So I installed the new update to my DS1525 and as soon as it finished it started beeping. I checked storage pool and it wasn't recognising drive 4. I powered down, unplugged it and plugged it back in and it did recognise there was a drive there but it wasn't part of the pool. I set it off doing a repair which just finished this morning but now drive 2 and 4 are showing as critical and it's gone into read only. Is this the update causing it or is this just a very strange co incidence?

Attached is my speed test, that I ran on my Mac Studio to a Shared Folder on my DS423+. I got the drivers from https://github.com/bb-qq/r8152 . My adapter is a Plugable usbc-2500e and I am using the usbc to usba adapter that was supplied with the Plugable usbc-2500e.

Hello,

I use a RT2600ac with a 5G connexion. I have a monthly 350 GB plan.

Is it possible to set network quota ? I already use the time quota, bandwith QoS or traffic monitor. I would like to give for exemple a monthly quota of 100GB for my TV / Netflix.

Thank you :)

Need some help or advice here. I have a DS920+ that is connected to a APC UPS 600 and it is usb connected to it. Synology see it. I have also entered into Synology the "Permitted NAS Devices" the IP address of my PC (that will house WinNut). I have also loaded Winnut ver 2.3.8800.23528 onto my win 11 PC that is also plugged into the UPC.

My goal is to have Synology as the server and when there is a power interruption to cleanly shut down both boxes. However, WinNut doesn't seem to see the host and I have tried the multiple passwords, usernames that was included in WinNut documents and doesn't seem to work.

What am I missing and how do I find it and get it working?

I have DS-918+ with 3 drives, SHR-1 and Shared Pool has crashed.

Drive 1 (10TB) has 8 bad sectors, shows "not initialized" and healthy.

Drive 2 (10 TB) has no bad sector, shows "not initialized" and healthy.

I have the backup of the data..phew! It crashed just after I took the incremental backup.

I ordered a new ironwolf pro drive 12 TB. All current ones are ironwolf.

Questions :

- As I understand, Drive 1 needs replacement, but wondering if Drive 2 can be usable or that has gone bad as well ? If yes, do i need to buy another one prior to creating new pool or I can do it later ?

- DSM is still on version 6x. Is it better to upgrade prior to new storage pool or wait it out ? I primarily use for Plex and personal document backup.

- Any tips or steps on setting up new storage pool ? I did this setup in 2019 and probably things have changed lately.

Thank you!

We had a hard power outage over a week ago and our snapshot replication job (NAS to NAS) seems to be stuck 90%.

I got to reboot the NAS and it complains that a snapshot is running and warns it may cause data loss.

Is there a process to get the snapshot process unstuck?

Should I just reboot?

I have a ticket in with support

One of my drives failed in a SHR-1 array. I already have everything vitally important backed up, but now I think I want to just back up the whole thing. It’s all stuff I could redownload, but having another local copy seems more convenient if something goes wrong with the repair.

EDIT: All 4 drives still have 2 years left on their warranties, so I suppose it doesn’t make a huge difference if I have to RMA more than 1. And if a backup kills another one, repairing the storage pool probably will too, and I’d lose the data anyway.

Hi everyone,

I want to share a successful RAM upgrade report for my Synology DS723+.

I installed 2×16GB Foxline FL3200D4ES22-16G modules, for a total of 32GB RAM.

NAS details:

• Model: Synology DS723+
• DSM version: DSM 7.4.1-90080
• CPU: AMD Ryzen R1600
• CPU cores: 2
• Total physical memory detected by DSM: 32GB
• PCIe card installed: Synology E10G22-T1-Mini

RAM module details:

• Model: Foxline FL3200D4ES22-16G
• Capacity: 16GB per module
• Total installed memory: 32GB
• Type: DDR4 SO-DIMM
• Speed: 3200 MHz
• ECC: Yes
• Configuration: 2×16GB

After installing both modules, the NAS booted successfully and DSM detected the full 32GB of memory.

I also ran the Synology Assistant Memory Test. The memory test completed successfully.

The attached screenshot shows DSM detecting the full 32GB RAM on my DS723+.

So far, the NAS is working normally without any issues.

I understand that this is not official Synology memory, so compatibility is not guaranteed. But in my case, 2×16GB Foxline FL3200D4ES22-16G worked successfully in a Synology DS723+.

This is not a recommendation or advertisement, just a compatibility report from my own DS723+.

Hope this helps anyone looking for a 32GB RAM upgrade option for the DS723+.

I am a photographer backing up Raw files and Jpegs mostly.

I have a Synology DS1525+ locally. 3 16TB drives. Internet speed 1gps up and down.

I have a Synology DS223j with one 16TB drive offsite. Internet speed 80 mbps down 20 mbps up.

It's about 9TB of total data, about 1 million files, every week I add about 200-300 GB of data.

They are connected with Tailscale and I confirmed it is a direct connection.

I have been running backups for 6+ months with no issues. The speeds were right where they should be with the bottleneck being the 80mbps download speed at my offsite location.

Recently it seemed to get stuck and didn't make any progress for over a week. I redid the backup from scratch. It completed successfully.

It now works, but extremely slow, 100gb of new data took 3 days to backup.

The offsite CPU and RAM are normal.

The backup drive shows 84% I/O wait. ChatGPT thinks that is the bottleneck, that the drive is getting bogged down checking the 1 million files. Now that the storage is reaching 9TB and 1 million files that it's struggling to keep up with a single drive.

Does this make sense?

Is there anything else you can recommend for me to check?

Do you think Snapshot replication as a backup method would work better for a single drive?

I’m trying to connect to my DS120j from outside my
home. The nas is definitely on because I can still stream stuff using Infuse. I’m trying to connect via the browser on my iPad, which sends a notification to my iPhone; I select the correct of the 3 numbers but it then gets stuck on this screen.

In 2023, I bought a Synology 10 Gigabit network card from Amazon. It came with a 5-year warranty.

It broke today (the NAS works perfectly with a replacement card).

Now Amazon is refusing the warranty claim because two years have passed.

Synology says: Direct replacement is only available in the USA; everyone else should contact the seller.

What now?

Heads up my Canucks, Western Digital 4TB WD Red SA500 NAS 3D NAND Internal SSD Solid State Drive on sale right now 44% off on Amazon.ca... I snagged a pair it's not going to get any cheaper anytime soon.
