Synology DiskStation DS220+ NAS Storage Server - Black

Brilliant NAS!

My first Sinology NAS was a DS411j fitted with a pair of 3Tb disks in a Raid configuration.

After all these years and with the DSM upgrades it has had it was getting slow and frustrating to use at times. Since I was only using two of the drive bays and the volume was only half full I decided to upgrade to a Cereron based two bay drive.

After backing up all my data to another Sinology that I use as a back up (I have six now although two are no longer in use) I was able to swap the two disks into the new NAS and Migrate without any problems. Good old Synology DSM made the process easy and flawless.

What a difference! Blisteringly fast, the NAS was able to reinstall all the Packages really quickly! I can add photos without slowing down the system as it indexes and make thumbnails of them leaving me to get on with other tasks. Streaming videos to my iPad actually viable without buffering.

I don’t need a Celeron processor in the three other Synologys that are in use (each for a specialised task) but for my main data storage I would never go back to the J series again. The Celeron just makes all the difference.

In a nutshell, BRILLIANT.Read full review

Big upgrade from an old DS212J to the DS220+

Very easy to set up compared to the DS212J which used DSM6.2.
For most activities loading files the DS220+ processor was running at less than 10% unlike the DS212J which typically reached 90+% . No tools required to install drives is also very nice.Read full review

Great bargain!!!

Bought this to upgrade from a now obsolete WD NAS. So easy to set up. Loads of apps available. You select which apps you need instead of been pre-loaded with loads you don't need. I expanded the memory with a further 4gB to give me 6gB and fitted 2 WD 4TB NAS HDD's. It is fast responding to access from anywhere in the world if you wish, or just as good as a local shared storage.
I would highly recommend this item.Read full review
