  • Il design esterno è opinabile, Costo un po' alto, Prezzo, 260,00 Euro, Synology DS420J è presente nelle grandi catene di negozi di elettrodomestici,ma lo potete trovare anche su Amazon.it al prezzo di 260,00 Euro, Per la prova abbiamo utilizzato unitàWD
  • Il Synology DS420J non è bellissimo, non ha un design mozzafiato, ma è un NAS onesto che in salotto fa quello che deve fare. Il processore interno è abbastanza potente da sopperire ai servizi (multimediali sino a FullHD) ma abbastanza contenuto da ridurre...

  • Goede prestaties voor basis NAS-functies, Complete DSM-ervaring, Veel informatie beschikbaar over de software, Prijs-kwaliteitverhouding, Makkelijke setup, Goede mobiele apps
  • Niet bepaald stil, Slechts 1 GB geheugen
  • De DS420j vormt voor de prijs een vrij potente NAS voor persoonlijk en evt. kleinzakelijk gebruik. Voor gebruikers die op zoek zijn naar een degelijke oplossing voor netwerkopslag, mediastreamen en backupmogelijkheden, is de DS420j dan ook een aanrader. H...
