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

Comment:
This NAS replaces a LaCIE 2Big 2Tb unit. The LaCIE controller failed and I lost alot of information that I had not gotten about to backing up. Lesson learned, my poor on that. The setup of the DS110j was extremely simple and I was back online in a couple of minutes immediately after receiving the pkg from Newegg. It has a static IP and is a quiet performer with transfers rates that are what is expected from NAS of this caliber, not lightning rapidly but strong and fast. I particularly like the reality that I can configure the NAS to turn off when not becoming utilized during the day to save power and offer some level of security from hackers. So far, no difficulties. Unit is working flawlessly and I hardly know it is sitting in the corner of the area. Nicely worth the funds I believe. I'll see how it holds up immediately after a longer period. Hopefully it will be better than the LaCIE it has replaced.

-Economical-low energy-loaded with features-extensive support-Fun! The blue LED on the front of the case is as well vibrant in my opinion. Darn design and style engineers! I put surfing wax more than it to attenuate the intensity. I use it for remote access https & ftp, download station, and media server. Im at college utilizing the university's web services and so can not download some of the factors I need. So I just send a list of torrents to my DS and have my files download to my DS. I then access them remotely. I also use this guy as a house (parents property) media server, connected to the Television, indirectly. I have streaming radio, music, and films by way of DLNA. I had to use our PS3 (DLNA compatible) to play movie formats not supported by the SAMSUNG HDTV codec database.

Cost successful and works nicely. You have to have a little bit of know-how to set up the server. Other than that, it was quite effortless. I'm only using it to carry out regular back-ups to all the PCs in the residence. The NAS can do substantially far more than that.

I tested this speed more than 100BASE-T Ethernet. I uploaded a 4 GB file in 7 minutes and the transfer price is 10 MB/Sec . this is an excellent transfer price for a 100Base-T network that maxes out at 12 MB/sec. On Synology's web site they show 40MB/sec up and 80MB/sec down over a Gigabit Lan. Working with wireless - properly your mileage will by no means attain these speeds in genuine life. none I tested some of the apps and services. FTP and Photo Station, they are effortless to setup and deploy supplied you are familiar with networking and IP.

I owned numerous diverse NAS's over the years from Netgear to Lacie's and I have to say this is the best I've ever utilised. Has a wonderful internet interface and each configuration you can believe of. Every NAS I've owned has either died or just been to slow to use. So far the speeds on this appear good. The make excellent isn't as very good as some other folks. This a single has a cheap plastic really feel while a lot of other folks are aluminum. Not truly that massive of a deal.

Little, almost silent, and low energy consumption. Has a gigabit nic. Relatively uncomplicated to set up. A plethora of advanced possibilities and functions. You must use the included disc for initial setup.Presently I have no use for most of the bells and whistles. I'd like to see and even less costly model that is only a NAS, but that can't be counted against this exceptional model. I'm utilizing the DS110j paired with a 2tb WD20EARS drive to store all my ripped motion pictures and share the files over SMB for two xbmc boxes. Previously these files had been on my laptop or computer which had to be on to watch a film on either tv. Now my films are generally readily available on the network.

Worked correct off the bat, strong OS, lots of possible. No "pay to upgrade" attributes like a lot of the a lot more consumer oriented NAS's. Can do something you want a NAS to do. Has a new, substantially upgraded/different version of its OS known as DSM three.. Most of the help information on the site *still* refers to DSM two.0x. Go to the site, and attempt to figure it out based on their documentation and you will see it is not straightforward. You have to go by several internet pages and layers for every single step. Their EZ web connect wizard only supports a handful of routers, not the Verizon FiOS router. If you have port forwarding memorized you'll be OK. Bought it with SAMSUNG Spinpoint F4 HD204UI 2TB drive - performs well and quietly. Their hardware compatibility list is also 6-ten months out of date. If you just want a regional NAS for files, this is just overkill.

Affordable price tag, compact, effectively constructed, quite quiet. 3 USB ports. Several attractive capabilities for backup, web access and remote safety camera control. Responsive, beneficial tech help by telephone. A real bear to set up! Bought a 1TB Samsung HDD that was on the approved compatibility list. The software provided with the Synology unit failed to configure it automatically as it must have. Regardless of a long conversation, tech support was stumped. Lastly figured it out by myself making use of brute force and manual stepwise configuration. Works on my 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate machine, but still unsuccessful in accessing it with the XP machines on our network. 1) The Synology unit ought to be operating at all occasions or it will interfere with the routine saving of files. The O/S will hang as it searches in vain for the inaccessible NAS unit and the conserve operation have to be terminated. two) With no consulting me, the SynologyAssistant application installed a graphics system named ImageMagick that I have no use for because I use Photoshop and Lightroom extensively in my work. Not clear how to get rid of it with out getting rid of the SynologyAssistant as well. 3) I bought this unit to replace a Linux server that I felt was also considerably perform to maintain. Not positive if this will be an improvement.

I purchased this NAS with the objective of utilizing as a file server/backup along with ripping all of my DVDs to it and streaming it various devices around the home. I have to say I'm very impressed by this tiny unit. The setup took some time to format and install the Synology OS to the HD but it was actually simple to do. Getting the unit working on the LAN as nicely as setup to be used from remote locations was also very uncomplicated. The device can in fact automatically configure the port-forwarding and setting of the router (if it supports your router). I have a router that is running a tomato firmware which it supports.Streaming performs excellent for both video, audio, and pictures. Has a ton of capabilities that I may well under no circumstances use to boot. I very advocate this unit if you just require a home file storage, or a place to stream out your media. Anything else it does is just icing on the cake. It is a bit pricey I know it expenses a bit a lot more than some units but it's actually worth it. Seeing every thing else it can do tends to make you really appreciate how many features Synology has packed into this device, that other corporations make you obtain far more "business" oriented models to get. I have not second guessed acquiring it for a moment.

Works as advertised in a three individual tiny small business atmosphere. Quickly and appears to be reliable. Also simple to install. None, it even came with all the cables I needed such as Ethernet.

Great for backups with Macintosh Retrospect & Windows XP & Vista. None. This device is uncomplicated and functions wonderful with Retrospect 6.1 for Mac. Set up was almost certainly an hour. My PPC Mac backs up itself and a networked windows machine. Really rapidly. I do not need to have to give any attention to the Windows machines as the Mac does every thing more than the network. I have not employed it for any other purpose, although it appears to be in a position to do a lot much more. I especially like being in a position to preserve the device far away from my major work location, locked up in a diverse space.

Quite nice NAS, TONS of features, quick, configurable, appears to have excellent support from Synology and from the user community. Continuous upgrades to the DSM which is a good touch. Looks incredibly nice. Appears awful loud... I have this sitting on my desk subsequent to my monitor and preserve thinking that I want to discover a new property for it. Can be complicated to set up if you want to use all the bells and whistles. If using as a simple NAS for standard storage and some server wants, Synology is the way to go.

Installation is super effortless.Following that you need to install the new DSM3....The interface will turn out to be substantially easier! I have set up my laptop, PS3 and Iphone to share all the folders! It has a nice iphone app. The community help is a big assist also. You will locate a lot of answers. The transfer speed is great also. I have to upgrade my routerƔ+ years) so I can at least have a wireless N router which will make file transfers quicker as well.The Tricky drive mapping utility is very handy and easy to use. none so far.

This item does far more than I require it to do. Setup was quite easy ྫ minutes to format and set up a 1TB drive. I setup manually) I am working with this to back up my home computers pictures music and such. The web interface is easy and easy to navigate as absolutely everyone has stated. I purchased this unit based on critiques of other Synology products here and on the net. I will purchase a multi drive unit for my office as I like the good quality and software program of this unit. My HD is a Western Digital RE3 1TB (WD1002FBYS)so I ought to be excellent for five years none to speak of This company only tends to make NAS devices so I really feel they do a wonderful job at generating this technology uncomplicated to use and inexpensive. For 贶 bucks you cant beat this deal

Incredible. Precisely what I was looking for. I run a SBS at perform with 10 users. Got this for property and among my desktop, laptop, iphone, ps3 and girlfriends laptop every thing is totally dialed in. iSCSI drives on both laptops, itunes server is best, backed up to my old external usb HDD. None. Check the forums and wiki on how to operate and youll be fine. Would have purchased the 2 bay.

Packed with feautures. Effortless to setup and use. Totally very. Its small. It just works It doesn't make pizzas or get me a beer. This factor may possibly be greater priced than other NAS solutions but it is worth just about every penny. Ive had this factor for virtually 3 months. I bought it immediately after a lot of hours of analysis. I'm glad I did. It was simple to set up. It has a ton of features (and they function). It is virtually absolutely quiet. I have it scheduled to commence in the morning and shut down at night. I use it to share music/video/pictures and host files on my network. I also use it as a print server and a camera server. I also use it as a internet and database server for developing in php.
