Is it safe to store a NAS with installed HDDs?
Hey all,
I recently got a Synology DS923+ for someone as a gift, and installed the drives/ran initial setup so that it will be good to go when they open it.
My question is - is it safe to repackage the unit in the box that it arrived in now that the drives are installed? It is almost all cardboard while the NAS itself came wrapped in a light cloth material
I don't see why it wouldn't be , but I wanted to make sure before I bricked some 20 TB drives
Thank you in advance!
How are you sending the NAS to your friend? Strongly advise to avoid posting it, but either way, put as much vibration padding as you can. Harddisks can be affected/damaged by vibration and shocks, so you want to keep them as protected as possible.
Where find the 923+?
I got it on amazon
Yes, but make sure it's super well-padded and that all the drives are securely locked.
If the drives are mounted firmly then it should be fine with proper outside packaging.
