I have a USB four-drive enclosure [NOT SYNOLOGY] I attached to my DS920+.

I recently changed (upgraded) drives and renamed them on my local machine.

However, when I reattached it to the DS920+ (via USB) they still have the previous drive names.

How can I rename the JBOD drives attached in my DS920+?

Hey friends. Looking to upgrade my f2-210 to a decent home server for photos data snd plex server for 4k content. House is wired cat5e to future proof I want 2.5g connections and debating between the AS5404T and f4-423 thoughts or other ideas

Hello my Drobo stopped working the other day and the power supply that plugs into it is flashing green so I ordered a new power supply which hasn't come in yet but this has made me determine I'm going to replace it so any advice would be greatly appreciated I looked at your video and comparisons and it was very informative. I'm leaning towards Other World Computing.

When Ryzen processor used?

Hi. I have watched almost all the synology nas youtube videos and I am perPLEXed on what to do. 1)I want object recognition so I need 4 GB RAM. I am a home user with a modest amount of data but use my NAS for photo library and files. 2)I will soon upload action camera videos as well. All of the multimedia stuff is viewed on mobile ios devices. 3) 920+ is not available in Australia easily. So do I hunt one down or buy ds423+. In both cases I assume I have to upgrade the RAM. In the end this seems the better option for multimedia vs ds923+… but I guess it all comes down to does storing action camera videos on the NAS and watching them on a mobile device if if 4k or higher. I dont really understand transcoding but I assume there will be a need here.

Hi. I have 4 Synology NAS (DS411+, DS1511+, DS716+ and DS1821+). The unit I use for Surveillance Station is the DS716+ with 11 licenses and currently using only 10. The cameras are today all Hikvision with 1-3MP, 3-4MP, 1-4MP ColorVu and 5-8MP ColoVu.

Just ordered the 4MP ColorVu to evaluate the difference vs the 8MP ColorVu. The plan is to perhaps move all remaining cameras to either 4 or 8MP ColorVu when the test period is finished. All new cameras are from the Hikvision PRO range 2CD2087, 2CD2387 and 2CD2347.

The DS716+ I currently use for my security system has worked fine all these years and continue to do so. The NAS has 8GB RAM running DSM 6.2.4 with 2 2TB disks running hybrid raid. Storage capacity in excess of 30 days (only on recording detections which are somewhat frequent) today without problems. All recording at 15fps and full resolution.

Is there anything to gain from upgrading the NAS and if so, which model/configuration would you suggest and when.

Thank you.

I want to buy a NAS to keep and work on it, my photolibrary from Mac Computers. I listen Asustec has NAS with a MYARCHIVE functionality to be able to format the HDD as HFS+ (apple requirement to work with photolibrary).

My question is if that configurarion will work or not.

Maybe do you have other options that works as well?

Thank you very much!

I have purchased a Synology 923+ with 4, 4TB drives configured as RAID 6 to replace a Drobo 5n with 5, 5TB drives configured as RAID 5. The Drobo has about 1.5 TB of data that needs to be migrated to the 923+. What is the most efficient method of migrating the data short of a direct file by file copy operation. Thanks for the advice.

Please help. QNAP TS231P QTS5.1 RAID1. I updated to 5.1 and replace faulty Seagate 6Tbs with Toshiba MG 8Tbs all backed up, mostly multimedia. I must have made a mistake and all 7.28Tbs allocated with no space for snapshots. QTS won't let me reduce pool size 4Tb still unused, what can I do? Reformat and start again or something else? Any help much appreciated.

I need to replace my Synology DS214 and want to run some containers, so I am thinking of either DS224+ or DS723+. I am leaning towards the DS723+ as it is a bit more powerful (more than I need really) and has more upgrade possibilities. I have a few old 256GB nvme SSDs and I am wondering if I can use 2 to make a storage volume to run diskstation OS and some docker containers and use the 2x 6TB HDDs as a slower data volume. If not possible, I am probably better off with the DS224+. Thanks and keep up the good work!
