Thank you! I am 70 and had never set-up a NAS before, but everything went smoothly thanks to your clear instructions. I ran your video on my iPad while setting-up the NAS on my iMac. My only problem was that my password manager failed to save my main log-in password and I thought I would need to reset. Luckily, I was able to retrieve the password with some digging. Next time I will start with a simple password that I write down several times, then change to a strong once once everything has stabilised. I really appreciate your video. I could not have set up my NAS without it.
Hey man, I just bought a Synology NAS for the first time last week and your RUclips tutorials have been the best I have seen. I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your efforts in making the entire process an absolute breeze! Cheers!
My NAS is a DS1520+. Before I bought it and doing all the research watching all the vids and reviews I was worried it be noisy. I'm using regular Iron Wolf drives and the damn thing is QUIET!. It is so quiet I can't even tell it's even on and running with my hands on top of the drive unit. So I'm impressed by that. I watch at least 2 other different NAS Channels than this one and Synology itself. So I'm glad you are all different and it works. Here on this channel as a newer user, I feel I get to learn what the software is, how to configure and use it or why to use it. And it's been quite helpful though sometimes takes a while to understand. But the videos are just great!
Wow great job sir. You are a life changer. I followed your setup with my first ever Synology purchase. You were clear, precise and took it step by step. Thank you for not skipping through what I'm sure is boring for you. I have a lot of weight off my shoulders now with concerns about the setup. I'm looking forward to my continued education through your videos. I just wish RUclips allowed email address so we could connect easier. Thank you again for all your hard work. Gary
Will, your channel is amazing. The topics are relevant and interesting. I hope you will grow this channel and continue to make more excellent videos to share. Your instruction is simple, straightforward and easy to understand. Also, your recommendations are sound, and are obviously made with a lot of experience behind them. Thank you!
Thank you, great job. Went back and checked y 3 year old nas to update with your advice, and will apply what you've shown here to my new NAS.. Thanks again!!! 3 years ago and new nas - it was all so bewildering :)
Hey Mate , Thanks for the tutorial , I just setup my 4 Bay Synology NAS based on this tutorial you put together. Great resource for anyone new to NAS and networks . Much appreciated 👍
Thanks for your time doing all these tutorials. Another NAS noob here and I'm learning a lot and finding more and more things to read up on and learn about before my hardware arrives.
I have to admit, at first I skipped and went to other videos, BUT... I'm glad I came back, your videos are nothing short of AMAZING... def had to SUB.. and will be checking out more Videos. Great Job, and THANK YOU!!!
Will, I think that's your name, lol, THANK YOU for the video. I just got my Synology 1621+ in the mail and I followed your instructions. Thanks you are a real life saver. Now, I am watching the PLEX video next. Thanks again.
Wow Holy Cow! This was, you are incredible!! Just bought my Synology 220j. Just bought 2 segate irinnwolf nas drives. Now you confirmed my hope fully good choice. I just found you tonight here just in time as I set this all up. Wow!! Thank you Going to be watching for those shirts someone mentioned😊
I am currently setting up a DS1621xs+ NAS. A couple of points for you to mention: 1. The power cord receptacle is highly recessed. Be sure when you plug it in that you completely seat the plug or you may have intermittent power, which no NAS likes. 2. When you power up the NAS, the blue light on the front panel will begin to flash. This means the NAS is thinking. Do not proceed to trying to locate the NAS on your network until the blue light glows solidly, as the NAS will ignore your attempts. 3. You should consider a UPS for your NAS, and you should get it BEFORE configuring the unit, because of #4. 4. As part of setup the NAS will need to create pools of drives. I am using 6x 16 TB Iron wolf NAS drives. As part of creating the drive pool, the NAS will want to verify the checksums on the drive, which I believe will require it to read every byte on every drive. In my case, that check ran for 24 hours straight, so be prepared to be patient. Run it overnight on a UPS ! I also have a 5 bay expansion, & I am working on adding that to the drive pool I have already created. That is basically not happening for me at the moment. Don't know why, yet... I like this NAS a lot so far, quad core Xeon at 2 GHZ, should have some serious compute to apply. I used 2x 1 TB M.2 SSD sticks (Not Synology approved), but they seem to be working well. Also bumped memory up to 32GB, that too seems to be working well. Expansions are straight forward and easy. As I currently understand the storage hierarchy, There are pool(s) of drives at the top most level. Pools are composed of individual drives. I don't know why more than one pool would be needed, or how many you could have. I do not think you can split drives across pools. Volumes are created within drive pools. I do not think there is a limit on volumes. Directories are created within the volumes, and files are stored in directories. There is also a robust permission system to overlay on top of it all. Part of the price one pays for a Synology unit is for the software apps. The NAS itself is basically a computer with a lot of storage, and capable of running apps on its own. I recognize the Mariah database, I once used MySQL. There is also a virtual machine app, so if you want to run windows or linux on your NAS, that should be no problem. Installation might be an issue, my copies are on ISO disks, and the NAS has no DVD burner/reader. It does have a USB port that may be coaxed into use with an external USB DVD unit. I am also not sure how a BTRFS file system maps into say Windows. Much more to learn.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and simplifying the process of setting up my Synology drive! I have a ton of questions, I am sure I will find the answers to, across your other vids! Thanks again 😎
Thanks for the straightforward and clear explanation tutorial. I was afraid setting up NAS before as I'm not tech savvy, but your tutorial helps me a lot!
Thank you so much for this video. I purchased my very first Synology (DS220j) so I can get rid of my Drobos. And thanks for showing me how to set up on a Mac. By the way, nice Aloha shirt.
Hey thx for the videos you put… can you please make a video on how to configure some used cisco router on home isp and how to configure firewall and vpn on it
I'm a bigtime newbie when it comes to this but I have my Synology 1621xs+ connected directly from the 10GB port to the 10GB port on my Mac workstation and I was finally able to create a custom IP address to have those connect. But I still cant seem to figure out how to get external access? I cant set up Quick Connect. My NAS is not seeing the internet at all? How do you get external access for a NAS if its connected directly to a computer via ethernet?
Great tutorial. Thanks. Question: in the Sinology set-up tutorial they went directly to creating a Volume and skipped the Storage Pool tab. Can someone help me understand why, the difference, etc.? Thanks.
you can do this for simplicity, and it will simply use what the Synology things is best. However going first to storage pool gives you finer control if you choose to use it
Thanks for the tutorial. One thing that was confusing the heck out of me at the end though was the "go to the user quickly from the browser" part. you typed tod.local. I tried this and it just wouldn't work. i didn't know how to find the name I was supposed to use (would be really helpful to add that bit on so people can note it down for future reference). I finally connected when I typed what you said but added :5000 on the end. So; "yourName.local:5000". not sure if synology have changed this nature but that's how I got it to work after hours :)
More info: Creation of a pool appears to be a seminal event. You apparently cannot go back and add to (and I suppose delete from) the drives in a pool. This has implications if you intend to expand your NAS as storage requirements grow. It appears to me that you would need to delete all data and rebuild the system pool, then restore all of your data, which assumes you have some place to stash it while you re-build. It could also be a pretty lengthy operation, filling an ocean through a straw seems appropriate. I can delete a pool, but my attempts to re-create one with both the NAS and expansion chassis drives has come to naught, so far. DSM complains my expansion drives are "not initialized", which I presume is that checksum song&dance, but I see no way to overtly instigate such a process. No apparent "Initialize Drive" command I can find, so far. I now have a mix of six "initialized" drives, and four "un-initialized" drives. Perhaps DSM does not like that. It is getting late here, perhaps starting tomorrow afresh is the best option. A parting thought, perhaps you cannot split pools across a NAS and an expansion unit. I can't imagine why that would be, drives are drives. I will try a two pool solution tomorrow.
Awesome tutorial. Now I am doing a back-up with cloud. How do I merge both hard-drives from redundant without losing any data? I have two 8TB hard-drive, one set-up as main and the other as redundant as mentioned in the tutorial. Thanks
I am currently looking at getting a NAS to do two things one store video and photographs on, edit on my computer then store the edited version . Two I am creating a whole folder of flac files , ripping my CD collection. Once done store on a NAS and then using home network to stream to a dac and play them. The one computer store I visited recommended Synology over other brands … Eventually I may want to set up Plex, but for now I think I would just go with the app for the dac.
why you did not agree and check box the option after connecting to quickconnect where it asks "Share my Synology device network location to allow me..." @ 6:30 ???
do you have a tutorial first time set up using DS Finder app using a cellphone (poco F3)? ..everything goes well but stops at 4:58 because it says "you don't have enough previlege" over and over again.. synology livechat couldnt help me..
Just bought a synology nas today looking forward to setting it up and figuring things out as I go along. thank yo u. Just a question: you mention disabling admin account for security. Will I still be able to setup other stuff using a different account ?
Is there a way to delete a volume, and then a pool? If I used a naming convention for the NAS, I’d there a way to change it, backup, and start over? I recently followed instructions on this channel to set up my NAS, and I want to back up and start over… do things a little differently.
I upgraded my NAS and put some new drives in the old NAS, after downloading DSM the system automatically set the RAID format and set-up the volume without me doing anything. I expected that when I migrated the old drives into the new NAS but not with the old NAS and clean discs. Not sure if info is carried over in the NAS itself or stored somewhere in my account but thought I would mention it
Thank you for your great videos! I bought a Synology DS118 just for access externally to the folders I have in the studio (in 2 Exteran Disks and in my Studio Computer). I just don't know one thing: should I put all the data I have in those external disks inside my NAS and use NAS as my main shared Disk?; or should I make a copy of them to the NAS and use that NAS as a backup/shared disk?
I replaced an old Drobo with a Synology with a DS920+. The Drobo interface had a GUI pie chart to show total disk space, used, unused and what was dedicated to redundancy. I don't see that with the Synology or even just a page that I can read. Can you point me to where I might see these stats?
Excellent account , you do not assume that we know anything so it makes everything simple. I still have one problem , on windows 11 the last SMB stage fails ?
Thank you! I am 70 and had never set-up a NAS before, but everything went smoothly thanks to your clear instructions. I ran your video on my iPad while setting-up the NAS on my iMac. My only problem was that my password manager failed to save my main log-in password and I thought I would need to reset. Luckily, I was able to retrieve the password with some digging. Next time I will start with a simple password that I write down several times, then change to a strong once once everything has stabilised. I really appreciate your video.

This is the most thorough video on setting up a Synology NAS! Thank you for doing it! I could never ever have set mine up without this tutorial.
Happy to help!
My NAS is a DS1520+. Before I bought it and doing all the research watching all the vids and reviews I was worried it be noisy. I'm using regular Iron Wolf drives and the damn thing is QUIET!. It is so quiet I can't even tell it's even on and running with my hands on top of the drive unit. So I'm impressed by that.

Just started messing with SNAS drives. Love your videos so far! Probably the best I've seen on youtube for SNAS tutorials.
Glad you like the videos!
I agree
Never rewinded a video so many times. Thanks for the great video.
Haha thanks! Definitely going to want to make another one for DSM7.0!
@@SpaceRexWill I can´t wait for the update of DSM 7 and you definetly "have to" do a presentation on it.
VERY good! You make the best tutorials and it's obvious you talk about what you DO know. Not like many others. Pal, you were born to teach! Thank you!
Hahaha thanks really means a lot! I got started with tutoring in college and its really nice being able to do this

Hey glad you like the channel!
This was fantastic! Just perfect! As a request, folks like me would probably want to know how to set up Time Machine, too.
I think you just need to mount a drive from your NAS on your desktop. Time Machine should see it.

When he said, "I'm on a Mac" I'm like, yes we know. The shirt, the speech patterns, everything.
Thank you for your help. I basically set up my Synology NAS by only following your tutorial
I'm a bigtime newbie when it comes to this but I have my Synology 1621xs+ connected directly from the 10GB port to the 10GB port on my Mac workstation and I was finally able to create a custom IP address to have those connect.

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks a lot!
