I upgraded from a DS216j which is 8 years old now. I thought it was a good time to upgrade to the 224+ since Synology will force usage of Synology brand drives on new models. I wanted to stay with Synology because of the reliability and DSM ease of use. The migration was painless and I like the increased performance and additional memory option the 224+ has.
Synology NAS arrived early and was easy to set up. Operating without faults!!
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.
Decent price for the hardware, sleek design, upgradable RAM, software updates are frequent, drive bays are solid, can control fan speed for the CPU
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.
It was much faster than I expected, being my first NAS. Playing games off this thing in a SHR2 array, streaming from PC installed games, and also a Launchbox Retro collection works fine, and I have no issues.
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 to set up and configure Just make sure eSATA connections are snug I like the individual drive lights on each drive
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.
Easy to setup and configure
Drive trays are identical to other Plus-series DiskStations, making it very quick to move drives between units Good support for migrating arrays DiskStation OS is pretty easy to use Synology's proprietary RAID modes are easier to expand and make better use of disks with varying capacities, compared to traditional RAID modes
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.
- Well made - Nice little heatsink on the chip. - Fast ... really fast !
It just works. And in the computer world thats a big win. Runs as fast as a local hard drive.
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.
