No more ext3 supportĪnd the ditching of ext3 - not to be confused with ext4, which DSM 7 does support - might be the biggest headache of all. So if you assumed that you could carry on NASsing (I made up that word) your merry way the same as you have in the past five years, you’d likely be disappointed. Right off the bat, keep in mind that it won’t run everything that works in DSM 6. The longer you use it, the more you’ll find that DSM 7 makes sense. It uses fewer resources for itself than DSM 6.Īs a result, it makes managing any supported server, including a low-end one, a real pleasure.

It proved in my trial to be a lighter-weight operating system across the board. So, overall, DSM 7 looks, feels, and runs better. And there are more handy tools for home and business users. The storage management system has been significantly improved with better SSD cache control, faster RAID rebuild.

The QuickConnect remote management feature now automatically gets a free SSL certificate.

The support for two-step authentication where, among the options, you can use a phone app to approve the access via a tap on the screen.

There’s also much better security support, including:

DSM 7’s security feature now includes two-step verification enforced on an individual account or a user group. Or QuickConnect is now part of External Access, which also includes DDNS and Router Configuration.īut with the improved search function, you’ll be able to find every setting you need without knowing exactly where it lies. Note that things have moved around a little bit.įor example, the Share Folder Sync function - an excellent feature to sync data between two or more servers in real-time - is now part of the File Services instead of its own section.

Specifically, the Control Panel now has fewer items, yet, you can get the settings done more quickly. What’s more, things are more organized and streamlined - you can get things done via fewer steps. And tasks within the server itself have vastly improved all around. On top of that, all changes take less time to apply. (OK, if you run a really low-end server, this might not apply.) This responsiveness is a consistent improvement - you’ll experience it in all servers, no matter the specs or storage types. Even the login process is much shorter - it’s almost instantaneous. The improvementsįor one, when working with the server itself, you’ll note that the interface is now significantly more responsive. But still, there is plenty to love about the new OS. The point is don’t expect DSM 7 to make data move between your NAS server and network devices faster magically.

Still, you’ll need a Multi-Gig switch and a similarly capable computer to experience that.Īnd even then, keep in mind that most NAS servers use regular hard drives with the technical cap speed of SATA 3, 6Gbps. Some servers, like the DS1621+ or DS1618+, do have the option for 10Gbps via a PCIe add-on adapter. The reason is a server’s network ports generally limit data speeds, and home Synology NAS so far are all Gigabit. So far, I’ve seen no discernible difference in file copying speeds between DSM 7 and DSM 6. It has a host of improvements, most notably in the user experience.īut let’s get one thing out of the way: You won’t see faster network data throughputs with it. And in my up-to-now experience, the new release is a win. OK, I’m one of those who couldn’t wait to try DSM 7.0 out. Synology DSM 7: An overall major improvement with some surprises

Next, I selected that same PNG file, and dragged it to a folder for which I has read/write access.

The zip was created and uploaded to Google Drive and the File Station display updated to show the new zipfile. I selected a random PNG file and chose to compress it to zip using Synology's File manager. Background: I mounted Google Drive to an empty Synology folder.
