Great overall performance
Minimal effect of encryption on performance
Upgraded RAM and CPU
Wide range of downloadable apps
Quiet
Storage performance is the focus of the DS415and it performs well at this task. The setup process is very easy for first time NAS appliance users and there are enough extras for users to be surprised by all of the functions available.
Very fast network-transfer speeds in all possible configurations
Highly intuitive and easy-to-use operating system (OS) with a lot of features
DSM provides some crucial security options (antivirus application
AES 256-bit encryption
Optional 2-Step log
The editors didn't like
Weaker 8k sequential iSCSI performance than QNAP TS-451
No HDMI or optical audio ports
Memory expansion voids warranty
RAID 5 read a bit slow
Without the bells and whistles offered by some of the competing products in this price range we think the DS415is a bit overpriced.
RAM is not easily upgradeable (however
2 GB will sufficiently cover every possible usage scenario)
Not compatible with the ErP Lot 6 2013 directive
You cannot format an external disk into NTFS (however
Synology hasn't really gone out on a limb with the DiskStation DS415+, for the most part it's a refined version of the more than 2 year old DS412+. That isn't necessarily a bad thing and constant refinement is what Synology does best.By taking their tried...
The Synology DS415+ as seen in our testing is a solid performing NAS appliance in all RAID configurations. This is largely due to its underlying Rangeley platform from Intel and also the NAS operating system (DSM). As with many NAS appliances, the heart...

With the DS415+, Synology has brought a new NAS onto the market based on Intel's Avoton quad-core processor. The device's performance is great, and the included DSM firmware offers a great deal of functionality. All this makes the DS415+ a very interes...
Fastest mid-range NAS yet, Slick, intuive setup and user interface, Compact, tough form factor, Quiet
More expensive than rivals, Only USB 2.0 on front facing port
The DS415+ is a stylish, quiet and intuitive NAS that is very fast, especially using encryption. It's only rival is the DS414 which can do everything almost as well for £100 less but lacks its dedicated encryption hardware. So if security is a key focus, ...
Starting with the build quality and design of the DS415+ we have a NAS which impresses. It may have a chassis which is plastic but the finish on that plastic, both matt and gloss, looks and feels good. It is also strongly constructed thanks to the metal f...
