Hi there,
I came across your great videos on Youtube. Thank you very much for the effort in educating uneducated people like me

i am completely new to QNAP NAS and am currently trying to wrap my head around following issue:

I installed the ownCloud application on my NAS. If I am trying to download apps for ownCloud in the Market place I get the error SSL certifivate expired/not valid. I downloaded the QNAP Ubuntu application to ssh into my NAS and create my own SSL certificates. Not working. Until it came to my mind that I am only installing a virtual machine on my NAS but not really accessing the NAS itself. What can I do to get the SSL installed?

Thank you so much for your advise.

best regards
Gunther

I have a 4 bay Synology NAS (DS421+). It has two WD Red 10 TB (WD100EAFX-68LPN0) and two 3TB (WD30EFRX-68EUZN0) drives fitted. I have purchased two new WD Red Plus 10TB (WD101EFBX-68B0AN0) drives to replace the 3TB drives and later will migrate all the drives to a new NAS (yet to be purchased). I swapped out one 3TB drive for a new WD plus drive and the noise and vibrations are really noticeable. Before I didn't not notice the NAS noise and now it can be heard 2 rooms away. I have measured the vibrations of the drives when powered up individually  in an external caddy. The old 3TB (5400rpm) drive has a peak frequency of 89.9 Hz and peak acceleration of 0.1 m/s². The new 10TB plus drives have a peak frequency of 119.9 Hz. One has a peak acceleration of 1.1 m/s² and the other 1.3 m/s². Is this acceptable? Will the vibrations damage the other drives. NAS noise means no longer suitable for a desktop environment Vibrations were measured using an accelerometer app on my phone.

I wanted to find out if I currently have one disk and data stored on it, can I create a RAID 1 after adding another disk without losing data. My NAS is QNAP

Synology 920 PLUS

As a NUBI to NAS I am still setting up my Synology 920 PLUS unit.
In File Station I have set up 6 Master Folders.
The unit has 2 users plus the admin user.
There are some folders accessible by both users.
One of the folders will be connected to our Home Projector.

I also want to setup an ISCSI Connection and assign a drive letter for each Master folder.

If I set up an ISCSI Connection will it FORMAT or effect the pre-existing Shared Folders I have already created and started to populate.

If I install docker or another package will it affect the info I have already installed in File Station or is each package separate.

I guess these are very basic questions but no one explains these things, or at least I cannot find the answer online.

I binge watched your Synology NAS Setup Guide, I found it fantastic but I am still am a bit lost about the ISCSI set up, or maybe I missed it in the 17 videos I watched.

Hello to you,

I want to upgrade my NAS's (ReadyNAS Netgear NV+ and Seagate BlackArmor 400) to have only one NAS faster, easier to configure, PLEX application on it and more available spaces for future adding HDD or SSD to increase in size over time.
Presently my application PLEX is running on a server apart from my NAS because not supported. I was looking for the Synology DS1821+ because it’s 8 bays and not so expensive. I think it will solved most of my problems now (slow transfer, disconnection from network, better support-protection and not much applications on it). From what I could understand also, Synology can use different companies of HDD mixed so I could reuse my current HDD in the new NAS.
What do you think? Did I forget something important? I think not but you will tell me. ?
Thank you.

Hi, I have my QNAP TS-431, which is turning on for a while, start resyncing and then a couple of beeps and off again. This is happening awhile ago. There is no error, there is no log, just te beeps.

I was wondering if I can buy a Terramaster NAS and pop up my disks over there, do I have a chance to rebuild my RAID 5 over there?

Or is it better to just buy another QNAP NAS to get it working again?

Or maybe Im just screw and I can no longer access to my data?

PS: when QNAPs boots up, I can access to the data, is right there! I blow all the dust away, When I did that worked the same, then I factory reset (no format) and it worked for a couple of days... I was thinking to use som contact cleaner...


Please help!!!

Hi,

I have a daily backup up configured from the TS 464 using Hybrid Sync to a directly attached hard drive. The backup up runs successfully everyday on schedule.
However I am trying to use simple versioning to create multiple versions of the backup. Although an up to date backup coy is created each time that the job runs this replaces the previous copy and multiple copies are never created even though Version Management is enables.
The error message is Warning 2023-07-04 11:16:05 System 192.168.1.106 Web Desktop Hybrid Backup Sync Custom Job Event [Hybrid Backup Sync] Finished Backup job "Daily Backup to LaCie" with errors. Failed to create multiple versions for backup.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I have had a Synology NAS DS216+II 8TB for many years as an offline storage which works fine.
Despite the offline facility having fast ethernet/Fibre (200mbps download and 30mbps upload - even across 4G the video and even picture playback is slow.
My own Fibre is not as good - 38mbps download but only 6mbps upload.
I am wondering if the new Synology NAS DS723 would improve this in any way?
Clearly the bottleneck for home connect for syncing my PC with the NAS (6mbps upload) but it is very slow. Max 1Mb/s sync'ing currently.
Or what else would you recommend?
Is it easy to keep the same account and swap the physical Synology NAS?
Thanks

Hi Robbie,

My current DS3622xs+ is populated with a total of 32gb of memory (4x8gb), but I would like to pull 2 of the 8gb sticks and drop in another 64gb for a total of 80gb. First, is this possible using the v-color ram as shown on the unofficial memory upgrade guide.

Second, is there anything I need to do as I swap out the 2x8 and put in the 2x16 or 2x32 memory sticks? I have tried a number of memory units but the server would not boot as i tried to upgrade it beyond a total of 32gb.

I am wondering if there is something akin to a BIOS that needs to be reset to see that the ram quantity has changed.

thanks!

Hi there, I'm looking to possibly add a NAS system to the main media storage for my audio and video collections; I'm not exactly sure what software programs are available on NAS systems, but I currently use the Apple iTunes now music app to organize my audio collection I'm not sure if those apps are available on a NAS system. I would like to use Plex or whatever the best option would be for the video collection. I would also like to monitor my home's security cameras; I currently use Wyze cam V3, Wyze pan cam V2, and Wyze outdoor cams. Family members in other states and countries will also use the system. I have some above-average technical skills but wouldn't consider myself an expert. A variety of operating systems will be used to access the content (Mac OS, IOS, Android, and Windows).
Thank you in advance for your help.
