You can now schedule a Data Scrub, which includes (1) RAID parity re-checks, and (2) full BTRFS bit rot (more commonly called Silent Data Corruption in the industry), and (3) SMART extended which scan every sector, and remap/fixes anything wrong in the background. This is incorrect starting with DSM 6.2.4, and further enhanced in DSM 7. However, it will no longer be able to deeply check the New Disk." Have fun!Ĭlick to expand.RE: "You can only take advantage of CoW FS such as BTRFS after initialization. You may be better prepared than I was?īUT: In the end, its all pretty amazing and cool! And on another personal note, I would like to know your intended use case for your nas. I am just learning all this now, thats the only reason I am bring it to your attention.I wish I would have known a little more earlier on myself.

So when you start, read up on snapshots (which require BTRFS so use that, not EXT4) and Hyperbackup. Then after you get all set up, you get to think about backups. I had to re-create my folders to enable it if its not selected on the initial process which literally checking a box during the creation of said folder. When you create your shared folders, enable the integrity check (it says something about data scrubbing) and I initially didn't do that because I didn't know what that was, its a feature that helps protect against bit rot, you can setup a schedule to run once a month or whenever and afaik it corrects problems when it can.so good stuff. I am sure the gurus here will correct me if I am wrong. I am no expert, but I will interject my 2 cents here because I just went through this, and you mentioned bit rot. I believe you can still start using the pool immediately however, I did not, I let the process finish before actually copying data to my nas since it was only a day anyway.ymmv. When you create your storage pool(s) that process will take about a day ( depending the size of your drives) to complete, and DSM thoroughly checks your drives in the background during that process, there is even a setting that allocates more cpu cycles to the process to complete faster in storage manager if I remember right. Thanks any comments and suggestions appreciated.

I Also need to scan my WD passport external Hdds that I will be offloading all files onto the NAS, but I think they may have some bad sectors and or bitrot? Any software suggestions to use to check hard drive health?

How would I go about scanning these NAS drives for bad sectors in windows 10 from my laptop? Would I need to buy one of those HDD adapters or can I run something like HD TUNE from the disks inside the NAS?

I read that DSM doesn’t allow to scan for bad sectors? Now before I setup the NAS I want to make sure that the drives are healthy and I want to scan them to check for bad sectors and or other errors.

And to go with my 920 I purchased four 6 TB WD RED PLUS drives. But I will learn as I go and make many mistakes I’m sure. SO FAR I FEEL OVERWHELMED and maybe this was too much for a beginner like me. I purchased my very first NAS a ds920+ to get away from my reliance on cloud storage. Hello I am a complete beginner when it comes to NAS and storage and network related things in general.
