plenty of solutions to work with ,upgradable, a lot of applications
4 bays, easy to put HDD's in and out of. Software works pretty easily - tons of YouTube videos available for walk-throughs. Has enough power to run a Plex server. Currently using the Synology Drive app on all of my phones, and laptops to automatically keep backups on the NAS - works very well. And as the admin on my account, I can get into everyone's individual backups and copy/paste files around. Can set up and run your own VPN server - which I've used several times already through my NAS to see things on my NAS, my NVR, and also my router from remote locations.
Easy to setup and configure
I had a DS415+ since about 2014-2015 and it finally died on me, so I ordered the new DS1821+ and put my old drives in and it booted up with a migration wizard and was up and running in a few minutes.
Excellent solid hardware (2.5GB LAN, M.2 Storage for cashing, I/O Ports) at a great price. Installation of hardware (drives, etc.) done well. UGREEN NAS app make it simple and quick to get the unit up and running.
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.
Decent price for the hardware, sleek design, upgradable RAM, software updates are frequent, drive bays are solid, can control fan speed for the CPU
This is my second DS1621+ (backs up my first) and they work really well. I only use them to backup my PC files from 6 active computers in my household, so I'm not really hammering the drives with media server or plex server functions. For me the Synology NAS's are the bext. I'm also running 4 Drobos as a third backup and, whilst the drobos are much simpler to setup, I much prefer the Synologies.
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 !
So easy to setup physically and soft. Enought apps for my needs (Streaming movies) With a WD red in it, was able to stream over Wi-Fi and copyng large files at the same time on it. Silent Robust construction No compatibility limitations compare to... tried to give Ugreen a try and I was really impressed.
i was looking for a new Plex server for full 4k HD remux HEVC mkv files. This is it!!! Play files without issue using LG tv plex app. If youre looking for a new Plex server you wont regret this purchase.
