On DSM6.2 several of My USBdisks where nicely mounted. DSM7 refuses to mount these. Disks where formatted in NTFS or ext4. However a large USBstick formatted in exfat, and a small USBstick formatted in NTFS mounted perfectly. Any ideas on how to resolve this?

I've just done a lot of transferring of data from my (previous NAS backed up) USB drive to my new NAS, directly using USB Copy package in both instances. I rather stupidly selected 'Mirroring Mode' to realise that if I delete something on one side it will delete it in the other (I know) So my...

Good afternoon. I am conducting an investigation into a Synology NAS. Specifically, I was asked to collect information regarding USB devices connected to the NAS. I only have a forensic image of the NAS and so cannot boot the NAS. I found on the SYNOSYSDB that an external disk (USB Disk 1)...

Hi all, Hoping someone can assist. I've recently upgraded my DS220J to DSM 7.0. I was previously using the excellent "Deluge" port from SynoCommunity, but since DSM 7.0 has merged Python 3.0 into its own system, Deluge no longer is functional. As a result I have successfully installed...

Hi all, 1st post, so thanks for listening and creating this forum I just found out about. Here's what I'd like to hear from you guys probably with a lot more experience than me on VMM: I've been running Home Assistant (aka HASS) in a VM on my DS916+ for over a year, probably two, without any...

Is there a "best practice" regarding rotating external USB disk when backing up there ? I'd like to manually rotate disks if possible without needing to get into the UI - is it possible / feasible ?

Hi I've used Hyper Backup to backup my entire NAS (DS 218J) to a USB drive using the Local (single version option) and it copied the full 2.5TB of data to the USB drive. However when I use the Local (multi-version option) with encryption I get a backup size of just 1.4TB - what's going on? I...

Hi, I have a WD My Book connected to my DS415play in one of the rear USB ports. I'm on DSM 6.2.4-25556. It was working fine until recently and then I lost the share. At the moment I have the drive plugged into my laptop and it's working fine, but I want to get it back as a shared drive on the...

Hi Can any make/model of USB memory stick be used for storing encryption keys (then, later, reading while attached to the NAS) or do they have to be on Synology's (somewhat out of date) compatibility list? Thanks in anticipation Rema

Hi, I recently bought a DS213J which I'm using solely with an external USB device which has super/ military grade security. In a silent room the DS213J is very noisy, presumably due to it's disks. I'm not using disks for storage, although I understand they hold the OS. I have adjusted power...

I would like to use the USB Copy function of my DS220+ to copy over video footage from my GoPro onto my NAS. The video footage is stored on a MicroSD card. What is the best way to use the USB Copy function? Do I need to get some kind of adaptor so that the MicroSD card can connect to the USB...

I removed the second WD 4GB BTRFS data disk from my DS216+, put it in a HDD docking unit and connected it to the USB 3 connector on the same DS216+. The three partitions on the disk are not recognised, with File System type: <Not Supported>. Is this normal?

I just recently upgraded from DS1512+ to 1621+ and noticed it only has 3 USB ports vs 6 ports on 1512+. I have 3 USB drives and I also need to connect a UPS. Did anybody had to use a USB hub. Any recommendations? Looks like DS1621+ has USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports. TIA

A couple of years ago I finally decide to buy a NAS unit for my home PC and that of my wife to back up appropriate files/folders, some of which are decades old. I also wanted to store copies of photographs and other documents that were accumulating on cameras and Google Drive etc. Some of this...

I use an external 2TB external USB drive to provide monthly backups of various folders on my NAS (DS218+; DSM6.2). In USB Copy I have 8 tasks set up to do these backups. My 2TB is now too small and full, so I bought a 5TB drive; plugged it in only to find that the existing tasks do not see the...
