  "Retailing for $400 or more, the Synology Disk Station DS409slim isn’t exactly the cheapest NAS enclosure on the market, but it does offer a lot more than what you’d find in something cheaper. The hot swap configuration for the hard drives is very handy and I really like the tiny footprint. It would be an asset for anyone wanting to put a NAS in an office with cramped quarters. The small size would also make it easy to take with you on the road."

  "The DS409slim is going to be appreciated by users who prefer compact electronic devices. Although it can accommodate as many as four HDDs, its size is very small. Why? Because it uses 2.5-inch rather than 3.5-inch HDDs. This has not affected functionality. The DS409slim is a very capable NAS like any other model from Synology. We have not noticed any differences in terms of speed, either.
  
  Thus, the single serious downside of the 2.5-inch NAS is that its storage capacity is smaller in comparison with 3.5-inch models. External drives with USB or eSATA interface can but partially mitigate the issue."
