The DS213 is pretty easy to set up with the 4.1 DSM. Plates pure, log in with the browser and follow the installation wizard. The good thing about the NAS is the fast boot time. Takes about 20sec. My age NAS has almost three minutes needed to boot. The fan of the DS213 is ok. Could be quieter. I have installed a SilenX Effizio 12dbA why. The rubber bearing of the hard drives is awesome. One hears no Vibrationsgeraeusche.
