What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Excellent youtube video instructions to the fore. That being said, you have to be a bit tech savvy to configure these functionalities.
Synology nas works no matter how old your tablet or other equipment is. There is absolutely no other system that matches the synology ecosystem. Many applications for the nas itself and for android and apple devices. The remote connect works great, th... Read More
The ds920+ is terrific. The build quality is lower than what they made in the past, but functionality is all there. With dsm 7. Dsm, ds photo ds audio works very well.
It's not as fast as google at syncing and indexing but it’s not bad. Time machine backups are fast from 4 macbook pro machines across gigabit ethernet. Was able to sustain about 50mb/s no problem over the included cat5e cables.

Highlights
Quality
I still have a few things to figure out but over all i’m very impressed with the result
The plus series is amazing with the builtin functionality
The build quality is lower than what they made in the past but functionality is all there
Im doing all this with the basic 2gb ram
Shipping

Packaging/appearance
Theres lots of great third party apps for the nas but dont hesitate to try the first party ones that synology offer right out of the box
Competitiveness
Been using synology products for a while and know them inside out
I needed a liteweight remote unit that i could sync with from my office and home office
I was going to build an unraid nas but every review for synology systems just realized how much of a gap i will have with a custom solution
I am glad i didnt since synology skipped 2022 for upgrading their two bay nas
