All's been going well, except for the case fan.<br /><br /> Last time I powered it up, there was a cthonic grinding sound, so I thought a wire was being hit by the fan blades. It stopped after a few seconds, so didn't think much about it 'til the NAS started beeping and a notification popped up via the web UI saying the fan had stopped working.<br /><br /> After taking the fan out, it's obviously a bearing problem, it'll spin a bit, then get stuck and the motor can't overcome it. I've got a replacement fan from work, which I'll stick in tonight. Unfortunately I've torn through an aluminium sticker to get the cable out. I thought the sticker was there to hold the cable in place in lieu of a cable tie, but after reading Synology's replacement guide, there's a bit about replacing the sticker after putting a new fan in (the attached pic is from the guide). I'm guessing it's there as some sort of grounding for the ethernet port, but I'm not sure. There's enough unbroken sticker to go from the case to the top of the port, so it'll still make the connection.<br /><br /> Is it important? Can I live without it, or will it mean the end of mankind as we know it?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <div class="edit_text">EDITED: 28 Feb 2017 17:01 by GRAPHITONE</div> </div> <div class="message_attachments"> <span>Attachments:</span> <ul> <li><span class="image attach"></span><a href="get_attachment.php?webtag=DEFAULT&hash=8bddc4a0eba605df8054d5a6d85926c7&filename=foil.jpg" target="_blank">foil.jpg</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41889.1&return_msg=41889.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41889.1"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41889_2"></a><div class="message" id="message_41889_2"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Manthorp<span class="message_time">28 Feb 2017 19:58</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: graphitone <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 28 Feb 2017 21:33"></span></span> <span class="message_count">2 of 17</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41889.2">41889.2</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41889.1#a41889_1" target="_self">41889.1</a></div> <div class="message_body"> If it was me, I wouldn't risk too much.

However the box is doing some thumbnail creation (weirdly called converting) on the 25000+ images I've got in there. Looking on Synology's forum it's cos of the pre-installed image software and it'll go and create a separate thumbnail for each picture. I've tried disabling the software, but the process stubbornly refuses to stop. It's not really a problem, but it's pegging the CPU at 99% and it looks like it's going to take a few days to finish.<div class="edit_text">EDITED: 1 Mar 2017 08:06 by GRAPHITONE</div> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41889.4&return_msg=41889.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41889.4"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41889_5"></a><div class="message" id="message_41889_5"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: graphitone<span class="message_time">28 Feb 2017 23:09</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 1 Mar 2017 01:26"></span></span> <span class="message_count">5 of 17</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41889.5">41889.5</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41889.1#a41889_3" target="_self">41889.3</a></div> <div class="message_body"> <span class="emoticon e_bounce" title="(bounce)"><span class="e__">(bounce)</span></span></div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41889.5&return_msg=41889.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41889.5"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41889_6"></a><div class="message" id="message_41889_6"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX)<span class="message_time"> 1 Mar 2017 01:28</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: graphitone <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 1 Mar 2017 06:29"></span></span> <span class="message_count">6 of 17</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41889.6">41889.6</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41889.1#a41889_4" target="_self">41889.4</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Yeah our qnap NAS defaulted to something similar, luckily I managed to intercept before it got out of hand.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41889.6&return_msg=41889.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41889.6"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41889_7"></a><div class="message" id="message_41889_7"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Manthorp<span class="message_time"> 1 Mar 2017 10:58</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: graphitone <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 1 Mar 2017 11:43"></span></span> <span class="message_count">7 of 17</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41889.7">41889.7</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41889.1#a41889_4" target="_self">41889.4</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Well that's a prize pain in the arse, to be sure.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41889.7&return_msg=41889.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41889.7"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41889_8"></a><div class="message" id="message_41889_8"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: graphitone<span class="message_time"> 1 Mar 2017 11:48</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Manthorp <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 1 Mar 2017 17:14"></span></span> <span class="message_count">8 of 17</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41889.8">41889.8</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41889.1#a41889_7" target="_self">41889.7</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Yep, and having looked at the photo gallery app it comes with, I'm gonna get rid of it, as I'll never use it.
