  • Abstract:  Synology is one of the most innovative NAS manufacturers. Moreover, the firmware is not so much firmware as it is a fully fledged operating system, which is especially true for the latest version (DSM 4.0). We take a look at three Synology NAS devices -...

  • Supports mixedsize disks; excellent easytouse interface; welldesigned applications,
  • Disks not hotswappable; no eSATA ports; plastic case feels a bit flimsy.
  • One of the best consumer two-bay NAS enclosures out there – the DS212j has a wonderful range of features for the price, even though it has a modest hardware specification. ...

  • Affordable NAS solution, Excellent performance, Feature rich Operating System, Support for 2.5” SSD
  • No SATA 3 support, Swapping drives means taking unit apart
  • It was only yesterday we were looking at the Synology DS212 and today we look to its sibling the DS212j. Whilst it may be designed for home and small office use the DS212j delivers great performance and a plethora of useful features. Though it’s deeme...

  • I'm getting pretty fed up of giving Synology high marks for their products, but they keep making NAS drives that are pretty hard to score down.In terms of hardware, the DS212j is nothing incredible. Most devices of this class will have the same, if not be...

  • low power consumption, almost silent, more responsive than last years model, due to memory increase, Diskmanager software is market leader, class leading performance for the price, very cost effective,
  • None, Kitguru says: Synology have a NAS system for all markets, this is clearly one of the best sub £200 models on the market today, Rating: 9.5, Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7, Share, Facebook, Twitter, Google +, Stumbleupon, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Tags DS212J news
  • Without doubt, the DS211j was the sub £200 NAS system to beat. Other manufacturers have been unable to oust this product from the budget market throne, so it is up to Synology to move the goalposts. The DS212j has rewritten the performance rules in this s...

  • Richesse des fonctionnalités
