Deejay Station Manager 2.two

As experience has taught me, perhaps the most important aspect of any NAS device is the software used to configure information technology. Similar all Synology products I can remember, this is where the DS410j really shines. The Synology Disk Station Manager two.ii is an impressive piece of software that will permit yous do well-nigh anything.

One of the coolest applications within the suite is called Download Station 2, which allows you to turn the DS410j into a 24/7 BitTorrent, FTP, or HTTP download center. Even shutting down your estimator won't impact transfers as files are downloaded straight to the DS410j.

The characteristic tin exist used via the Disk Station Manager ii.2 or a 3rd party utility called "Download Redirector" which is offered to both Windows and Mac users. This software is very simple to use and we encountered no issues with it.

Photo Station three lets you lot publicly or privately share picture albums, which can also be accessed via the Cyberspace. You lot simply demand to enable the feature in the admin panel and it will create a folder on the DS410j gear up to receive pictures. The merely issue nosotros had with this is that the DS410j tin take quite a while to create thumbnail views of large images files.

As you might wait the DS410j is a master at bankroll upwardly data and tin can practice and so in a number of ways. The local fill-in allows information to exist copied from the DS410j to an external difficult drive using one of the rear USB 2.0 ports. This allows for quick and easy backups of any data located on the device.

There'due south also the choice to bear out a network backup, which allows to back up files and data from one Deejay Station to another (or other rsync-uniform servers) over a network. With the Encrypted Network Backup option, users can encrypt data when a backup task is existence processed, so sensitive data volition non be exposed to uninvited guests.

Besides the mandatory fill-in functions, the extra software features can certainly come in handy even if you don't plan to use all of them. We particularly liked the Photo Station, Download Station and Web Station functions.
