Lots of outlet space
Arrived quickly, was well packed and no damage. Setup was straight forward, and I charged the battery overnight before use. Plenty of outlets of both BU and surge protected to run my PC. Worked fine through a power outage with no indication at all of a loss. I did a controlled shutdown, a precaution as the outage lasted 2 hours. Everything as advertised
I was upgrading from an older DiskStation (DS 214+) and wanted a similar product. This functions well for a home/small office NAS. I bought two 12TB hard drives, installed them easily, booted up the DiskStation, followed the guidance on the Synology web site to migrate from my old Synology NAS, and was up and running in a few hours. I used HyperBackup to do the migration, so I have a full backup in case I need any files on the new NAS. The price point is pretty good for this easy to set up and use NAS.
Easy to setup and not to bulky
PFC compatible - works VERY well USB ports for charging devices LCD readout I've had this since 2010. It is now 2013 and its still working.
High quality, well made. A good deal when on sale.
Verry small Feel durable Metallic
PROS: Excellent for cloud storage of all my personal and office documents and photos.
- Does everything advertised - Fast enough (with the right disk) to allow saturating the network connection
Set up is easy, web based interface is convenient and doesnt require drivers or custom apps to be installed, tons of extras like Docker and other integrated applications.
-Offers Protection -Very long cord -Great utility -USB and Type-C chargers -Surprisingly compact
Operated exactly as advertised. This review unit arrived with excellent timing. The day after I installed it the power here went out for over an hour with several outages the following week! Not only did the BU 600 keep my cable modem, gigabit switch and a high end router running without missing a beat, I was even able to keep my phone charging. Estimated run time with the new battery and minimalist load was 3 hours+. Of course age reduces the battery capacity, but if you use this product in your server room, it will keep your web connections and routers running like nothing happened for at least 60+ minutes Management software is a free download. The unit was detected on my win7/64 laptop USB and windows drivers installed, and then I installed the APC software. No eyebrow raisers there. Wall mounting holes a nice touch. USB charge port @ 1.5amps shows engineers are listening to customers. I'm seeing this all over the business lately. I just bought a nice desk lamp that has a USB charge port on it.
Setup was pretty easy and I have only started to use the Synology Web interface, but setting up a network drive and a scheduled backup using the Synology software was simple enough. I have been using some other software for backups, but is was causing performance issues with my Autodesk software, that caused me to stop backing up my data. So far this DS420+ seems to be working excellent, coming on when needed and going to sleep the rest of the time. I have very large data sets that need to be protected through redundancy, and this seems to be the answer. My various CAD programs haven't been getting bogged down with the Synology NAS over the first few days of operation.Started out with (2) Seagate IronWolf ST6000VN001 6TB drives, it's a little investment that is already starting to pay for itself, and providing peace of mind over data loss.
