Abstract: I calculated that the bare Buffalo chassis costs about £160 and the Lenovo Iomega goes for £120 in diskless form, so Synology DS213 looks rather expensive at £235, since it only comes as a diskless chassis. This means you'll need to budget £150 or £200 fo...
If there's a flaw, it's the DiskStation's case. Beautifully designed as it is, it's plastic and - though solid and robust for the most part - it feels thin in places. The hum of twin drives conducts noisily through the unit. That's not a terrible thing by...

SD and USB 3.0 support
Enclosure feels thin in places.

Starting with the build quality and design of the DS213 we have another hugely impressive product from Synology. The outer chassis feels robust thanks to the thick plastic used and we noted no flaws or rough points in the finish. The port layout on the fr...

Abstract: Consumers have more choice than ever when it comes to two-disk NAS devices. Prices are all over the place, and the features range from very basic to impressively advanced and comprehensive. Hardware.Info tested 24 different NAS devices in different pric...
It's really hard for me to be objective when it comes to Synology products. Mainly because I own a Synology NAS, know all of the benefits of it, and will tell anyone who will listen to me that Synology drives are the best home NAS drives available today.I...

Abstract: Nowadays you have lots of choices to make when you're looking for a NAS. Are you going to assemble something yourself, are you going to use Linux or Windows, or do you take the easy road and buy something pre-assembled? Synology has just released two pr...
Excellent build quality and aesthetics, Improved hardware specification, Excellent performance, Low fan noise, Feature rich DSM 4.0, Support for 2.5” SSD
Still no SATA 3 support
As I said from the outset, Synology have always impressed us with their products and so this new range for 2013 fills us with much anticipation.Between DS211 and DS212 there were no hardware upgraded between the models but with DS213 we have an upgrad...

Excellent performer, Simple setup, Numerous packages available, Energy efficient, Works with all three major OSes, USB 3.0 ports, Built in SD card reader, File Encryption
Only one IP camera license included, Expensive
Synology is a company that focuses on one type of product – network attached storage. This allows them to focus all their efforts on making quality NAS devices. Whether you are a home user or business, there is a Synology tailored for your environment and...
High Performance for a nonAtom NAS, Quiet, Fast attached backup via eSATA
Mostly plastic construction
Once again, the results show that Synology has made a crafty choice of CPU with the dual-core Freescale QorIQ P1022. But this time, the price gap between its pricing and an Atom-based equivalent isn't as wide as it was with the DS413. A diskless D525 Atom...
