My use is for home personal use.
I use my primary 1813+ for shared file storage of documents, drawings, photos, music files, software install packages and as a target for a Time Machine from several Macs.
The second unit received shared file sync copies. It recently died. So, while I try getting it fixed, the disks moved to the newly acquired
1019+.
I am kind of a privacy wonk and don’t share any data with the cloud.
I have been messaging with tech support (I opened a ticket) for 2 weeks (hence the new unit).
It failed the memory test so I replaced the memory but that failed too. I am suspecting power supply issues since it seemed to run until there was disk activity. But, I can’t be sure.
The last two reply’s I made to tech support asked for help getting it repaired but it seems they are dodging the question. I don’t see anything on their web site about repairs. An equivalent replacement (
ds1819+) is nearly a thousand bucks.
Any suggestions? I suppose I should start a topic about it.
