Dear friends!
After 3 years of nice Synology operation, I am in need of help,
We have a 418play NAS in our company. The person in charge made such a big mess of our NAS and general network which is not even funny. While we are waiting for a new 1522+ unit to arrive with 5x18TB Ultrastars to make sure that I can sleep properly at night, we have run into multiple issues with the 416.
The storage pool had 4 Red WDs, 2.73 TB each, in a SHR configuration. Up till some point everything was ok.
We started swapping the two of the four hard drives with 3.64 TB Blue WDs.
The first week all ok, then the volume crashed (but the storage pool is healthy). I removed a HDD and rebuild the pool and it was all ok for about an hour. Then the volume crashed again but the HDDs show a healthy status.
The array is extremely slow and we are trying to back up the files at the moment to external HDDs. If we use the USB on the unit, the copy is slower than death... I am trying to make images of specific folders.
The question I am asking, since I am not a pro and it will be another week before pros arrive in our premises, how is it possible for the volume to crash while the HDDs are healthy? I mean, it rebuilds itself and then crashes again.
SMART values are all ok, and we are doing an extended smart check to see if there is anything else. Any clues as to what to do? Please do not UBUNTU me as I am just an above average Windows user
Thanks all!
