I am just a simple consumer with a NAS for file backup and retrieval across my home PCs. I have no real knowledge about programming, networking, or system administration. So please be patient with me. Thanks!
I have a DS220j NAS and two Kingdston SA400S37/480G SSD drives. I store my files on one drive and it backs them all up on the second drive every Sunday-- at least that's what I told it to do. Now, the drives are not officially supported by my NAS. So I've read and researched how ridiculous it is to get officially-supported drives, and I hate the idea of searching for and buying said drives.
So what currently happens is that when I try to do Hyper Backup, it can work for 2 to 10 minutes or so-- doing a tiny fraction of the total work-- before my NAS decides it has heated up too much and it shuts itself down. This happens consistently and without fail, and I always get a notification message. I've owned this NAS and these drives for over a year before realizing what was actually happening, and before realizing that I didn't have a single real backup. Yeah, I'm stupid, but I am not a system admin type so I didn't know to check until now. xD I now have a real backup, but only after babysitting Hyper Backup for half a day and restarting the NAS and backup process manually every time the NAS shut down.
I saw a thread on these forums about how SSDs have a higher operating temperature than "generic" drives (according to Synology, and which are assumed by them to be HDDs); and the thread said I should raise the shutdown temperature. I attempted to follow the instructions, but my NAS asked me for an external USB key, I think? I don't think I ever set one up. Either way, it seems I have to get root access or whatever and modify the max temperature setting. I'm guessing my SSDs need to have a max temperature of 85°C? A400 Solid State Drive – 120GB–1.92TB - Kingston Technology says the operating temp is 70°C and the storage temp is 85°C, and I'm not sure what that means.
I found these articles on these forums, which I have read:
Solved - SSD overheating during btrfs data scrubbing
Info - Synology's "Incompatibility" List ... Yikes!
I also found this on Reddit:
What can I do so that my NAS stops thinking it's overheating, and so I can finally use Hyper Backup properly? Thanks!
