Who wants to read a perfect test, the reader is referred to the test of Tom's Hardware. The test really brint it in a nutshell.
Why I purchased the DS212 + anyway? Exclusively for the WOL (Wake on LAN) since our box is in the basement. And that works great.
Quickness. As in the OE test I just feel that the web interface is built more quickly, now it is also a faster per cent at work. Otherwise, the results are very on par with the DS211 +. As expected you in the speed and can not tell the difference when noise.
Topic electricity consumption. Again with the WD5000AADS Raid1 measured with a meter Conrad. Standby 9.4 watts in operation depending on the workload slightest case 16/17 Watt. In WOL state it is then when my meter to 1.7 watts. All in Line for my opinion.
To set up you have to I do not think to say something, child's play, even for first-time offenders that.
Otherwise always good as Synology NAS implements the theme for us home users, the web interface is really great.
Oh a little on the edge. Apparently Synology has changed little in the temperature or during cooling. War of Perc in the DS211 + shortly after waking from standby for up to 62 degrees Celsius (core temperature), this is + no longer determine when DS212, much cooler 52 degrees. This is at least felt a lot more reassuring.
I have discovered something negative? No Now that WOL is on board, I think it is time for longer.
As always, he who seeks finds. The housing feels very rough. That's it.
Additional: Just new WD5003ABYX Enterprise drives installed. RAID1. The power consumption is a little higher, just in operation, standby remained the same. However, for example, are the thumbnails in Explorer loaded faster than with the WD5000AADS. An additional benefit 5 year warranty. Unfortunately, they are also a bit louder. If yes in the basement ...
Have Fun
