I need to swap out two, very full 8TB drives (simple volumes, no RAID) from a DS220j and replace them with two 16TB drives (still no RAID) which arrive in a few days. All of the current shares from both 8TB HDDs will go onto one 16TB HDD/volume leaving the other HDD for another use. tl;dr: Is...

I have a problem connecting from a Mac that I do not understand. It started after upgrading to the latest version of DSM (Version: 7.2.2-72806 Update 1). I had no problems before that, other than failing to connect via Webdav, which is why I switched to this method of connecting. I know my...
