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 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)
seamless integration with bitlocker, a built in windows 10 pro feature. I know there are ways to bypass getting a TPM to encrypt your data, but this was affordable and was mostly curious.
Decent price for the hardware, sleek design, upgradable RAM, software updates are frequent, drive bays are solid, can control fan speed for the CPU
Easy to setup and configure
If you've got some spare 5.25" slots (optical drive bays) and lots of hard drives, this works great. 3 useless optical drive bays gone and now you have 4 drive bays, large fan keeps them cool. Now housing my 4 disk RAID array, takes 2 molex to power all 4 drives in case you are running out of sata power connectors. Fit in my old lian li PC-60 case without any issues.
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.
Packaged great and DVD is spotless and worked perfectly.
I bought 2 Seagate 2 TB drives which were not on the Synology recommended list. During setup it complained about the drives, but I installed then anyway in a Raid 1 configuration. The performance is just great. I can transfer data to the NAS much faster than my older NAS. The file system allows me to set folders that mirror the structure of my computer which makes backup run very smoothly.
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.
