Yes indeed, I’ve taken the DSM and couple of the other apps i use as that’s all I use the box for as its a older version, It mainly acts purely as a file server mostly now.

Have to say, Synology do tend to keep there versions up dated for quiet a while, think my old DS1512+ was supported up until DSM7 came out then they said no to DSM 7 on it but did still provide security updates, although I think they may have stopped or are going to stop soon I suspect but can’t complain as box is 10 years or so old now.  Admittedly, was a costly item to buy & then by the HDs for but I only ever had 1 issue with it and Synology provided replacement part with no questions and delivered it and its worked fine since.  Only small niggle is the HD enclosures, they tend to get a bit brittle when pressing the handle bit in so I’ve had to replace 2 or 3 of them now.  Admittedly unit would work fine with the handle bit sticking out, just bit annoying knowing it wont close properly.
