[Cannot access Server using Syn. Drive Client pkg]

I installed 2 versions of Xpenology on 2 different hardware systems(one with i5 and the other AMD), one older and the above version(latest one I think), this one I can update to the latest Synology firmware no problem here, whereas the older Xpe. version I was locked in the older Synology firmware when I upgraded the system firmware it HUNG and I could not reboot and basically I had to reinstall made this worse I could not work with the latest Xpe. firmware. Very complicated.

 

So you cannot understand why my system could not work.

 

BTW my  Synology NAS and XPE NAS, both have the latest Synology firmware. Thanks for your help even though you could not solve my problem.

Did you use an account with admin privileges? Using Synology Drive for NAS to NAS transfers requires admin account rights. Also check if the user has the appropriate rights on the source NAS to use Drive.

I am afraid no success. I can log into the Xpe. server no problem.  Any other suggestions?

Any possible solution anyone? Otherwise,  I have to use external s/w pkg like Good Synch OR Free synch s/w. Thanks.

So if I read correct you try to use Synology Drive on a client system and it can’t connect to your Xpenology? Do you connect from inside your local network or by some VPN system? Running QuickConnect on a Xpenology requires a valid combo of MAC & serial and shouldn’t be used (as stated in the FAQ). But it is possible to access your box from the outside either by DynDNS in combination with NAT or with VPN.

I didn't explain that well. I am running INTERNALLY via my LAN not trying to connect via the Internet. Within my LAN I connect a Genuine Syn Nas 212plus and Xpenology NAS emulating 918plus. From a remote windows 10 desktop I try to connect to Syn. NAS no problem here just by using the NAS address, eg 192.168.8.111. I tried with Xpe NAS I get No Connection, basically can't est. connection.(BTW I was able to sign into the Xpe NAS using the same address.  What could be the problem?
BTW I understand networking addressing but really not an expert or even proficient at it.

[Cannot access Server using Syn. Drive Client pkg]

Hi,

I was about to install and make to work Xpenology on my old PC running the latest version 6.2.3 and running smoothly.

I could not use quickconnect for obviously reason, I tried to learn how to solve this problem with no success..

 

I installed the above software   & tried to connect to Xpe. Server , it gave me an error message:

Connection failed.

I never get pass connection to the Xpe sever.

(BTW I have an genuine Synology server and it works)

 

I am sure some of you face this problem before, is there a way to go about solving this problem.

Please direct me the link that will help me fix this problem.

Thanks.

[Custom built NAS for future proofing DSM 7.0]

The reviewer is very enigmatic about this simulated 35W, I know there are programs to modify lots of AMD CPU functions like RyzenAdj or modded bios. Some official BIOS even have a "target TDP" option available, don't know if you checked yours..? You may contact the reviewer for further informations, he's very active and if there's a way, I'm sure he'll gladly help.

I know 55$ is not a lot but you can't be sure your AMD setup will be compatible with DSM 7 if there's a loader someday, I would keep my money and wait but I understand 100W is an enormous amount of energy, I don't know how it's even possible or perhaps it's while doing software decoding or heavy load, Mine is 50/60W at idle with 6 HD, 2 SSD, 2 pci-e cards and 4 fans.

I haven't bought the AMD 9800E yet probably don't intend to buy it cos I rejigged my system by making minor adjustments, with all the cards intact I remeasured the power consumption the new power consump. is about 35-40watts(once the system settled down and in idle state). It is not that high cos I don't intend to have it ON 24/7. Thanks for your contribution.

It's not a real 9800E, but a guy reviewed an A12 9800 like yours and simulated a 35W DTP. I don't know how he did that , perhaps with the help of a modded bios. Idle power consumption is the same but the difference at heavy load is interesting.
It could be a good solution instead of putting money in an old setup.

Edit: it may be possible with a custom BIOS made by The_Stilt

the power measurement for 9800E is simulated, I am not sure it would be for the actual CPU chipset.

PMCha

Thks for info.

[Custom built NAS for future proofing DSM 7.0]

I have a good idea, my system is working well on the existing hardware  running 6.2.2, I just have to switch the current processor A12-9800(65W) to 9800E(35W) that will solve the power consumption issue without building another system. The power consump. improves by less than 50%. also the performance does suffer by about 10%.(cpubenchmark 5521 to 5083). There you go. Thks everyone.

BTW a used 9800E costs about US$55 on Ebay, cheap.

Thanks to Jens in personally answering my query, and also to Haydibe for your CPU suggestions.

I need to read through carefully your response if I don't understand hope you can answer them. I am not a major IT in terms what is possible and not possible and networking, etc. and also not right across with most of the latest IT technology.

[Custom built NAS for future proofing DSM 7.0]

Hi,

I have installed DSM 6.2.2 using 1.04b loader on a branded machine based on AMD A12-9800. It worked very well however the

power consumption is very high around 100W using 2 units of 3.5" HD.

 

I propose to custom built a system based on a number of POSSIBLE alternative processors, j3455, j1900 , j3355 or 3855U. Synology  uses the 1st

3 processors before I think I can still use the 1.04b loader. I think the DSM 6.2.2 and future updates like DSM 7.0 will run on

these processors. The chances of DSM 6.2.2 will run on my NEW hardware will also depend on the other compatible hardware that comes with the 

processor. What processor should I use? I can purchase a Fanless j1900 based PC at a good price at the moment.

 

You guys may like to suggest a things to look for before I embark on this project. Or direct me to the spreadsheet that shows all

compatible hardware for loader 1.04b and DSM 6.2.2.

Thanks.

[Upgrade from 6.1.7 to 6.2.1?]

Thanks I will give a try.

[Upgrade from 6.1.7 to 6.2.1?]

I installed on my 2nd hand i5-3470S used PC with 1.02b mod loader emulating DS3615xs platform to DSM 6.1.7 version.

This system works very well.

I am hesitating to upgrade to version 6.2.1 as it may cause hardware incompatibility and causes the system to hang.

Other than checking the my hardware for compatibility one by one  to DSM 6.2.1 or without checking should I try to try/proceed to upgrade from 6.1.7 to 6.2.1 

because 6.2.1 is major upgrade?

hello,

 

thank you very much and I think that this benchmark tool is very useful.

 

I have only problem with CPU test. In my case this  if=/dev/zero is on HDD. Speeds are same like with HDD tests. 

CPU test:

piotr@BM-918:/$ dd if=/dev/zero bs=2M count=1024 | md5sum
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out
2147483648 bytes (2.1 GB) copied, 24.5877 s, 87.3 MB/ 

HDD test:

2684354560 bytes (2.7 GB) copied, 30.1107 s, 89.1 MB/s

 

Maybe it would be possible to run Geekbench4 directly on Xpenology?

 

Asrock J3455M

 

 

If you are using the J3455 on Asrock the CPU performance I find is little low, I think you should be getting about CPU=255Mb/s.

[Benchmarking your synology]

My contributions:

System 1

i5-3470 using 1.02b mod loader emulating DS3615XS using DSM 6.1.7

CPU:582 Mb/s

System 2

AMD A12-9800 using 1.04b loader emulating DS918+ using DSM 6.2.2

CPU:633 Mb/s

The performance of both CPUs are comparable.

I didn't test the HDD cos it depends on the type and made/brand of the hard drives. From assessing the results above,  the CPU performance does not really improve that much if you use  i3 to i5. Celeron J3XXX or j1XXX is clearly inferior and the performance is about 1/2 of  i3 or i5.

[Success with Branded PCs Installation]

I have built 2 branded systems I like to share with you both successfully implemented.

 

1.  HP Ultra Small Form Factor . model:Elite Ultra 8300, uses i5-3470 cpu

    This model I have to update the Bios to the lastest Bios in order it can read the USB loader. Earlier Bios 2.08 did not work.

    I have to use loader 1.02b mod I think the not modified may work as well. Since the is not a Haswell I could make either 1.03b

   or 1.04b to work. I manage to run DSM 6.17 it seems to work quite well.

 

2. Lenovo 510s, Small Form Factor desktop, using AMD A12-9800 CPU. This model is cheap derivative  of the more expensive Thinkcentre.

   I use loader 1.04b and the latest DSM 6.2.2. This hardware and software combo  worked very well and quite fast. The only downside is the power 

  consumption of the total system, about 100W with 2*3.5" 2T each hard drives installed.

 

I am happy with my systems setup  and many thanks to Jun for for both loaders and plenty of assistance from watching installation videos

at Youtube.

Hi Fellows,

I am new here however I have installed 2 systems one based on 1.02b mod loader using 3615XS,V6.17and another 1.04b loader using DS918+ V6.2.2 using i3 3470 and AMD A12-9800 respectively.  Both systems work fine. I am not sure what software you guys use to test the system's performance, please direct me and/or name the Syn. pkg used or using an external s/w pkgs used.  A simple direction on how to use it would help, Thanks.
