Synology NAS. Replacing failed Hard Drive RAID 5 - Project

Received a call for assistance. My customer mention that his Synology NAS isn't functioning well
The NAS is beeping non-stop and It has warning message with "Volume 1" degraded
I went down to have a check on it. Notice that 1 of the disk has failed
Luckily it has Data Protection turned on. Brought a replacement disk with the same brand and storage (TB) to replace it
Migrated his Hard Disk into a new NAS and Rebuild the RAID 5 array
Added one more disk into the Storage Pool now it has 10.8TB of storage space
Enabled the option to auto schedule Data Scrubbling as to lower the risk of data loss in the event of a drive failure and Data Consistency

Dell Inspiron 5468 - Laptop Repair (Memory, Ram Issue and SSD Upgrade)

Went down to a Office located in Raffles Place, Singapore for a Laptop Repair
The Laptop has issues. It will keep popup the error message "Your Computer has a memory problem" and than Restart and stuck at the (BSOD) Blue Screen of Death
I than run a Windows memory diagnostic tool check and found out to be the Ram incompatibility
Inside the PC. I notice that the 2 Ram has different speed. DDR4 2666 and DDR4 2400
Suspected it to be the different speed that cause it to malfunction
Replaced both of it with the same speed DDR4 2666. This fixed the (BSOD) Blue Screen of Death and error message from poping up
Their Office also suggested to upgrade the SSD with a bigger storage from 250GB to 500GB
I got an Samsung 870 EVO 500GB did the upgrade and than did a Disk Cloning
