Excellent acquisition
I am very pleased to have purchased this server which more than meets all my expectations.
I am good at computers, but I am not an expert in network techniques. I was able to install and configure it without any problems.
Everything is intuitive, if not perfectly documented.
Although I only use a small proportion of all the many capabilities of this hardware, I can see how it can be adapted to a multitude of needs, both general and specific. Logically, it's powerful. The DSM interface is really well done and has very useful explanations when you do your setup. The main functions that are common for home use are in any case quite accessible for the average person.
I was afraid of the remote access aspect... Wrong. It's perfect and easy, both in local and remote access, and both on PC and phone. You can really do a lot with this NAS.
Materially, it is very qualitative and powerful. I installed 2 HDD Seagate ironwolf 4Tb in Raid 1, increased the Ram with Crucial SO-DIMM DDR4 4Gb 2666 MHz CL19 SR X8 (works perfectly). I increased the read cache with SAMSUNG SSD 970 EVO Plus M.2 PCIe NVMe 500 GB (works perfectly).
Ultra easy to install, no Sata cables, no tools, perfectly recognized set and also a bit cheaper than Synology. This review will save you time as I had to spend a lot of time searching and checking the hardware compatibility of the RAM and the SSD.
I am very happy after a month of use with what this hardware package has done for me.
All software and apps are either integrated or free (and ad-free!), automatically offered by DSM. Windows and Android are hyper compatible.
What a pleasure to know that your data is secured in RAID 1, perfectly sorted, gathered in the same place and accessible from everywhere.
Go for it!Review automatically translated -

In relay
Replaces a 10 year old NAS of the same brand that has been working H24 since the beginning, simple transfer of the 2 HDs from the previous one and automatic start-up with perfect updates. Settings recovered automatically.
I've been using it for a while now, but it's been a great experience.
Main use is the easy Drive application with 2 other PCs and an Android mobile phone.Review automatically translated -

great product!
I'm very pleased with this product, it's simple but extremely functional and quick to set up. The only problem is the lack of a 2.5Gb ethernet port.

Top of the Top
I bought this Nas to replace my old Syno, a DS213J.
Arrived in 2 days. Migration was easy and smooth.
A beast of a drive with the ability to add a drive extension if ever the need arises.Review automatically translated
