I got this to upgrade an older symbology. It was fast and easy. Pop the drives in. Click a few things and done. New one is much faster and all my data and settings are preserved except 2fa has to be reactivated
I was really happy with how easy this was to use. I just pulled HDD's out o g my 12 year old NAS and put them into this new on eand voila it worked. Literally never ever happens.
+ Fast + 4 network ports, added 10G port + Ryzen chip, 8G of RAM + SSD cache
I'm a real novice when it comes to any type of networking but I found the machine setup simple enough for even me to understand. Over all, I'm pleased with the software and I'm able to do what I wanted to do on my local network..
Easy to setup and not to bulky
Easy to set-up Easy to be used by any devices Easily support 6 users ( 4 iphones + 2 android + 5 window laptop + 2 macosx + 2 fire tv) backup and streaming)
- Well made - Nice little heatsink on the chip. - Fast ... really fast !
This was ridiculously easy to set up. Just install the drives in the screw-less carriers, plug them into the chassis, connect the eSATA cable and power up. The system sees all the new drives and displays the expansion chassis and drives in the GUI. Then you just choose how you want it setup (RAID5, RAID6 etc.) and the system does the rest. It builds the RAID and optimizes the RAID and filesystem. If you have SSD cache you can even split it between the main chassis array and the expansion array. I had two each 1TB SSDs (too large) and spilt the capacity between the two volumes. Once the RAID was complete I ran ATTO benchmarks on the both volumes and witnessed almost identical performance to both volumes. No performance penalty on the expansion chassis whatsoever. Also, the drives ran cool during all functions. I saw a maximum of 102 degrees F . I was concerned about the performance of the expansion chassis but no need for the concern. You can simply expand your primary volume across the two chassis but I would not recommend that. Separate volumes on each chassis is safer. I would recommend this expansion chassis to anyone wanting to expand their storage with a Synology NAS that supports the expansion chassis. It just works like it should and you can manage all your NAS storage through a single interface. I have the primary NAS connected via a bonded pair of GigE and can saturate both links and see around 220 MB/sec read or write sustained.
Easy to setup and configure
Consolidate multiple external drives into one unit Lots of apps to maximize file access
Good Interface, stable product, great price, good online Video training, easy to setup for basic functions, easy to link to vie home network, TV connections. Quite and good power management.
Great product -Synology 10Gb
Decent price for the hardware, sleek design, upgradable RAM, software updates are frequent, drive bays are solid, can control fan speed for the CPU
Happy to have 6 gb total all working ; didnt want to take a risk to go above 6 gb that isnt on the compatibility list
