Delivery a little long (24 days from France to New Caledonia) UPS should improve its services to match the price charged. Perfect packaging, product received without any damage. Easy to install, all that's left to do is transfer the data from the old one to the new one. Delighted with the product.
RAS. Product well received but not yet tested as I am waiting for the Toshiba N300 10T price drop.
Product purchased to replace a DS1815+ which had just given up the ghost during the holidays and hot weather.
Inserted the disks in the right order, activated the switch, and everything was recovered without having to restore a backup.
What happiness...
This NAS replaces an older model with the same form factor, which had given up the ghost.
The big advantage with Synology is that you move the disks from the old one to the new one and in less than 30 minutes, everything is back up and running.
I would appreciate a little more clarity on availability and delivery from LDLC.
Service ok. Delivery on time.
Availability ok.
Replaced the old ds1812+ NAS that broke down.
Physical change of disks on the new NAS. Everything works and restarts without problems.
Adapted old version to new NAS version without any problem.
