Synology has released an update for Disk Station Manager version 7.1. Synology DSM is the management software that runs on several of the company’s NAS products. The Disk and Rack Stations offer more than just extra storage space. For example, additional packages can be installed to allow the device to function as a media server, web server, print server or backup server, for example. The possibilities are endless.
Before version 7.1 can be installed, at least version 7.0 must be present. Furthermore, 7.1 is only suitable for the NAS models whose type number ends with 13 or higher. Version 7.1 will also be the last update for models ending in 13, 14 or 15. For the other conditions and the different downloads, see this page† In version 7.1, few changes have been made that are important for home users. The necessary changes and improvements have been made for the heavier models and the NAS that are used in business environments. This release fixes several security vulnerabilities and an issue in macOS Big Sur.
