A robust, cost-efficient platform for 3D professionals “Storage used to play a secondary role in high-performance computing (HPC) environments, and yet it has a critical role to play in the field of cloud-based 3D rendering and image processing,” said Dr. Kuo, a researcher in...

Compatibility makes all the difference System memory is used by practically everything on a device with compute capabilities. For a NAS, it is responsible for not only allowing the processor to run core services, additional packages, or even other operating systems via virtua...

Surpassing Cloud Station in every way imaginable Reflecting our core belief that data should be accessible anywhere, Cloud Station offers a private cloud solution allowing you to instantly sync files across multiple platforms while retaining historical versions of important f...

Performance and price are all-too-obvious pitfalls when purchasing SSDs How much are you willing to spend on SSDs to configure SSD cache on NAS or build all-flash storage arrays? Our statistics show that the average cost per gigabyte is 0.31 USD for Synology users who have in...

No more keeping fingers crossed Drive failures can go undetected and may occur anytime, and they will either lead to volume degradation or volume crashes. It’s less of a problem if a hard drive failure results in a degraded volume since you only have to rebuild your RAID arra...

Small steps to big protection for your storage Data scrubbing, as the name suggests, is a process of inspecting volumes and modifying the detected inconsistencies. As times goes by, some data may fall victim to slow degradation that gradually deteriorates data integrity. Wor...

Have you been tasked with finding and comparing different backup solutions, only to become overwhelmed with various options, an avalanche of features, and abundant licensing models from the very start? If you’re looking for a backup solution, this post will hopefully give you ...
