A Look InsideIt's time now to strip down the NAS and discover what components it hides inside the casing. As we already stated on the previous page, unlikely to DS412+, Synology made the dismantling of the DS212j a far easier process since you must do it at least once to install the necessary disk(s). The PCIe card that holds the second SATA port and power connector is really small. The first SATA port is soldered directly onto the main PCB. The 3pin fan header. The CPU has such low TDP that it doesn't require a heatsink.
Issued by: Hardware Development Group, Synology ® Inc. Replace for DS214se, DS213air, DS213j, DS212j, DX213 Note: DS214se is hereunder the common example. 3.1 Dismantle the enclosure 3.1.1 Release the two (2) screws (Marked by the red circles) on the rear side of the right cover. 39 Rear Panel Right Cover. I built a few DIY solutions but in the end brought a Synology DS212j, uses. Installed Debian without a GUI, set up samba and as backup storage I was away. This company. Been rebooted several times when power / UPS failed. There are a bunch of apps for it too, can even use it as an Asterisk box.
It has 256KB L2 cache and supports two SATA ports, a single PCI Express x1 and one USB 2.0 port. Next to it resides an STMicroelectronics 25P32V6P which stores the firmware of the DS212j while a little further away we find an IT 430F2111 IC.
The 1Gb DDR2 RAM IC is provided by Samsung and is soldered directly onto the mainboard. The USB 2.0 HUB Controller is a Genesys Logic IC.
The red colored polymer caps are provided by while the smaller purple ones are made by (Sanyo). Both are Japanese companies so these caps should be of high quality.
The front panel PCB that holds the four LED indicators and the On/Off switch is connected to the mainboard through a ribbon cable. The fan is provided by Y.S. Tech and its model number is FD129225LL-N (12V, 0.12A, 1900RPM, 36.3CFM). According to Y.S Tech this fan is equipped with bearings, high quality bearings which have much longer lifespan than plain sleeve bearings.
I believe that is caused by the speed, or lack of, of your NAS's CPU. As Plex is processing your media it uses ffmpeg to grab a screenshot from each of the videos you add and that can take some time to perform and during this time it tries to add the poster but because the processor is being used to it's maximum, it simply times out the personal media agent or freebase agent. Make sure you have an entry in control panel/security/firewall that opens all ports. There could also be a problem with the personal media agent and/or the freebase agent, so check and make sure you have them selected in the settings. If you wait until Plex has completely finished adding new media (the 'Plex new transcode' process is no longer active in the resource monitor) and then do a refresh of your library, Plex may then add the needed posters for you automatically. The VideoStation works a little faster because it does not use ffmpeg to grab screenshots, this is a feature only found in Plex. It is a nice feature if you don't want posters etc.
And it is used for the individual episodes in a TV Series. It's unfortunate that your NAS is not powerful enough to cope with all the operations that Plex uses. Have you considered installing PMS on your PC/Mac/Linux box and using the NAS just for storage? You will find that the Plex experience is much better that way.
