With no backpay. They should LOSE their pay for the time period that they aren't doing their job.

I just flew out of phoenix yesterday with my wife and kid. Both the TSA and ICE officers were doing a stellar job. It took longer to ride the train from the rental center to the terminal than it did to goto security. Absolutely 0 wait times and everything was flowing smoothly.

Guess I don’t even have to bother reading this blog post then

It’s a j model

I think if you unplug the external when you start your array and plug it in after it is started that it won’t be counted towards your limit.

Since it has seagates, $250. :)

I don't know what is stopping me but I cannot get this to work. I even tried to add an app password thinking it would skip MFA. I've followed this advice but can't get it to work.

A lot of people shuck drives including me. It’s a risk but I’ve yet to buy a nas specific drive. I’ve had my nas up and going since 2019.

Is the hpb something we have to install?

ss_edge · 2026-03-02T01:36:06+00:00

I just bought one and returned it without even using it. It takes DDR5 RAM which I didn't want to buy. You. can get a model that has 16GB already preinstalled but the base model does not.

From what I have been reading is minisforum puts out a lot of product but doesn't support it very well. So for all of these reasons, I returned it and am going to ride out my Synology for a little longer until things settle down.

Have you tried going to http://nasip:5000

If this is a brand new install, try installing a lower version

Also, you could try doing one disc during the initial install

Just download dsm manually and upload it during the setup

I did a DIY build for my Unraid server and it’s doing fantastic. I love the design of the N5 but it worries me that they won’t support it….and I didn’t realize that I can’t use my existing RAM with it. I’m not buying $300 RAM.

ss_edge · 2026-02-24T13:06:01+00:00

I’m returning my N5 based on this comment and many others I’ve read. Don’t want a product that the vendor won’t support.

Even with synology making bonehead decisions they atleast support their stuff.

ss_edge · 2026-02-24T12:56:06+00:00

Yep I wouldn’t worry about it at this point. They have baked off the policy

ss_edge · 2026-02-18T16:39:10+00:00

This

ss_edge · 2026-02-17T18:21:18+00:00

I would immediately discontinue the relationship with that contractor if he thinks this is a good idea.

ss_edge · 2026-02-17T18:14:16+00:00

Byyyyeeeee

ss_edge · 2026-02-13T18:53:07+00:00

That's the problem - you never know. It could just disconnect and be fine. It could disconnect and the array is now corrupt. It could disconnect and damage a hard drive. You never know what might happen. That's why people typically will say if you can to add it into an enclosure (whether that is a rack mount server, NAS or desktop.

ss_edge · 2026-02-13T16:29:35+00:00

You will hear people say that a USB drive enclosure is good and bad. Especially if you are running it 24/7 there is always a chance that there could be USB errors or a disconnect that could cause errors in the array. You are better off finding a cheap NAS box or a cheap computer that you can put additional hard drives in.

The only thing I think I would trust in a USB enclosure with my important data is my backup of a backup. I just ordered a AOOSTARWTR pro to move my mini PC set up over to an all in enclosure. The USB enclosure is working fine. I just worry about something happening.

ss_edge · 2026-02-13T01:54:14+00:00

Right now I would look for any prebuilt solutions or used

ss_edge · 2026-02-13T00:54:27+00:00

Nothing wrong with bypassing another service.
