DS 415 play in 2022
I use hashdeep. You have to install ipkgui on Synology and then md5deep through that which includes hashdeep (or just use md5deep). You can read up on hashdeep/md5deep here in the docs folder: https://github.com/jessek/hashdeep/

How do I manage years of data?
Started to be able to bring some order after I discovered hashdeep. Basically I started from a reasonably clean disk with folders to sort files, created lists of hashes using hashdeep, then used it to scan all my existing disks for unknown files. With the correct flags hashdeep can list all files it finds on a disk that it has not in its lists already. That help a lot to figure out what is worth wasting time on. It also is useful because every now and then that makes me realize the copy of some old file I have is broken (probably usually because it was stored on some CDROM that was no longer good).
