BEST SELLERS

In Network Attached Storage (NAS)

The OS is the best NAS software you can run. I tried Asustor and Terramaster OS before this one and they were not well thought out, lacking features, and terramaster had bugs. The perpetual software license is worth 200 by itself. Couldn't bring myself to pay for a 4 bay but this 2 bay is unbeatable on value.

Awesome NAS for transcoding!! And storage no issues at all just what I needed.

Synology NAS arrived early and was easy to set up. Operating without faults!!

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.

Decent price for the hardware, sleek design, upgradable RAM, software updates are frequent, drive bays are solid, can control fan speed for the CPU

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.

Best value at the discounted price More space and specs Processor and memory stays low Multiple bays offer great expansion with secure raid Love multiple NICs Option to add PCIe 10Gb NIC

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

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 upgraded from a DS416. Setting up the DS1821+ was really easy since I had already set up a Synology years before. That being said, I do remember the DS416 had a steep learning curve (for me, anyway). I was concerned about the drive compatibility issue so many people have complained about. I am happy to say that this NAS took every piece of garbage disk that I put it in... Everything from a new 20Tb Seagate Ironwolf Pro to decade or older disks as small at 250 Gb (eh, it was just laying around so why not).

- Well made - Nice little heatsink on the chip. - Fast ... really fast !

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.

It just works. And in the computer world thats a big win. Runs as fast as a local hard drive.

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)
