System Administration

Maintain, monitor, and manage your deployments easily with tools built in to DiskStation Manager (DSM).

Simple hardware maintenance

Keep your drives running optimally using convenient drive management tools.

Storage management

Inspect storage capacity, volumes, and drive health. Accelerate drive performance with SSD caching, and increase NAS reliability with hot spare drives.

Simple drive servicing

Rotate old drives or increase capacity without degrading the storage pool by cloning them to spare drives. Use Auto Repair to rebuild arrays when old drives are replaced without accessing DiskStation Manager. For a completely hands-off approach, Auto Drive Replacement will clone failing drives to pre-installed hot spares.

Rapid RAID repair

Fast Repair significantly reduces repair time of degraded arrays while incurring less wear and tear on drives by rebuilding only the used portion of a RAID array. No matter if you are using common RAID configurations or RAID F1 to prevent simultaneous SSD failure, your systems will be back to peak performance in a matter of moments.

Powerful monitoring tools

Ensure your NAS is optimized using performance and monitoring tools.

Resource Monitor

Maintain the performance and health of your NAS by monitoring CPU, memory, disk, and network usage. Set alarms to alert you if CPU usage is too high.

Storage Analyzer

Generate reports that identify duplicate files. You can also see how volumes and shared folders are used by different accounts.

Log Center

Analyze real-time activity logs that include information on package installations, network changes, updates to passwords, and login attempts.
