I used the DROBO for 15 years. I liked them as well. However, the company went out of business. I didn't know it until my DROBO stopped working. I bought this the beginning of 2024. it was so easy to configure, I have a desktop interface, I use file explorer, and the web interace is very useful too. I wish I knew about Synology before I bought the DROBO years ago. I would still have all the pictures and videos I lost because of DROBO. I give this 5 stars because I have never used Synology support for any reason. Now my friend bought one and is arriving today.
Professional CCTV security system
I use it as a server between 7 computers, it works very fast, I store all my data and image backups on it. Of course, I keep it backed up to another drive just in case this Link Station were to fail. Also the Link Station doesn't take up much space on the desk either. Looks good too and silent. Has a light on it to let you know if it's on or off, which doesn't blind you like some products. You can schedule it to run or turn off whenever you would like. Comes with a 2TB hard drive too. For some more storage you can plug a usb drive into it. I don't know how I got through all these years with out one! I can't say anything about the support, because I haven't had to use it.
works as describe and price
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.
Quick to set up and get running. Web app for mobile devices makes file access easy while on the go!
UPDATE: found the problem - Restrict NTLM: Incoming NTLM traffic Restrict NTLM: Outgoing NTLM traffic to remote servers these will break ability to get to the device cant access over network from domain joined machines. dead clean win10 connects fine. still trying to figure out what is stopping machines from connecting. will update if/when i figure it out.
After trying to price out a DIY NAS solution and adding in the value of my own time, this all-in-one box still comes out on top. Life's just too short.
