Not IT support but myself got good knowledge in computer. DS220+ for the bare minimum 2 bays. 2 cores 2 threads. If next time want faster processing or more bays, have to buy new NAS. DS720+ also 2 bays but better CPU, 4 cores 4 threads. If want additional bays can buy expansion bay (1.5k for 4 bays). DS920+ same CPU with DS720+ but additional 2 bays. Also can add expansion bay. DS1522+ the latest. 5 bays. Better CPU Don't look for J series, that one CPU too weak and limited compatibility with many apps WaNaWe900 liked this post

Already come with 4GB RAM, no need to upgrade since your usage is light.

NAS usage HDD from Seagate / Toshiba / WD or even Synology brand HDD Seagate and WD have normal NAS HDD & Pro NAS HDD. Beware of SMR type HDD. So far that I know only WD put SMR HDD on NAS lineup. You should also check which type of RAID you want to use for protection of your current data. RAID 1/5/6/10 Each have their advantage and disadvantage. Also remember that RAID is not backup.

It comes down as low as 140v and goes up back to 220v (still low). It detects by my UPS which keeps on switching to the backup battery and normal mode. But I thought it was the UPS or battery got problem. The irregular voltage also detects by the flurosent light and the fan speed. Switch off the UPS and the NAS. ON back later the UPS but immediately smoke coming out. My UPS gone. The NAS remain OFF for few more days as I order a new UPS. TNB solves the voltage problem later on. After getting a new UPS and connecting back everything, the NAS cannot be ON. So I change the battery in the NAS. Same problem. This time suspects the PS problem. Order a new PS and install it back. NAS can power ON again. Then check inside the data. HDD has an error. The Backup folder is missing. (which is important) So repair the HDD and back to normal. Check upon check, the backup folder when into encryption. Which I didn't have or set into encryption anything. Lucky I able to use password to unlock it. (don't no where the heck password come from) 1 hell of the problem solve by the TNB problem. The thing I cannot understand is, the NAS PS rating at 110v -240v, but spoil also. The NAS power OFF as normal. (not immediately power gone) But effect data inside change. (Maybe because of battery change?) Another lesson learn from this, get a UPS that has an Auto voltage regulator. To prevent such problems. I m using APC Pro 650 now. Old UPS smoke Check the PS New UPS I thought most UPS have AVR? Maybe the UPS component inside already deteriorate and can't properly regulate voltage. Maybe when you turn back ON the UPS, it send spike of current to NAS and kill the PSU. Last time my UPS also suddenly died, luckily didn't cause any damage to NAS. The UPS turn off by itself and can't be turned on anymore. I guess lucky also can't turn on otherwise might send spike to my NAS. Another lesson is before test ON the UPS, unplug everything first. How you repair the HDD to get back the backup folder? Possible you have set encryption to the folder before and forgotten about it? Encrypted folder need to enter the password to mount it every time NAS restart. It also won't show up in File Station until after mount.

The UPS is over 12yrs old. The new UPS has AVR that can adjust 3 type of voltage sensitivity. But I think the range is still too wide. The UPS has surge protector built in. And additional surge protector at the wall socket before UPS. So I don't think it is a surge. I have experienced a lightning surge through the network cable which spoils my NAS. The NAS cannot be repaired and I give to a member here. Actually, I don't know there is an encryption future in the NAS. Till I experience the folder lock. And I don't have the password either. I tried all my passwords that I know but fail to unlock them. Last just try my luck with 1-8 passwords. And it unlocks! Yesterday suddenly another problem came out. Fan 2 has a beep fault. But the fan is running fine. I need to further test it later by swap the fan. Additional the NAS is protected by 2set of network surge protector. I mean is not surge from wall power, but the UPS already have problem and when you turn ON that time it send spike to the NAS. I also encounter few times before my PC PSU dead because lighting surge. I don't think the PSU will suddenly died unless already got some problem. It will be strange if the NAS set password on the shared folder by itself. And only 1 folder which have the important files, and not all folders? Now in control panel > shared folder, it show the lock icon on that folder while other folders don't have lock icon? Fan also issue or maybe board issue. If really spike board also maybe got damage.

Usually after 3 or 4 weeks only it prompt me there's new update. A lot of fix issue and vulnerabilities. https://www.synology.com/en-us/releaseNote/...%2B#ver_42962-2 Anyway, if you use Outlook for sending email for system notification, better to sign in again as it now uses OAuth 2.0, which is a safer authentication method.

If heavy usage, a lot of read and write everyday, consider getting enterprise model such as Ironwolf Pro. HDD size, if count by TB per RM, actually almost same price. It's better to get higher capacity so that still have empty bays for future need. Example get 8TB x 2 instead of 4TB x 4.This of course means higher chance for 8TB HDD to die first than 4TB due to more usage per drive and higher cost to replace drive. Really it depends on your requirements and storage needs. WaNaWe900 liked this post

Between Seagate Ironwolf and WD Red, read that Ironwolf is really noisy ? The Synology will be in the same office as me, so the quieter the better Synology branded HDD can consider as enterprise HDD since longer warranty, also more expensive. I got Ironwolf, didn't notice more noisy. WD Red Plus ok to get, it's CMR type. WD Red that is not Plus or Pro better avoid, it's SMR type.
