First time I have had a Synology HAT5300 in my hands. The distributor in question said he had an initial batch that were all pre-sold, to which he added another 2 drives, the first of which went to the original customer having never touched his hands. The one he was left with was a HAT5300...

I've moved all my data onto my new DS720+ from my simple old Buffalo NAS that just presents USB shares. I want to back up certain shared folders on the Synology to a share on the old NAS, but I can't find any way to do it with tools included with DSM. They only either back up in the other...

Hi all. NAS home user here! Previous NAS was a Zyxel NSA325 which was EOLed back in Jan 2014, it did the job for about 10 years but lately the noise was getting concerning even with regular cleaning (it was definitely in its death screams or at least its fan was lol!) but it was cheap as chips...

A few days ago I shutdown Synology's VPN server, as it was seldom used. However yesterday, when I launched the Docker container qbittorrentvpn, its web GUI failed. After changing the containers VPN credentials (I use AirVPN), and updating the Docker image, I continued to get TUN errors whenever...

I messaged Syno support about the HEVC issue. Below is a copy of the discussion. It still makes zero sense to me why File Station is ok to work without licensing and Photos is not, but that's where we are. Greetings, Thank you for contacting support. We are happy to help. Synology has...

I am running out of space already on my ds920+ and wanted to add two new drives. I currently have two 4tb ironwolf drives using Synology shr for redundancy and wanted to add two 12 tb to give a bit of space that wouldn’t get eaten up in under a year. I saw a Seagate 14tb exos ST14000NM001G...

Thanks in advance for the help! I currently have a Synology DS920+ with a single 8TB Ironwolf NAS drive in it. I have DSM 7 installed with plex, docker, etc. running on it. I use the NAS for plex mainly, but also picture and music backup on it. The 8tb drive is in basic raid setup because I...

The title sounds more complicated than it is in reality: I just have replaced the Synology Reverse Proxy with OPNsense's HAProxy plugin to prevent NAT for more security on all of my Synology services and other different webservices too. Everything is working fine, all my websites on all my...
