I’ve set up my 920+ as follows:
3 no. 4T disks in SHR (vol 1) for important data + 1 no. single disk (vol 2) for downloaded movies.
My logic is that I’m not too bother about losing the downloaded movies in the event this single harddisk fails. I will not need to restore the movie files in vol 2...
Hi,
After ditching the WD Red 3TB disks due to 3 out 4 died, I decided to install new drives with clean install on my DS916+.
I bought 2 new Samsung 860 QVO 2TB and put them in SHR+BTRFS in slot 1 and slot 3. SMART attributes showed for both 0 Bytes written when bought.
During the 4 months...
Hi team,

Hi,

I have 4 4 TB hard disks and until now they they are configured as RAID 10. I am wondering how people cycle/expand disk? Say if I want to upgrade to 8 TB HD over the time? How do you know the order to change them?

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...
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...
