Heck! With an “Experimental NAS”…. As a test case……

and stagnation staring us in the face…. NAS's at 7.3.2-4

A “Beer or two” is more like it!

Recent porch and garage lighting upgrades finished, but Still ‘involved’ in our porch wood renovation, and a new camera position install the recent bear visit showed us…. Wasn’t ‘covered’….. but what the heck...... DONE!! and he can have 3 beers on me!

EDIT: Drive Info "Sees" my 3rd Party eSATA DRIVES in 3rd party External Enclosure -- ON NAS, as well as M.2 R/W! and SMART DATA on ALL DRIVES!! and from one NAS it can display all! (Don't forget to set configs!)
NOW INTERESTING POINT: Drive Info "Sees" the 2600 Router as it scans, but can't access it, because 2600 PACKAGE CENTER doesn't support PACKAGE SOURCES.....
Is this something for the future? I would LOVE to access SMART DATA on external USBV3 Drive, and verify it is good: on the fly, on 2600!

and this is in just 30 min of examining time! :) He needs a Hamburger, too!!

Revisited early this AM. Use of this was bothering me.
No — STILL LIKE what I’m seeing!

Kinda reminds me of 2016, when there were such a positive direction in the future for us Users! There was so much promise for the future then!

Then there was the slow decline — and as mentioned above - stagnation…..

Simple things, like being able to determine if a drive is working correctly…… Why should that NOT be available?? I asked that of Support and was told: “It’s not needed - 3rd party eSATA drives are considered a “plug in drive””. What - makes an eSATA drive - or USB plug in drive - irrelevant and SMART Data — OFF LIMITS??

On a device that relies upon operational drives for data security??

Stagnation is being polite.

I will support these folks. They appear to be forward thinking individuals. I believe Synology has lost their direction.

I will still support what Synology has that still works correctly: I did just recently purchase another camera license (Thank you, Bear on my porch!)

Wouldn’t it be nice if someone would release a H265 driver for current SS? Now THAT would save much more than 4% of drive space that the new 7.4 feature claims! (Over H264!)!
