Hi! thanks for your video, What do you think could be the reason for my storage pool, formed by 5 hard drives (3 of 4TB, one of 12TB, and another of 16TB), which has a capacity of 21.8TB, not expanding beyond 11.5TB, which was the capacity before replacing a 2TB drive with the 16TB drive? This is on a Synology 1821+

Thanks bro :)

so in order to use the wifi man desktop ui for the portable handheld unit I need to have a large additional piece of ubiquity hardware?

No zoom video 😢

Do you need to use it with ubiquiti?

The iPad version of wifiman (that can run on MacOS) is so much better. I don't see a point in using the desktop version since they didn't even include one the of the main reasons wifiman was created in the first place, which is the speed test and signal diagnostics which the iPad version has.

THANK YOU!!!!!

Hi, I have a DS920+ no raid with 4 6TB drives. One is almost full and I have a larger drive to upgrade to. How can i replace the one drive with the new larger drive? I don't see the replace option, I was thinking to use and just remove one of the other drives to do it then put it back. I'm also thinking i should have done aome form of RAID, yet I liked being able to keep certain drives for certain purposes and keep maximum HD capacity. This may have made this process easier... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

bad song

Just a question. Although I have my Synology for less then a year (DS1522+) populated with 5 times 12tb seagate ironwolf drives, when I want to upgrade to 5 times 16 e.g., I can do that by doing this proces too? But then 5 times?

Was xfer speeds faster?

Thank you.

If this video is helpful let me know!

If this is helpful, please share it.

thanks

I get the concept, and want to do this, but some more information would be great. How is yhe contact happening? Physically pushing two wires together, or the moving mechanism is metal and conducts between two wires? What sensor specifally are you using?

Do you use Wifiman? What do you think?

I have one questions, when you rebuild the drive for 24 hours, can you shut down the beeping noise?

I used 3 strips together tightly…tougher than butter😏

As a chia farmer myself the route I went, is buying hard drive bays that could plug into a USB dock or to the usb on the pc. Especially if you have your own PC already that’s decently or in general capable of plotting I recommend just getting tons of drive docs like a five bay doc from like Orico. And for me, especially I have mining waves which are capable of plotting so therefore I just plugged into those. Works perfectly fine and haven’t give me a problem 😊👍

Quick, Easy, Simple! It was a little different on my Mac but I figured it out, thanks to you!

What would be the method if there are not free bays? If you just want to change the drive to a bigger one? And of course you want to copy somehow the content of the previous drive?

Please do a video on the full gaming pc build. I have about 16 B460 and B550 motherboards with 14 x 5900x cpus. I have 60 gpus to run mining dynex or whatever, plus infigure, why not max each board with chia as well...

This song is so gay.

Thank you! most helpfull video I've seen on this!

very simple and straight to the point. Great job!!

I have Synology NAS and I want to replace all disks with new ones. What is the best way to do it?

i have some UNC error codes on my Drive 4. I bought a new bigger driver. I use Synology SHR on my DS214play. All 4 bays are used. Do I need to update the drive 4 that has an error or can I just replace it without data lost ?

What do you think of this camera? I'm going to try it out soon and I'll let you know what I think. 🎉

I'm excited to try this camera out and let you know what I think. Stay tuned..🎉

Can't wait to try this camera out and let you know when I think. 😊

Straight forward and easy to understand, many thx

Do I need to put it into my computer or can I just use a ss card reader

Hey so moved into a new house and the owner had these cameras setup around the house. I do I set them up under our cameras ?

What about 128gb micro Sd cards? There is no option for Fat32, I need Fat32

As a former UNIX Admin, DBA, programmer, and ultimately CIO, I really appreciate your video. It gives a great deal of comfort to see someone pull a hot drive out of a NAS. The time estimates were incredibly valuable to curb any sense of "why is it taking so long". Well done Bunkies!

I dont know if anyone here can help me but mine powers off if I plug it in on my pc but not on my laptop

Have an 1812+ with (3) 3TBs and (3) 4TBs - all WD Red CMR, using SHR. Replaced one of the 3’s with a new 4TB. Went through the parity consistency for 24 hours + … and is now doing it again. At it’s current speed… looks to be another 24 hours. Did I miss something?

NO WAY TYSM IVE BEEN STUCK ON IT FOR LIKE 30 MINUTES YOU MADE IT SO EASY 😧

Ummmm I read lots of article and papers. Even that, I am still no idea. I want to keep the data of the nas at a hdd, at then replace with a new, blank hdd.The data is Not needed to keep at nas. So, All I need to do is to do the replacement and nothing else? oh I forgot the "safe eject", I can't find it even they are healthy

Thank you for this. I just scored a couple HDDs for cheap and an old mini pc I can build my farm with… or should I use my old ETH gaming pc miner?

Super helpful! I have never hot swapped a drive before but was completely out of space and had no choice. Even with Synology support telling me I could do this, I don't think I would have been confident enough to pull the drive if I had not seen you do it first. Lol. I have the exact same model, which has been going strong for about 3 years now, but it was time for an upgrade. What is kind of a bummer is I'd just added the last 6TB drive in the 5th bay only a few months ago but ate that up quickly (professional photographer...we go through storage like crazy). BH was running a sale on a set of two 16TB drives so I'll now have three 6TB and two 16TB, so that should hold me over for a while....at first the unused space is quite a lot due to the configuration, but after it's done repairing this first drive, then I'll pull the second one and put the other 16TB in and then I won't have any unused space. Anyhoo, long way of saying "thanks for doing this video!"

Will it work with qnap qvr pro.?

"For some of these smart home devices.." Me trying to hack my Wii U: 🙃

Another great video! Hey, noticed you work a lot with Synology NAS. Perhaps you could do a video where you configure the Amcrest Doorbell with Synology Surveillance Station instead of or in addition to the Smart Home Amcrest App.

Hi there, I am quite a newbie on this. I once bought a NAS DS713+ and it is now a decade old. Never swapped the harddrives until now. I read you should replace them once in a while before failing. What I don’t understand: there is data on those drives (ofcourse a backup on the second drive). How can you make sure that the data on the current drive is transferred to the new drive(s)????

Hey I'd like to request the camera setup for an Amcrest camera as mentioned at about 6:40 Thanks

great video!! i have a question, so im using synology ds920+ 4x2tb and already full capacity and now im about to buy 4x8tb, for the first step i just need to remove old drive from the nas random slot? and just put the new 1 and repair 1 by 1?? thank you

Thank you very much, it works, 👍

Very useful video. I am about to upgrade 2 x 4TB to 2 x 6TB to take my SHR to 5 x 6TB. I will obviously do 1 drive at a time and await rebuild?
