Download Firmware Synology Disk Station Manager 5.2 build 5644.5

While Synology is still working hard on version 6.0, the manufacturer has released an update to build 5644 of Disk Station Manager 5.2. Synology DSM is the management software that runs on several of the company’s NAS products. Synology’s systems offer more than just extra storage space. For example, backups of all clients on the network can be made and files can be downloaded via http, ftp, bittorrent, usenet and emule, so that, for example, energy-hungry PCs can switch off at night while the download just comes in. In addition, audio and video files can be streamed over the network via the built-in iTunes server, a dynamic website can be hosted using PHP and MySQL and the device can act as a print server.

To be able to install version 5.2, at least version 5.0 must be present. Furthermore, it is only suitable for the nas models that end in 10 or higher. For the other conditions and the different downloads, look at this page. In version 5.2 we find support for smb3 File Station can now also address various online storage services and in particular the backup functionality, Cloud Station and Photo Station have been greatly improved. Furthermore, the ‘heavier’ NAS can now use Docker. A security issue has been resolved in this update. However, for certain models, this update will have an impact on read and write performance. Synology promises to fix that in a future update.

Fixed Issues

• Updated Firewall filter policy to fix a security vulnerability caused by stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-2015-7547).
  This fix may impact read/write performance on the following models by no more than 15%, for which Synology is working on an enhancement in the future release.
