![]() ![]() ![]() One interesting facet of this is the ability to lock user passwords, which I imagine would be helpful if someone changes passwords too often to be trusted. Creating user groups, setting capacity quotas, and granting access to specific applications and features is a breeze. Since that means you don’t have to refresh your navigation window every five seconds, that little implementation turns out to be a real time saver.Īs far as user management, the entire operation is straightforward. Moreover, every time you change, add, or delete something in the network, the DSM will instantly update the information in real time. Since there’s no preset file system to dictate where you need to put files of a specific type, the DSM gives you the freedom to structure your network the way you see fit. Hands down, Disk Station Manager stands head and shoulders above other NAS interfaces that I’ve dealt with. Despite the fact that I was working off a simple AirPort Extreme Base Station, I never had any trouble trying to find the device in my Finder, and there were scarcely any connectivity issues present in any of my tests. This was particularly useful in monitoring day-to-day activity in the network for example, I could see that over the course of a day’s operation, the NAS device maintained a low average temperature without any visible strain or adverse effects.Īfter clicking on the device’s name in Synology Assistant’s main window, I was instantly taken to the drive interface, Disk Station Manager. Unlike other “assistant” applications that basically just sit in your Finder to let you know that, yes, the device is plugged into your computer, Synology Assistant actually offers up a great deal of information about your network that saves you from having to frequently open up the drive interface in your Internet browser. ![]() Upon completing the required installation needed for the Synology Assistant, which took mere seconds, the application instantly recognized the DS710+. Setting up the drive is incredibly simple, and should be so for first time users. While it’s not as robust as other two-bay NAS devices (I’ve seen plenty with at least twice as many ports) it’s the average that you should expect for any two-bay setup. Six ports line the rear of the DS710+ unit, including VGA, (only) two USB ports, a single Ethernet port, one eSATA port, and the requisite jack for the power supply. ( ) what will you be using the server for if you don't mind me asking? I tested mine for about a week or so, still digging up new things and adding to mine.On the front side of the device, a single column of seven LED lights indicates drive connectivity, with a single USB port for increasing your storage capacity. I'd recommend getting used to how it works, possibly a small drive (or two if you can) highly recommend synology SHR raid, use the synology raid calculator to see how much space you can get with this raid type. (the drives were from my previous nas and it was linux based) format on mac or PC seems to be fine, the synology box reformats anyways. As to your question, you can find it on the synology website, ( ) here. Understanding most importantly how it works, and were the files are installed too. Trial and error helps, especially getting used to it. I'm quiet new to this site too, I'm using that version you have found. ![]()
