Thanks Failed disc replacement at 8:30 for others
Extremely helpful video for beginners like me! Reassuring instructions… especially for those of us in a pinch and need a straight forward guide to swapping failed drives. Thank you Emilio!
Perfect instructions. I had the very same warnings with one of my drives and all I had to do is follow Emilio's instructions to get it fixed. Much more pleasant than finding and reading a manual. Thanks a lot! Very useful.
Thank you. Followed your directions and replaced a failed drive on my Synology this morning. It's all working and rebuilding.
Absolutely amazing and super helpful! Got me up and going with my old Synology in no time after a failed drive. Cheers!
This was super-helpful for me with my DS216+ and getting a defective drive replaced. Thank you for posting this!
I was notified of a couple of disks in my 5 bay Synology with bad sectors. Over time, the number of bad sectors is increasing, so time to replace! Your video was very helpful for this... the last 3 minutes or so of your video walked me through exactly the steps to take. Thank you Emilio!
Thanks for being clear, direct, to the point, not too salesy! Enjoyed the video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent Video. One of the best I've seen. Just replaced a failing hard drive in my NAS and with the guide of this video it was so simple and my NAS is now working as it should. Thank you.
Great to hear!
Thanks!, just replaced one disk in my DS1517+, first time for me.
Thanks very much for this. I had a printed instruction but it had no pictures and even though your video was for a slightly different version I was able to find what I needed to do swap my failing hard disk out. Tony - England
Fantastic Tutorial! I didnt have a failing disc or any errors on my Synology DS214, but noticed that the hours on my drives were a bit over 90k hours. I preemptively swapped out. I also did not have NAS optimized drives (not available when these were installed). Put in Seagate Ironwolf drives and it even seems to operate a little faster. Again, thanks for such a great tutorial, its always a bit like having your heart in your hand when you replace RAID drives!
Brilliant video had just purchased two DS1621XS+ nas having transferred my Seagate IronWolf Pro 10TB drives over the system reported 2 bad sectors on install this increased to 8 having watched your tutorial contacted Seagate got an RMA for the faulty disk it is now installed and is repairing thank you for your help
It works for me (DS218+) - Very intuitive and easy to understand, you saved my day! kudos!
Never knew any of that and I have been running a Synology NAS for years. Excellent video thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Nice information and really appreciate your time putting this together.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for that perfect tutorial. Helped me when a drive failed!
thanks a lot your instruction to replace a faulty drive works perfect!
Thank you so much for this excellent tutorial! This is how you give a tutorial!
This has been extremely helpful Emilio, thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!
@8:32 is where he shows how to replace the bad disk.
Great video, very informative and wonderfully presented, thank you.
thanks mate awesome and easy! Just followed along and did it myself
it starts at 08:35
excellent tutorial thank you
Same Problem... Informative Video. Can I ask if during it's repairing and rebuilding after replacing the drive, is it ok to have a process on it? like for example, putting 10gb of data to the nas storage while it is in rebuilding mode. will it break the hdd? thanks for the answer.
When you get a disk that is FULL do you recommend taking it out and storing it somewhere? If so can I insert it back to the NAS whenever I want and am I able to see all my information stored? (Im new to NAS)
I have a 2 bay nas the ds214 play . With SHR raid from Synology is it the same way then? Just deactivate the drive then turn it off replace the disk and put new in?
Very informative tutorial! God bless you!
Thanks for the comment, glad you liked it
Hi, very helpful video... I have a Synology 923+ with 2 volumes in RAID 1, does changing the disk apply regardless of the RAID type?
Need to ensure that the disk size is consistent
how to clone drive in same nas first hdd to second ? any solution? app?
Top Emilio good explain thanks for that
No problem 👍
What about a degraded disc. do i need to replace it?
Thanks for your help.
You're welcome!
Thanks, really good useful video!
Glad it was helpful!
how many hours was the repairing after the swap?
good stuff!
i have a 4 bay DS214play with a drive 4 error. I bought a new bigger hdd. my system is SHR. Can i replace the HDD with error codes without making backs up still not loosing any data on my Synology >?
So this would be the same if I just want to replace my disks with larger ones!?
Hi Emilio, thanks, great and useful video. I have a DS918+ with 4 pieces of 6T WD RED disk, one of them has already about 160 bad sectors. But it is still shows Healthy. Do you think it is worthwile to replace it now or wait until having the warning (Synology Hybrid RAID with 1 disk tolerance)? On the other hand, I have some "Disk re-identification count" warning as well (also on other drives), should I be bothered with this (I don't even know what this means)... Tnx for your reply in advance!!!!
I'd have a drive ready to go...you never know when the drive will fail. You can always wait until the drive dies if you are confident that the other dissk in the raid are ok. Hope that helps
@@TechWithEmilio Thanks. I’ve already bought one 😀. So enough to wait until the NAS reports the failure?
You forgot to mention that you need to remove the two side security fixes before removing the defect disc, spend some time to realize that the defect drive could not simply be lifted out of the bay...
Thanks for the note
Mine started a data scrub so I couldn't actually click repair yet.
You need to update your course to dsm 7.0 mate :)
Yep yep, thanks for the note. Updating a number of them at the moment.
Nice but I can't even get that far.... "no disk found"..... no matter how many drives I swap out to test AND resetting box!
I was wondering how to replace a drive in the NAS that works still, but the system had no redundancy. This video was no help at all.
Don't actually show device rempoval or insertion.
eh how about a video of what to do with failing drives
thanks for the recommendation!
Takes forever to get to the point.
Perfect instructions. I had the very same warnings with one of my drives and all I had to do is follow Emilio's instructions to get it fixed. Much more pleasant than finding and reading a manual. Thanks a lot!
