Following on from my recent review of Synology’s DS213j 2-bay system, I’ve been invited to take a look at a system that is more geared for the SOHO (small office home office_ market. This is the DS414 and for those who understand the naming system that Synology have adopted, it is possible to recognise that this is the newer version of the DS413.
Up to this point, there has not been much information to be found in the open about this system, but to give a quick run down in comparison to the DS413 the identical looking DS414 offers up a better CPU, better RAID controller and at a price that is more competitive. There have been rumours circulating that this system will be home to a CPU capable of transcoding media on the fly, but I can confirm this is not the case. Thankfully there is a separate system that is launching very soon which does have this capability and a review for this will appear in due course.
The DS413j NAS from Synology is mostly aimed for homes and small offices in need of high storage space, without the need of breaking the bank to get it. The product comes with an older chassis version and runs the latest version of the highly praised DSM, which means that it comes with a lot of features and its interface is really intuitive, easy to use.
Synology's DS412+ NAS has quiet operation, along with a small footprint but big performance, and a number of consumer and business features.
Synology is a large NAS manufacturer with several products. Looking at the numbers, Synology rivals both QNAP and Thecus in terms of the number of products available and in some categories outpaces them in truly innovative offerings. One such area that stands out is Synology's Disk Expansion products that allow you to double the drive count of your existing NAS with an add-on enclosure. I can't really tell you why Synology hasn't been a larger target on our radar, because I don't really know, but their blip is gaining more attention moving forward.
The Synology DS411+ II is an amazing device providing Web Hosting, file Sharing, Media serving, and up to 12TB of space. Check out this Super NAS, see if it truly is the small business savior.
In terms of performance, Synology's DS411+ is tough to beat. Both read and write speeds are blazing fast and it can easily handle multiple, simultaneous file transfers. All in all, the unit is consistent with what I've come to expect from Synology – stable, intuitive, flexible, quiet, and easy to set up.
Storing data away from your main PC is important, we’ve well established that by this point. It’s one step in data protection that everyone should be taking to make sure that no matter what happens you don’t lose your all important files.
NAS or Network Attached Storage solutions are becoming a much more widely used device for businesses as well as inside the home. Within the corporate environment, the slot for a centralised data source has been filled in many instances by NAS storage allowing users to remotely access files and data.
After reviewed on Synology DS109j 1-bay NAS system, today we have just received another new product from Synology which is a 4-bay NAS system; DS409slim. Synology DS409slim is not really same with its sister; DS409 as DS409slim supports four 2.5" SATA HDD while DS409 supports four 3.5" SATA HDD. Besides the size reduction, DS409slim consumes lesser power and also come with cheaper price.
This NAS is not for everyone, at least we assume that not every home user will need a NAS device with 12 hard disks and the option to increase that number to 24. For businesses in need of some serious storage space, the Synology DS2413+ is a great alternative. It's easy to add more storage capacity, the RAID configurations are flexible, and you have access to tons of different apps.
