I am brand new to the world of NAS. I just bought and installed a 220j with two 6TB Seagate Iron Wolf 5700 rpm drives. My primary purpose was to replace an Apple Airport Time Capsule for backup of a household of MACOS and IOS devices although I realize that a NAS has a lot more potential than...

I set up my nas yesterday, it seemed to be ok but then bad stuff started happening. not sure if it's faulty or what but I'm having some problems. I wanted to use it as a home seedbox mostly. 1. most annoying problem, there is a knocking sound every 3-5 seconds even when HDD is doing nothing at...

Hi from NZ. I’ve previously had a RT1900ac (now a bunch of Ubiquiti gear) and have just bought my first NAS, a DS920+. Loving it very much. Currently just running a Plex server and learning how to use Docker - so far a Pi-hole and Homebridge. Glad to discover this forum! cheers, Joseph

Question: got the new alert that the admin account is unsafe, okay no worries, created a new admin account and then disabled the old admin account. Easy! but then when logging in to the new admin account, cloud sync (to Backblaze B2) the app said that since the old admin account was disabled it...

Hi all, I’m moving from 214Play running DSM7 to a new NAS, planning to use the same disks. Data is non critical, so I now, I’ve been a bad guy messing with betas. :cool: I have a couple of doubts though. - Can I just move the disks from that DSM7 into new fresh DSM 6.x? (I think the answer is...

I followed Rusty's (Synoman's?) excellent tutorial on setting up OpenVPN on several laptops in the household. While I haven't tested them outside the network, everything appears to work. One question that I have is how to update OpenVPN client, since that doesn't seem to appear in settings...

Hello all. Basic user here but finding myself in New York as a Englishman (song there somewhere) I am wondering if there are many Brits on the forum? Probably going to have questions on managing stuff from abroad, VPNs and alike.

Hello, I am Paul and use Synology DS units at work and home. I just replaced a DS1815+ (RIP) with a DS1821+. Lucky to have not lost any data during the transition. I shuffle data between two locations to reduce potential data loss. Paul

So my older backup NAS, a DS412+ that I repurposed as a backup NAS after upgrading to a newer DS1015+, was starting to run a bit short on space. The existing drives were two HGST 4GB HDDs (HDN724040ALE640), one Toshiba N300 4TB drive (HDWQ140) and a remaining Seagate 3TB drive (ST3000VN000) that...
