Hello,

When I started with my Synology DiskStation 207+ I had the problem with Windows losing the connection to my shared folders on the DiskStation.
Sometimes it simply just said that I used an incorrect username and password - eventhough I had written the correct username and password when I set up my network drive.

I found out that by creating a user on the DiskStation with the same username and password as my Windows User the problem stopped. You actually don’t have to logon to the drives after this “fix” – you can just simply access it by adding the network drive or by the default network address. Of cource you have to give the new user the correct rights, but after this is done it works perfectly.

This way you can also control the different users on your Windows-machine and give them different access on the Synology DiskStation. Easy as hell :-)

Have a nice try !

Hello everybody,

After a long time with no posts I am finally back. I have also finished my Project: Silent Synology DS207+.
This post will explain how I finally got my Synology DS207+ silent and my experiences duing this process.

I have earlier posted two posts about this subject – PART ONE & TWO.
I suggest that you read these two posts:
 - Project: Silent Synology DS207+ – PART ONE
 - Project: Silent Synology DS207+ – PART TWO

In this final part I have only done one thing – changed the fan. And guess what… I solved my last problem with the noise-level!

The fan I put in the DiskStation was the PAPST 612F/2L, 60x60x15, 16dB(A). I could not find any supplier in Denmark having the fan, so I was forced to purchase it from a foreign country instead. I bougt the fan from Kustom PCs. You can find the fan here: http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/acatalog/info_2558.html

I also bought some extra cable to connect the fan with and some Rubber anti-vibe mat for a 60mm fan.

Because of my earlier mistake on breaking the three pins on the Synology-board I had to solder the extra connecter-cable to the three pins. That way I can change the fan without having to solder it on everytime.

I will not do a step-by-step guide as it is practially already explained how to change the fan in my PART ONE. I have attached some pictures to this post showing you “step-by-step” how I did the change.

I have been running with this new fan for a couple of weeks and I am very happy about the change. The Synology DiskStation is practially 100 % silent. You can hear very little fan-noise, but you have to be close to the DiskStation.

I hope you will have the same good experience with this as I have had. :-)
