To mix HDD we need SHR/SHR-2 config is it    if using Raid-5/6/10 can we still mix HDD 

It seems that the USB is for monitoring only.

That's why I said "take that for what it's worth" about the sales person's advice. I don't absolutely believe what he said is right, as you should have been able to infer from my post.
If they had the P800T in stock, I would have bought one to test for myself, but I wasn't willing to spend RM499 to test with the higher end model. I still will try once I can get the UPS I want.

This is the problem, you believe it can work, but you don't know for sure. You're just guessing. It's an intelligent guess, but still a guess. At least WaNaWe900 has confirmed with his experience. That's one good data point from WaNaWe900.

The other reason I mentioned the name of the shop, and what exactly transpired, is also so that a person now doesn't have to go through the same experience I did. We still are unsure of which UPS to use, but we now know what going to All IT and asking will result in.

Said to look at enterprise level UPS models. 

 

So just got notification below 



Will run the S.M.A.R.T Extended Test tomorrow after the Expanding complete   

Should I be worried  :confused:  and proceed to Raid-6...?

Now in Raid-5    the 4th disk going to Raid-6

it's getting more already... will look into it after complete expanding, another 18% to go      yup just few months 

The battery is bigger than the UPS for my NAS. 

12V 65AH lead seal battery.

The real question though, why do you want your NAS running for 24 hours during a power outage?

Almost 10 days my NAS in degraded conditions    hopefully tomorrow the rma disk arrive and will be ok.

Just curios, should I just insert & populate the new disk or better create whole new volume 

After all I want to go with Raid-6    and now Raid-5

What actually is SSL Certificate    it seems expired or not match between Synology apps 

Oso received email to renew the certificate for the "mydomain.synology.me" 

This Integration Guide not really helpful to me 

Is this something that we need to renew every time ?

When I click renew in the Control Panel Security it download 2 files (server.csr & server.key) which do I need to use for what ya 

Expensive la.... Right now 2 TB SSD about RM 800 - RM 1000. 2 TB Ironwolf RM 300+. 4TB RM 500+. I would really like to try, but the cost... ugh! But I'm surprised that you feel HDD is laggy. I would think the data connection is the problem, not the speed of the HDD.

So I have dug out some old PCs, and now trying Open Media Vault. Wow, I'm blown away! Really responsive and fast! Reading up to see how the setup for OMV is, and also adding all the necessary software. Quite a steep learning curve, but OMV seems to be able to do everything a pre-built NAS can. I'll try to write up the experience when I can.

Hardware that I'm playing around with:
1. Intel D945GCLF mainboard, integrated Atom 230, 2 GB DDR2, 10/100 network. OMV installed on old 3.5" 80 GB HDD.
- Very low power consumption, (Atom TDP only 4W!) but the built in 10/100 limits speed to about 20+ MB/s file transfer over the network.
- Expansion is PCI slot, so no way of adding Giga network. Bummer.
- 10/100 network no buffering with 1080p 5.1 playback.

2. Gigabyte GA-A55M-DS2 mainboard, AMD A6-3500 3 core, 4 GB DDR3, built in Atheros 10/100/1000, OMV installed on 8 GB USB Flash drive. 2 different sized 2.5" HDD spanned together to make one bigger drive.
- Performs absolutely stellar as compared to my Synology DS212j. Snappy web interface, boots up fast, shutdown fast. Speedy.
- Network file copying at 100+ MB/s, to and from the NAS. Tested with 4 GB iso file. Slowest I see is when there are a lot of small files being copied.

3. Dell Vostro, i3 2120, 4 GB DDR3, built in Realtek 10/100/1000. Just started, but I think might be like #2 above.

So before you all say it, yes, I'm a cheapskate. Yes, I'm still using a DS212j from donkey's years ago. It still works fine for what I want it to do. And yes, I should get rid of some of the crap I have lying around. 

I must add the biggest con of using OMV that I'm facing right now - The information is out there for anything you want to do, but that information is all over the place. You end up reading on multiple forums, watching multiple videos on YT, reading and searching for everything. Very tedious and time consuming.

So better clean install or just upgrade, glad that Photos being taking care ; Packages - Synology Moments and Photo Station will be upgraded to and merged as Synology Photos.    is it 

It said my NAS won’t receive automatically upgrade and got to DL from the site.

Don’t care. Wait few month later than update.

Sian. Got to learn again.

And wonder is that a improvement or just shook shook change interface.

DSM 7 still not available for me... guess waiting next quarter 

My current set-up consists of 5 units of Synology old models for media consumption.

DS1010+ @ TV Series (1080P)
DS410J @ ANIME & CARTOON (720P below)
DS411J @ TV Series (720P below)
DS213J @ P0rn
DS411J @ TV Series (720P below)

Total for all? 40TB capacity.

All the above were bought used or given away by friends. If I have at least 20K cash then can really upgrade to a better Synology with at least 100TB or higher.

Yup saw that but well not in rush 
Huh... I think most filtered by my Router, worried if does slip-in thru to the NAS thou  as I enable QuickConnect & NTP/SMB 

No wonder I keep on get a the admin bla bla bla message every time log in.

I worry that message is a spyware.
