Abstract: Synology is one of the most innovative NAS manufacturers. Moreover, the firmware is not so much firmware as it is a fully fledged operating system, which is especially true for the latest version (DSM 4.0). We take a look at three Synology NAS devices -...
Great design – robust and quiet, Brilliant performance, Operating system contains a whole range of features, Support for 2.5″ SSD,
Overall, I’m very impressed with the performance and quality of the Synology DS212 NAS. Both installation and setup was very simple. As well as this, the included DiskStation Manager software is the best software I’ve used that’s included with a NAS de...
New design – professional, robust, Excellent performance, Feature rich Operating System, Support for 2.5” SSD
No SATA 3 support
Whilst the DS212 has no significant hardware changes from its predecessor the DS211. We still have great performance and improved power efficiency. Externally, the unit has had a renovation – it now has a slick looking matt outer shell with a new glos...
Synology’s dual-disk NAS line-up currently consists of four models which differ in hardware configuration. Besides the selection of I/O interfaces, they differ in performance, even though this only shows up in limitations on the number of backup jobs,...
Simple setup and fairly easy to use, Excellent performance, Includes USB 3.0 ports for fast transfers, Plenty of options for home and office users, Can be an invaluable tool for your network
Fan can be audible at times, Might be considered expensive

Truth be told, the last couple NAS units I've used were from 2-3 years ago and the Synology DiskStation DS212 absolutely blows them away. It's not that those units were bad – they had decent transfer speeds and all, but I think for most home users out the...
As mentioned earlier, we haven’t touched a Synology device since 2009 at Techgage. That doesn’t mean I haven’t. I personally own a DS411 Slim. It was the only 4 bay NAS that I could afford at the time but I have put it to great use. I have scripts tha...

Excellent transfer rates Sustained at close to 90MB/s and bursts to over 110MB/s during testing, Feature packed like the Swiss Army knife of NAS servers, Energy efficient, 92mm fan is extremely quiet, Intuitive user interface is visually appeali
Would be nice if attached USB 3.0 devices offered USB 3.0 like transfers over the network, Please drop by the Bigbruin.com Forum and feel free to post any comments or questions
It is almost unfair to call Synology's DiskStation DS212 a NAS server. It is capable of so much more than simply providing network attached storage, that a different classification should be established. Sure, it does a great job as a NAS, but owning one...
