All is well

The product is exactly what I was looking for. It works very well, quietly and unobtrusively. On the other hand, fortunately there are very clear online tutorials for installing this Synology NAS. In fact, I find it totally scandalous that the pseudo "installation guide" is just a piece of confetti that says: Plug in the 220V! The Synology site isn't any clearer, as you have to dive into the sub-paragraphs of the downloads to find the right one, but still without any explanation. Communication isn't bad, because it's non-existent! It makes you want to rate it badly, but the end result is excellent, so I'm accommodating.

Synology is over for me...

Problem of untimely re-initializations (loss of configuration) since its purchase (5 times in 2 months) I've been testing for 1 month to see if it was the nas or my drive: I'm not sure if it's a problem with my disk, but it works fine everywhere else. I contact synology for an exchange but they want me to do more tests... I've been away for a week now and have no idea when I'll finally receive a product that works 2 and a half months after my purchase... in short, synology's technical service is lamentable. I just bought a Nas Qnap, no time to wait...

        Beautifully made, but not really simple

        It's a beautiful device that smacks of quality (we'll see when we use it...). In any case, it looks great on the desktop!
        On the other hand, I still haven't fully understood the plethora of apps, obviously designed for professionals.
        I can use it, but not yet in the way I want.
        Say, Mr Synology, couldn't you make a little app for the "twats who just want to back up their home PCs"? Something simple to understand, you know?

        a good solution for TimeMachine

        Configuring the DS120J is a bit tricky with the mobile app, but the web interface is very easy to use on a PC, once you've found the NAS's IP address.
        Works perfectly with TImeMachine for Mac OS.

        A very good and inexpensive product.

        I'm amazed at the range of functions available. The interface is fairly simple. You can put in an SSD or HDD of any size. Super-protected remote access (under Android). Following a problem with settings, the support team responded quickly and competently. I have left the world of WD without regret. I recommend them.

        To replace the DS 115J

        Everything went well with LDLC. I chose the DS118J model to replace the DS115J so I could reboot it remotely. It is very easy to set up the software part of the Synology (DSM) again.

        Nas for personal use

        Knowing synology for many years and owners of several models that is for professional reason that private I trust the brand!
        This model, for the backup of personal documents is quite sufficient!

        Good little SIN!

        This little NAS fulfils its main role perfectly, i.e. sharing files on the local network! You can add other roles of course (DHCP, DNS, VPN, etc...). Since it only has one bay, I connected an external hard drive of the same capacity as the one in the bay and configured an automatic backup with HyperBackup. The design is nice and fits well in a living room :)

        good product

        It is exactly what I was looking for, a little difficult to install and set up but once finalized it runs perfectly, a lot of functions to understand (not obvious) but useful,
        I've been using it for a while now and I'm very happy with it.

        Satisfactory for my purposes

        The product corresponds well to its description. The delivery is impeccable and fast, as always in my experience. As this NAS is intended to back up my data to a 218 play NAS in another location, my requirements are not very high.

        A bon petit nas

        This little nas is really good for storing photos, videos, documents etc.... It does the job even if it's a bit complicated to configure it in depth!
        Positive point :
        - Affordable price
        - Design goes everywhere
        - Fast transfer speed ( it depends on your network )
        - Low power consumption ( about 10~15 W )
        Negative point :
        - Unintuitive interface ( for someone who doesn't know much about computers )

        Top product for the price

        Very good quality product. Quick and easy to configure. Requires some time to discover all the configuration possibilities. Great value for money.
