RAID F1
Due to the peculiarities of SSD and RAID technology, a common challenge lies in how to prevent all of the drives from failing at the same time because of the evenly distributed workload. RAID F1 alleviates this problem with a specially designed algorithm to unevenly distribute workload to drives, enhancing the resilience of the storage pool and ensuring your data remains safe.
See the white paper for more technical details regarding RAID F1
Compared with traditional RAID, RAID F1 distributes uneven workload to SSDs to prevent all drives from wearing out simultaneously.
Next-generation file system for advanced data protection
The Btrfs file system introduces the most advanced storage technologies. It helps to prevent data corruption and reduce maintenance overhead with optimized snapshots. Btrfs ensures high-level data integrity, while taking advantage of flexible and efficient data protection and recovery tools.
Flexible Shared Folder and User Quota System provide comprehensive quota control on user accounts and shared folders
Snapshot Replication provides data protection that is able to be scheduled and saves storage capacity. It supports 1,024 shared folder backups and 65,000 system-wide snapshots
File- or folder-level data restoration accelerates data recovery and flexibility
Automatically self-healing files detect and recover corrupted files without user intervention
Virtual Machine Manager
Virtual Machine Manager enables you to test new software in sandboxes, isolate your customers’ machines, and increase the flexibility of your server. You can easily run Windows, Linux, and Virtual DSM on your Synology NAS by just a few steps.
