It does the job for Cloud Station but if you try to do more (Video, Music, iSCSI, …) the processor and the memory reach very very quickly their limits. Yet, DS411J is far to be a Rocket! I have mine since 2005 (about) and always been disappointed with its performances. Universal Search disappeared from Installed Packages. Even Synology support could not give me a solution. I did scratch my head for months before I found this information. I hope this helps you get your old Synology NAS back up and running smoothly!įirst thanks a lot for this tip. It makes things pretty easy, even for a beginner. If you’re a Windows user unfamiliar with how to telnet or ssh into a device I highly recommend the program Putty. Hopefully they leave this loophole open to get rid of the useless software that turns their old device into a paperweight. Remember that the next time you update the Synology DSM software you’ll need to do the same thing again. Here is a current screenshot of my DS411J’s resource monitor running the latest DSM 6.1.3-15152 with all unnecessary services uninstalled, including SynoFinder. Either way, once this is run your NAS will actually run pretty decently again. If you are told you don’t have the authority to run the command try:Īnd then enter the password when prompted. Once you log in, and it might take a while due to the CPU being pegged, the command that you need is:
The good news is, if you’re willing to get your nerd on and do some command line work by using telnet or ssh to access your DS411J you can bring it back from the dead and speed it up to very usable levels. In all of their wisdom, Synology has made this new “feature” that basically kills the older NAS boxes a part of the operating system that you cannot remove through their web interface. The recent DSM 6.X firmware has forced a new “feature” to the Synology ecosystem called “Universal Search.” Well, it turns out that older devices, like the DS411J absolutely cannot handle the CPU resources needed for the Universal Search to index the box and slows the box to an unusable state. Over time, Synology updates their device software and as the updates grew further away from the DS411J’s manufacturing date the more the device slowed down. I didn’t need a NAS with a lot of bells and whistles, I just wanted something that was reliable and could stream one video at a time to my TV. I’ve been using a Synology DS411J for a little over 5 and a half years and overall am quite pleased with the performance for a low-power device.
