Download Synology Disk Station Manager 4.2 build 3211

Synology has released the first update for version 4.2 of Disk Station Manager. Synology DSM is the management software that runs on several of the company’s NAS products. The Disk, Cube and Rack Stations 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. Furthermore, 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.

Version 4.2 can only be installed over version 4.0 or higher and is only suitable for the NAS models ending in 09 or higher. In addition, Synology has announced that version 4.2 will be the last version to work on models ending with 09. Version 4.2 contains a huge list of changes, too many to list here.
