ng4ever 39 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) Is anyone running the RC of DSM 7 with the base or default DS-220+ config ? How does it run so far ? I am worried it will slow down my DS-220+ even the final release of DSM 7. Could be wrong. Want to get honest opinions on how it runs on the base or default DS-220+ config please. Thanks. Read where DSM 7 recommends minimum 1 GB of ram. The base or default config of a DS-220+ is only 2 GB so that is why I am worried. I know I can add more ram but don't want to right now. Sorry. Oh yeah I could of bought the DS-920+ instead but still do not think I needed that much power ever. Not even in the future. Maybe I was wrong though.

Carlo 4330 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Everything I've read or experienced personally says DSM 7 is faster, especially UI components. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5042 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 (edited) Per the DSM 7.0 release notes DSM 7.0 consumes more system resources, including memory. If your model has less than 1 GB of memory, updating to DSM 7.0 may affect system performance. I haven't noticed a hit, but then I have 8gb memory in a DS1821+. Mine is also just used for Emby and Surveillance Station. For me I really haven't noticed a difference good or bad.

Seems about the same to me thankfully! Does feel faster though which is a good thing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
