Here we have a double rack with the possibility of extended storage or a more secure storage (choice of RAID).
Installation is simple: open the case, setting hard disks, you close and it works.
Then simply log on to the site of administration and initialize the NAS.
then it is a breeze. With a fully Ajax interface is intuitive, efficient as well as being pleasing to the eye. Possessing a Mac and a PC running W7, everything is handled transparently by the NAS, no problem with the NTFS on the Mac (not run by default).
The applications are a true wonder. The music player is very powerful and can play all your music on all your wireless devices (iphone dock via airplay, or via DLNA). For movies, the application looks summary, jackets and makes you an attractive film library without you having anything to do (if not indicate the location of your movies)
Convenient also for your shelves, DS Download allows you to copy a file from a hoster link and download the file directly from your tablet on your nas.
The community is also very active with small add-ons can be freely downloaded and freely on the net: song lyrics, file hosters carrier ....
I have not yet configured the remote access but seeing it on an iphone in the train, it works very well visibly (always within the limits of your Internet connection and therefore your debit amount)
short an expensive purchase compared to simpler solutions such WD MyCloud but also a perennial purchase because Synology will continue to evolve long internal software and your nas will not be abandoned any time soon SHIFT out the new model.
By default, I will point out the lack of video output and USB port on the front. These functions are available on more expensive models. But taking this 213j you will not go wrong.
