The editors didn't like
Mostly plastic construction
No way around it
This device is expensive

Plastic casing
Only one SO-DIMM slot and it is hard to reach
Cannot format an external disk to NTFS
Not ErP Lot 6 compliant

Abstract: As of the beginning of 2013 Synology offers three models of 4-disk network attached storage devices for different market segments. The DS413j is meant for home and SOHO users with its ARM platform, lack of hot-swapping, and only two USB 2.0 ports for p...
The jump from Intel's Atom D510 to the Atom D525 was really just a minor update that didn't generate any large (or even noticeable) improvements in storage server performance. Refreshed models serving up extra throughput could have certainly come in handy...

All in all the DS412+ left me satisfied with its performance, high reliability and especially its nice operating system, which is very easy to use even for inexperienced users. The NAS proved to be astonishingly fast even in RAID 1 mode and surpassed c...
There is no questioning the performance of the new DS412+, as the dual-core Atom 2.13GHz processor allowed it to hang with some of the fastest units we have tested. The DS412+ had no trouble matching the performance of the bigger and more expensive DS1...
The power consumption of DS412+ is claimed to be 15-44W, the data fluctuate greatly due to different matched HDDs. In our test, we installed two Western Digital WD7500AYYS 750GB enterprise HDDs, installing RAID 0 system. DS412+ power managementWhen har...
