ssd

Just to share some SSD experiences: Next week, my first two SSD (Samsung 850 and a Sandisk Ultra) will pass the 30K hours. They are in a SHR with a later added Samsung 860 that has 8000h on the clock. Life estimation is still 96% at the Samsung 850 and no issues so far. These three are still...

I'm having trouble re-using/formatting what used to be cached SSDs for my 415+ after the 415+ died. I have 2 500gb SSD which were used in a cache rw which i had been using previously with my synology 415+. It's like both ssds died at the same time. I've tried diskpart recover/clear/activate...

The Q1 statistics are in. For the first time, SSD are included, In the first looks, SSD appear to be 10-20 times more reliable than HDD (with a clear note on lifetime of the drives). https://www.backblaze.com/blog/backblaze-hard-drive-stats-q1-2021/ interesting read, but take the usual...

Hi, I’ve got a DS1520+ (5 bay) with 5 x 4TB HDDs, and 2 Samsung 970 Evos as cache. I’ve just attached the DX517 expansion unit and installed 5 x 10TB HDDs in there. Unfortunately I made the mistake of simply expanding my original storage pool and consequently, the new 10TB drives are now only...

Hi All, Anyone used the Sabrent Rocket 1TB for NVME SSD Cache? - Rocket SSD | Sabrent Just reading a review on it and the 1TB has a TBW of 1665.... not sure in my searching i have found a consumer ssd with such a high number (Sabrent Rocket 1 TB M.2 NVMe SSD Review). Cheers

Good Afternoon SynoForum, I arrived at work this morning to a slew of email alerts because of this: It's a new one on me, the second ssd is not accessible here or in the storage manager app, despite saying it is at 100% health. My question is has this happened to anyone here? The repair...

I presumed that this would be an easy forum question: But I guess not! :ROFLMAO: Looking for the current thinking on SSD RAID levels. I've been running 5 SSDs in SHR-1 / BTRFS for quite some time and recently migrated them to a new NAS, giving me more drive bay options to play with...

Just read this: https://www.forbes.com/sites/tomcoughlin/2021/02/07/in-2020-hdd-companies-shipped-over-1zb-of-storage-capacity/?sh=85f07e54894f Toshiba already at 20% market share in HDD. More SSD sold than HDD

Are their any issues running a pure SSD volume and a pure HDD volume on the same NAS, or will the presence of an HDD volume drag the SSD volume down to spinning rust speed? Eg: Storage Pool 1 / Volume 1 = SSD-only array Storage Pool 2 / Volume 2 = HDD-only array

Good day all - I am a new home-user of a Synology DS720+ and I am reaching out in hopes to find recommendations about configuring SSD cache. My current set-up and use: (2) 4TB HDD Seagate IronWolf drives in RAID1 and (1) Seagate IronWolf 510 M.2 SSD configured as read-only cache. The NAS is...

Hi everyone, As a Christmas present to myself :p, I've ordered a DS620slim with 3 x 4TB WD Red SA500 SSDs in order to retire my DS216+II as a backup NAS. I'm really looking forward to the almost-silence and the performance gain, but am a bit unsure on how to configure the volume. Let me...

Is it better to use 1 larger m.2, let's say 500GB, than 2 smaller ones? I have 2 256 GB Sabrents which I can use or I can buy a single 512.

Hi So long story short: I have a DS920+ with 4 SSDs in. All of them are 1.92TB. I am using SHR. One of the SSD died for the 3rd time so I will replace it. I don't have another SSD right now but I have a 16TB HDD. Can I use it to repair the Storage Pool and then remove/deactivate it so it does...

Hi I got yesterday a new SSD (Iron Wolf 110) and I used it to expand my Storage Pool. Yesterday after the installation was fine and was working properly. This morning I arrived in the office and the Syno was beeping and I got an error that the new Drive failed. I have a Synology DS920+. When...

I’m thinking of buying a couple of NVMe disks to use for cache in my DS1019+, and wondered what other people’s experiences are with them? I remember reading in the past that cache disks on DSM6 don’t (or didn’t) work particularly well, but should be improved in DSM7. But it was quite a while...

Hey all, I'm new on here and have purchased a DS920+ and awaiting for it to be delivered so i thought i'd get the rest of the upgrades that i need in the meantime. Just wanting to buy 2 SSD's for Cache and was looking at the Samsung 970 EVO Plus 250GB M.2 NVMe and was wondering if anyone could...

Hi Tomorrow I should receive the Ironwolf 110 SSDs for my brand new DS920+. In the specific I will receive 4 SSD of 1.92TB (so a total of 7.68TB). Which kind of raid do you suggest me to do? Our goals are performances (we are a small business with 7 employees) and a good backup solution (this...

Hi :) We are an advertising agency with 7 employees and we would like to switch to a NAS System from Synology, in the specific the DS920+. We mostly work on InDesign and Photoshop/Illustrator files and sometimes on some video animations (so no 4k videos). According to our budget we can...

Hi everyone! A a new kid in the block, looking for information in the NAS world for some months. I don't own one yet, but I am in the process to pick up one. Maybe some of of you experts can solve some of my doubts. I'm an amateur photographer who takes photos with a Fuji camera mainly during...
