Synology Drive 4.0

DS 923+ with latest official OS

I redid my media folders on my PC which are synced to my DS 923 via Synology Drive and I noticed that a lot of media was "Unsynced due to invalid filename"

So I renamed a lot of those folders but it still won't sync those folders and I'm sure I'm under the 256 file path limit. I'm having trouble finding which media hasn't been synced so I was thinking of deleting all media on my DS and uploading it manually into the same folder structure. But I'm not sure that will help.

I looked at the link to the knowledge center for Synology drive and the file path is the only thing I can think of. I don't have any special characters besides parentheses.

I'm also getting errors in Windows when unzipping some of the media I've downloaded straight from my DS for saying file path is too long, but I enabled it in Windows settings and in Policy Editor.

Any ideas? Thank you

say I run this combo in a mirror. From what I understand, the performance will follow the common denominator, thereby not realizing performance gain from the 7200rpm.

Does the 7200rpm drive then runs at 5400rpm or continues to spin at 7200?

I need a simplified understanding and easy instructions of how to download and then open zip files that are already in my synology file folder. I uploaded them when transferring away from my other cloud services and now I realize I'm not easily seeing a way to open the files once it is downloaded. When I download the folders, the folder file name is "Unconfirmed 9283482.crdownload" and I'm unable to open it and read the files. However, when I double click the file in the file folder, I can view the files. I hope I didn't permanently damage those files?

Hi All. DS1520 with four 4TB drives in slots 1-4. Purchased a new 4TB and temporarily letting it run in slot 5 as a hot standby and was planning to remove. Connected a WD external USB drive for backup and both slots 4 and 5 failed. Perhaps the NAS power supply? Please suggest ideas. Tnx

I have a DS920+ which is a 4 drive capacity. I'm currently at capacity with two 14TB drives and two 20TB drives. I'd like to replace the two 14TB drives with two 24TB drives. They are operating on a RAID 1 with data protection. Is there a way to remove the two 14TB drives while maintaining the existing data on those drives and starting anew with with two 24TB (empty/formatted) drives? Still learning and can't risk my data, so thanks in advance for the advice.

Edit: My goal is to completely remove the two 14TB drives with the data intact and add the two empty 24TB drives to start fresh; no data. Current RAID type is Raid 1 (With data protection)

I have two storage pools: First pool is 2x 14TB drives (RAID 1) and second 2x 20TB drives (RAID 1).

…install on your Synology or a mini pc? For either, do you have a good walkthrough tutorial?

How does computer hardware know when you are about to leave for a week and chooses the night before to die? Every major failure...just why.

Anyway, glad I had the ps from my prior box to carry me for the week. For those that purchased a replacement power supply, did you buy from synology directly along with their outrageous shipping fees or did you purchase elsewhere? I'm in the market...

Why in the f*ck hasn’t synology updated their photos mobile app.

It would be nice to have smaller thumbnails when holding phone vertical instead of two thumbnails per row.

Holding horizontal gives you more but still not good enough.

Stone age nonsense

Hello,

Checking what would a DS1522+ with warranty till 06/21/2029 will go for now a days. Still has the original box. Has the drives 2TB, 2TB, 8TB, 10TB, 10TB currently and two 1TB M2 SSD for cache.

if the price is good, I am planning to sell otherwise keep it.

I just want to say that after many years of struggling with a single bay, no upgradable ram Synology devices I finally feel so happy about my functionality with my 225+.

All the things I used to be so frustrated by, the startup times, updating packages, doing anything on my previous two synology devices are completely removed with a faster model. I am putting this out there because if I had known what a different it would make I never would have invested in the smaller models.

For those of you that are like me, and all would want to do is stream content local network (and remotely) with fast ease of use, I can say for sure you want to own a Synology device with upgradeable RAM and dedicated acceleration.

This might be a long shot but I have an old 413j from 2013, machine has finally died but all 4 drives seem to be ok. Can I just attempt to straight up migrate the drives to a new 423? Anything special I need to consider besides the usual instructions of swapping to the same bays and then letting the software do the work? Thank you!

do you have ur nas just go in standby or do you have it power off when in standby?

I recently got a new DS925+ , upgrading from my existing DS218+. I got 2 x 8TB HDD for my storage (upgraded from 2x 4TB).

I am debating what to do with open 2 bays and with nvme slots.

I mostly use the synology for photo backup and movies and documents. I plan to run Jellyfin on a Mac Mini M2 because of transcoding. I’m still using synology photos but have started to use immich also running on Mac Mini.

Questions I’m looking for some feedback is

1. should I use the nvme for read only cache? If so how much cache should I setup? I have read that after a certain point there are diminishing returns. Also I plan to use non synology ssd.

2. should I create an ssd volume just for app installation? If so should I do that on the m2 drives or use 2 x sata ssd for this volume. Same question what would be a good volume size for apps.

3. for my use case do I need any of these options is it just over kill?

4. how would an ssd volume impact Drive and the “homes” folder structure?

Before someone says it , I plan to stay with synology I have no interest in moving to another brand. Reliability and DSM are my reasons for staying with Synology.

It's a 4-bay box with 4 10TB disks. I logged in via the web browser & went to System Reset a couple of days ago. I have the window saying DiskStation is restarting, after it resets blah blah blah.

The amber light is flashing, all the disk lights are steady green, & I can hear the clicking of activity. Is taking this long normal?

If not, how do I get out of this?

I need someone to explain to me in simple words, why opening any ports is bad idea whereas I always have ports like 80, 32400 or 443 open anyway? Why an attacker cannot use those always open ports instead of others? I apologise if my question seems stupid, but all the answers I received are just - keep ports closed, you dumb arse :-)
