As long as the void warranty sticker didn't crack. Or no sticker sticking around the casing. Should be no problem.

Your synology very hot?

I see mostly hardware side are not much different. I think the important is the software and the firmware side. That make the NAS interesting to use.

Synology keep improving the firmware and listen to customer suggest. Every few mth come out a new firmware for upgrade. The good is, even old model still can be upgrade with the latest firmware.

What is the purpose use for this sotong?

Must look at your player. Is it can play most of the .avi file. avi have many codec that some player not support. But mostly is xvid or divx codec.

Or streaming speed?

As long as the programmer listen to what people like us need, he is a good programmer.

My next synology NAS project is to upgrade the HDD and add in a UPS.

Few time trip during lightning. Lucky no problem with HDD. Not going to take the risk further. Order an APC UPS which can communicate with the NAS.

Upgrade the current 1pcs HDD 750gb to 4pcs samsung HDD 2TB and raid it.

All parts arrived. But no time do.

My NAS ram upgrade currently postpone. Can't find the ram locally.

I m looking for this specific kingston ram --> KVR667D2SO/1GR. Only this ram will work on my synology 409+.

APC ups 650VA rm340.

I need a reliable minimum failure to backup my photo, video and important file. And at the same time can access my file easlly anywhere. Torrent too.

So got to choose 409+ instead 209+. 4HDD is more reliable than 2HDD. Beside I get cheaper and almost same price as 209+.

US ebay lah. But courier charge you have to think yourself.

I brought it after christmas last yrs. US ebay have free delivery between their own state. (not all item) So free delivery to my relative in US. Than bought back by my mother. Cheap NAS + free courier charge = cheap cheap NAS.

Added on June 23, 2010, 9:06 amYes. I intend to run it on raid5. 1HDD fail, swap it and generate back the data.

2HDD still ok. But I cannot expand the HDD space. Max is only 2TB with raid 1. (depend on HDD size)

With 4HDD, I can get 6TB with raid 5. Can last me 3-4yrs before fill up.

To increase the reliable, I brought the samsung slow 5400rpm HDD. Hope less failure per price ratio.

For your infor, don't get the WD green HDD if you raid it. Either you get the WD raid HDD which 2x more expensive.

1) All synology model can do all this DL. Not just 409+. The firmware is same for all the model. Just some function enable and disable for certain model. But I don't have experience using rapishare and others direct DL. I m using torrent.

2) All HDD must be same size. In my case is 2TB HDD x 4pcs in raid 5= 6TB + 1 HDD for fault tolerance. (Actual usable size is 5.44TB) Not neccessary same model and brand. But advise make it same. You can mix HDD size and use "synology std raid" to raid it. This advantage is for you to replace the HDD 1 by 1 without hurt your wallet. And still can max out the HDD size.



* Yesterday start upgrade my 409+ to 4 HDD, format to raid 5 and connect to new APC UPS. Still formating till now. Already more than 14hr. Damn slow. UPS running find which show correct ups model and remain 1875sec. Or 30min backup time.

Now don't no how to migrate the data to new HDD.

Pws,

All the direct dl require buy the account? Or using free user to dl?

You can try synology with 4 or 5 HDD model and expandable. You need to plan carefully in order to safe guard your data and future.

My office is using Synology ds107+ for data keep. My singapore branch office is using synology too.

Wah, bro pWs, you very rich. Got all the direct DL premium account.

Hei, have you notice that the synology have a wifi setup to your wifi modem router? I just found out when install new firmware to my NAS and read the new manual.

You need to stuck a wifi doggle to the NAS usb port and configure it. Your wifi router should be able to detect it.

Now you can place your NAS anywhere without network cable. I wonder how fast the speed will be.

Sorry, I didn't check. You got to go to the website and check the wifi doggle compactible.

I have 1 ovislink wifi doggle. But did't try to set it up. Cause I think the speed won't be that fast. Unless go for N type.

Thanks for your help.

I manage to transfer the file from old HDD to the new HDD by try and error. Lucky the file is still there inside the old HDD when make some mistake. Take me alot of time and till now still haven't finish migrate.

I don't have experience in linux with their file type like EXT2/EXT3. So panic me when I can't see my HDD in win xp while connect as externer. After learn some linux EXT format and dl the software to read it, manage to takeout the file and transfer to new HDD.

But I feel the web base file transfering speed is a bit slow beside the file size limitation. I use FTP client to transfer which more faster speed. Or map the drive and use explore drag and drop. Which too is fast compare web page interface. I use web page transfering when I far away from the NAS.

My migrating is less problem and faster if I have an extra HDD to transfer all the file from the old HDD. Which I can transfer back to synology NAS after upgrading. But I don't have an extra HDD. The synology file system is ext3 raid type which make me difficult a bit since I only know windows base.

To transfer back the file, I need to convert the partition into image file and store into the NAS. The image file is over 700GB which I don't have an extra HDD to store it. That converting and transfering take full 24hr. Than next I need to mount the image disk and open the file to extract it out one by one into the NAS. That is why it take so long time.

Hi denhock. WTA,
