I'll receive my first NAS (a Synology DS413) and three hard disks tomorrow. Of course I'd like to check if everything's fine with the disks before setting up RAID and migrating my data. Unfortunately, I don't have a PC to put them in; I've got only notebooks.
Can I somehow do this with the NAS firmware? And what kind of tests should I run, apart from S.M.A.R.T.?
Answer
The Storage Manager will show the SMART status of each disk. Log into the web interface and go to Main Menu > Storage Manager > HDD Management.
You can also schedule a more in-depth SMART test using the Test Scheduler Option on this screen.
