UPDATE: 20/02/2023 - on the topic of the potential elimination of TRIM support in the latest UP4 I would like to just confirm that this is not the case. TRIM is still supported for all compatible SSD drives including both Synology and other 3rd party brands (WD, Samsung, etc). This has been confirmed with internal company testing! Any situation resulting otherwise should be reported using the official channels.

Important Notes

  1. Starting from this version, the bad sector count column will not be displayed along with hard drive information. Users should go to each drive's Health Info > History to view its complete bad sector information.

  2. Adjusted how the system calculates the estimated lifespan for M.2 NVMe SSDs to provide a more accurate estimation.
  3. Support for AAC encoded audio is widespread across end devices like smartphones, tablets, computers, and the majority of other media playback devices. The need for AAC transcoding to achieve better compatibility has significantly diminished and will be removed starting with DSM 7.1.1.
