Of all the companies in the industry of network-attached storage, few are as secretive as Synology. Whether you are an in the industry of network appliances and storage, the in-house IT guy, or a professional consumer (prosumer) who is just in the market for a new piece of kit, finding out information on the latest hardware and software releases from Synology NAS can often be rather difficult. I have been covering pretty much any and all new releases from Synology NAS for a few years now and although they are always rather secretive at the best of times, things are especially oblique in this latest generation of 2020 and 2021 range. There are lots of reasons for this, ranging from their brand's own elusive reputation to share information till the last moment, to the impact of natural disasters in the east and world spreads of Convid-19 having an impact on manufacturers as they either preemptively close/lower staff numbers, or are in areas of a large impact. So, today I wanted to run down everything we know about the software and hardware that we know is coming for 2020/2021 in the Synology portfolio, as well as update as much as I can as time goes on.

Why can't everyone explain so clearly and simply as you do? You're a Godsend. Thank you!
Just got one fully decked out. And this channel helped every step of the way
The discussion of static IP in this video shows editing the default gateway IP which is already and always static. Assuming a simple home network, this is the IP address on the router for access to the Internet. The default value is almost always correct for a home network and should never be changed.
Assuming that you meant to show how to set a static IP for the NAS (there are pros and cons to this), in the same Network section of the control panel:
1. Click the "Network Interface" tab.
2. Click the LAN 1 interface (assuming that's what you're cabled to. It will show "Connected")
3. Click the "Edit" button.
4. Select "Use manual configuration"
5. Change the IP address to one not being used on your local network (You can check this on your router)
6. Click "OK"
Oh my! Excellent video, clear and precise teacher, with background information (not waffle) whilst waiting for system to catch-up - THANK YOU for making and sharing this video.
Wouldn't have had the courage to buy one without your no-nonsense informative videos. Keep up the good work!
YES! These are the videos to watch for your Synology NAS. I purchased the DS918+ on PrimeDay. Watched a few vidz from others that said a lot about absolutely nothing. This guy covers the appliance, features, and setup really well. Thank you!
Cheers dude. I'm blushing
Great stuff! I am looking at the 1019, all new to me. Going to check your other vids, thanks and peace.
Really great and thorough video but I encountered some issues with Shared Folders and thought I would share the solution since I've managed to fix it.
To those who might have had issues with the shared folder not showing up in Windows and displaying "Location is not available" check that SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support is enabled on your Windows PC.
Here are some instructions I found courtesy of Kate Li (MSFT) on Microsoft's TechNet forum
Let's first check the SMB settings in NAS, if it was configured SMB 1.0 as default, please configure the same version of SMB to fix this issue:
1. Run PowerShell as Administrator
2. Set-SmbClientConfiguration -RequireSecuritySignature 1
Answer Y when prompted to confirm the modification.
3. Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters" RequireSecureNegotiate -Value 0 -Force
4. Control Panel / Programs and Features / Turn Windows Features On or Off and make sure SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support is ticked
If this issue still persists, Please Reinstall and reset TCP/IP to check this issue.
1) Click on the Start button
2) Search for CMD
3) Right click on Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator
4) Type netsh int ip reset c:
esetlog.txt in the Command Prompt window, and press the Enter key.
5) Type winsock reset in the Command Prompt window, and then press the Enter key.
6) Restart the computer.
Hope this helps someone who needs it.
"Hackers ain't talking days off" hahahh just bought mine excited great stuff man
you have taken me through the process of understanding what these things are, to cxhosing the right one for me, and then setting up my first nas, THANKYOU SO MUCH!
No worries dude. Glad you enjoyed the vid and found it helpful buddy.
Absolute first class tutorial. Thank you very much!
Thanks for the guide, very thorough! I didnt even know about SHR when I ordered my 918+, looks like I got lucky!
I'm setting up my Synology NAS right now. Your videos were very helpful in making my decision buy and setup. Thank you.
Great tutorial. Thank you so much!
I just set up a DS918+ with four 8TB WD purples in a raid 5 and it took 13 hours for the storage pool. I started it at 5pm after work and let it go over night until 8am.
Your book collection is impressive!!!
Just bought one of these cuz of this video... thanks! New Sub too
Found your channel and love it! I’m a former (over a decade) Drobo user defecting to Synology. Just bought the DS1621+. I watched your video on it which helped me pull the trigger. Bring new to Synology and finding this 9 part series on the the DS1019+. Pretty excited to go through them. My question is, is there anything not included in these videos that would apply to the 1621+, or is it the same? Thanks very much! 👍🏻👍🏻
Just to let any new NAS buyers know, Setting up storage pool on DS1019+ with 3x8TB WD red's takes around 12 hours! ;)
Being a noob, I wasn't sure if I had to stay up all night or I could log out and let it do it's thing over night. You can log out!
I am a real noob, so thanks for that! Seriously thinking about the 1019, not even that sure what all I can do with it. Take care.
Thank you for the info. I was just setting up my DS920+ and had the same doubts.
Hi, how do you map the drive on a Mac? I'm currently having to keep installing Sinology assistant to find it? When I connect in file explorer it fails to connect each time - yet it is on and working and visible once I get into DSM?
Really enjoyed this one !!! Been using a nas forever but I was doing it all qrong hahahaha
is this the best setup to run multiple VMs?
I would love an in-depth on how QuickConnect works. The technology behind it and security.
Great video but I can't find Storage Manager on my 218plus. Not loaded and not in the store?
How do you know what number to put in for the static ip address? Do you have to contact your isp to request one?
For a Static IP, at 20:46, you are clicking on the wrong place. Go to the Network Interface tab at the top of the screen, click on your LAN connection ( likely LAN1), Edit, Use Manual Configuration.
Thanks for posting this. I was wondering the same thing.
nice bookshelf ;)
oh, and subbing today.
For consumers btrfs and SHR is the best choice for its flexibility and extra features. For business it is probably still the best choice although business tend to be more cautious so may use ext and RAID because of it longer history of reliability although I do think this is been too careful as both technologies have been around long enough to prove their worth stability and suitability.
Can anyone tell me how much time will it take approximately for building/creating volume in raid-5 in Synology 920+ with four 4TB IronWolf NAS Drives giving approximately 10.4TB usable space?
HI, this was good, especially when you touched on the idea of creating separate volumes for BackUP, Media and SurveillanceCAMs. That's what I want to do. In Storage Manager I currently only see one volume, aptly called Volume 1. However, the "Create", radio button is greyed out. If I wanted to create the 3 mount points [volumes/folders?] I just described, would I have to create 3 volumes or go into Control Panel, Shared Folder and create 3 shares, named accordingly? [I can't currently create any volumes as I said the "create" in Storage Manager is greyed out.
I just got my NAS, and after setting up have the same issue, did you find a solution? I never meant to create the volume in the first place, it seems it created it automatically when it was setting up. I want to choose a different RAID config, but it won't let me delete "Volume 1" because it seems that the DSM is installed on the volume somehow, so I can't rebuild it? TIA
im stuck at how to map the drive to my desktop? can anyone help?
Great video! 👍

Many of the setup videos I've viewed always seem to go with the default bad sectors of 50, but I'm unclear what that means. Is that a percentage of the hard drive? if not could you elaborate how many bad sectors I could choose if I wanted to change the default. How many sectors are there on a disk drive and does that vary with the size of disk drive I install?
The following links may help with the sector size portion of your question... thestarman.pcministry.com/asm/mbr/DriveOffsets.htm , en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_sector
Not sure why when I stream from my as DS981+ it's kind a slow and pixelated, is that has to do with the NAS being slow to transcode ?
Not the 918 itself, maybe a HDD issue? Or codec setting?
Do you recommend creating multiple volumes ? And if you do multiple do you install apps according to where it’s files in a certain volume is being used?
That greatly depends on what kind of RAID (or not) configuration you choose, and also how many drives you have - or will have in the future. Your second question I don't understand.
Note that if you have a single drive device like a DS120j than you do not get the option to create Storage Pools or choose the FileSystem
how to restore data after update dsm 6 to7
I can't map my DS212j and synology assistant can't find it.
first thanks for the Great Video .
I`m trying to map the drive step by step like the video. when i put the user and the password i got this error : "system has no response connection timeout "
I found out i can map it when i type in the file explorer (any folder)
: (\\YourNasIP) it will ask for your user and password.
then right click on the new sharefolder , map network drive, then select the map letter.
Hi! Do you have any answers to this? I was setting up my Synology for the first time. I only have two drive slots and both are 4TB. I noticed after setting up, one drive is "initialized" and the other drive is "not initialized." When creating storage pool and volume, I can only create on the "initialized" drive and I cannot create on the "not initialized" drive. Do you know how can I get this drive to get initialized? Any answer would appreciate. Thank you.
Whtas the difference between SHR and SHR 2
Check out this link for info on SHR & SHR2 as well as other RAID configs w/ Synology... www.synology.com/en-us/support/RAID_calculator?hdds=
You are talking about setting the static IP of the NAS but it seems like you're showing of to use a fixed DNS Server address. Completely different things.
Yes. Go to the Network Interface tab to set the static IP.
Agreed
This thing's driving me bloody nuts. Did the basic set-up, it automatically used my 2 6TB drives to make me a 2-disk 6TB RAID with SHR. Fine. But I want to partition it into 2 (a 4TB backup drive for time machine backups, and one 2TB for media). Can I do it? No. Trying to delete the volume so I can create 2 new ones won't work because the current one is in use and I've seemingly got to stop, or uninstall loads of packages/processes that I don't know what they do in the first place. All I want is a bloody RAID-secured 2-partition drive with a gigabit ethernet port. Why does this have to be so bloody complex. :(
Did it in the end. Just took a lot of disabling/uninstalling.
@@Piplodocus how did you do it because Im stuck on when I set it up, it automatically set up a SHR which is fine, I have two 4T drives I want in a one disk redundancy....but all the videos show people setting this up manually....I dont know if the auto setup is correct, I dont know if I should, or even can scrap that one and do it again manually
@@CobraDove1111 I had to disable and/or uninstall all the many NAS apps (like media servers and stuff that it auto-configured on its auto-set-up routing) that seemed to be using it, then finally I could re-partition and set the drives up how I wanted. It was all unavailable and I couldn't change anything drive-related when all the apps were using the disk (and I didn't really have any use for the apps anyway - it's a RAID backup drive in one partition, and spare network storage in the other). Basically I just wanna use the thing as a big RAIDed 2-partition HDD with Ethernet I/O. It tried to be too clever and decide it wanted to be a media server and stuff I had to get rid of and turn off.
Would love to see Mac mini vs nas video
The word "Volumes IP" was not used correctly in this video. The video vaguely shows you how to setup the IP address of the NAS. Volume IP implies the volumes themselves have a unique IPs over the network. This is a feature of SANS which is a more advanced network storage technology. If you want more thorough tutorials on setting up the Synology, you should go to this channel. That channel has 37 videos on setting up the Synology NAS! The series is still ongoing so you know you get the latest info as well.

This video was a good fast basic one and only intended as thus, but I agree that linked series above is AWESOME.
i hope youre getting paid by Synology!

Is your book in the background real ?
lol no.
When you talk about setting a static IP address, why are you on the General Tab and clicking on the default gateway and telling people to set the static IP address there? You should be on the Network Interface Tab, select the LAN adaptor in use, click Edit and change settings to 'Use Manual Configuration' and then you setup the static IP address, subnet mask and gateway addresses. You just lowered my confidence in you.
I was noticing this as well. Wondered if anyone else caught that, pleased to see you posted.
Bloody hell you waffle. The constantly moving mouse, and the waffling are a hindrance to staying focused and following instructions. As a new user I had enormous difficulty following your instructions especially after watching the Synology series. They were calm and methodical with time to absorb the instructions and follow the clearly marked and enlarged mouse icon. I was forced here because they completely neglected to mention configuration of the storage pool. I will be going back there as soon as I grasp what you are trying to explain. I think I will have to replay this video a few times before it sinks in
Dang nab it man, stop abusing the English language. Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks. Once in the Array they are not independent in any way, shape or form, other than physically. Don't buy into manufacturer hype just because they want to sell you expensive disks.
Please dont talk so fast
Apologies! It's tough to find a line in these videos between covering as much as possible and making a video too, too long (the 1st generation of these setup vids were criticized for being too long/slow).
Over 10min of WASTED time talking instead of just showing us how to set up.
