  1. That's an excellent way to do the job! However I was the Volume set to RAID5 and if I have done it this way I would have end up with a 3 HDDs x10TB each that are used as a 4TB ones, right? And I wanted to set Volume of the new NAS to SHR in order to be able to mix and match different HDD capacities in the furure and to ease my life when upgrading HDDs. So I decided to just copy the data between the 2 builds. Mounted the shared folders from the old NAS into the new one and copy/pasted the data. However, thank you very much for taking the time to answer my question!
  2. Well it was so long ago and so many (re)instalations ago that I can't recall really. I recommend you to update and reconfigure the bootloader on a fresh USB stick as a first step. Maybe ARC loader is a very good idea. Then try to recover/migrate your data with the new loader and if it's not a success we can manage it from there.
  3. Let's hope it's a temporary decision and not a permanent one...
  4. Anybody? Any ideas? No one?
  5. You can easily boot from an Ubuntu flash drive and see what's on the disks. Or take out the disks and check them on another PC. The disks are sliced into a bunch of partitions. Most probably the partition with the data is OK. It's just the partition with the DSM that's broken.
  6. Is that a sure thing? I have read not one explanation, that in case of an HDD failure the newly added HDD will show up on the last DSM "bay". Hence the complaint that the recovery and the rebiuld of the Volume for that matter will be a mess and hard to achieve.
  7. The problem will happen when/if you need to change a HDD that died and rebuild the RAID volume...
  8. Hi guys! I need to come up with a backup strategy for all of my home devices and strongly need advice on this one! We have 4-5 PCs + a couple of MACs + 10+ mobile devices. I want to have a local backup + a cloud backup for added security. What I intend to do at the moment is to subscribe for Backblaze Personal Backup plan. This will allow me to backup one of my PCs and whatever USB hard drives and internal drives connected to it. So this PC + the attached HDD are backed up. I can easily backup all my other devices to my home XPEnology NAS. Then I'll need to sync the data on the NAS to the HDD that's attached to the PC on the home network. What's the best way to organize this last step? Synology Drive Server/Client? Some other solution? Or do I need to rethink the whole thing altogether? Please share your thoughts and/or how you've arranged your backup!
  9. Was the process straightforward or you needed some tricks and magic to make it work?
  10. First of all when 9207 arrived I replaced it's thermal paste. It's a bit tricky because the original one will only come out by (gently) scraping it off. The radiator is held on the chip by two screws. I used the holes on the radiator which almost prerfectly are matching the holes on the fan to mount the fan + radiator on the card using longer screws compensating for the depth of the fan. It looks like that. I provided some improvised insulation between the nuts and the board to protect it from physical and electrical damage. I used Noctua NF-A4x20 PWM which is a static pressure optimised fan. With just the original radiator 9207 was 70+ °C hot on idle. With Noctua mounted in it was ~35 °C. According to the documentation temperature range for the LSI SAS 9207-8i HBA operation is 0 °C to 55 °C (32 °F to 131 °F) (dry bulb).
  11. Will greatly appreciate it if you share your experience! Regarding the hot LSI HBA, obviously they are made for a full fledged rack servers where the air flow is so much stronger. That's why when put into a regular PC with a few fans it will get hot. I've managed to install a Noctua fan on the radiator of my LSI 9207-8i. This solved the problem with it getting hot. Can share some pics if you're interested.
  12. Well, if @RedwinX likes to share what's imprinted on his adapter and some impressions of how it's working it will be very valuable to this conversation. There are a lot of us that are seeking to expand mobo SATA ports with an expansion cards that are compatible with DSM.
  13. I bought this IOCREST PCIe Gen3 x4 to 5 Port SATA III adapter. It's based on JMB585 chipset so it provides 5 native SATA ports. Depending on your location there are other viable devices too. Me personally soon I'll buy a M.2 to 5 SATA ports adapter also. Something like this SilverStone Technology SST-ECS07-5-Port-SATA-M.2-PCIe Memory Expansion Card or this one Xiwai NVME M-Key PCIe to SATA 5 Ports Adapter Expansion Card JMB585 2280 Everybody's experience here is that SATA connections through AHCI work rock solid in DSM. Sadly this is not the case with HBAs...
  14. @IG-88 an XPEnology user here reports that this PCIe to SATA adapter with Asmedia1062 chip shows all 4 HDDs that are attached to it in DSM https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B07TD57RGZ?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Can it be that the DSM has changed and can now properly work with port multiplayers?
  15. Please beware! I bought an LSI 9207-8i in IT mode. It works pretty well BUT... There is a BIG problem with HBA in DSM. No matter how orderly will you plug-in the disks, the HBA and the DSM for that matter will scramble them which I found to be VERY inconvenient. That's why I bought a PCIe to SATA adapter and soon will exchange the HBA for the SATA adapter. It's everybody's experience that these adapters work rock solid with AHCI on the MoBo and in DSM, and every HDD will appear exactly where it's plugged in every time.
  16. Can you put me in touch with the DEV in question please? And/Or with someone who did a successfull installation on a MoBo with a 11500h or 12500h? I am considering buying and using one of these NAS motherboards and I'm strongly interested in how it's done.
  17. Excellent news! I'm playing around at the moment with ARC loader. Seems like it supports both Transcoding and HBA (with proper SN) on 918+ for a while now.
  18. Thank you! Has the incompatibility of 918+ to HBA been solved? Or it still doesn't show HDDs serial numbers when an HBA is used?
  19. There's a typo. l Choose lageuage must be l Choose a language.

    It's almost September now. Any news?...
  21. Glad you made it at the end! Can I ask you if you used Active Backup for Business for the hyperbackup you mention? And if so how did you manage to activate it?
  22. Thank you! Can you advice on a compatible SATA controller with at least 4 SATA channels? Or point me to a resource of some kind?
  23. Hi does TCRP M-shell support for whatever Synology model all at the same time - Intel gen10 CPU - LSI SCSI HBA - NVMe read cache - iGPU hardware acceleration
