.....HDD warnings usually happen when it's doing anti-virus scans or data scrubbing cos these processes run for a long time...

My DS418 no temperature issue during data scrubbing.

What is your HDD idle temperature? Brand/model of HDD?

They are 3x Seagate Barracuda 6TB ST6000DM001 in DS413J, idle / hibernating = 33-40 deg?

Will be migrating them to a 8-bay soon, but since I still have to keep the bay sequence, can't space them out with 1 slot gap in between :(

Good for you to migrate soon as DS413J is about 6 years old.
Suspect horizontal disk placement cause temperature to be higher for disk above lowest drive. Maybe set your NAS to cool mode during high prolonged activities to lower temperature.

for that price you will likely get

a WD Red @ 5400RPM that is highly not recommended for Synology + the warranty concern...

At your own risk - too many red flags.

Hi bro. WD Toa Payoh honored my WD warranty for a WD red purchased from Amazon US 2.5 years ago. Do they have a bad rep in Singapore for honoring warranty?

Another question. Suppose I get 4 pieces of 3TB HDD for my 413j at the moment. One day in the future of I want to upgrade to 4 pieces of 4TB HDD, is it possible to migrate all data to new 4X 4TB setup?


If you are on Synology hybrid raid (with one disk failure), the way I would do is to swap one disk at a time. This means that you start with 3+3+3+3. Swap to 4+3+3+3 and wait for resync. Swap to 4+4+3+3 and wait for another resync. Swap to 4+4+4+3 and wait for another resync. Swap to 4+4+4+4 and wait for another resync. It is actually painless since the data is still online and available through your the resync process which takes about 28hours for me (my data size is 1.7tb).

Hi Guys! I'm new to the club and I have some questions with regards to security accessing the NAS outside of LAN.

I know the easiest way is to use QuickConnect, however I read in a lot of places recommending to disable QuickConnect.

A lot of people recommend to VPN into the network.

I managed to setup the VPN server on my router and I was able to VPN in and connect to my LAN, including my NAS. However I spent a lot of time trying to do the VPN server on the NAS instead but I just can't get it to work.

So my question is taking security into consideration, and also wanting Synology apps to work, what will be the best way I should set this thing up?

I have problem, hope someone here or anyone here can help!

I was previously using 4x4tb HGST drives. one went critical on me. i bought a cheap toshiba drive(X300 4tb model) to replace.

Ever since my NAS (416play) never go into sleep mode. its perpectually running 24/7. Prior to the replacement, it only wake when i am accessing thru quickconnect synology apps or local LAN network access.

I have toggled the option under hardware & power, HDD hibernation but to no avail.

Any tips from anyone will be great! TIA!

need some help for my 2 bay which is on SHR mode.
few mths back disk 1 were found with 2 bad sectors and it started to increase more in recent weeks. Now there is 76 bad sectors, but Health status still "Normal".
Can I just change it or wait for "degraded" status?

Go and replace with same model HDD soonest. HDD from same batch may have their end of life near each other.

Thanks dude. I have tested as you mentioned. After a fresh install it works perfectly fine into hibernation(after 10 mins).

Once i installed synology moments(which has a few dependencies) it never hibernate anymore.

I've tried stopping moments doesnt help too. so i disable Synology Drive, also doesnt work. until i disable ""Synology Application Service" its working again.

Maybe your Plex uses this package service too? Sadly it was working last month.

Is it a must to get UPS for NAS?
I'm thinking of getting either a DS218+ 2bay or the 918+ 4bay and mostly using it as a private cloud and photo backup. Looking to use Moments or the new Photos functionality.

I probably wont access it often so I don't need it always online/active 24/7.
Can the Synology NAS go to sleep mode/powerdown and if so, any risk when there is a power trip? I will probably use the wake on lan function and scheduling for weekend use only.

Also any issues placing it in the DB box or bomb shelter (I have lan point there). My TV console is built like a seamless wall so there is the hidden storage can't fit the NAS or NAS + UPS there and rooms are a risk of people knocking it.

UPS is not a must for NAS.
My setup for DS418:
4x 2TB Toshiba 7200rpm HDD
Using Synology Hardware Schedule:
Power On Time (weekday): 7pm to 1am
Power On Time (weekend): 8am to 1am
Total Power On Hours: 64 Hours Per Week
Data scrubbing once a month.

Best to place NAS in open and stable place, else HDD will be hot if placed in display unit or enclosed cabinet.

Better to connect it to a UPS. I kept mine on 24/7. With Moments active, the NAS will not hibernate.

My entire NAS and networking equipment is on a rack in the bombshelter.
