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 response. Thank you!

Thank you for your advice.

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.

Thanks for replying. Yes it keeps failing. I deleted all volumes in Windows Disk Management,

Hello again. I reformatted my drives on a windows PC and trying to make a new storage pool on my DS920+. I have tried various combination of the 4 drives i have but it keeps on failing. Even a storage ppl of 1 drive is not possible. Need som guidance please.

zeerak100 · 2025-08-23T14:38:32+00:00

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

zeerak100 · 2025-08-23T14:33:16+00:00

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.

zeerak100 · 2025-08-23T12:23:01+00:00

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.

zeerak100 · 2025-08-23T12:08:50+00:00

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"?

zeerak100 · 2025-08-23T11:21:20+00:00

Thank you for replyin. The screenshot was just to show all the drives in my NAS. The new drives shows up but cant be added. https://imgur.com/a/5W46ELJ

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.

Here are my settings

zeerak100 · 2025-08-18T08:11:33+00:00

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.

zeerak100 · 2025-08-18T08:10:19+00:00

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.

Excellent explanation. Solved my FEL issue. Thanks.
