Synology Disk Station DS-110J NAS 1-BAY SATA NAS Server W/ Photo Share

Comment:
The Synology Disk Station is very properly designed. Installation of the SATA Drive was straightforward. The photographs and descriptions in the user manual give a individual a high degree of confidence for 1st time installers. After the hardware is completed, the installation of the software program was also flawless. There are a great many settings to configure the NAS for your wants. These come with a panel on the suitable that explains in detail what each setting does. When again, this inspires confidence to the 1st time user. Following the settings are performed, the method is a "set it and forget it" form. It does what it is developed to do without having too much user intervention. Specifically what I was searching for! None at present. A fine choice for anyone with even entry-level abilities. We are utilizing it in a smaller workplace with 6 users without having any difficulty.

An essentially reasonably priced Synology consumer NAS.High performance.Tons of capabilities.Ideal-in-class management interface.19w idle (please don't use your old 250w desktop for a 24ǝ residence NAS - this will pay for itself a couple times over in 1 year)Win 7 64-bit SMB GigE client: 54 MB/s reads, 31 MB/s writes, MacBook similar.(its not unusual for numerous consumer NAS units to do only 12-30 MB/s) Surveillance feature supports five IP cameras, but only has license for you to install 1, and you really should check out the current costs on the additional licenses if you program to add a lot more. This function can also only do splitscreen all camera view under IE.Even though there is huge online product support for Synology NAS units, and the management technique is a very nicely developed web interface - for some reason they never ever bothered to link the contextual support pages for each feature to the management interface.Which is either really ironic, genuinely weird, or just unbelievably lazy. I have waited a long though for an inexpensive Synology NAS - and here it is. For consumers, I think this is the finest selection of all their models. Users who are seeking specifically to optimize throughput or use this much more as a common purpose server really should refer to the Synology website and think about the DS109 and DS109+.

File Station is the very best app ever. Everyone that has tried copying files over a LAN utilizing wifi on Windows PC(s) can actually appreciate the information transfer rates in file station.PhotoStation works good as advertised. So far I'm not a huge fan of Audio Station along with it's quirks, but time may possibly fix that. USB expansion/Print Server is also a major selling point. I haven't had to reboot the unit. For the most part all features are redundant with a better variant elsewhere, but the much more attributes the greater. Download Manager/Re-director/Station is only optimized for torrents and direct urls. A work about is to direct your LAN downloads to the NAS, but that defeats the purpose meaning that your PC/Mac has to stay on. There need to be an app to grab videos from a webpage also. CPU not ready for primetime (audio drops when streaming videos although uploading files). MPEG2 will not stream to Xbox 360 but the same format streams fine from three Vista PC(s). Can stream to multiple Freeagent Theater + , but not the PS3 at the very same time (could be the PS3). Itunes Server will not stay mapped if PC is rebooted (may be a Windows concern). I chose not to deduct eggs, since there had been no unpleasant surprises. I recommend any potential buyer use the site demo, read the wiki, and the forums to know what the item's limitations are. The wise selection would have been to go with a two bay remedy for RAID information redundancy, but I chose to go with an external USB answer equal in size to back up the back up saving ์ (the 209 would've been 赧 plus 贫x2 for 2TB drives versus employing a two or 3TB USB drive. It also would be great if Synology could get a deal with dvr manufacturers to develop a plug-in. Works with WD20000CSRTL even though it's spicy at 41 to 48 degrees F (higher than 44 worries me and beyond 50 is a red flag).
