Synology

This is a place for all topics regarding Synology hard- and software - especially (but not limited to) their NAS devices.

Just one thing: Let’s please be pleasant to each other and respect that people have different experience levels. Some are pros, some are noobs, yet everybody may have good ideas or interesting questions to ask and comments to make, and all of these shall be heard and appreciated. ❤️

And since we know from TV that all IT nerds 🤓 are h4xx0rs and wear hoodies all the time (if not even ski masks) in front of their computers, I chose an appropriate banner image (image credit).

As this community is just starting, I thought learning more about each other's setups would be interesting.

I'll go first:

DS916
4x8TB Hard Drives: 3 WD Reds, 1 Seagate Ironwolf (oldest drive is 53,150 hours or just over 6 years)

I haven't had to replace anything yet (knock on wood)!

Synology's

DS2419+ (105TB of usable space, 80tb in use, 12 drives, mix of 8tb to 14tb drives, 32gb ram)
DS1821+ (90TB of usable space, 60tb in use, 2 10tb, 4 16tb drives, 32gb ram)
DS620slim (4.5TB usable space, 2TB in use, 6 1TB SSD's, 16gb ram)

They all have been running 24/7 since I purchased them. In the last 4 years I've only had five drives go bad bad, but I've done quite a few replacements for upgrades. I had filled the 12 bay with a mix of 2TB and 4TB drives when I first got it in 2019. I have a container of 18 HDD's of various sizes that I wish I had a use for.

Hooooy .., you are really determined and serious about disk space, huh? 🤣 That's impressive! (And expensive, I guess.) I only have about 4 TB usable space (2x 4 TB in a SHR plus hot spare plus backup disks as a RAID-0), which is plenty for what I use it for at the moment.

Ha, yeah, I've been burned a few times by not having backups. Aside from backups, the majority is backups of my DVD / Blu-ray collection. When I was single in most of the 2000's I was at best buy every Tuesday, buying the latest shows and movies to come out on disc 😂
