after a lot of deliberation I finally settled on a TS-262 instead of a Synology. I am happy with it for the most part and can live with few of the downsides.
However this issue has been annoying me so much. I have a single 4TB HDD and the NAS seem to be constantly accessing the disk. It is not too loud but it is always in the background which gets on your nerve.
Given that I have a single HDD the system volume is on the HDD and I do use few apps like QCenter, QVPN etc. that are known to access the disk frequently. So I know why the disk is always active.
I need help with this part. I read that the system volume can be setup on a SSD, since the NAS is pretty new I can reset the NAS to make this happen. However will this prevent the HDD from being constantly active due to these applications thereby eliminating the constant noise?
p.s: The NAS is used mostly for media download/streaming and photo storage and used only by me
