Hi I’m new to my nas and feel like a noob, I have the 920+ and have 2 18tb hard drives to go in it if I use shr will I lose the capacity of one drive for redundancy or can I use the full storage of both drives and still have redundancy

Sorry for the noob question

Hi All, 

First of all I'd like to thank everyone for making this community available! Great that there are people who can help an amateur like me out with everything related to NAS.

I am considering to buy a NAS, I am inclined to Synology due to the software. However, I'm open for other brands. The two use cases I have (for now) are: 

• Run a plex mediaserver and stream movies in 4K (HDR) to my TV. (and stream to iPad)
  
• Create periodically backups of my Proxmox server.. 
  
• Create periodically backups of my Google Drive, iCloud Photos and (not a must) Macbook.
  

I currently have a TVS-672XT + 8bay JBOD expansion.

Its looking like I'm going to need more space on my NAS, would it be possible to add another JBOD expansion? or am I limited to 1?

hello, Just a quick question, Im looking to set up a new NAS drive function for work, but i want to know if there is a product geared or with the ability to integrate / manage accessibility levels. For example, if finance staff only need access to finance files and field workers only have access to relevant information etc...

Is this a possibility via a NAS drive or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Kind Regards,
Hayden

I would like to remove my 2 data disks from a Synology DS220J and install in a Synology DS220+. The DS220j is working fine but would like better performance from the DS220+. Is this possible and if so what are the steps?
Thanks for your help!

Recently bought a DVA1622 and set up with 13 cameras. Primary reason was the HDMI capability. However, with the monitor center on via HDMI cpu and mem utilization is consistently above 90%. Synology tech recommends lowering camera resolution or increasing memory. They have not identified what memory to add to the already "maxed" me config according to them. Do you know of any unovvicial mem upgrades for the 1622? Thanks

Hi, I currently have a DS220J NAS which works fine apart from being very slow at loading its apps. I do not need more than 8TB or all the bells and whistles but I do need the NAS to be much more responsive. Any assistance you can provide with regards to this will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Can you tel me me if this unit will accept a 3rd party wifi 6E adapter. Recomaendations?

With a wifi adaptor installed can you connect to a router and / or other wifi devices directly?

Also what 3 or 4TB disks would you recommend.


Many thanks

I've watched a lot of your video's and I need to purchase a new storage device. I've come to the conclusion I want a device with 2.5 GB ports, quad core w/Imbedded Graphics, min 4 bays. I would like to get a Synology, however they don't seem to fit the bill completely. I just can't seem to figure out which one will work well for me. This is my first NAS, although I'm replacing a Drobo. I'm up for suggestions.

I've purchased a Sonos system and want a NAS drive on which I can store and access all my music (I have quite a few CDs which I've ripped to MP3)

I also have quite a number of DVDs (also ripped to MP4) which I'd like to be able to put on the NAS too, so I can watch them on my TV (LG ~3 years old).

I have an existing 2TB hard drive (Seagate SkyHawk Lite) which I had originally thought would be enough to start with, but if allowing for future growth, RAID, etc then I guess I'm probably going to need more than one drive and possibly more than 2TB....so maybe 4TB?

At this stage I'm only really planning on making the content available from home...but if it's possible to set it up to be accessible from anywhere, then that could be something useful to get into. I believe you have to be careful re security though if delving into this side of things.
