Adjusted the LED indicator for drives' health status. When a drive's health status is critical or failing, the indicator will show static orange. Fixed an issue where users couldn't expand the LUNs on ext4 volumes that are already mapped to iSCSI Targets.

I ended up using a BC547B instead of the BC847B simply because I couldn’t easily obtain the SMD version – and from my research, those two transistors are virtually identical. The only challenge with the 547 was bending the pins into position, but once you manage to do that it’s fairly trivial to solder it on. Compared to the fixed 16 thread, 16 queue max workload we performed in the 100% 4k write test, our mixed workload profiles scale the performance across a wide range of thread/queue combinations. In these tests, we span workload intensity from 2 threads and 2 queue up to 16 threads and 16 queue. Systems configured in iSCSI performed better overall, and the top spot went to the DS1515+ loaded with Reds. The DS1513+ loaded with Seagate drives using the SMB protocol was the slowest overall. Fixed an issue where Universal Search couldn't find the data in shared folders on volumes that were created on DSM 7.1.1. Fixed an issue where deleted files from the home folder couldn't be found in the recycle bin if deleted via SMB.Not to use actively… Just to replace the many DOA units that died over the years, so they could access old cases and re-save the data on cheap USB drives (2x drives for “redundency”). All that, just to ensure the data can be retrieved / produced in the future.

Serve as a cross platform service – bridging connections and transfers of files between Mac and Windows systems over the networkFeaturing the flagship apps, hardware options and compatibility with both Windows and Mac systems that Synology is famous for, you will struggle to find a better Synology NAS. It is still very much in my top 5 Synology NAS devices currently and with whatever Synology uncover for 2017 as he year goes on, it is safe to say that this device lived up to the expectations it promised. Fantastic Plex support, SHR RAID configurations, Excellent VM coverage, Surveillance software and hardware support, everything a home or small business user needs in their 1 st of 2nd NAS server. You can learn more about this process here Synology DS218+:16GB RAM upgrade how-to and see the detailed guide with images here. Fixed an issue where reconnecting via CIFS in File Station might fail under unstable connection environment.
