upgrade

Hi, I just returned my 1st NAS ever 220+, it worked fine, however soon realized that it wouldn't accommodate future expansion plans, so I exchanged for the 920+, knowing that it too has limitations, however as a starter NAS it is way more than I can use presently, future 2-3 years might require...

After my initial upgrade to 6GB with a 4GB Crucial memory that lasted for more than 7 months with no problems, I've gone mad and upgraded the 220+ to 18GB 😁 It's been about a week now and no problems so far. I've never received any warnings even during the first boot after installation, it was...

Apart from being cautious about new releases, why wouldn't I want to upgrade? What apps might it break, for example?

Hello, I have a DS415, DSM 6.2, 4HD 3TB WD RED and now it is running out of space. I am using Synology Hybrid RAID (SHR)(with data protection for 2-drive fault tolerance. 1- There are available WD RED, WD RED PLUS, WD RED PRO, I am thinking of getting one drive and exchange by 10TB. Which one...

Hi all, I'm a long time 211+ user who just ordered my new 220+. So I thought I'd better say hello so you know who I am when I start asking dumb questions lol! Going to have a look around the Forum now, looks very busy around here!

Hi everyone! I upgraded my DS218+ with an 8GB Crucial stick (after having checked compatibility on NAScompares at the time). DSM correctly sees the 10 GB, but after using 2GB (big task) does not use the other 8GB free physical memory (still displays them as free) and instead starts swapping to...

Currently running a DS220+ (2X4TB BTRFS/SHR) on DSM 6.2.3-25426 Rel.3 in a small home environment (two users, no external access), as a file and media (Photostation and Plex) server, on a Windows-based network (Ethernet). Being a cautious sort of chap (and not being an ‘early-adopter’ fan of OS...

Hi everyone :) I am currently using a Synology DS1819+ as a file server and to host a wiki (~20 users). The device comes equipped with 4GB of DDR4 and so far RAM usage has remained below 20% (usually around 15%). I guess this means that 1GB of RAM would be enough for what my DS does, right? I...

I have a client that needs more space on the NAS. I have two options and would like to know what you guys think is the better option. Option 1 upgrade the existing 5 drives in the DS1618+ (new 8TB drives, currently 3TB drives) to larger disks to create the needed space. Using SHR for the...

Afternoon all - posted this in the community, thought I'd try here for additional input/response: I followed a tutorial last fall that creates a pi hole server (container) within Portainer. At the end of the tutorial, it indicates that the pihole server is upgradable by shutting in the...

Hi, currently have 2 units running at home, my main one is the DS215 running 2 3GB drives, I have a backup in my detached office for my critical media onto the DS118 2GB, this is done over rsync. This is mainly for phone media, GoPro and DSLR storage, a bit of music and small amount of document...

I have a a Synology DS213J. It contains 1 x 2TB & 1 x 3TB drive. I cloned the 2TB drive to a new 4TB disk. However when I replace the 2TB disk with cloned 4TB disk, Synology still only recognizes 2TB of available data. Is there any free Windows software that will allow me to expand the EXT4...

I've read multiple threads and guides on the topic - still creating a post to make sure I got the procedure right, especially as there are multiple steps on volume setup and adjustment! :) Scenario: - upgrading from a super-old DS214Play to a new DS920+. The old NAS will be shut down at the end...

Does anyone currently have 64gb ram in their DS1621xs+? If so, what ram did you use? Thanks in advance.

I wasn't really planning on this upgrade but stumbled on a new 'Synology' branded ECC SODIMM for regular DDR4 money. I need more RAM than this but for now it does, at least, double my RAM and brings me into dual-channel mode. My search for a bigger and better memory configuration that escapes...

Hey all I am quickly running out of space on my 1815+ which is currently filled with a mix of 4TB drives which are all just over 5 years of power on time so I am looking to upgrade all of these to 6TB drives, I have been offered a good price on some enterprise Seagate drives. either the...

So my RS1219+ came with 2GB ram, and I am always using over 50% of it and quite often maxing it out. Looking at other ram posts, Crucial was a commonly recommended company, but according to their website they apparently don't have anything that is compatible with the RS1219+? Memory RAM & SSD...

If anyone is interested… I grabbed a 4 GB memory upgrade for the DS220+ (for a total of 6 GB). Crucial 4 GB Single DDR4-2666 SODIMM 1.2V CL19 (CT4G4SFS8266) For about $18 Overall, the system feels noticeably more responsive (I’m running a few Docker containers, Emby and installed vDSM). The...

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...
