Hellow,

Newbie here recently bought Synology DS118 ,Need advice for best android backup workflow with NAS ,backup including photos & music ,as my phone is running out of storage.

Thanks.

Hello,

I would like to ask you this.
If i have the chance to buy a ds720+ for the same price of a ds220+/ds224+ (300-350€), do you think it is a good deal?
I am asking this because i am afraid i can loose some feature DSM update because of being an older model than ds224+, despite being the same hardware, or will they become obsolete at the same time?

I also would like you opinion on amazon pre-populated NASes with hard drives. Do you think there are any disadvantages? Regarding to quality/price/performance/warranty or any other you can think of?

And regarding to RAM, is it completely safe to upgrade it to (unofficial) 8GB?
Is it possible to have problems in the future by a DSM update breaking the compatibility?

Thank you very much for your help.

Looking at building my first NAS. Does the synology DS220+ pair well with the Seagate ironwolf pro 16TB (NE-ST16000NE000). Or any recommendations for a better system/configurations.

We would like to have our 20tb of archive media and next 5 years of 4k-8k production media in one place assessable around the world on multiple devices both for quick ipad edits and field backups to larger scale multi editors working on the same project at the same time solutions.

The rs2423c vs the ds1823xs+

Or should we look at a non synology solution?

Hi I'm looking for a media server solution for my home, to play flac music current library 6tb plus flac, dsd files and haven't converted my dvds or blu-ray discs yet but planning on doing mkv format. First time doing this current movie collection around 300 dvds, 200 blu-ray discs. Right now only play music on my pc and movies on my player but looking to stream now my library. Hope you can help on recommendation on a device for my needs with something affordable and future proof for at least 4 years or more.

Is there an alternate enclosure for shuked WD drives, I am hoping to find a way to keep them a bit cooler as at the moment I can fry eggs on them.

Currently we have a Synology 216+II and we are using it for plex, music, backups, sync files, videos and photos between laptop/desktop computer, photoshop backup. I have been considering switching to another NAS for more bays of storage and cheaper drives. The current NAS can have issues if to many of these tasks are happening at the same time and playback of some unconverted files is difficult. I was also considering getting away from a ring doorbell and keeping the data in my own device. The 1621xs+ would be the most i would want to spend on one. I had considered the 1621+, 923+ and even qnap. I am more of a set it up and forget it type of person. What are your suggestions?

Having never looked at RAM for 2GB, 4GB before I had no idea it was so affordable. 

DDR4 non-ECC SO-DIMM 4 GB can be found for $20 or less! Begs the question why are the + Series models still shipping with 2GB!? 4GB would cost less than $5 extra. we could expand to the 8GB potential... but that's a rant we've all heard before. 

Now that I'm finally going to be able to pick up a DS223+ DS224+, for an extra $20 (CAN) it seems stupid not to buy the extra RAM. 

That said, information out there is confusing so I'm hoping to get some clarification.

1. does Mhz matter? 2400Mhz based on your YouTube or is 2666Mhz ok?
2. Installing 2GB vs 4GB vs 8GB+ (online users are report installing 8 and 16 cards)
3. Does an extra RAM card equal more heat or electrical. Assuming the same work load.

Hi All, 
I recently encountered an issue where my Synology Drive on my mobile phone is unable to sync to specific folders on my NAS.
The error message I get is attached. 
The problem is I don't recall setting anything to any folders that may block this.
Any advice is appreciated.

Hi. Followed your YouTube video about setting up plex to my nas. I used plex before I bought a nas using a wd passport to access film and music on other devices. Bought a nas and now want make it easier with a network. Followed your YouTube set up video but when Iv installed plex it then asked for my pin number then after that its saying not authorised. Didn't get to search for my nas or anything that happened in your video. Iv granted all the files permission so I'm really confused. Please help
