for great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and
0:09
western digital hey guys we're here at synology checking out dsm five now i
0:13
love synology nas drives we've used them a few times in the office and they're
0:16
showing off quite a few cool things with their new software first off is quick
0:20
connect so the idea behind this is if if you're not a super complicated end user
0:24
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
0:29
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
0:33
that kind of stuff that you used to have to do in these situations and it's automatically set up throughout the app
0:37
so say you want to access your data on the phone it's good to go right away the
0:41
next one is cloud station and essentially it enables you to have as
0:44
complicated as a cloud setup as you want so let's start with a complicated one
0:48
and then get a little bit more simple so first off you've got a few disk stations
0:51
on the east coast of canada and a few disk stations on the west coast of canada you need them to interface with
0:55
each other all the time so you have backups remotely on each end you can
0:58
have that set up so it's all synchronized and automatically going all the time and it's very easy to set up as
1:03
well as more simple situations say you take a picture on your phone and you
1:06
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
1:11
you have the application you can sync it out to everyone easily and seamlessly
1:14
next up there's social network backups so you can back up facebook google plus
1:17
everything i think that was already in the app but now they have youtube which
1:21
is specifically cool for us because it could automatically back up youtube
1:24
videos that you upload other than that they've also generally just refined the
1:27
interface there's much more logical grouping of different uh ideas and
1:31
applications now and for instance backups instead of being different
1:35
backup things being kind of all over the app all of the backups are in one simple
1:39
easy to find area at the same booth there's iosafe running dsm-5 as well and
1:44
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
1:47
completely honest when Linus tasked me with planning out this video i didn't
1:52
believe it was going to work i hooked up my brother's fire department all that
1:55
kind of stuff but i expected the thing to fail and it it won gloriously it
1:59
wasn't even really a close contest it easily beat what was going on and in the
2:03
background here on the video they have a much more intensive test than we even
2:07
ran running on this guy right here which is the 15 13 plus it's a little bit more
2:11
hefty of a price but it's expandable and there's way more drives and it's just a
2:15
higher end system so if you're someone who's in safe small business or you're
2:19
running your own business say photography videography whatever the heck you're doing if you need tons of
2:23
storage and you need it to be safe this is probably something you should look into as it is fire and waterproof thank
2:28
