Optimizes data transfer to C2 Storage by uploading only changed data
Stores frequently accessed cloud data in the local cache to reduce access latency. Please note that:
The reserved local cache size must be at least 500 GB
The reserved local cache size cannot exceed 90% of the Btrfs volume size
The reserved local cache size cannot exceed the quota of the Hybrid Share folder on C2 Storage
Evicts data with the oldest access time from the local cache to create space for new data. Please note that:
Oldest accessed data (excluding pinned files and folders) are evicted automatically when the local cache usage reaches the reserved local cache size
Users can also go to File Station to select and manually release local files from the local cache
Implements cache throttling to intentionally slow the amount of data being written to the mounted Hybrid Share folder when the Btrfs volume is low on available capacity. Please note that:
Read speed is unaffected
Write speed is throttled when volume usage reaches 80% or when volume space is less than 200 GB
Minimum write speed (128 KB/s) is applied when the volume usage reaches 95% or when volume space is less than 50 GB
Sends notifications when specific Hybrid Share events or errors occur
Supports automatic DSM configuration backup and restore for instant data recovery (Learn more)
