PLEX migration with DSM 7

blackvoid PLEX migration with DSM 7

About two weeks ago, DSM 7 came out and we were all so eager to upgrade (who could), but there is also an important note here to take away from this update. Synology was hard at work to bring us many new features, some visible, some not so much as well as some new and exciting apps and services (C2 new lineup), but also, they made some changes when it comes to permissions and how 3rd party apps work with new DSM OS. With DSM 7 a lot of apps got axed from being supported by the new OS, and those that will continue to work will demand the developers to adapt to the new security rules. One of those rules is that the apps can no longer run as root on the system. This leads up to this article. Continue reading...

NAS Compares How To Create A Windows 11 VM on Your Synology NAS

How to Setup a Windows 11 VM on Your Synology NAS As Many of you may have heard, Microsoft has formally announced that Windows 11 is coming and after several high-profile presentations and numerous published references online, you are now able to begin the formal process of testing this new operating system to see if it brings any impressive improvements to your existing Windows 10 machine. When it is fully released later this year, you will be able to purchase Windows 11 for your new PC build or upgrade from your existing copy of Windows and onto this new software revision. Many of us have horror stories of bench testing a new OS either in beta or alpha release form, as it can often result in our working processes and workflow to...

NAS Compares Synology Photos VS Photo Station and Synology Moments – ALL the Differences

Synology Photos Upgrade from Moments & Photo Station – Should You Upgrade? When Synology first announced the development of DSM 7 (almost 3 years ago now), one of the biggest changes that was noticed was the move by Synology to consolidate their existing Synology Photo Station and Moments applications into a single, all-purpose tool – Synology Photos. Throughout the previews and reveals of development on DSM 7.0, Synology photos would be continued to be highlighted, with each update showing improvements in GUI, shared space management and filtering through your decades of photos being made much easier. Now DSM 7 is officially here, many users who have made the switch from DSM 6.2 (and therefore migrating from Photo Station and Moments...

Synology DSM 7.0 FULL Review – Almost Perfection!

NAS Compares Synology DSM 7.0 FULL Review – Almost Perfection!

Review of The Synology DSM 7 Software and Services It’s been more than 3 years in development but finally, users are getting the chance to experience the full and official version of Diskstation Manager 7 (DSM 7) on their Synology NAS drives. Many users chose to invest their money and their data in a Synology NAS because the brand has an incredible reputation in the industry for their software and services, included with the hardware purchase – with DSM being one of the biggest draws. What once started as a slightly rudimentary network file manager tool, has now evolved dramatically over 20 years into its own fully-fledged equivalent operating system with applications, multi-user management and a wide range of inclusive software and...

NAS Compares Best NAS and Drives For £500 in 2021

The Best NAS and Hard Drives for the Home on a Budget of £500 If you are looking at buying a NAS drive (whether it is to move away from the likes of Google Drive or Dropbox, or to just have all of your data in a single controllable location), then it can be a rather intimidating task. For many users, the very, VERY first hurdle they encounter is the price tag! NAS systems, although not massively expensive, do always seem a little more expensive than you think – especially given the modest internal hardware used inside sometimes when compared again DIY PCs. Add to this the fact that these devices ALSO need to be populated with storage media and you can be looking at a price tag that can easily spiral out of control. Add to this that a...

On June 29th, 2021, we finally got DSM 7 release! With that, Synology has also made a huge change to their C2 cloud platform that has been around for 4 years now. The fact that they are working on their 3rd world data center in Taiwan, shows that Synology is serious about data protection that we have on our devices, but also with the introduction of new C2 features that they want to offer complete data protection that extends beyond their NAS lineup.

NAS Compares Synology DSM 7 is RELEASED! 5 Reasons You Should Upgrade Your NAS

Synology DSM 7.0 Now Available – 7 Reasons to Upgrade from DSM 6.2 As many of you might well have heard, after several long years of waiting, Synology DSM 7.0 (the NAS software, GUI and storage services platform from the brand) has finally been officially released. It’s been a long road and one that I have been following on and off for almost 3 years since its initial reveal, with DSM 6.2 receiving several key updates in the meantime and many users are pondering whether to upgrade their existing Synology NAS server to the latest version. Synology will continue to maintain DSM 6.2 (as some systems are not able to use DSM 7 yet), though obviously, this will decrease over time as DSM 7.0 becomes the Synology’s focus. so, today I wanted to...
