Hello,
I ran a xpenology-system for about 4 years (HP Microserver n54l, 10 GB Ram, Raid 0), but yesterday the hardware vaporized 😥
If I now buy a original Synology and put in the disks, will the data still be available? I was thinking about an original since I don't need the BIG hardware anymore
Best regards

My adventures in swapping from xpenolgy to real synology (not that xpenology is not real)
Ran DS918+ at 6.2.3.xx with Hybrid(SHR) RAID on a j3455-itx mobo. I had 2x4TB 2.5" HDD effectively a RAID 1 configuration due to only 2 HDD.
I bought a DS720+ and took drive 1 from old system and plugged it into slot 1 of 720+. At this point the 720+ was bone stock (2GB of memory and no cache).
The system booted and straight up asked if I wanted to migrate from the 918+ at 6.2.3 to 7.0.1. Yep.
Once it is up it tells me degraded system due to bad HDD (the missing #2 HDD) I install a 14TB EXOS Seagate and let the rebuild begin.
Rebuild complete, power down and add 8GB of crucial memory and 2xNVMe 500Gb to cache slots and reboot. checkout system. Shutdown again.
Remove 4TB HDD and replace with another 14TB EXOS and rebuild again. I now have 2x14TB, still Hybrid(SHR)
Everything is working as expected. All packages are there, settings, everything.
Since that effort in early January I have added a DX517 plus another 14TB. At this point I can't add to that pool as I only have 1 drive protection but I have 4 more slots to build other pools etc. Quite happy so far but it is not an inexpensive process.
right now I still have 2 of the original HDD set aside for another experiment.
Good Luck

Similar situation to original poster. I have been an xpenolgy user for some years (many thanks to all for their fantastic efforts). I stepped out to get a DS720+. In it's base form it is pretty grim but memory (additional 8GB) and NVMe (2x500GB) upgrades make it usable for my modest needs. Can't beat the UI. I took the drives (2x4TB) from one of my xpengoly systems and plugged the drives in to the DS720+, it migrated seamlessly. All settings and data in place. Since then swapped 4TB for a 14TB and no problems

Just recently, possibly after upgrade to 6.2.3-25426, the End function in DL Station no longer closes out a torrent. I typically seed for sometime after but once I see no activity against a file I like to End and delete torrent.
Anyone else seeing this?
Cheers

Anyone try fresh install? I have been through this thread and still not entirely sure weather the experiences noted are fresh install attempts of upgrades from 6.2.3.
Cheers

We tried Jun's 1.04b 918+ but it was unstable. It took a long time to boot and shutdown, and it wasn't detected in Lan. Other users reported problems with asrock j3455 and the latest dsm versions. What dsm version did you install in your Asrock j3455 itx?
DSM version prior update: DSM 6.2.1-23824 Update 6 = both systems.
I use the smaller config as a test system for upgrades etc.
Yes, boot time and time to network access was almost 20 minutes on larger system

That's surprising. A friend of mine has just built his xpenology with an Asrock J3455-itx 4Gb and 1x2TB WD blue 2.5" and he reported 9w by using a pico psu. I don't know if there are any differences between your M mobo version and my friend's itx. Are you using a standard psu or a pico psu?
Could I know what bootloader and Dsm version you are using?. He had some trouble with newer dsm versions, so he finally installed 1.03b on 916+ with dsm 6.1.7.
Standard PSU in as much it came with the "media center" case.

Problem solved via different route. Broke out an old router once used as extender and configured to match subnet xxx.xxx.0.1. Logged onto server , enabled Admin and set new PW. changed IP Status to DHCP. Swapped out temp router, all is back to normal(ish)
-
Thanks for input.
Indeed subnet has changed. from192.168.0.1 to xx1.1 everything else on the new network is set and I don't want to set the Router to 0.1.
I will try for the static route

All,
Thanks for any input.
I moved house, new router with new base IP. While at old house XPenolgy sever had manual IP and admin account disabled.
New house, I boot server and see in Synology Assistant old IP address and Connection Failed, I select option to Setup to allow "wizard" to configure network.
It asks for Admin PW. no matter what I input for PW it fails. I am (clearly) not an Network SME

I have a Windows app called Streamwriter that I would like to be able to use on my NAS for scheduled recording of Internet audio streams. I believe the app will run under Windows XP, 7, and 10. What would be the smallest Windows image available that I could use to run this app?
Thanks.

What am I missing? This is RAID 5 array with 4x8TB drives. you lose 1 drive worth for protection and the overhead of formats, file system and other guff. You will have roughly 21+TB to play with?
-
did you remove the "old 1 TB drive" before plugging in 2nd 3TB drive?
-
Are you attempting to go back to 6.1x or continue to upgrade to 6.2x?

Hardware crashed, will data still be available?

No Doubt but Synology wont get that satisfaction again. The initial excitement of a new toy is over, overall i'm too thrilled with my choices. I prefer to roll my own but waiting for an easier path to v7 via XP got the better of me. Lesson learned.
