upgrade

Looking at B&H this morning to assist a friend with a DS725+ purchase. I suggested considering a 4GB RAM upgrade. Then sticker shock... How is it possible that a RAM upgrade equal to the RAM provided in the NAS will cost just $46 less than the NAS?

Hi SynoForum Community: I posted last year about upgrading to the DS224+ and I'm finally ready to bite the bullet and upgrade (to the DS225+ instead), but... ideally I need to upgrade my storage too (2 x WD Red 2TB), which is now 11 years old, albeit still healthy. My main use cases are photo...

In 2015 I put together a DS1815+ with 8x4TB WD Red Pro 7200 spinners in RAID 10 in one volume. I have just had my 2nd drive failure, first was years ago. Looking for a straight replacement of the 4TB drive I see is absurd with prices on much larger units of the same mfg at the same price. My...

Package centre shows that I am on version 4.1.3-4140, which it claims is the Newest online version. However If I look at the release notes, it has two newer versions 4.2.0-4227 and 4.2.1-4228. Should I wait until Package Center notifies me of an update or try to do a manual update? If the latter...

Hi all, I've been running a DS220+ for a while now, and storage wise I'm ok (8TB is enough for me) and the ability to connect 2 network lines to my router is great as I've got 1gbps fibre at home. I do however run a lot of Docker containers for general life for me and the other half. They...

Hi I have an 1819+. Recently, I manually upgrade the OS to 7.3. Ever since then, everyday after 12:00 midnight, the NAS ran script (I think it’s a Synology maintainence script) which set my RAID to read only. It seems peculiar because the RAID always recoversan after a reboot, and Storage...

My primary NAS is a 1520+ with a DX517 extension. But because of noise and heat, I do not run it on a full schedule. I added a DS223j with 2x 10TB Hitachi Enterprise drives, and am impressed and happy with it as a simple workhorse for file sharing, interim backups, and cloud downloads/sync...

Hey all, I have DS214+ with DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 9, 2x 4TB hdd I would like to increase the capacity of my NAS to 2x12TB. Is it possible to use such large disks? I am planning to buy this type of drive WD Red Plus 12TB (WD120EFGX) Thank you all very much in advance for your help.

As mentioned in the note: "6. Added an option to automatically lock encrypted storage entities during a manual reset (Mode 1). After the reset, the key vault is erased and disabled, and encrypted volumes and shared folders are locked to prevent unauthorized access. This option is set to disabled...

Hi, Thought I'd begin purposefully by asking for some help. Rarely will I be able to help anyone, as people here obviously are way more knowledgeable about NAS than I can ever be. For me, NAS is purely for media: movies and music. Though it also works out for my accountant to keep a backup of...

Hey SynoForum Community: I am fed up with how slow my DS215j is these days, understand it is old tech and the upgrade to DSM7 would have only made things worse. Case in point: a recent backup to an external HDD (535GB consisting primarily of Photos and Videos) using Hyper Backup took almost 10...

I have Synology 213j running (I think) 6.3 firmware. It is filling up so I have been considering potential upgrades. The Ugreen 4800 seems a strong contender as the Synology 423+ is no longer available, the 425+ is limited to Synology drives and the Ugreen is higher spec for less cash. My...

Getting everything ready to setup the DS1821+ which has just arrived along with 3x EXOS drives and looking to have the RAM installed from the start rather than adding as I go. Found comments and videos recommending certain modules but they are no longer for sale or the links no longer work...

I am ofcourse going to do a deep dive on this but it can't hurt to ask you for some sage advice. Currently running two SA3400 in a HA cluster. We need to upgrade that cluster with two SA3410 as the SA3400 have been running 5 years. What would be the preferred method to go from SA3400 to SA3410...

Hi, I'd like to update (finally) my DSM 6.2.4 to the newest DSM 7.2.2 (of course with those required middle-steps 6.2.4>7.0.1>7.2.2>7.2.2 Update 3) in my DS1618+. Before I will do it, can anyone here confirm that Docker and all those running containers will be fully transitioned to the new...

Hello. I'm richm in NYC where the Spring has been colder than Winter. I just stepped up from a DS216+ to a DS1522+ and looking forward to the Forum.

I have a DS216+ with two 1GB drives running as a file server in my small office. We are using SMB, Synology Drive, Synology Directory Server, Cloudsync, and Hyperbackup. We are using full encrypted volumes and Hyperbackup is encrypted. This setup is over 5 years old and I want to replace it...

I have an ancient (SLOW, but still running) Synology DS-209+II running DSM 4.2 (I believe it was the last DSM version available for my NAS). My 209 NAS houses 2x4 TB drives using Synology Hybrid RAID (SHR) ext4. I've just purchased a DS-923+ with 2x16TB drives (waiting on shipment). I've...
