synology

I couldn't find a general Synology/NAS thread, apologies if there is one. I currently have a Synology DS920+ (4 bay NAS) with 4x 14TB WD RED. It's starting to reach capacity using Synology Hybrid Raid (SHR). What would be the best upgrade route to expand storage? I've read that the DX517...

I've got a synology 2-bay DS720+, currently with 2 x 4TB drives (IronWolf) in it and running with SHR raid. I recently got hold of an 8TB drive (IronWolf NAS drive). If i swap one of my existing 4TB drives with the 8TB I'm assuming i would still only have 4TB of available storage. Is that right...

Hi folks, As title suggests. I would like to replace one (Amber warning) hdd for a new one. I have a 4 slot nas and I'm only using 3 slots, I have 3x 4tb hdd's in JBOD Btrfs. I was thinking it should be possible to slot in a new 4tb hdd (now all 4 slots are occupied) then copy contents to new...

Looking to get a basic NAS setup for the tens of thousands of photos we have. Currently have some stuff in the cloud and a couple of external drives I manually backup to once in a while. Can't make up my mind between the entry level Synology or building one (for less than half the price) using a...

Interesting... QNAP are releasing a high-end WiFi6 router that crushes the Synology RT2600ac, not to mention most mainstream routers out there... https://nascompares.com/2020/09/14/new-qnap-qhora-301w-wifi-6-10gbe-router-revealed/ The only downside I can see to this router is that QNAP did not...

My office currently runs an ageing SBS2013 server and we have a very poor broadband connection (roughly 8-10 down and 0.8-1.0 up). I've discussed upgrading this in another thread, but for the moment, we're stuck with what we have. Remote email access is fine, but I'd like to improve the remote...

Hi, not sure if this is the right section or not.....anyway, my Synology NAS (running latest version of DSM (6.2.2-24922 Update 4)), has alerted me to some failed login attempts on the "admin" account. The "admin" account is disabled. When I look at the source IP addresses (there have been...

Hello. I have a Synology 718+ with the 16gb ram upgrade. When I try to upload something from my Surface tablet I get very slow speeds fluctuating between 70Kbps and 150Kbps. But when I upload from my PC I can get a stable 4.5Mbps. Help me work out what is throttling the Surface. Both are...

Evening, could someone please recommend me some ram to add to a Synology 718+. Thanks! edit: Forgot to mention it currently just has the ram that came with it, 2GB of DDR3.

I have both of these devices, but use the DS916+ for most of my content due to it being much more powerful, modern and supporting better media streaming. However, the 916+ is 70% full so I am thinking off adding a Synology DS513 unit and moving the drives from the DS410j into that device and...

Looking for some advice on a new NAS as current setup needs to be replaced. Existing setup; 3TB WD MyCloud NAS with personal files (backed up to USB drive) 5TB Seagate Personal Cloud NAS for movies (dead, but backed up to USB drive) 5TB USB drive with movies on (not backed up) Want to have...

I purchased a Netgear Gigabit switch because I was getting buffering on some large video files when streaming to my LG TV which is downstairs. I am using cat 6 ethernet cables and 1 cable connected from my gigabit switch to my router (BT Home hub 5) and the rest connected to the switch, however...

Dear All I have been struggling with the connection between my Synology DS215j and my BT Smart Hub for 6 months now (as well as my Nest Thermostat - although I think its the same issues) I can link to the NAS when I am on the wifi network but I can't log in when I am away from home and I...
