I have had a Synology for years: DS214 play.
There are a few issues and I'm not sure how to proceed. Any help would be great!
I am gettting a message that my Storage Pool 1 is degraded.
When I went into Storage Manager on the HDD/SDD tab I'm told that Drive 1 and Drive 2 are both "Healthy".
On the Volume tab, I am told Volume 1 is "degraded". And I only have one volume.
On the Oveview tab, it originally told me I had, 2 drives - but one of them was "not initiated".
I have since tried to follow instructions to initiate drive 2. I have done this BUT I notice Drive 1 has RAID 1 and Drive 2 has BASIC RAID type. Not sure what this means.
I want to have Drive 2 setup as mirror of Drive 1.
But Drive 1 has degraded Storage Pool.
Drive 2 looks healthy, but has 557 bad sectors.
Do I need to setup a volume on Drive 2/ Storage Pool 2. How?
Do I need to replace both drives due to being degraded/ bad sectors?
How do I mirror Drive 1 to Drive 2?
Any help would be great? Thanks

I already have a Synology DS920+running happily with 4 x 16TB Ironwolf pro HDD and 20GB RAM, but I want to make use of a pile of 4TB Ironwolf HDDs I have spare. Hopefully simple question: DX517+ expansion unit, or a separate NAS, such as another DS920 or a DS923?
Primarily backup and media serving to 2.5gbe network.

Hi, I'll be using this setup to stream my Plex movies, 98% of which are 1080p (so no 4K). It'll only be me who is streaming, no 3rd parties. I don't really care if it's an old model as long as it works fine. Can you advise something on this information?

Hobbyist photographer, built a collection of of photographs across several generations, wish to share with family members across the world. Time to upgrade from Synology DS215. Been waiting for 2023 models not sure that they offer hoped for solution. Will need to last a long time so need to get it right. More important to get it right than meet budget.

Which NAS to get?

Hey Nas Compadres. I am trying to authenticate my dropbox account with Hybrid Backup 3 but I continue to recieve the error " Authentication Error. Failed to connect to cloud server".

Some forums I have seen said to open QTS in HTTP instead of HTTPS. I have no idea how or if I did it correct but nothing seems to work. Would love to pay for an hour google meet session to try diagnosing this?

Good evening,

As I saw video comparing Synology 2 bay NASes, thing that bothering me is maximal capacity of discs. In video is 18/20TB max and my question is: 18/20TB per disc or for device at all. As I am considering buying NAS with wish of having mirored 2x16TB (32TB in total), or even 2x20TB (40TB in total), I would like to know if device going to handle this.

Thank You in advance,

Regards,

Lucas

I'm looking for a replacement to commercial cloud storage.

I live in the Caribbean and I run a small digital marketing/media agency where we do our own media work/editing.

I am interested in buying a NAS but I'm not sure if I should take that route, so I'll list my ideal workflow as well as limitations below and you can suggest the best options for my business:

Requests
- A storage system that offers redundancy
- To be able to edit videos directly from the storage
- Allow multiple persons to access the storage at the same time

Limitations
- Price: Because of where I live, things get expensive fast. With currency conversions, shipping costs & customs duty, it's easy to pay well over 3 times the initial price.
- Internet: Again due to location, my internet speed isn't always the best. At best right now I can receive 320mbps from my ISP. Can I use a NAS without it being limited by the internet speed my ISP provides (maybe through a LAN of some sort)?
Thanks

Hi Ed,

1. What 16gb ram kit do you recommend for the TS464?


2. What ram options beyond the current 16gb limit are available for the tS464?

(I realised you had some limited success with trying additional capacity - but if you verified it works it would be great if you could pass on the ram make and model)

Cheers,

Marko

Hello
We are a small business based in Cyprus. We have our data in Switzerland on a DiskStation DS414. The DS is located in a data centre. However, we want absolute data security.
We are looking for a document management system. This in turn needs docker, which does not run on the DS414.
Now we have seen here, Rent your Synology NAS in a data centre | Infomaniak, that you can rent Synology RackStation RS217.

My questions:
Is the RS RS217 better than the DS414 or rather worse?
Can the RS 217 docker?
Can the RS 217 do RAID 4?
Can a Windows machine be installed from the RS 217?
I want to be able to receive my data securely from anywhere in the world.
What would you recommend?
I would be happy to hear from you.
