It's been slightly over a year since i last had any contact with a Synology solution and so going from DSM 3.2 to DSM 4.2 was a big surprise for me since Synology has performed countless improvements and has also added many more features. Certainly the en...
The numbers speak for themselves: The DS213+ is the new reigning champ for performance. It's easily the fastest NAS box I have ever tested and a quick look online shows that it's currently selling for around $385 USD. While not cheap, there is a lot of ...
While the DS213+ NAS from Synology is not from the same league as the last Atom D2700 4-bay NASes that have passed though our labs, the product sports good performances for both read/write transfers and includes a Dual Core processor at 1.067GHz with ...

I can easily say that the fresh Synology DS213+ impressed me with its features and the overall performance it achieved. It managed to score a very good price/performance ratio because of high transfer-speeds during the real-life tests I conducted, whic...
The DS112+ NAS Server from Synology is aimed at small and medium-sized businesses that do not need a huge amount of storage space (reported maximum internal capacity is 4TB), features enough connectivity options like eSATA and two USB 3.0 ports for co...

Abstract: Consumers have more choice than ever when it comes to two-disk NAS devices. Prices are all over the place, and the features range from very basic to impressively advanced and comprehensive. Hardware.Info tested 24 different NAS devices in different pric...
