Previously have used QNAPs for the hardware/$ advantage. Synology's software, from initial setup to daily tasks is just superior. Using Business backup and the management/deployment is just dead simple. Intuitive and smooth.
4 bays, easy to put HDD's in and out of. Software works pretty easily - tons of YouTube videos available for walk-throughs. Has enough power to run a Plex server. Currently using the Synology Drive app on all of my phones, and laptops to automatically keep backups on the NAS - works very well. And as the admin on my account, I can get into everyone's individual backups and copy/paste files around. Can set up and run your own VPN server - which I've used several times already through my NAS to see things on my NAS, my NVR, and also my router from remote locations.
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)
Easy migration from older product Can install software from other sources Can upgrade memory
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.
Decent price for the hardware, sleek design, upgradable RAM, software updates are frequent, drive bays are solid, can control fan speed for the CPU
This is an assume system very easy to set up, I work with Dell SAN and this is super easy to configure for the home user. I will be using this for all of my home backups.
Easy to setup and configure
- Well made - Nice little heatsink on the chip. - Fast ... really fast !
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 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.
- easy setup - friendly os - docker works fine
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....
