December 2, 20214 yr Hello, I do not have a dedicated server, instead I am using an extra laptop. Yes, I know, I plan to get an actual server in the weeks to come. My question is, how can I get Unraid to recognize my Synology NAS drives for the mean time? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
December 2, 20214 yr Community Expert Unraid IS NOT RAID. Are you thinking of booting the Unraid OS on your laptop? How did you plan to attach these drives to your laptop? If they can't be accessed as separate drives Unraid won't be able to work with them.
December 2, 20214 yr Author I'm well aware Unraid is not RAID. As my question states, I have a Synology NAS with 2 3.5's. Can they be accessed by Unraid that is running off a USB attached to a separate latptop?
December 2, 20214 yr Why not just connect the Synology through the network with the Unassigned Devices Plugin ?
December 2, 20214 yr Author It is connected to the network but the drives do not appear on list. It has to be because they’re different file systems
December 3, 20214 yr Community Expert If you are using Unassigned Devices plugin to mount remote shares on another NAS, it doesn't matter at all what filesystem they are since accessing the filesystem is left up to the other NAS. Just like you can access Unraid shares from a Windows computer even though Unraid filesystems aren't supported by Windows.
