Purchase reason: media storage, to which I can access from your laptop with my desktop computer and my girlfriend. Außerdm I have recently a Western Digital TV HD Media Player Live in use, what I wanted to feed them with material, without having to constantly turn on the PC.
I have installed an old 250GB Maxtor disk I had randomly lying around here. Additionally wude an external 1TB Fujitsu Siemens Storagebird connected drive with NTFS partition.
This external drive is mainly used as a data store, because I did not want to specially still buy a TB HD and copy all the data back and forth. So simply connect external HD, enable read or write enables and (most importantly activate when WD TV, guest account) then you can also easily with the WD TV Live to its video / music / photo collection access. (Without modified firmware of the player)
Synology has been wired network connected directly to the player to FullHD material reproduce smoothly. to 1080p everything runs absolutely smoothly. Originals untouched FullHD trailer eg doing but already problems. But even the riesiegen MP4 / HD video of my camcorder running perfectly
Everything sontigesn features I've not yet tried. But it also has really all kinds of features and capabilities. For me it was just a matter of my data access to be able, if with PC or Media Player. Whoever still has a such a player, I really recommend this NAS!
