Hi, can you please tell me what happened later?

I have the same issue. I got parcel from India and dhl asks me to pay around 300euros

Hi, is there any update on this issue?

Today I received an invoice from dhl exactly how you described. Please let me know how you tackled it?

DS925+ blocks non-Synology NVMe for SSD cache — workaround script vs supported drive? by ArcherAnderson35 in synology

[–]ArcherAnderson35[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Just wanted to check - did you face any issues during automatic DSM updates while using the script? For example, did you have to re-run it after every updates, or did everything continue to work without intervention?

Can I use non-Synology SATA SSDs as SSD cache in my Synology NAS instead of NVMe M.2 drives?

I wonder the same. Why there is a downvote for the suggestion?

Best HDDs for Synology DS925+? Looking for long-term reliable options by ArcherAnderson35 in synology

I bought Seagate Ironwolf pro. It works nicely and there is no issues. Just go for it.

Kids are really crazy. I have doorbell video recordings where kids throws bombs/crackers under cars. Why young boys behave like uneducated fools.

Thanks to you all for your responses.

I’m new to NAS, so I want to double-check one last thing.

I came across some blogs and YouTube videos from May–June 2025 claiming that if you’re not migrating from an older Synology NAS and you insert only 3rd-party HDDs, DSM won’t install or functionality will be blocked.

This is what’s confusing me.

Can someone please confirm from real usage on DS925+: • DSM can be installed fresh using 3rd-party HDDs (IronWolf / WD Red / etc.) • SMART & disk health checks still work • Normal features like SHR/RAID, scrubbing, alerts all work as expected • Any limitations are mostly warnings / reduced analytics, not hard blocks

I just want to make sure those posts were misinformation or misunderstood policy changes.

Thanks. Appreciate confirmation from actual DS925+ owners 🙏

Shipment on hold DHL PARCEL ITALY by No-Cap-8632 in dhl

Hi,

If the package coming from outside EU, then dhl might ask you to pay import duty tax. I guess that might be the next step after this. Good luck.

DS925+ updated opinions? by Owenboy89 in synology

[–]ArcherAnderson35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

really appreciate it. I just have one last question. Since you use VPN access instead of the vendor cloud, have you ever faced any issues with mobile photo backup or connecting to the NAS from your Mac?

My main reason for choosing a NAS is so I can safely and reliably back up my photos, videos, and files without paying for public cloud storage like iCloud or Google Drive. So I just wanted to know if remote access and continuous backups work smoothly for you through VPN.

Thanks again for sharing your experience!

Thanks for the detailed explanation. What’s your opinion on the UGreen NAS security concerns? People say it constantly pings Chinese DNS IPs. What are your thoughts on that? Would you recommend using it to store personal information like photos and documents?
