I'd go with 8*16TB (6+2 in SHR-2) for Volume...
Hi,
I am trying to backup to a Remote Synology NAS (a DiskStation DS1821+ 8-Bay I believe) from a Mac. I am sure I have done the same thing from a PC many years ago but cant remember how to do it now.

Which Synology NAS Drives will we see in 2022?
“When is the DS922+ NAS Coming?”. We are barely scratching the surface of 2022 and anyone that knows how the Synology naming convention works is keen to when the DSx22+ (or even DSx23+) series is going to drop! Whether you are an existing Synology...

I have an OPNsense instance as my network router/firewall. For more security, on top of this, I have installed the HAProxy plugin to abstract webtraffic for all of my backend web-instances.
One of those backend web-instances is my Synology NAS, serving a couple of webservices reachable from the...
Hello everyone,
I want to connect two locations (different countries) via VoIP (Voice over IP) but I'm not sure if anything exists to do what I want.
The way I see it:
