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

Have someone already tried this?

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...

Just got delivery of the DS923+ so now figuring out the drives and other add-ons to order. I was curious if I could first put in an SSD like a Crucial MX500 and start up the NAS, and finish installation of DSM. And once that’s done, add the rest of the drives (had 3x Seagate Ironwolf Pro 18TB in mind) as a separate volume....

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

Edit: aaaand it's gone. Rest in peace, little hard drive....

I have a DS920+ which I haven't upgraded the ram for, so it still has the default 4GB on it. Reading around, it sounds like Synology only supports adding an additional 4GB for it, but some other sites mention putting an additional 8 or 16 into it....

Do you experience similar connectivity issues when using a VPN provider for torrenting? I have tried different servers (which allow torrenting), both udp/tcp protocol, and the recommended dns settings, yet it remains quite buggy. Somtimes, it works well and remains stable for a few days or even weeks. But eventuelly it loses...

Hello there,...

Hi all,...

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....

I've held off from updating to DSM 7.x because Synology Photos removed object recognition, a feature I use heavily in Momemts....

Over at mariushosting, Marius posted a tutorial on how to get Lemmy running on your Synology NAS. So if anybody is eager to giveit a try, there you go. :-)...

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

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...

Anybody picking up a NAS for Prime Day? Noticed a good deal? Or are there other ideas/recommendations?

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?

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

I have a DS920+ full of 16TB HHDs. I am considering adding a DX517. Is it possible to move my HDDs into the expansion unit and maintain the existing raid while installing SSDs into the original four bays? Does it make sense to put the HDDs in the expansion because they connect over a single eSATA cable? Does it make any sense to...

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

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....

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