say, looking to purchase a nas, possibly. i currently use a wd easystore usb3 drive connected to a asus 86u router and it serves my basic needs. if i take that drive and plug it in the back of a synology, will i be able to read and write to it ?? it is ntfs,
thinking a 220+, 220j, or something else, heck i don't know and it gets so confusing..

thanks for your time
(use currently is for multimedia storage)
(i could add a second easystore to the asus router, current is 4gb, looking at say 6x2 jabod for a nas, or a 8tb or 10tb easystore)
 
Can you read and write to a usb drive in ntfs format through the synology ??
 
I bought a 5 TB USB drive to attach to my Synology NAS and automatically back it up twice a week. In order to get the utility on the NAS to work I had to let the NAS format the drive and it chose to format as EXT 4.
 
got ya, thank you
so just plugging in a used ntfs usb disk, will read, but won't write. makes sense.
if formatted, then its good.

hmm, i would have to unload the information, format, then add back the information, to have it centralized,
thanks for the information..
