It also supports the Btrfs file system, which offers a few notable advantages. Synology supports EXT4, which is the file system used by Linux platforms around the world.
Aside from redundancy, an element of striping also helps increase the read performance for the NAS. RAID F1 came about with the dropping price of flash storage, and you should use it with arrays of flash storage devices. Aside from that, they are mostly similar, with a single drive acting as the parity storage device. RAID 5 requires the use of at least 3 drives to work. SHR is similar to RAID 5 but works with as few as 2 storage drives. They also introduce a few proprietary RAID systems known as Synology Hybrid RAID (SHR) and RAID Flash 1 (F1). Synology NAS drives support most common RAID models like 0, 1, 5, and 10. There are many standard and proprietary RAID models available, which you can choose from depending on your needs. For example, when using RAID 5, you need at least 3 storage drives, one of which will be used to store parity information for data recovery if one drive fails. RAID introduces algorithms to use multiple storage drives for redundancy, thereby protecting against hardware failure. Aside from the use of NAS-specific storage drives, another contributing factor is the Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks (RAID) capability. One primary reason why we use NAS over DAS is for greater reliability. I managed to find most of the applications that came to mind easily – antivirus tool, media servers, plus file download utilities. Some are directly from Synology, but there are also many from approved third parties. It also includes a package manager (Linux style) that allows you to choose from a list of approved applications to install. I encountered no issues setting up a custom network configuration with the Synology DS718+ I used as a sample. Not overwhelming, but streamlined while being comprehensive. For those used to Windows, you’ll be pleased to know that using DSM is very similar.ĭSM offers more user-friendly network and sharing management features than Microsoft. DSM may look very basic, but it’s very similar to a fully-fledged OS. In the case of Synology, the OS used is called DiskStation Manager (DSM), a lightweight Linux-based platform. For example, it enables the NAS to power up on its own, initializes storage devices, manages network traffic, and more. NAS units need to have their own Operating System (OS) to make everything work independently. They all have processors, memory, storage controllers, network interface, and other necessary hardware. NAS are, essentially, miniature computers. Now that the background is out of the way, let’s deal with the down and dirty.
Previously, with CloudStation, the folder with synced files was located in a specific path, but now I can't find those files "offline", and I don't know where they are stored so I can access them.Ways to secure yourself and your business online. I know I can access those files from the Drive application itself, but I need to access certain data files among the synchronized ones directly from another application, and I can't find them in my phone filesystem. Is there a folder inside the phone's file system where those files are available, or am I in error and that's not the way it works? The problem is that I can't find those marked files in the phone anywhere. Now it doesn't work like that, it seems, and instead of downloading that folder and files to the phone, what I can do is mark files with "Offline Access", and I am supposed to have those files available on the phone, if I understand correctly. I used to have a folder synced to CloudStation between my computer/NAS/phone. But to work with the phone I have a question: I've been testing file sync, and it's not bad. Hi, I installed Synology Drive, replacing CloudStation, as it seems to be obsolete (I read on Synology's website that Drive will eventually replace CloudStation).
