Customer Review

I have the DS 215j bought as a replacement for my D-Link 320. This had spat as a hard disk recorder, when recording from my satellite receiver repeatedly error messages.

Style: 5/5

The case is stylish and fits very visible well out. It can be pushed apart laterally by gentle pressure. The hard drives are so very accessible. In other NAS system the HD's can only be inserted through the open front. The LEDs are clearly visible and the size of the one still well recognize the status of these also from some Enfternung. The stand is stable and the rubberized feet it can not easily be moved or slip.

TIP: When the DS with the LED's side laying on a cardboard or a towel down and then the housing top slightly backwards pressed it works best. The box / the towel thereby preventing scratching of the case.

Commissioning: 4/5

Unfortunately commissioning works only when the DS has Internet access. As long as this is not the case, you can not start the wizard. But there's a point deduction.

After login, I use this browser and not Syoftware, starts installing Assist. The installation, in the HD's are formatted, lasts about 12min.

TIP: Find IP address to the router or with DiskStation: Log 5000 The installation of additional software is not necessary.

Configuration: 5/5

After restarting, you must now configure the DS. The menu for this is eigentich self-explanatory. Default is "admin" specified as an administrator. It is recommended that these also to use it and to give users later when setting up no Admin rights. This is firstly avoided the be unintentionally switched on / off by a thoughtless click in the wrong place functions and it is later not forget the account with a password to lock against unauthorized persons. However, it should definitely a sensible password (lowercase / uppercase letters / numbers / special characters) can be used.

The DSM-update (the operating system of the DS) function can not be switched off completely, unfortunately. Since the DS later has no Internet connection at me a bit annoying but this is positive for the normal use with internet access. The interval of checking for updates can be selected in the menu and adjust the time as this is done automatically at night or must be back genemigt by the user.

Next, you can install additional software packages - but do not. The DS as a pure disk space does not. Unfortunately, here you get no Möglickheit from the proposed individual packages deselect. The point is thus the packets are skipped as can be installed separately later in the center on the Packet Weboberfäche. Conn. starts Weboberfäche and you now have to configure access to the DS done.

Conclusion:

Consistent further development of its predecessor DS214j. The Dual Core noticeably increases the performance of the DS and does well. The operating system runs footed and the different applications allow a possible use for the DS 215j.

Can be used as:
- Mail Server (IMAP / POP3)
- FTP server
- Could Server
- Data storage (RAID 0/1)
UVA.

Clear Kaupfempfehlung for all who want to have a reasonable NAS at home. Used by the applications, not only the data storage but also as Mail / FTP / -Cloud server.
