The only downside is that you cannot downgraden once you upgraded to the beta version. Before upgrading your system make sure all your applications are compatibel with the new release.

I am using DS212. I’m not sure if I want to go to DSM 6. I am afraid if it will slow my DS down.
Which model are you using?
Hi Sandeep,
I’am using two different models, on both I have installed the new DSM and so far I’m not experiencing any problems except for my Surveillance Station.

– DS213
DS213 running the following packages:
Cloudstation, Couchpotato, Sickbeard, SabNZBd, DNS Server, MariaDB, Sonarr, Transmission, VPN Server, Webstation and HTPC Manager with all the dependencies.
I’m also using the DS213 for all my media devices through NFS (3 Raspberry Pi’s with Kodi)
