shr

So I have 3 nas units total. 2x DS1621+ and a Terramaster f5-221. The terramaster (5 bay, 5x 4tb) and DS1621+ (6 bay, 6x 4tb) have been in use for about a year. I just got a 3rd nas, a DS1621+ and 4x 4tb drives. Now I would like to use the 3rd nas as a backup for the other 2 units. I realize...

What I have: 3 x 6TB SHR Volume with 12 TB redundant storage (1 disk recently broken) What I want: 2 x 18TB SHR volume with 18 TB redundant storage (I'll expand the volume after the migration) Of course, I want to keep my volume and migrate everything, to avoid any additional work and downtime...

Out with the old: In with the new: Another 4TB WD Blue to add to the volume - I've been very happy with these drives to date. It's only since the trading the RS1221+ fan noise for the Noctua silence do you get to fully appreciate the peace of SSDs. Usually when I open the door to the...

Hi, Question is it possible to combine 1 SSD disk and 2 HDD disk into one SHR storage pool with one volume? At the moment I have 1x 2TB SSD into storage pool 1 (volume 1) And 2x 8TB HDD into storage pool 2 (volume 2) On the SSD I have all the applications / Docker/ MailPlus-server and also the...

I have 4 disks in an SHR 1 array on a system using DSM 7. This is my first NAS so I did not upgrade from an older version of DSM. I started with 2x6TB and 2x16 TB disks The storage pool showed I have 25.5 capacity. I replaced one of the 6TB drives with a 12TB drive and the storage pool still...

I could not resist, 2TB QVO for black friday for just 109€. Decided to just do it and see what happens. Used my second SHR (TLC 2* SSD) disk BTRFS pool/volume to try, and added this 3rd disk without issues. This is not my main SSD pool, it contains slow moving data like music and video as well...

I currently have 4 3TB drives in SHR. If I want to replace them with 4 6TB drives, do I have to add one at a time then rebuild the pool? Thanks

Hi everyone, I just bought my first NAS, a DS220j. I installed 2 HD in it and DSM. Now I want to configure storage using Storage Manager. By default my NSA was configured as SHR. However, since security is not a big thing for me (I want to have as much storage space as possible), I would...

I have an old DS 212 (yes, still kicking!) that has two 2TB drives in one pool using SHR. One of the drives is failing. I'm going to replace both of the current 2TB drives w/new 4TB drives so this unit (which is my backup unit) has the same capacity as my main NAS (DS218+/4TBx2). Just...

Hello all, I currently have a ds418j, with 2x8TB, and 2x3TB drives in two RAID 1 configurations. I've never really worried about other types of RAID or SHR as I tend to upgrade my disks as they fail. My plan is to upgrade to a newer NAS, not decided but let's say it's a 4bay like a ds-920...

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, Synology NVR1218 with WD 4TB Purple 5400 rpm already installed and working fine, but I'm going to add new drive WD Purple 1TB. Thx

A good read… https://daltondur.st/syno_btrfs_1/

Hi team, First post, please advise if I've posted this to the wrong group, messed up any etiquette etc. My DS-1817+ has mixture of drive sizes setup in SHR-1. The largest drive is 4TB, there is only one. The next smaller drives are two 3TB. The rest a mixture of 2 and 1.5TB drives. I...

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 =...

Hi, Following a critical HDD failure at the weekend, I decided that I would setup my DS415Play again with SHR rather than just single storage pools on each of the 4 disks that are installed. When I originally set up the DS415, I was testing various packages such as Plex so didn't pay much...

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? Benoît

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.
