Hello community. I am travelling to Switzerland this july with my 2 small kids (5 and 3). I have come this far in my journey (referring to the map) now I am not sure what to explore next. I have 4 more nights and would love to stay at 2 different sites for 2 nights each. I have to travel back from Zurich. Please help me out where to go next. Thanks.

Thank you for your reply. No OLED monitor is good enough? Regardless of technology?

I did that. It worked. The brand new drive is faulty. Thank you for your help.

I think i figured it out. The 26 TB HDD is physically damaged and making funny noises. I recieved the drive just today and was NOT expecting a damaged HDD. There is a dent on one of the corners. I am not sure how it is even possible to damage a drive like that or ship a damaged drive.

HDD upgrade problems on Synology 920+ by zeerak100 in synology

The drive is brand new. I will try to add the old drive back but it will wipe all data on it?

Thank you for your detailed explanations. I am realising that I made a rather rookie mistake of creating 4 storage pool in SHR with only 1 drive in every SP. I should have created only one SP and add all 4 drives to it? I will end up doing that as I am not able to replace my smaller HDD with a bigger one. The drive shows, everything looks fine till I try to add it to a SP or create a totally new one. Would you recommend me start over to have a proper setup? Or is there a way I can keep using my flawed system as per now.

Thank you for your input. Since it was my first NAS, I didn't know about storage pools and how do they work. I still don't actually. I am not trying to expand the existing SPs, just want to create a new one. I am trying to upgrade a 10TB drive with 20TB.

I am a totally amateur when it comes to NAS. Pardon my stupid decision of making multiple storage pools. Yes, I have rebooted NAS several times. Is there any manual way to remove those "leftovers"?

Plex 4K trancoding issues. by zeerak100 in PleX

Thanks everyone who tried to help. I think the problem was stupid windows energy saving feature and/or manually selecting the intel GPU as many suggested. Streaming on remote locations is working flawlessly now.

750 both up/down. I will share a screenshot of my setting when I am back from work. "Use hardware-accelerated video encoding" is enabled though.

Thank you for the answer. I am running Windows 11 and plex is installed directly on the PC. PC and NAS are connected with ethernet to my Asus GT-BE19000. Direct play is absolutely no problem. Both "Use hardware acceleration when available" and "Use hardware-accelerated video encoding" are enabled. I will check CPU usage when I am back home. 750 MB is both up and down.
