Hyper Backup is an optional free package in DSM Package Center. Instead of the usual hardware focus, DigitalReviews is looking at some specific data protection with Hyper Backup in DSM. Synology has been kind enough to provide a DS218+ for review. Over the years, there has been a steady flow of improvements and increase of ecosystem to extend the base functionality. Synology has focused a lot of effort on their OS, DiskStation Manager (DSM). To this end there is almost a lack of relevancy to hardware specifications anymore, the fight has moved to functionality and user experience. If you’re one of those who just getting started with NAS and need all these features that’s offered by the DS216+ for your home office or personal use, we’d say that paying $300 for the DS216+ is actually a very good investment that worth the money.New hardware is released every few months like clockwork. You can have your own cloud service with all the latest version of your document synced to all your devices, creating content-rich notes on the go, sharing photos professionally, your own professional looking video streaming library and more, at the cost of $300 or approximately RM1319. We’re very happy with what’s offered on the DSM 6.0, lots of great features that can be set up in such a short time. With the DS216+ and DSM 6.0, you’ll will pretty much get everything done in minutes as what you will be doing at most is only installing the necessary packages, upload the files you need to the drives and some minimal configuration that is fully guided by the installation wizard. Given that you have an intermediate experience with computers, setting up a NAS using low cost alternative by running FreeNAS on a PC still requires a lot of work and time if you want to get something similar to run on it. If you’re planning to download the video to your device instead of streaming it from the DS216+, you can now pre-transcode that video and then download to your device using Synology’s DS Video app – 4K transcoding anyone?įinal Thoughts If you would ask us to rate the user-friendliness of the DS216+, we’d say that’s a 8 out of 10. Another feature that we favor is the document viewer which is something similar to the one on Google Drive that allows you to view the document directly on the File Station. One of our personal favorite features of the File Station is its ability to link to cloud services like Dropbox, Google Drive so we can access its content directly on the File Station. File Station is something like the Windows Explorer on Windows-based OS where you can explore the directories available, manage the files available, set the permission to files and directories for different users. The File Station is already installed from the beginning and you don’t have to install it separately. You can download files from the internet ranged from HTTP, FTP, BT, eMule, Thunder, etc with the DS216+ using Download Station and manage them through Synology’s DS Download app on your smartphone or tablet. Have a huge bunch of things you wanted to download but leaving you PC overnight to handle the download doesn’t seem to be the long term solution? Need to monitor your download status while you’re away from your PC? Well, say goodbye to those hassles when you have the Download Station installed.
