western digital hey guys we're here at synology checking out dsm five now i
love synology nas drives we've used them a few times in the office and they're
showing off quite a few cool things with their new software first off is quick
connect so the idea behind this is if if you're not a super complicated end user
and you just kind of want to plug it in and let it run quickconnect will let you let you do a simple install and then
you're good to go you don't have to mess with your router you don't need to remember ips you don't need to do all
that kind of stuff that you used to have to do in these situations and it's automatically set up throughout the app
so say you want to access your data on the phone it's good to go right away the
next one is cloud station and essentially it enables you to have as
complicated as a cloud setup as you want so let's start with a complicated one
and then get a little bit more simple so first off you've got a few disk stations
on the east coast of canada and a few disk stations on the west coast of canada you need them to interface with
each other all the time so you have backups remotely on each end you can
have that set up so it's all synchronized and automatically going all the time and it's very easy to set up as
well as more simple situations say you take a picture on your phone and you
want to sync with all of your friends and your mom and your dad or whatever you can take that picture and as long as
you have the application you can sync it out to everyone easily and seamlessly
next up there's social network backups so you can back up facebook google plus
everything i think that was already in the app but now they have youtube which
is specifically cool for us because it could automatically back up youtube
videos that you upload other than that they've also generally just refined the
interface there's much more logical grouping of different uh ideas and
applications now and for instance backups instead of being different
backup things being kind of all over the app all of the backups are in one simple
easy to find area at the same booth there's iosafe running dsm-5 as well and
if you guys haven't seen it you should go back and watch but we've made a video for aisle safe in the past and to be
completely honest when Linus tasked me with planning out this video i didn't
believe it was going to work i hooked up my brother's fire department all that
kind of stuff but i expected the thing to fail and it it won gloriously it
wasn't even really a close contest it easily beat what was going on and in the
background here on the video they have a much more intensive test than we even
ran running on this guy right here which is the 15 13 plus it's a little bit more
hefty of a price but it's expandable and there's way more drives and it's just a
higher end system so if you're someone who's in safe small business or you're
running your own business say photography videography whatever the heck you're doing if you need tons of
storage and you need it to be safe this is probably something you should look into as it is fire and waterproof thank
