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
I won’t be using it for anything else except for media streaming to the Apple TVs and for network storage of files for our PCs on the home network. It can’t run Plex as the software for it isn’t compatible with mine.īut as per everyone else’s suggestions I’ve set it up in Infuse with SMB.
I believe this will show more apps to install, specifically third party apps. It should be in the Settings section for Package Center. You may have to modify your Synology Package settings for Beta apps and non-Synology package certificates. What model Synology NAS did you get? I’ve been using them for years, from a DS212 to DS918+’s (server racks for my McIntosh Labs home theatre 4K-8K content though).
