DiskStation Manager 7 Beta startet am 8. Dezember

Quelle:

Synology Am morgigen Dienstag (08.12.20) erscheint die public Beta des Synology Betriebssystems DiskManager Station kurz DSM in der Version 7. Die siebte Version sollte eigentlich bereits vor einem Jahr erscheinen, doch das Erscheinungsdatum verzögerte sich stetig.

Es gibt so viele Neuerungen, dass eine Aufzählung hier den Rahmen sprengen würde, deshalb lasse ich den offiziellen Link zur Beta Seite hier.

Synology Inc.

Welche NAS-Systeme jedoch das Update erhalten, ist derzeit noch unklar. Solltet Ihr es in betracht ziehen die Beta auszuprobieren, denkt dabei an ein Backup der Dateien. Wollt Ihr euch jedoch erst einmal das Benutzerhandbuch durchlesen, ist dies derzeit noch nicht möglich.

Auch ist nicht ganz sicher, dass alle Apps in der Beta funktionieren. Die ersten Reviews ab morgen, werden zeigen, was funktioniert und was nicht. Nichts desto trotz freue ich mich, dass sich hier endlich etwas tut.

Was denkt Ihr darüber?

Das erste Tutorial mit DSM 7 erscheint heute Abend.

   • A new revision of Storage Manager:
     • Added visuals of Synology NAS models with their drive slots, expansion units, and built-in M.2 slots to help users view drive status.
     • Enhanced usability with a clearer display of the relationship between storage pools, volumes, and SSD caches.
     • Enhanced the setup process of Hot Spare and Data Scrubbing.
     • Added a feature to guide users through configuring newly inserted drives.
   • New features of storage pools, volumes, and drives:
     • Supports performing different tasks on different storage pools simultaneously.
     • Supports updating the firmware for Synology drives.
     • Enhanced the access performance of RAID 6 by 80% on certain models with Broadwell and Grantley CPUs: FS1018, SA3400, RS1619xs+, DS3018xs, and FS3017.
     • Enhanced the access performance of degraded RAID 6 by 70%.
     • Added display of the storage usage of each category item on Btrfs volumes.
     • Added a new Fast Repair mechanism to reduce the time needed for RAID repair based on storage usage and thus reduce the time of RAID degradation.
     • Added the ability to replace a drive in a healthy storage pool with an unused one without interrupting services or causing storage pool degradation.
     • Added the ability to automatically replace “Critical” or “Failing” drives in protected storage pools with Hot Spare.
     • Added the Auto Repair feature to automatically run a RAID repair when a malfunctioned drive is replaced with a healthy one in the same drive slot.
     • Added the ability to eject a storage pool on an expansion unit to ensure the safe removal of drives without interrupting system services.

     • Added support for Western Digital® Device Analytics™ (WDDA) health analytics service for compatible WD Purple™, Red™, and Red™ Pro drives.
   • New features of SSD Cache:
     • Added the ability to create and remove SSD caches without interrupting system services.
     • Added the new SSD Cache Advisor to monitor I/O accesses and provide more accurate capacity recommendations.
     • Added the ability to pin all Btrfs metadata to SSD caches to enhance the performance of accessing small files and shorten the response time when accessing files regularly.
     • Added the ability to activate automatic protection on SSD read-write caches with multi-drive fault tolerance.
     • Added support for the quick write-back mechanism, delivering a three times faster synchronization from SSD caches to HDDs when automatic protection is activated.
