    👍good video. As a 3 year synology user. I have to stress this as much as possible. DISABLE THE ADMIN & GUEST USERS IMMEDIATELY upon setup. Create your own user account and give it admin privilege's. Synology's and other NAS systems are frequently targeted by hackers. The default attacks are most always via the ADMIN user account and the GUEST user account.

      @@TomtheDilettante I've just revisited this video 4 months later after buying my own DS220+ with 2x 8TB Seagate Ironwolf drives. The whole process is still identical to how you went through it, and I'm all set up and ready to go!
      Admittedly though, I forgot that with a 2-drive setup, you only get half of the storage you purchase because of the SHR protecting you, but still, I can always expand further down the line if needs be - in about 3 years I've used less than 3TB internally on my PC, so I'll be good.
      Thanks again for the awesome video!

    Hi just bought this set up (fewer hard drives) and was wondering how to get it going. Your video is the clearest, fastest most straight-forward "how to" for this NAS that I have seen -I scrapped all the other more technical approaches -followed this video and I am up and running without issue. Amazing -your 10:28 said it all and said it best THANK YOUI! Mark! 👍👍

    WOW!! I love your voice, pacing, and constant reassurance you aren't a tech wizz. I bought my NAS in May 2021 and was so overwhelmed by the prospect of setting it up I had put it off for TWO YEARS. I'm just now doing it TODAY, under your guidance. Thank you so much! The only issue I ran into is I thought I needed to log into the NAS as if it were a new wifi network - when all you have to do is open File Explorer and click network, then it's in there. User error on my part. Thank you for empowering me to do this. My ex-husband was the tech guy, but now I know I can do it too!

      @TomtheDilettante  2 года назад +1

      ha! Thanks! Sounds like you're in the same boat I was. So far I'm happy with this storage solution. The next test will be when I need to expand storage. Hopefully this thing is just as easy to migrate from a 2-bay to a 4-bay NAS as it was to set up initially.

    • @harri3020
      @harri3020 2 года назад +1

      There are several ways to upscale with Synology. The simplest, is to buy a unit with more bays than you initially need then add drives as your storage needs grows. Some models support the addition of expansion bays, the 220+ does not. Your only option will be to migrate to a bigger unit. Synology Migration Assistant provides an easy way to do this. However, with a 4-bay and larger storage capacity, you may want to consider rebuilding your storage pools and volumes. If so, you won't want configuration migrated, only the data. Lots to think about when the time comes.

    Thanks for the advertisement. I bought a 2 drive NAS from Synology about 4 years ago for the purpose of redundancy. Raid 0 was probably the only sweet-spot. I tried to get a few friends to collaborate the important off-site storage. However, the cost to play was too high and we never went any further.
    Since then, I’ve realized that it is only the really irreplaceable data that we need to save. Movies and stuff are not important since I can just torrent them again anyway. The true failure of say a, ‘Carrington event’ I am covered by 2 HDDs in a grounded- Faraday cage. I should still print-out the really important data on acid-free paper in case there is no such thing as power anymore. The truly hardcore preserve the XOWA project (Wikipedia) on paper but a digital copy is not so obscene anymore.

    • @TomtheDilettante
      @TomtheDilettante  2 года назад

      I think it depends on the size of the drives used. Check out this article where (if I'm reading it right) it states that traditional RAID storage is only as useful as the smallest drive used; whereas SHR RAID (like I used in this video), you can use drives of different sizes.

    @fk319fk 2 года назад +1

    Great review. For a 2 drive system, there is nothing to be added.
    When mentioning more than 2 drives, you missed the topic of redundancy. This comes down to how important your data is.
    How many drives do you want to have failed and still have all your data? Remember that when all these drives fail, if you have one more fail, you lose all your data.
    I personally organize my pools with 5 drives, two of which are redundant. This gives me time to order a new drive when one fails. Of course, you can have a cold standby drive next to your NAS.

    So im a little confused.. Can someone help me with figuring out SHR vs RAID 1. I have a 2 bay ds220+. I did what this video did. SHR and selected both drives. So.. originally i wanted one drive to mirror the other. Direct backup. But everyone is saying SHR is the way to go! And being a beginner. Both my drives are 10TB. Is SHR beneficial for me still? I plan to use 10TB for storing data and accessing and maybe some areas for backing up the computer. BUT..What happens to the OTHER 10TB drive i have? is it being used for anything?

    • @TomtheDilettante
      @TomtheDilettante  Год назад

      I'm not an expert, but I suggest checking out the Synology RAID calculator on their site (www.synology.com/en-us/support/RAID_calculator?hdds=10%20TB|10%20TB). According to it, with two drives, SHR and RAID 1 are essentially the same insofar as space used for protection vs usable storage. The difference between the two starts to become more clear when using 3 or more drives. Hope that helps a bit.
