This review is from: Synology DS413j Diskless System DiskStation
Pros:
After debating whether to build a FreeNAS or getting Synology - I'm glad I went with Synology. If I went with FreeNAS, I'm not too certain whether I would have been able to set it up correctly. Synology setup guide was well documented & easy to follow. Well, I'm not much of tech person at all - especially when it comes down to networking as well. If it's easy enough for me to get it work, it should do for anyone who's willing to spend just little bit of time to learn about networking.
Cons:
Synology products are little bit more expensive than other NAS products - but the robust web based OS definitely makes the whole thing so worth it.
Overall Review:
Quite possibly, best purchase I've done for over few years. I've been worried about my child's digital footages/photos being lost due to HDD failure & all - and while this isn't 100% disaster proof, I can definitely relax a little bit due to the 1 disk redundancy.
