In Network Attached Storage (NAS)

Very fast setup Relatively intuitive UI

- Very easy set up but you must download the software from manufactures site. - Overall very simple to use once you figure it out. - Excellent for first time users or people on a budget. - 2.5 GbE allows very fast transfer if you have a 2.5GbE network.

Straightforward rack install. Took about an hour with the optional brackets (you need those; they are not optional). First time using Synology. It is even better than I expected. The machine is largely quiet (see cons). I got Docker working relatively quickly and was able to host containers that I could easily access from another machine w/o issue.

I bought this really just to create some shared storage on our home network. It does a great job; so easy to set up and use...almost fool-proof. The OS is simple, and you can run all sorts of apps on it. I installed 4 drives and was up and running in about an hour. After playing around with it, I found this little NAS could do so much more than just share disk space! The built-in app store is full of neat apps, and easy to install. I installed Plex server on and was surprised how well it did with streaming my media content. It worked great except when it came to live video encoding. So, I decided I needed a little more power, and I traded up and bought the next higher end version Asustor sells. It was easy to swap my drives from this box to the new one. I didn't lose anything, and the new box was almost instantly running since it got the configuration on the swapped drives. Newegg handled the return flawlessly and I'm really happy with the purchase.

- Easy setup - Simple yet robust admin interface - QUIET! (Sits right next to me on a shelf at ear level and I can barely hear it. My pc fans are louder!) - LOVE the extra apps like Plex, etc... - Fast data transfer

The product was easy to set-up for someone like me who is not a computer expert but with an above average level of computer knowledge.
