SYNOLOGY DS215j 2-Bay NAS Server 800Mhz Dual Core CPU 512MB Ram (Accessories)

Customer Review

... As my existing Buffalo NAS (LinkStation Duo) - and after only two days use, I am convinced of Synology!

With Synology everything fits together. Ranging from the information and download portal on the HP, to the simple and clear operation of the web-based operating system (DSM) for the NAS. Even the use of a support on technical questions as (still) non-customer was very laudable.

The installation is self-explanatory and easy. The default Hybrid RAID mode can be changed later in the DSM according to the desired RAID mode.

The main reason to buy, WakeOnLan (WOL) to work as intended: after the set time and non-use of the NAS to enable those in the standby. A wake-up through my Panasonic TV and / or network player Yamaha CD-N500 works perfectly and all the music, and photo files are Videos- within a few seconds. Available.

In addition, the users will still put a lot more convenient packages for download at no charge in order to make such. B. from the NAS a cloud, create notes with his PC and Smartphone (like Evernote) and synchronize files or between the NAS and multiple public clouds such as Dropbox, Baidu cloud and synchronize Google Drive.

The packages are also appropriate Apps for Android (in the download section of the HP) and Apple (App Store) to utilize available to its NAS from the smartphone / tablet.

I'm sure that even NAS rookies with this system are very well come to quite as alone the help and explanations in the DSM already very well designed and relatively easy to understand are assuming some computer skills.

As I have 2x 2TB HDD Toshiba selected DT01ACA200 and no WD-Red or Green.
The reasons are different. One reads, inter alia, from engine problems in WD's and since my Toshiba was inter alia recommended by IT'lern and has been classified by Synology as compatible, I've taken this but that's a little matter of faith I guess.

I bought this package is not on Amazon, because in sum about 30 EUR more expensive than other internet providers. In the meantime, the price of Synology Amazon was even times at about 200.00 EUR, all other held their 160.00 EUR.

Bottom line, I am very satisfied with the performance, speed, web interface, etc., and the Synology would recommend it to anyone without hesitation.
Unlike my Buffalo, these are two different worlds.
