According to our supplier: WD RED plus (CMR)

In this product, 2x 6 TB were installed, corresponding to a total capacity of 12 TB.

4TB WD40EFRX CMR

Hi ! Unfortunately there are two disks of 3TB only... (I ordered it few weeks ago and sent it back)

...two 4TB.

Yes it's 2 x 4TB :)

According to our research, these are two WD RED drives. According to the manufacturer, these are compatible with this server.

Unfortunately, we currently have no information on when the item will be available and when we will be able to deliver it. As soon as something changes in this regard, we will post it here. Sorry.

With the "Synology Drive" app this should be possible without any problems, but I'm not sure if an automatic backup on the smartphone is possible. https://www.synology.com/de-de/knowledgebase/Mobile/help

Actually, the WD's are also quiet, otherwise I would send the one in question in, it might have a defect.

WD HDD are CMR. Regards

WD40EFRX is installed in my case

According to the supplier, they are WD Red HDDs.

Hi Felix, ja solte gehen.. Siehe https://www.synology.com/de-de/dsm/feature/active_backup_google_workspace

Yes, the hard disks sit on drawers that can be inserted and removed without tools. See, for example, the following video (the DS218+ and the DS220+ are similar in this respect) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJ9M_M3iLfk But whether it makes sense what you have in mind is something else. Depending on how the NAS is set up, removing the hard disk will trigger error messages. If you want to do this for backup purposes, I would solve it differently. It's better to connect an external hard drive via USB. Either just a simple docking station, where you can also store the naked hard drive without an enclosure in another place. Alternatively, there are USB enclosures where you just have to slide the hard drive in.

Buy the system as individual products. The bundles have no advantage. You don't even need tools to install the 3.5" hard disks in the DS220+. You can do it yourself. With the individual products, the prices change automatically, as you know from Digitec. With bundles, however, the prices seem to be entered manually, which sometimes leads to more expensive prices because they are not updated regularly. 309.- DS220+ 178.- WD Red Plus 4TB (2x 89.-) Total 487.-

Hardbundle means that the discs are already installed, whereas with the softbundle the discs are delivered separately and you still have to install them. However, I would advise against buying a NAS that only has two drive bays. Later expansion is not possible and Ricardo and Tutti are full of NASs with only two drive bays. You also give away 50% of the capacity with a NAS with 2 drives. A later expansion can only be done by exchanging both disks. It therefore makes more sense to buy a NAS with 4 drive bays, the extra cost is not very high. A better solution would be, for example, to buy this NAS with 4 drive bays and then equip it with smaller disks. This way you only lose a third of the capacity and if you want to expand it again, there would still be a drive bay available for expansion: Synology DS420+ (0 TB) Combined with 3 x 2 TB, you would then also have 4TB gross, but you only lose 2 TB for the parity information (RAID5 vs RAID1 in the 2 bay NAS). If a disc should break now, it is enough to simply buy another cheap 2TB disc. WD Red Plus (2 TB, 3.5", CMR)

Hello, unfortunately I can't remove the HD at the moment. But in the system I see that two of the following type are installed: Seagate ST4000VN008-2DR166. Maybe you can find more detailed information on the net.

The software for synchronising photos also needs Quickconnect. An alternative would be to use Google Photos, which would give you a backup in the cloud for when you are on the road, and as soon as you are in your own home network, you can then additionally back up the photos from the phone to the NAS. However, I recommend buying a 4Bay Synology NAS, which is available from around 380 Swiss francs and gives you much more flexibility for later expansion, e.g. you lose less storage space because you can also work with smaller disks, but thanks to RAID 5 you also have better hardware failure safety. With a 2-bay NAS, you lose half the storage space because of RAID1, which is of course worse with larger disks, but you are definitely more flexible with a 4-bay NAS.

I guess that's the extra cost for everything from one source, but I wouldn't buy a 2 drive NAS, a 4 drive NAS is better, even if that might not be needed at the beginning. You can also put all the hard drives you might already have at home into such a 4-drive NAS, possibly in external enclosures (just break them open, put the drive into the NAS), because Synology offers with the Synology Hybrid RAID concept the possibility to simply mix different hard drive sizes together and to use theWith the Synology Hybrid RAID concept, Synology offers the possibility to mix different hard disk sizes and to use the space optimally, and if the fail-safety is added, you simply have more possibilities with 4 drives, because if a hard disk breaks in the 2-drive NAS (you give away 50% of the capacity anyway), you have to buy an expensive hard disk that big. If you want to expand, you even have to buy two expensive larger ones (swap one for the other). I would choose a DS 420+ or the only slightly more expensive DS920+ with more memory and a larger processor and perhaps work with somewhat smaller disks, e.g. 3 x 3TB, then you also get a net 6 TB but you still have expansion options.

Yes, that is possible

Hard bundle means that the hard drives are already inserted in the NAS. Soft bundle means that the hard drives are delivered separately to the NAS. I recommend a DS418, it is easier to expand and offers much better protection against hardware failures, since a RAID5 can be configured with 3 hard drives. Equipped with cheaper 3TB drives, a RAID5 would even provide 6TB instead of 4TB and there would still be a hard drive slot for further expansion. Synology DS418 WD Red Plus (3 TB, 3.5", CMR)

As far as I understand it, a hard bundle is a set put together directly by the manufacturer (disks already installed), while a soft bundle is put together by the dealer, i.e. hard disks are not yet installed in the unit.

Hi No, WLAN is not the best, Powerline would also be an option, but not always the best (speed... well). You can put the NAS in a small cabinet and make it soundproof, but then you might have a heat problem. The only alternative if the connection speed and stability is important: Lay network cable.
