storage

Hello I’m an independent developer. Even though I don’t own a Synology NAS, I’ve always wanted one. For now, I use a Netgear RAX120 with an 8 TB external hard drive as my storage solution. It holds all of my precious files and memories.

Hi everyone, hope someone can help me with this. I had a Full Storage event due to some backups growing too much and me overlooking the remaining space. Anyway I managed to regain some space (150gb ca.) but after start and stopping Photos app I still can’t access Photos app and when i browse to...

Hi everyone, I recently got a couple of Intel Optane M10 16gb nvme drives, as I would like to get my dockers moved to them so I can then spin down the HDDs. The weird issue I am seeing is that, whenever I try to add the storage pool ( either via the interface or the script ) , the maximum size...

Hello all, My RS1221+ suffered a Storage Pool crash today so look for advice on how to recover it as the symptoms of this one are new to me. Configuration: Storage Pool 1, Volume 1 = 6 x SSDs in SHR1 Storage Pool 2, Volume 2 = 2 x HDDs in SHR (mirrored backup of Volume 1) Event: Overnight...

Was looking at drive hours today just to see where they are at…. and realized that my external eSata drive on all + series NAS does not show up in drive list in Storage manager. Mine are all 3rd party enclosures, not Synology hardware. Drives are SSD. (But same MFG & Model SSD show up in...

Is it safe to rearrange the disks in a DS923+ without any trouble? I've got three disks as a SHR (bays 1-3), and a disk 4 as a single SHR(bay 4) at the moment. I'd like to move the single disk to bay 1 instead and move the others to 2-4).

I have several users on my DS920 and for fun I built a Raspberry pi 5 nas for offline backup. Using nextcloud on my Pi I'd like to copy the users' photos over to the PI server. Can anyone point me to the correct folders. TIA

I believe I already know the answer to this question but hoping I am wrong. I need to migrate a DS420+ from 4-8TB SHR with 1 drive fault tolerance to a 3-16TB SHR with 1 drive fault tolerance. I assume since I am decreasing the RAID from 4 to 3 drives it will require a backup and restore, correct?

When I first configured my DS220+, I assigned my two 4Tb drives into a single RAID1 storage pool and single (max size) Btrfs volume. I’m using about 35% of available space. I now know that was a big mistake as I now have a desire for a second volume to serve as an off-site Hyper Backup for a...

So I started off with a perfectly fine running system. Three drives in my 4 slot DS423+.... One of my other NAS had a failed drive so I bought a 12TB WD SATA drive. I figured I'd upgrade my main NAS and then use the replaced drive in my other "backup NAS." I inserted the drive which happens to...

Sorry to ask for advice on a fairly basic question... I have a DS918+ running DSM 7.1.1, which had 2 x 8 TB Seagate Ironwolf Pro and 2 x 10 TB Seagate Ironwolf HDDs in one SHR storage pool (using btrfs) with 2-drive fault tolerance. Both 10TB drives unfortunately failed a short time apart and...
