Synology restricts choice of hard disks for new Plus NAS (lemmy.skumring.com)

Synology seems to further favor their "own" (re-labeled, Toshiba- and Seagate-produced) drives instead of the numerous other once which still appear in the official HCL like we knew it over the years, starting with the 25-Plus-models.

Does anyone know what the underlying filesystem is on DSM? The ability to easily replace disks with a degree of redundancy across the 4 bays is the biggest plus point for Synology although I have no doubt all the bits underneath are the Linux storage stack.

Filesystem is either EXT4 or BTRFS, but the partitioning and redundancy from their SHR system is a combination of RAID1/5 and LVM.

mine is btrfs, ds1618+

[–] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago (2 children)

that probably does not have redundancy

I can lose 2 drives.
