replace

Hi all, I’m considering moving from an older Dahua-style analog NVR with 1080p cameras to a Synology Surveillance Station setup, likely a DVA1622 with around 6 or 7 wired PoE IP cameras running 24/7. I’m mainly looking for real-world owner feedback before investing in the unit, cameras, PoE...

So my DS918+ started reporting a hard drive problem: "The system detected an abnormal power failure that occurred on Drive 3 in Volume 1." Over the course of the day, it threw this error more and more frequently. Eventually the system partition degraded, and finally crashed. I replaced the...

I replaced the fans in my DS923+ awhile back, the best thing I've ever done I think, all the noise is gone. Next project, my DS224+ has started making annoying noises aswell and I thought about replacing that fan. However I haven't found good any guides for that one, anyone knows better?

Hi Team Need some suggestions on how to proceed. I have a Synology DS212J with 2x 4TB disks. Has been running as SMB access to backup, file sharing and all our photos. The NAS goes to 99% cpu when used, but it has been ok. We needed better access to the pictures and installed the Photo...

my DS1512, with "DSM 6.2.4-25556 Update 7", SHR, 5 2TB drives: has a log message that Drive 4 has 2 bad sectors. the SMART test (quick) returns normal & healthy. it does show "bad sector count = 2". under storage pool all 5 drives are listed as healthy too. currently running extended SMART...

I have a DS918+ fully populated, with an older 8TB IronWolf Pro formatted as basic btrfs in slot 1. The drive has about 40k hours on it and while I don't need the space on that drive, it's probably time to replace it. Slot 1 is where my apps, Docker containers and a few other things reside that...

I currently have a UC3400 used for a VMWare iSCSI datastore. I now want to also create a SMB share. Since the UC3400 can't do this, I am thinking about getting a unit to replace this one to allow the share. What unit would be good for this? I do have another project I can use the UC3400 for. I...

So I have a 4 bay 918+ and I've had for years but didn't feel the need to use it till my dropbox is now at max capacity. Well my WD Red 4T drives from 2018 are slowly going bad. My first bay now is critical level and these are the dum-dum things I did and need advice please. Thank you in...

I am new to Synology products and have just set up my new DS923+(2 bays used). I now wish to add an UPS to protect from power failures. - I've ordered a APS BX750MI. When it arrives, I will want to test it to check that the DS shuts down nicely - the whole point of the UPS. However I don't want...

I have a DS918+ with a couple of drives that are nearing full. I'd like to replace the full 16TB drives with new 20TB drives. Each full drive is its own SHR1 volume. (This was done years ago with the though that I might expand to a redundant SHR array, but have no need for that now). I thought...
