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)!

Running two here.

  • DS1019+ (2x Ironwolf Pro 12TB, 3x Ironwolf Pro 16TB, SSD cache, 16gb RAM)
  • DS1821+ (4x Ironwolf Pro 16TB, 1x WD 14TB, 1x Ironwolf Pro 12TB. SSD Cache, 32gb RAM, 10GbE.)

I've got a Minecraft server on each, 25ish docker containers on the 1821, and 5 on the 1019+.

The 1019+ now mostly just runs Plex and acts as a happy little hyperbackup vault for the 1821+, which has all my actual data on it.

Local PC's also back up to the 1019+ via Active Backup.

I started with the 1019+ and 2x 12tb drives to replace my Windows Home Server (yeah, an HP media smart from 2007) that had 4 drives in it with 12 years powered on time each. (WD greens believe it or not!)

Those little dudes went to Valhalla on the tip of a drill bit and EARNED it.
