ASK NC

Just wanted to thank you for your site and advice. It's clear, detailed and comprehensive.

It's been especially useful in helping me move from my DS212j to a shiny new DS920+ with 4xSynology HAT5300-4T. A lot to learn about security and global accessibility, which I'm still unsure about.

You may be interested to know that on initial set-up, I was unable to follow the DSM 'wizard' setup because my HDD firmware was out of date. I had to manually update the firmware from 1401 to 1403 first. Didn't expect that.

No need to reply. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for your kind words and feedback! I'm glad to hear that the information on our site has been helpful to you. Updating the firmware on your hard drives before setting up the Synology NAS is a good practice and can help prevent issues like the one you encountered. If you have any further questions or concerns about your new NAS or security and global accessibility, please feel free to reach out. Thanks again for your support!
