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...

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...

The battery has gone bad obviously on my APC ES 550G and it signals this by a high frequent noise that really makes me mad. Are there a better/other model that is compatible with Synology NAS that indicates this kinds of things a little bit better? I am in no need for an expert UPS, it if can...

Hi, This is quite a long-shot but I'll ask anyway :D. I have an old DS-106e and I've seen some dated posts on the internet where the firmware has been upgraded to a later version than would have normally been possible. Many, if not all, of the links are out of date and the files no longer...
