I got an synology ds1812+ today, started off with 5 seagate 3tb on SHR and upgraded another 2GB ram. Being a first time user, I wasn't realise that the package come with the installation disc is DSM 4.0. How do I upgrade from DSM 4.0 to DSM 4.1.
I have installed DSM 4.0 on one of the LAN interface. Can I still install DSM 4.1 on the remaining LAN?
Edit: I found the answer -> control panel -> DSM setting/update

Those Seagate Barracuda are ST3000DM001, listed in Synology HDD list. It's compatible with 4TB, but 4TB cost a lot $$$ more. Performance wise it is more like of those normal Synology.
Personally I find the user interface in DSM is handy and easy to use. I haven't tried to run benchmark yet as I am overseas this week. I use it mainly to mount ISO for media sharing over DNLA.
I was contemplating over the price for some time as well, I bought it finally as it would cost about the same of an MBA from apple. Then I said why not.

Hi Guys,
I need some advice. Currently my NAS is getting >106MB/s sustained read/write speed . What is the practical way to get link aggregation for a better speed. I would need extra 2 NICs and a managed switch for setup. What would be the recommend equipment for setup?

QUOTE(mintgadget @ Nov 19 2012, 07:12 PM) Pointless to get LAG for 1 pc, cannot see the performance also you need a 802.3ad switch, good luck finding it here, i have hunt high and low at lowyat for it still no luck. It only benefits when there is more than 1 computer drawing from it. Hit up Synology forums, plenty of resource there. Seems like TP LInk 3210 is a good choice for startup. I could source from newegg. I am running the NAS for devices at home: HTPC, BD player, PC, laptops, iPad and iPhone and security monitoring and media streaming. I have checked synology forum, seems like it's dying just there. The Wikipedia on synology seems useful to some extent. On another note, I am selling off my used HDD (around 15pcs of them, ranging from 1.5TB to 2TB)) http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=2595991This post has been edited by ronaldjoe: Nov 19 2012, 11:51 PM |

QUOTE(wildwestgoh @ Nov 20 2012, 09:07 AM) Curious to know what's your NAS setup, is it a Synology or other branded NAS? Or a PC NAS? I don't see anything that would require that much speed (>106MB/s), and especially at home, only few devices that I see benefit from your requirement, media streaming and HTPC. If all your devices is getting or putting data into that single NAS at the same time, doubt even the HDD can sustain such intense IO, not to talk about the speed, yet. It's a DS1812. I posted some info on it in earlier post. I m looking for higher speed as my data in nas is about 15TB. Higher speeds yields more efficiency and reduce bottlenecks. I intended for higher speed as my devices are all SSD'ed and the NAS is capable of doing 200MB/s. I am giving it a thought on setting up a duplex gigabit connections for 200MB/s speed for certain connection point to make full benefit of it.

Expanding final 3TB disk in DS1812+, it would take approx 2 days for expansion and parity check. I am very happy with the purchase so far.

QUOTE(pr0pofol @ Apr 7 2013, 10:11 AM) guys i hope somebody could help me with this problem: i have a desktop pc with 4 hard drives full of data now the pc gone kaput and since i have a macbook now i don't need to use it anymore i'm planning to get a NAS so that i can use all the hard drives that i have wirelessly with my macbook if i insert those hard drives into the NAS, can i still use the data (the hard drives are formatted as NTFS using windows 7 that is my previous desktop setup) or will it be formatted and become a newly erased HDD? You can go for Synology. One setup could a bit pricey. Easy maintenance and seamless multi platform sharing (painless) upgrade. I believe it will fit you as you have the budget for a Mac as well. I see your avatar...beh tahan  hahaha This post has been edited by ronaldjoe: Apr 13 2013, 07:33 AM Attached thumbnail(s)
