DDR5 gives on-die error correction Extra bays give cache options Compatible RAM upgrades TrueNAS compatibility


Easy setup, when knowing exactly what you need. Recommend adding RAM, any DDR4-sodimm. I used 3200 even though 2666 is recommended and it works. Great server for plex!


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.



- Easier than I expected to setup; - smaller than I expected, which is great!; - quieter than I expected! Overall Im surprised with the quality, ease of use and speed.



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.

This was supper easy to set up!!
