Absolutely a fabulous product along with their easy to understand setup videos and easy to use programs for doing just about anything a NAS can do. I set it up with 3 WD RED Plus 16TB drives in Raid 1 and it works great for my computer backups. The transfer rate seems to out pace my Samsung 1TB 970 Pro. It has 2 ethernet connections for more speed on the network. It works great for backing up all the computers on my network. And that is what I bought it for. Mostly for a bazillion travel pictures and videos my world traveling wife and I take every year.
This is my second Synology server. My first one was a DS713+ and it is still going strong. This one has a much more advanced processor, so I expect good things when I install it.
Synology Easy setup Quiet Small form factor Bonded ethernet ports if needed
- (still) powerful CPU with hardware video processing - upgradeable RAM - SSD cache/storage pool option
Easy set up. Plenty of features. Cant conplain
* Works! * Easy setup * Nifty LED display.
It just works. And in the computer world thats a big win. Runs as fast as a local hard drive.
I was able to replace 2 Raspberry Pi's and a repurposed older desktop with a single compact machine that is SO much easier to maintain. Why did I wait this long?
Good Interface, stable product, great price, good online Video training, easy to setup for basic functions, easy to link to vie home network, TV connections. Quite and good power management.
Very simple setup. No tools needed to put in drives. Just pop them into sleds. Connect the Esata cable & power and your NAS will pick it up right away.
+Plenty of included fans +Actual EATX support, with holes for standoffs in positions for various MB configurations so board is properly secured to the chassis +Lots of space to work in +Price
Affordable. And works very well
- Well made - Nice little heatsink on the chip. - Fast ... really fast !
They are perfect to mount my server chassis.
- Lots of PCIe lanes - True x16 PCIe slot that can bifurcate to x4x4x4x4 - True x4 Slot - And a x1 Slot - Two M.2 slots that do not interfere with any other component
6 PCI-e Gen 4 slots that are always x16/x16 (The 7th may have fewer or be disabled entirely depending on how you configure other options) Technical support was excellent. William replied quickly and kept replying quickly until my issue was resolved. IPMI for remote administration. 2 x 10 gigabit ethernet ports may potentially free up a PCIe slot depending on your needs. Supports "Above 4G Decoding". This feature might be common now, but its absence will prevent motherboards from being able to use some Data Center GPUs.
Easy to set-up Easy to be used by any devices Easily support 6 users ( 4 iphones + 2 android + 5 window laptop + 2 macosx + 2 fire tv) backup and streaming)
