So I just wrapped a two week shoot in three different cities, laptop balanced on my knees more nights than I'd like to admit, and my aging portable drive finally gave up mid transfer. Lost twenty minutes of footage before I caught it. Never again. Now I'm hunting for something that can handle...

The Synology FS200T is an ultra-compact, all-flash NAS aimed at enthusiasts and home or small office users who want fast, quiet storage in a minimal footprint. It fits six 2.5" SATA SSDs into a chassis roughly the same size as a 2-bay DS725+. Hardware at a Glance Drive bays: 6 x 2.5" SATA SSD...

DSfuchs submitted a new resource: Prepared for HDD/SSD issues. - Critical drive-related issues inevitably arise, including those "hallucinated" by Synology itself. Read more about this resource...

Sooner or later, sometimes even sooner than that, problems involving HDDs or SSDs are bound to arise within the Synology Storage Manager. However, critical errors are not always attributable to a hardware-related cause. To help you narrow down the possibilities and ensure that you are prepared...

Hi all, Is it possible to have an nvme pool and an nvme read cache at the same time? I have one single nvme pool already and one nvme chip over for no use. I don’t expect any major speed increase but just have some use of the second chip. I have an ds423+. Regards Roger

Hi everyone, My Synology DS425+ NAS will arrive next week, but I haven’t purchased the drives for it yet, so I’d like to ask for your advice. I’ll need roughly 8 TB of storage. I’m currently considering two options: a single 8 TB HDD, or a 1–2 TB 2.5" SSD for the system and applications + a 6...

A while ago I discovered PhotoPrism and started with it on an older Synology DS916+. While it worked, the performance wasn’t quite what I hoped for, especially with AI and larger libraries. After some searching on the local second-hand market (Willhaben), I found a great deal on a DS1621+ with...

If a 2.5" HDD power off is placed 2cm away from a large 29" CRT TV and then turned on for several hours, will the TV's coils and magnets slowly demagnetize the HDD, corrupting the data?

1) SSDs and flash memory need to be refreshed (rewriting all the same files) at intervals of 1 year or more to keep the data intact and free from corruption and bitrot. Do 2.5" and 3.5" HDDs also have this problem? Even if the drive is in good health, if the data was written many years ago, are...

Unlike Seagate's warranty, which is based on serial number, it appears that Synology's HDD, SSD and NVMe warranty applies only to the original buyer. Am I reading this correctly? Has anyone here encountered this issue when buying or selling 'used' Synology storage media?

If a 2.5" HDD is placed very close (2 cm or 3 cm) to a large, power-off big 29" CRT TV, could this TV, due to its large and powerful magnets and coils, cause some degradation in the HDD's magnetism, leading to data loss or corruption and magnetic degradation? my hdds 2.5" models...

Based on something Avid brought out 25 years ago for video editing, using ESata buss of 3x “+” systems, and SSD’s… Nearly 3 years ago: Created my own archive system for data similar to 7.3’s Tier creation. Not automated, but in my case doesn’t need to be. On each of 3x NAS’s created a single...

In a 24/7 NAS environment, caching SSDs face relentless random I/O workloads that consumer-grade benchmarks fail to represent. Unlike desktops or client systems, NAS caching involves continuous small-block read/write activity under concurrent access, placing heavy demands on both sustained...

Hello, I have a DS218+, and I've noticed that the hard drives are always running, even if only for a few seconds at a time. After using the iotop tool for just two minutes, I discovered the following: I only have two bays, and I have an SSD connected via USB. Would moving Container Manager...

Hi, Setting aside the DS415+’s bandwidth limitations and the absence of native NVMe slots: If I purchase four dual-NVMe-to-SATA adapters (each accommodating two NVMe SSDs) and populate them with a total of eight 4 TB NVMe SSDs (32 TB total capacity), then connect each adapter to one of the...

I''ve got two SSD's in my DS224+, I'd like to remove that volume/drives and inserting a standard 3.5" drive instead. Is that possible without loosing stuff as login credentials etc? I don't care about the data on the drives, just the settings etc.. Last time I tried something similar I had to...

Need to recover an existing pool from the same NAS after temporary removal. I removed two hard disks with RAID1 from my synology device. Then I inserted two new SSD disks and rebooted the system. It prompted to install DSM. I installed DSM and initialized two new SSD disks with RAID 1 and...
