Download Firmware Synology Disk Station Manager 2.0-0598

Exactly one month after the 2.0 release of its DiskCube and RackStation software, Synology has released the first update of the Disk Station Manager. These nas products have a Gigabit Ethernet port and offer space for one, two or four hard drives, depending on which model is chosen. The drives offer more than just extra storage space. They can also make backups of all clients on the network, download files via http, ftp or BitTorrent, so that, for example, the PC can be turned off at night while the download still arrives. Furthermore, the built-in iTunes server can stream audio and video files over the network, host a dynamic website using PHP and MySQL, and act as a print server.
