Hey Synology owners, DSM 4.3 is ready for you! Disk Station Manager, or DSM, version 4.3 will be released tomorrow (08/27/13). We got the beta bits on July 9th, but this one is the final! So what’s new? Let’s touch on a few things before you head off to download the new DSM.
Dont have a Synology NAS yet? You can get into a 2 bay version for $189.99 Link - 2 disk model for as little as $189.99 at Amazon.com.
This is a great way to store a second copy of your data in your home. I use a two bay version in a JBOD setup. So I have two, 2TB drives, setup in a manner that gives me 4TB of storage. If one drive fails you lose pretty much everything. It’s a secondary storage for me so that’s ok. I get secondary storage and I can take advantage of all the apps that Synology has out for Android, Windows Phone 8, and iOS. A bunch of other goodies as well. Don’t want to run JBOD? Don’t! Synology Hybrid RAID is a great way to let Synology optimize the redundancy in your NAS. Peace of mind.
Tune in each week to The Home Server Show Podcast for more info on the Synology platform.
