raid

Looking to redo my backup NAS as I'm running out of capacity. I have 10TB and 6TB disks which I was going to join in a simple JBOD. Using the Synology RAID Calculator I noticed that in a RAID0 configuration, Capacity = 10TB + 6TB = 16TB I always understood that RAID0 mixed disks yielded ...

Since one of NAS hard disk defected, I removed the hard disk in DSM and can't read the file again. How can i read and backup my data to my PC? I used VMware and installed Ubuntus already but still can't work, does anyone can provide tutorial how to solve my problem? Many thanks,

Hi Orbit What do you mean that 'RAID is not a backup'? You are going to confuse him by saying that. Please explain what you mean by that to him. You are assuming he has your frame of reference.

Hi there... I am excitedly preparing for my new toy to arrive and want to be able to get it up and running ASAP after it arrives. I have watched some setup vids and there's a choice to make between 2 disc safety options on SHR (Quick set up) and Raid 6. I will have 5x 8TB, with 2 disc safety =...

One of my concern was about - What would happen when my RAID contains BTRFS will degrade? Analyze I found in official BTRFS Wiki these recommendations: RAID1 volumes - if they become degraded may only be mounted read-write once with the options -o degraded,rw. Notes: This does not happen...

We have a home media server with about 30TB of video - currently on a RAID 6 array (6x16TB). We run daily versioned HyperBackups via 10GbE, alternating between two other servers that are also RAID 6 arrays (8x 10TB). All drives are Seagate Exos. Additions and changes, day-to-day, are easily...

Hey All, I've got a question regarding expanding a RAID 6 Synology NAS. If I've got a 16 Bay NAS unit with 12 drives setup in RAID 6, can more drives of the same size be added to the same pool/volume at a later date? I understand this is a feature of SHR but with different drive sizes but am...

I’ve an old Ds211j...I must have had it at least 10 years although wasn’t used for a lot of those...with two 1Tb HDD RAID setup. How do I go about replacing the drives? I can find a decent tutorial anywhere... Will take the opportunity to get more storage at the same time. I use it mostly to...

There is still open question from my side: Is SHR better than RAID an when? To be sure I will use SHR1 for specific type of SHR (mentioned in Synology web as SHR), otherwise SHR is general term. Also valid for RAID. 1. SHR1 vs RAID1 - two identical disk - single disk redundancy for both of...

Good morning. I currently own a DS218 with 2 disks installed ( 2 & 6TB ) in basic mode. I want to change the 2TB one for a new 6TB and also go for a RAID1 configuration afterwards.... FYI, in the disk I want to replace, in addition to docs/pics... I have also some synology packages. What...

I ordered the last 2 WD red discs (finally) for my DS418play to fill up my NAS. So, I just add them one-by-one and that's it? What about RAID? It's ok to leave SHR? Thank you for your help.

I’m looking to pickup a RS1619xs+ for my business. I recently purchased a DS718+ for a client of mine, where I’m using SHR1 for raid. I like the SHR raid type because you can later add bigger drives and then expand the volume. With the xs models SHR is not available due to the fact this is...
