The Synology DS414j may not be the most glamorous of NAS drives, if indeed there is a candidate leader, but it is well-made and packs just enough power to not embarrass itself in basic benchmark tests for its file-serving speed. That it runs the same care...

Dual, core processor, USB 3.0 support, 20TB capacity across 4 disks, Latest Synology DSM 5.0 software
Cumbersome disk loading technology, No hot, swapping, Single Gigabit port, No front panel USB, Single USB 3.0 port
Quick enough to cope with file sharing as well as hosting email and other applications normally run on a Windows or Linux server, the DS414j ticks most of the boxes for a small business NAS appliance. At 20TB it's also got the necessary capacity and, wit...
Good build quality, Simple setup, Intuitive software, Well priced
Performance uninspiring, No tool-less drive installation
It may be no speed king, but the DS414j is one of the cheapest four bay NAS around. It's also quiet and sports Synology's class leading DSM software making setup a doddle. As such the DS414j is the best four bay budget NAS we've tested, but we would highl...
Decent performance, Reasonable cost, One USB 3.0 port, Synology DSM 5 software, Support for 5TB drives
Home / Tech News / Highlightsnew / Synology DS414j Review
In essence the Synology DS414j is a no-frills steel box that holds four hard drives. Perhaps the most exciting feature is the single USB 3.0 port and to be honest that isn't especially exciting. You don't get hot swap drive bays or link aggregation but fo...
Dualcore processor, Energy efficient design, USB 3.0 connectivity, Classleading DSM 5.0 software, Good choice of mobile apps, Supports up to 5TB drives
Anyone looking to take their first steps into network-attached storage should take Synology's DS414j into serious consideration. Launched to retail with a £258 MSRP, this four-bay box sensibly balances price, performance and functionality to deliver an e...

Dual-core processor, USB3.0, Small footprint, Strong price point, Cloud accessible, Stylish design
Average USB3.0 and RAID performance, Would be nice to see a USB port on the front panel, Not tool-free,
PricingAs an entry-level ‘j' series NAS, one of the most important factors that had to be taken into consideration when Synology designed and built the DS414j was its price to the end-user. With the target audience set as the entry-level home user, or tho...
While the DS414j may not have the performance of some Synology models it has more than enough for the average user but more importantly, all the functionality we would need at a more accessible price....

Aimed at home users with tighter budgets, the 4-bay DS414j unit retains an old version chassis and at its core we have the MindSpeed Comcerto 2000 dual-core 1.2GHz ARM processor which is paired with only 512MB of RAM.The product is running DSM 5.0 without...
