I knew little of the world of NAS, and after I researched on different sites, I took the leap not for Synology. I regret nothing, perfect product. It is certainly a large sum because it is necessary to add the disks (I opted for the WD Caviar Red 3TB) but the game is worth the candle. Documents, music, videos, photos, everything is accessible from any device, at home or outside. Free ADSL provider as having, I'm fixed IP, which I simplified many things for configuration. It is necessary to go against on forums (many, many in French) to gradually learn the different possibilities that this device can offer. Attention all this takes time and it's a little hard to understand without a minimum of computer knowledge. I am far from having explored all the possibilities. But again great product recommended. I positioned in the middle of my library in the living room, very quiet, operating leds not intrusive and this is beautiful. I was even surprised by the bay cover, glossy black but takes up very little dust. I am FAN !!!
