about right...

Hello, I'm experiencing an issue where Finder on macOS sometimes crashes when opening image files (PNGs, JPEGs, PDFs, TIFFs) stored on my Synology NAS over SMB. The problem is intermittent but disruptive. This is happening to multiple users across many OSX versions on a variety of machines...

A newbie question, but I appreciate any advice.

Happy Saturday, all. My name is Tony. I'm a 67yo chemist whose brother is an IT guy for a midwestern state, and who finally cajoled me into getting my first NAS: a Synology DS224+ with twin 12TB HDDs run in RAID 1. I'm having a lot of fun learning about it. Thank you all for your generous...

Hi This is probably the dumbest question ever asked on here but for the life of me I cant figure out whats going on I have purchased a second hand ds216J. It has a 2.7TB and a 3.6TB disk configured as JBOD - so a total of 6.3TB I formated the disks and made them into a single volume. Again...

Hi, I will hopefully soon be a Synology NAS user, just speccing out what I want. Looks like I'll go for a DS 923+ with 4 bays. My primary use will be to run some virtual machines at home and maintain a back-up of photos/data etc. Joined up on a recommendation from a friend!! So mainly looking...

Hi, I have read a few posts on this but have not found an answer. What I would like to do is to secure the nas traffic with a vpn. I am using Nordvpn. The challenge is that Nord does not provide port forwarding, which is essential for remote access. I have tried putting the vpn client on the...

I've had the Synology DS 224+ for a couple of weeks now, my first real NAS. I had been using a rarely used iMac with internal and external drives shared on the home network. I only ever used the machine for light photo work and for serving those drives for wireless TimeMachine backups of the...

Just received my first Synology NAS, the DS923+, loaded it up with memory, SSDs and HDDs, and the 10G interface. I even created my own hardware mod before even turning the NAS on for the first time. 😹 Enabled SSH this morning, and loaded a proper trusted SSL certificate. Looking to learn more...

I need to log into the NAS using Cloud Commander, and to edit certain files /DSM/ETC I need to log in as root, no ideas as to the root password. Other admin logon user/password accounts are not accepted. Any ideas?

A simple enough task, but I’m missing something somewhere. I’m new to ipv6, so do please state the obvious, as it may not be obvious to me :-) Setup: Fibre modem -> Eero router -> TP Link AC 1750 router -> Synology DS418 Requirement: FTP access to a share on the NAS from an external device...

Hi. I set up my DS224+ with no problems. Just now moved it to a new location that required plugging in to a different port on the wired router. Now, my computer no longer finds the NAS, nor does Synology Assistant. Probably simple, but I need advice on how to set it up again. tyia

I'm a new home-based NAS user (Synology DS224+). I understand that there are cloud-based backup methods, but I'm wondering if it's possible for me to USB-plug an SSD into the DS224+ and send the backup to that. If 'yes', please direct me to instructions. Thanks.

I currently have a DS1821+ with 2 separate volumes - first volume is 4x20Tb drives, and second volume is 4x14Tb drives. Due to space starting to get low, I have decided to get another DS1821+ and want to move the second volume to the new DS1821+ and then add another 4 disks to both volumes and...

Hello🙂 I'm getting totally confused about making Volumes, do I need to make two volumes or just one large one. It's a 4 bay but I'm only going to be using two hard drives (14TB) to start with using SHR. I'm using the NAS for Plex and Data backup from my computer. If I should be making two...

I've started using NextDNS as a DNS service on all my devices, Apple Mac, iPads, iPhones, browsers etc. The next logical step would be to set the NAS to use it as a DNS service. At the moment obn the NAS I have things set as: Preferred DNS server: xxx.xxx.xx.xxx (my router) Alternative DNS...
