In the forums, the part comes off badly, something the world does not need - or something - is to read often times. Also it partout not like reading exFAT formatted media is an indictment of Synology, and even those who 64GB or more than quasi-volatile memory (the EDS unfortunately needs for many applications such as the surveillance station as a camera server) as SDXC card wants to use card slot, will have until the new operating system from 5x success, previously no NTFS formatted SDXC cards are in fact found. And even though the device has 2 USB ports for external drives, this can only be configured as a stand-alone drives, not as a RAID.
The web interface is not just fast, but other NAS manufacturers like Buffalo, etc. offer no faster interface.
Here one must already ask why there is a lack of such a self-evident in a device for just under 180 euros (without their own hard drive (s) !!!). Maybe because lack of credible alternatives?
Who external media, especially NTFS disks would quickly hang with 1.2 or 3 TB Gigabit connection to the grid, about to always be virtual scratch disk also dabeizuhaben via (W) LAN on the tablet, or to fast times a backup from the server or to make the RAID NAS to lay the board then in the safe, can not get on the EDS. Why? Other solutions, specifically the Intenso (and identical) and the popular USB-to-LAN solutions from other manufacturers offer once not the speed - and come with large NTFS drives (1TB plus) simply can not cope. Especially the Intenso devices without built-in HD set here (painful itself tested) permanent chaos in the data structure to other manufacturers simply afford underground transmission speeds for large NTFS disks. If you want to bring small plates or exFAT formatted memory cards and USB drives into the net with the small Intensos well served for one fifth of the price, probably the Linux users need not gigabit connection.
If you, however, is dependent on rapid external NTFS drives on the network, you come to the EDS 14 as USB2LAN server but not over, because that makes it perfect
Small consolation: Almost all applications running on the Synology OS, can be used on the EDS 14, who must record the stream of its IP-Cams, would put its private cloud on the USB hard drive or want to set up a complete web server with CMS can do it on the EDS 14, namely just as comfortable as on the big Synology RAID systems, however, provides the EDS14 no RAID function to, in this more favorable solution you just have to do without data security.
