I am constantly hearing disc activity on my ds218+. In the Activity manager I can see constant read/write on the performance overview. In the task list I can’t see anything showing read/write, other than Swap, but that shows up less frequently than i hear the clicking. The RAM usage on the system is also under 50%....

I have a RAID 6 volume with data protection on my DS1621+. A video file seems to have become corrupt - it worked in Plex a few months ago but now it won’t play at all. I’ve tried in VLC, the built-in DSM video player - nothing seems to work. No other files appear to be corrupt, all drives show as Healthy....

I‘m planning to migrate from a DS224+ with 2x14TB in Raid 1 and with volume encryption to a DS423+ with 2x18TB in SHR and no encryption....

Now I only have to figure out the best backup strategy and upload all photos for sharing with the lady.

I have set up the reverse proxy at the login portal. I love it, but if I use a url to a non existant service, the proxy sends my to the dsm login page. I dont want this. Is there a way of configuring so that any address not in the list of valid adresses is sent to a 404 page?

Based on the analysis of the community submissions to the Synology RAM Compatibility List, here are some key insights from the previous year:...

I ended up getting the Timetec 16GB module from Amazon (clean link: www.amazon.ca/dp/B07H4XNNXK)....

Not sure if the community has already talked about this. Just came across the article mentioning it. Might cost around the same as the DS220+ does now?

Recently learned about the SynoCommunity packages, but I saw this comment for a package that HyperBackup might not recognize a package and thus not back it up. However, it was unclear if it was for the particular package, or if this is a shortcoming of the SynoCommunity packages—since it’s a third-party thing, maybe it...

I’m writing this post because I’ve gone through all the usual troubleshooting tips and I’m at an dead end....

I have a DS220+ with 2x 6TB drives in RAID. I used some bad RAM, and now the volume is read-only and won’t restore. I was resigned to backup the data, create a new volume, and restore the data, but I had an idea – will this work?: Basically, I use one of the two drives as its own backup. I pull out one drive and save it, I...

Photos added a new directory “PhotoLibrary” and moved my “Moments” folder into the “Photos” directory in my Home folder....

After Amazon recently TOSd my photo backups with no explanation I began looking into solutions where Ai recognition could be used completely offline....

Hi all,...

I think it’s getting time to start research to replace my aging Synology, what’s good in the marketplace right now?...

So I was happily using an SSD nvme as volume storage for all of my docker containers and almost forgot that it was officially unsupported after so long with that setup....

As this community is just starting, I thought learning more about each other's setups would be interesting....

I waited years for this feature to be included in Photos. While the DSM 7.x update and migration to Photos went very smoothly, when I look at the subject album in Photos, it’s showing a very small list vs what I know it’s detected....

Have someone already tried this?

When setting up a DS923+, I added a reservation for IP address to my router. So I was wondering if there is a way to get DSM to pick up the new (and henceforth static) IP address quicker than waiting for the current one to expire (which would take about 22 more hours). On Windows/Mac there’s an option to renew/refresh DHCP in...

Hi everyone! I have a unique issue and wondering if the community can give me some input....

When Synology migrated from Moments to Photos, they dropped the image recognition. I’m specifically calling out the feature that detected cats, dogs, food, beach, whatever....
