- Easy setup - DSM is great and intuitive - Good value compared to more expensive 4+ bay options - Powerful enough for Plex and online photo archive
Awesome NAS for transcoding!! And storage no issues at all just what I needed.
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)
Very sleek and sturdy design. Supports 3.5" and 2.5" drives with no adapter needed (Huge Pro for me) Quiet (Talk about quiet...) The design on the drive trays with included rubber vibration dameners is amazing. Can't hear the 4 7200 RPM drives at all. Fans are also super quiet. Now, let's talk about the software. This thing has more features built in to it, just straight out of the box, than any other consumer grade NAS I have worked with. I thought WD NAS's were great.... Honestly, the options in this one is WAAAYY better. If you are on the fence about buying one of these, jump down and go buy it. I have worked with NAS's like NetApp and the like, and this is probably one of the best consumer grade products that I have seen. I am definitely sold on these products and plan to buy the expansion modules for this ASAP and fill em with drives....
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.
As simple as plug and play
I was able to replace 2 Raspberry Pi's and a repurposed older desktop with a single compact machine that is SO much easier to maintain. Why did I wait this long?
- Well made - Nice little heatsink on the chip. - Fast ... really fast !
Decent price for the hardware, sleek design, upgradable RAM, software updates are frequent, drive bays are solid, can control fan speed for the CPU
Easy to setup and configure
I have been using it to run plex for some time and it has been working really well. It is very simple to add new componants like ram and ssd.
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.
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.
