Key new features in DSM 6.2 include:
Exciting storage technologies for efficiency enhancement
- Storage Manager: A new storage component, Storage Pool, is introduced to provide a highly consistent and smooth storage management experience. A new dashboard-like overview comes with rich and useful information. With Smart Data Scrubbing, you are given an easier way to prevent bit rot without breaking a sweat.
- iSCSI Manager: A revamped, dedicated management tool for iSCSI service that provides a new LUN type with refined snapshot technology. Based on the Btrfs file system, type enables snapshots to be taken within seconds, regardless of LUN size.
