Pros: I absolutely love this product. It is extremely fast, especially compared to other products such as the Western Digital Live Duo. While this is a tad more expensive (I paid $429 directly through Synology) it is definitely worth the money. I have a small computer store and constantly have multiple computers uploading/downloading to it and with link aggregation this thing is a champ.

Cons: Price. This thing costs as much as the Western Digital Live Duo does, but doesn't include the drives! It's not really a con though because you get to pick your own hard drives and the western digital green drives are junk anyways.

Overall Review: If you can afford it, but it. I also had the 212+ but the whole overall performance on this one is better. Here is a link to the performance chart between the models: http://www.synology.com/products/performance.php?lang=enu#tabs-2

Pros: Works great, much better than other inferior products.

Cons: Cost. You can find the same type of product on sale for $15 from other manufacturers.

Overall Review: I would pick this one over the other products. We have the others in the office and this one is much better.
