High Performance for a nonAtom NAS, Quiet, Fast attached backup via eSATA
Mostly plastic construction
Once again, the results show that Synology has made a crafty choice of CPU with the dual-core Freescale QorIQ P1022. But this time, the price gap between its pricing and an Atom-based equivalent isn't as wide as it was with the DS413. A diskless D525 Atom...
