If i wanna add an additional HDD to the current NAS which only have 3 HDD on a DS412+, is it possible w/o losing data?

Another scenario, if i have 2 x 2TB and 2 x 1TB on my DS412+ and i wanna upgrade the 2 x 1TB to 2 x 3TB is it a straight forward upgrade?

Best joke of the day.

Synology naming rules, first set of numbers represent the max number of bays, the second set is the year it's launched.

It's a 2012 model but was launched back in end 2011.

Google

didn't realize 10 years ago got USB 3.0
Through this experience you can know that Ace Promoters are more of a hit and run type...

The D-Link uses the standard linux raid manager (mdadm) for its RAID. The last time round, i manually rebuilt the RAID5 setup for data extraction (DNS-343 failed back then). I did not try for other RAID levels like 0 and 1 though.

Tks, shadowandy. That sounds quite difficult, but I can give it a go. I've already connected one of the RAID1 disks into my PC (recognised in BIOS and windows disk manager-but not in explorer as a drive), so I guess I need to have linux running and run the utility from there. Is there a guide you can recommend to me that can help me get going please?

Never trust promoters at these fairs as they are mostly part timers. If really want to know more, speak to the regular staff. Usually can ident them as they are the ones promoters run to for help, which is quite often at fairs. :)

The folders for audio, video and photo scanning are set thru the media indexing service found on the last row of the control panel...

Was thinking of getting My Book Duo Live but after reading this thread feel like getting ds213j with 2 x 3TB WD Red instead ;p

Problem is I'll have to get down with some manual installation & formatting work with synology.
I have a mixture of Win & OSX at home.
Which file system should I use to format the hdd?

The file system is transparent to end users. It will work with your windows and osx. I have a mixture of os at home too.

You should be more concern about the type of raid to setup - classic raid 0/1/5/etc or SHR (Synology Hybrid Raid) or JBOD.

Kena poisoned by a fellow hwz Synology user.
Went down COMEX and bought the DS213J just now

Setup was a breeze.
Uploaded a few videos and tested the DS video app on my iphone.

When I access with my apps from android. It says "Connection failed. Please login and try again". I don't know what is wrong. :(

New member to Synology goodness!

New member to Synology! :D Bought a DS213 Air.

I'm quite new to NAS technology, so pardon my Noob-ness

I have some questions how any bros/sisters could help!

I was wondering, should I schedule a shut down say during the wee hours (as there wont be anyone using it) of the night and Wake on LAN when needed?

And if I were to use a 3 year old Netbook as XBMC, I notice videos of 1080p quality will be "lag". Is it because of the Netbook rendering/buffering the video (netbook is connected via Wireless LAN) ?

The sales person told me that if I were to upgrade my NAS storage, I have to purchase the same brand and capacity, is that true?
