[DSM 7 Feedbacks]

Hey!
Thank you for recommending that awesome "Friend Loader", it worked, really quick and easy build. So now i begin some testing on BareMetal
Question: I have in that PC one NVME drive and DSM7 is not able to recognize it. Is there anyway (preferably easy) to make it work? 
 

[DSM 7 Feedbacks]

Hi Guys!

 

I wanted to ask few questions about redpill loader.

 

1. it is worth it to run it on BareMetal?

 

2. is it reliable for basic tasks?

 

3. Whats yours experience with DSM7 on BareMetal?

 

Some background info:

 

i used Juns loader BareMetal DSM 6 for maybe year or so, with absolutely no problems really liked it, inspired me to someday buy real synology, chosing between some of the better ones when i save up some money, this NAS system is Awesome!

 

I tried DSM 7 RedPill on VMs, Oracle virtual box, ProxMox, was testing camera recordings from survailance station, multiple users downloading some files at once, Raid funcionality, just basic stuff, and it runs Awesome. Everything is working great BUT only tried the VMs. 

 

So in reality the question is should i migrate my old NAS DSM6 to DSM7?

 

on my DSM6 i use only basic functions:

-Synology Moments (backing up photos from Phone)

-General Backing up Files manualy

-Plex

-Camera Recording for my home door camera

2x 1TB Raid 1

3x 250gb HDD Raid5

1x old ssd for speedup but never noticed difference 

it is old PC i had around 12years picking dust, gave it second life.

 

BIG Thank you for your answers

[My computer lifespan is going to end]

im scared a want be as much ready as possible, because some time ago i accidentaly updated and restarted the system, it never boots up after that... found thread on this forum that i needed fix USB loader because its corrupted so i reflashed it, boots up normaly, system asked me if i want to restore system and files, so i click yes, nothing just only reboot and loader again ...corrupted,, and second option was that i insert new clean HDD instal DSM and then i turn off plug in my old HDDs and click restore... again nothing just reboot and corrupted loader on USB.... tryed both ways, only corrupted loader no progress... so i format both HDD drives and install it again, lucky it had not much files on them

-but i think it was because the newer not supported version was still on the HDDs so it maybe tryed to restore that idk...

 

hope you understand my english

Even if you take the drives from the crashed PC (by crash I mean any other hardware except the drives of course) and install them to a real Synology or XPEnology it will migrate with no issue.

like imagine this... my actual PC crashed, so i take out both HDDs (i have Raid1) put them in new PC reconfigure my Loader on USB, boot it up and it should just run? or i will need to reinstal same version of DSM and it asks me if i want to restore or something?

 

Thank you very much for your time

Sure is possible.  Or another old PC with good specs (like you have now.. if I understood correctly). Then set both to sync folders and you'll be ready for either to crash.

dont wanna run 2 PC, for now i have just one, now i want to prepare for worst case scenario 

[My computer lifespan is going to end]

Hi Guys, been using Xpenology for a long while now, even considering buyng real synology, i have it on old computer (maybe 10years old) but with good specs.

the biggest fear i have, what if my machine suddenly decide to stop working? is possible to instal DSM on a new PC? same version of DSM... IDK, wanna be ready for that situation,,

any of you had similiar experience?

 

sorry if its in wrong section, was unable to find this kind of question, acc made just now

 

Thank you
