On October 24, 2025, Synology rolled out its DSM 7.3 system with much fanfare. This latest iteration brings a game-changing Synology Tiering hierarchical storage feature to the fore. This ingenious function automatically segregates frequently accessed 'hot data' and stores it on high-speed drives, while relegating infrequently accessed 'cold data' to standard drives. This way, it strikes a perfect balance between performance and cost-effectiveness.

Drive 4.0 has also undergone significant enhancements. It now boasts shared tags and file locking features, which are set to revolutionize file management and boost collaboration efficiency to new heights.

Synology Office and MailPlus have not been left behind in this technological leap. They now incorporate cutting-edge AI capabilities, empowering users with intelligent email and document composition, seamless text translation, and concise key point summarization.

Moreover, the 2025 DiskStation Plus series models have broken free from the shackles that once restricted the use of third-party mechanical hard drives. This move opens up a world of possibilities, granting users unparalleled flexibility in their storage choices.
