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)!

I'm running

  • a DS923+ (36 GB RAM, 2x 4 GB WD Red Plus (CMR)) in a SHR + IronWolf 4 TB (hot spare) as my main NAS and
  • a DS218+ (12 GB RAM, 1x Seagate Ironwolf 3 GB, 1x WD Red Plus 2 GB (CMR) in a RAID-0) as my backup machine (in a remote location).

I have a 115j lying around which still works, but I have no use for it any longer (it was my backup machine before I bought the 923+). I might try to sell it, but I'm not sure someone would want it (although as a simple private cloud (i.e. just Synology Drive) it works okay, I guess).

I run some services (Gitea, Planka, Portainer, airsonic, Penpot, Stirling PDF, Homebox, Benotes, speed tracker) and want to get either Plane or Leantime for project planning (as Jira replacement). I'm also still trying to get Wallabag to run and want to take a closer look at Omnivore and Joplin, as I'm still looking for a good read-it-later solution.
