I've had a few NAS drives in my time but this is definitely the best so far. It is very easy to set up and has the option of side loading other apps and packages which makes it a very powerful enclosure. It goes to sleep when not being accessed and wakes up quickly every time without fail. I would recommend installing a Western Digital Red series HDD as these are built for NAS enclosures and are very very quiet when running.
I have used a synology disk station for some years. it proved very satisfactory but was becoming too slow overall and particularly for streaming. This DS116 is a terrific improvement on its predecessor. The speed is excellent and migrating the hard disk from the old model to the new was simple. This is an excellent step forward.
