Synology are adding Btrfs support in the next version of their OS, for what that's worth.
- nugget 11y agoCan existing synology boxes upgrade for that or would it only be in newer models?
- jimmcslim 11y ago"Btrfs is a modern file system developed by multiple parties and now supported by select Synology NAS models." The higher performance models I would expect. DS716+ and various rack-mount models presently listed... I think you would be needing an Intel-based model at least to support this when DSM 6 is released.
