        product conforms, deadline respected BUT the product is not easy to connect to such mobiles

        Hello

        The product is compliant, deadline respected BUT the product is not easy to install to allow the connection with mobile phones and to be used as a source of reading on hi-fi system. The Synology support is poor, I am waiting for an answer to my questions on how to connect the Motorola with the nas, after 3 days...I contacted the LDLC support before validating the purchase, it is ok, corresponds well to my needs. I've been using it for a while now, but I'm not sure how to get it to work. I've been using it for a while now, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use it for a long time. So in the end, not super satisfied with the product. I did not keep the 4TB HDD that the seller advised me to buy, I did not open it, having tested it with a HDD that I already had, but with a smaller capacity, but sufficient for my use.
        Sincerely Gaetan

        Delighted

        It's my first NAS, I'm very happy with it! Easy to install, I use it to share my videos, backup and download. I didn't need to install any software and I had no trouble mounting a network drive under window 11. I have connected another external drive via USB and mounted another network drive on it without any problems. The transfer speed is really good especially in RJ45, in WIFI it's just as good but slower because of the ascending speed. I've been using it for a while now and it's a great way to access my data, no matter what device you're using, and it's easy to add downloads to the chain without any hassle :-)

        Delighted

        I had taken this NAS for a simple external backup but I realize that it does more things than I thought. I can play my music on a bluetooth speaker without opening the computer thanks to the DS Audio app for android (attention requires android 8.0 at least), I can play my movies, we can install a wiki (mediawiki) and it does Itunes Server and WebDav protocol to exchange music and files with an Apple device (I'm under linux that's fine). It is perfectly recognized by my linux (Ubuntu distribution), Windows 10 but I had problems with SMB and Windows 8.1 (but I think it comes from the windows installation). In short, I recommend it

        Multimedia disc

        I've been using it for a while now, but it's a great tool for storing my movies and networking them.
        The disadvantage is that the Synology rarely goes into standby mode when not in use, I have to turn it off myself each time, so that it doesn't run for nothing.

        Very good product, LDLC service down

        Very good product, much faster than the "ds115j" model I was using until now. The price difference between the two models is justified. The price difference between the two models is justifiable, but the LDLC service is down: several days of preparation before delivery...

        Very good, just as I expected.

        Quality product, fast delivery.
        Used mainly for audio, the NAS is however a bit noisy (slight hum) and tends to resonate with the stand.
        The decoupling by rubber pad improves the effects significantly.

        Very Good NAS

        I bought it to replace my Synology DS111 NAS which is still working today (9 years old).

        It is less noisy, less energy consuming and more efficient. The installation of the disk is simple. The installation of the system too.

        It is a good product.

        Very good

        I bought the product to create my own private cloud, not trusting all the clouds offered by the different operators, and to share all the family and holiday photos with family and friends, whether you're nearby or on the other side of the world.

        Super

        Very good NAS or other personal, efficient, functional and complete...
        Delivered without SSD or HDD as described with RJ45 X1, USB 3.1 gen 1 X2, RJ45 X1 cable provided and power supply X1;
        Full system and OS but proprietary adjustable if needed;
        I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use the NAS as a standalone device, but I'm sure it's a good idea to use the NAS as a standalone device.

        I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a new one, but it's a good idea to have a new one.
        I've been using it for a while now, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use it for a long time.

        Well

        Good, not as convenient as I expected (remote).
        very convenient in local network.
        easy to use.
        I'm not sure why, but it's not as easy to use as I'd hoped.

        Always Synology quality

        I installed it as a replacement for a 211J.

        I preferred a more powerful NAS with one less disk, even if it meant making backups on the cloud.

        It is installed with a WD Red Desktop 6Tb SATA 6Gb/s and has been running for 4 months without any problem. The installation as usual is very simple especially since the NAS is delivered with all the necessary hardware.

        I use it as a download station, media server, and file storage.

        As always with Synology the setup is easy and intuitive. I don't know of a better management system.

        I've been using this model daily in tropical environments:
        - Quiet
        - Fast
        - Does not heat up
        - Does not slow down despite the volume of downloads
        - Handles "accidental power cuts" perfectly

        And of course LDLC is always on top!

        A long wait, but a happy ending!

        I ordered this nas for purely multimedia use as we are big film buffs/serialists at home. I received it more than a month after I bought it, probably due to the bad weather of the last few days. But in the end, what a pleasure to have everything at hand. I've been using it for a while now, but it's been a pleasure to have everything at hand, no more problems with storage management, connectivity with all the equipment in the house. A pure kif...I recommend it 100 percent.
