The 415+ also has specifica support for VMWare VAAI (vStorage API for Array Integration) and Windows Server ODX (Offloaded Data Transfer) this enables some storage tasks to be offloaded to the storage system for better performance on the virtualization host. It looks as if some limits are lifted with the 415+, for example there is support for 256 iSCSI LUNs on the 415+, versus 10 on the 415 Play.
ASSET UPNP SYNOLOGY SOFTWARE
The software is mostly the same on all the devices, Synology’s Diskstation Manager (DSM), currently at version 5.1. The extra cost of the 415+ buys you double the amount of RAM, a quad core CPU, and an eSATA port. The 415 models are the latest releases then, and the only ones to use Intel CPUs. Incidentally, I am guessing that in the Synology numbering scheme, the first digit represents the number of drive bays, and the second two digits the year of release. You can get a more detailed comparison of these four models in this table. 2GB RAM, 2.4GHz quad core Intel Atom CPU, 1 USB 2.0 port, 2 USB 3.0 ports, 1 eSATA port, 2 1Gb Ethernet ports, 100W power supply, 32.64W power consumption. 1GB RAM, 1.6GHz dual core Intel Atom CPU, 3 USB 2.0 ports, 2 USB 3.0 ports, 1 1Gb Ethernet port, 90W power supply, 27.33W power consumption. Benefits from hardware video transcoding. 1GB RAM, 1.33 GHz dual core ARM CPU, 1 USB 2.0, 2 USB 3.0, 2 1Gb Ethernet ports, 90W power supply, 28.42W power consumption. 30W power supply, 15.48W power consumption. 512MB RAM, 1.2GHz single core ARM CPU, 2 USB 3.0 ports, 2 1Gb Ethernet ports. Given that you can normally tuck your NAS away in a corner, there is limited value in restricting yourself to these smaller drives, but there is also an energy as well as space saving. All the other units here support 3.5″ drives. DS414 Slim £237.87: Smaller case designed for 2.5″ drives.90W power supply, 32.64W power consumption. DS414j £252.63: Budget offering, 512MB RAM, 1.2 GHz dual core ARM CPU, 1 USB 2.0, 1 USB 3.0, 1 1GB Ethernet port.Here are the choices, with current bare NAS prices from .uk: Let us say you want a NAS with 4 drive bays. I have been running this on my own network for the last 6 weeks or so.įirst, a note about Synology’s product range. Synology’s DS415+ is a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device aimed at small businesses or demanding home users.
ASSET UPNP SYNOLOGY MANUAL
However I still needed the manual fix for slimserver.css. Many thanks to LMS user pinkdot on the LMS forums. Update: I fixed the settings issue by installing the latest LMS 9.0 with this patch. I can live with that (open in Internet Explorer) but would like to find a fix. The LMS Settings page does not work in Edge. I’m glad because I have LMS on the Edge favourites bar, and the alternative (opening LMS in IE or another browser) is less convenient.Īnd yes, I use Edge, in part to keep in touch with what it is like, in part because I’m resistant to a Google Chrome monoculture, and in part because it’s pretty good now (the initial Edge release was hardly usable). I logged into the Synology over SSH and made the change manually in works.
ASSET UPNP SYNOLOGY UPDATE
However this does not update the Synology package. However, I then discovered that the LMS 9.0 UI does not work in Microsoft Edge, if you have the Creators Update. Now I can play native DSF files through Squeezebox Touch (you also need the EDO modification) and a Teac DSD DAC.

A user has updated the plugin, and if you add the following plugin repository: I installed, then added DSDPlayer and, hmm, I could see the DSD files but they did not play. You enable beta versions in the Package Center and it will offer to update. I then discovered that Synology is showing signs of updating LMS and has a beta release of LMS 9.0. DSD is the format used by SACD and some audiophiles swear it sounds better than PCM. This means you can output native DSD provided you have a DSD DAC (and some DSD files to play). There are a few issues with this release, but I lived with it, until I discovered that LMS 9.x can play DSD files, using a DSDPlayer plugin that adds DoP (DSD over PCM) support. Synology has been slow to keep its LMS package up to date and the official release is still 7.7.6. It works very well, better than when I used a Windows VM.


I run Logitech Media Server (LMS) on a Synology NAS.
