  • @kd6lor
    @kd6lor 2 года назад +1

    Given 4 drives present, I would use SHR2 or raid 6 over SHR or raid 5 and leaving the 4th drive idle as a hot spare… Using the hot spare and 1 drive redundancy leaves you open to data loss if failure occurs before the spare comes live. It can take a long time to rebuild an array. Having a second drive failure protection in place with SHR2 is a huge comfort and reduces the pucker factor while waiting for an array to rebuild. When your drives are a few years old, you will lose one and be hoping that the remaining old drives don’t crap out during the rebuild!

    Thanks for taking the time to record this. While I'm familiar with RAID, etc., (setting up a Synology 1522+, to replace my old Drobo 5N), you answered my biggest question really quick: "Do I need the drive screws?". I am thinking, since I'm in an RV, that I might should use them anyway, because vibration....but we'll see. I have the NAS, but the drives are coming slower. :( And I'll be using RAID6 with 5x8TB Seagate Ironwolf. RAID6, because, again, in an RV!

    You can also remap your essential folders such as my documents and my music by clicking on the icon and select properties. Use the tab for location and in the data string, move your on system files to the NAS Drive. Just remember to recreate the disk structure/path naming formalities, if you care about such things. For instance I use \\[Synology drive name]\path\folder\My Documents.
    Because I have several computers that I use, I find it easier for me to have my folders on my Nas, than to have individual folders on each pc
    For me, this works. It means that I can access all my files even on my laptop, in another country.
    Downside is that if I lost my laptop, they can access my stuff too but that is another issue

    I did it differently and added two drives for 12TB of storage, as separate individual volumes. Backup is to external USB 5TB drives using DiskBoss Ultimate, which mirrors the NAS drives to the USB ones and error checks them. The USB drives to cover the 12TB worked out half the price too.

    Hi, I really appreciated the pace. I'm hoping you can post a video to expand on drive mappings. It would be helpful to address the issues one can come across when the NAS is in a VLAN with specific ACLs, Although I'm in the same domain, I can't map a drive and I suspect it has to do with network security and the fact that I'm in a separate VLAN. I also "loaned" out two of my drive bays on the NAS to a hospital and they are not even in the same domain, but I want them to map a drive through Windows Explorer as well. Thank you!

    I'm so confused with all this networking stuff right now and NAS lol. ( do video editing and render farms)
    So Ive been told that a mechanical drive is too slow and would bottleneck on a 10gbs network. I mentioned isnt that what the RAM, CPU and SSD caching is for? To bring the speed up over 200-300 mb transfer? Supposedly a usb2.0 on SSD would be be fast enough, but based on my editing experience I would disagree as it always lagged and files are unscrubbable with a 4k 60fps footage. If a 10gbs is required for NAS video editing workflow, then doesnt that mean the data we're transfering should be equally or close to being that high as well? Is there more to it than the actual transfer speed that I am not understanding? How much data are we transfering or required to transfer when editing sometthing like a 4k60fps? Do you have a deep explanation for these?

    I have Synology Drive on my computer, which uses a 480GB SSD. There is a SynologyDrive in the Local disk D. The data I store in the SynologyDrive is synced to my DS220J Synology NAS. Unfortunately, the total capacity of Local disk D is just 175GB, which is quite limited compared to the amount of data I need to store in my NAS. I do "free up space" some folders in the SynologyDrive on my computer but I still don't have enough memory for my data.
    What should I do to upload 1TB of my data to my NAS without facing the limited amount of memory (175GB) of the SynologyDrive on my local disk D?

      Q1: You need to download and install manually dsm 7.0 as of right now , it’s not available as an update yet. Q2 : no need to do a fresh install and your backup are safe too.

    Unfortunately this is supposed to be for beginners how to setup a Synology DSM 7 now but your missing important features if you don't have checksum enabled on the share you can't enabled it afterwards (it disables auto repair) also for beginners SHR should be used due to its flexibility (you can't change between SHR and raid5) disks at 8tb or higher recommended to use SHR2 and a 5 or higher Bay nas (so you still have 3 disks worth of space)
    Recycle bin enabled
    Snapshot Replication should be (amazes me you have to actually install it) and set it up 30 days retention (or more if needed) and set monthly smart extended scan and monthly data scrub schedules set
    If you're thinking about using a hot spare with SHR or Raid 5 don't, you should pick shr-2 first or RAID6 before you even consider using hotspare (as your constantly protected protected from 1 or 2 disk failure, with SHR1 once you lose a disk you lose redundancy the hot spare doesn't protect you until it has finished rebuilding, or you might actually automate your pool death when)

    Hoping to get a simple answer, without someone asking "why do you want to do this", I have my reasons. Would a 10GB NAS with single volume drives (not raided) be faster the 1GB NAS with single volume drive (not raided). Current NAS is Western Digital 4 Bay PR4100 with WD Red Drives Set up Jbod (4 Volumes). Thinking about getting Synology or QNAP 10GB not sure which one yet with Iron Wolf Pro drives, but do not want to RAID, want single Volumes like I currently have. I know this is not normal, but does anyone know if the 10GB NAS will be significantly faster in this situation? Many thanks in advance.

    We are sorry to hear that your DS218 has to be reset. This is likely caused by an issue in the DSM operating-system.
    We understand that you are worried about losing your data. Please rest assured, your data should not be affected by the reset as the OS and data are stored in separate partitions on the drives. When re-installing the OS, the system should normally not touch the data-partitions of your drives.

    • @sylvainalain6637
      @sylvainalain6637 3 года назад +2

      With Dsm 7.0 it’s the hot spare with the quick/clone feature that doesn’t need to stress your raid. I’m sure that he will do a video on that DSM 7.0 feature. On a side note , using shr2 or raid 6 or even what you are doing on a 4 bays is overkill. Doing that should be at least on a 1621+ 6 bays. Raid is not a backup

    Why did you choose RAID5 over SHR?

    • @galfert
      @galfert 9 месяцев назад

      RAID 5 has higher performance. But limits future expansion to larger drives. Because only SHR let's you replace 1 drive with a larger one, rebuild, then replace the next drive with a larger one, rebuild, and so on until all have been replaced for larger size. With RAID 5 to expand you'd have to backup elsewhere and then replace all drives and then set new larger RAID 5.

    Read and write is not improved in RAID 1. It's too bad you keep saying this in so many of your video's. Explenation: a 1GB file needs to be written to a RAID 1 setup. The 1GB of data will be written to both drives at the same time, turning it from a 1GB data transfer to a 2GB transfer on that final stretch of the pipeline. The data is there 2 times now. The read and write performance is therefore theoretically limited to the slowest disk speed of the two.

  • @galfert
    @galfert 9 месяцев назад

    Correction: RAID 2 does not offer 2 disk failure protection. RAID 2 only offers 1 disk failure. It's purpose is Hamming code protection for data integrity at the block level. Not very common. Special use case when you need bit rot protection.

If anyone is going to think about selecting RAID 2 then they should do their homework and not just go on by what they heard 1 time.
