Synology Disk Station DS210j & DS410j NAS Reviews


Mon 2010-02-08 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan
TechwareLabs, Tweaknews, and XtremeComputing have reviewed two network attached storage (NAS) devices from Synology, the Disk Station DS210j and Disk Station DS410j.

Let's see what they had to say:

  • TechwareLabs: Synology Disk Station DS410j NAS:

    "All too often we see software as an after though to the hardware and in the case of the DS410j it is refreshing to see that attention was spent in both areas. Indeed we simply can’t say enough about the software included with the DS410j. Every feature we tested worked as advertised and without any issues. The quality of the unit itself is superb and the thought behind the engineering and design is apparant the moment we began to investigate the Desk Station further. Software updates come out on a regular basis supporting new features and bringing new life to those already present. Considering the value the DS410j represents to small businesses, home users, and home office’s in addition to the excellent quality of the software and hardware the DS410j easily qualifies for our top honor the Editors Choice Award."

  • Tweaknews: Synology DS-210J Two-Bay NAS Review:

    "With home networks becoming so common these days, more users are expressing interest in a NAS not only to centralize storage, but also to expand functionality of their network. Synology's DS210j is a great example of a low cost and easy to set up NAS unit geared towards home users and their demands. Storing and sharing multimedia files is a top priority in the home market, and the DS210j has those needs covered by providing a DLNA media server, iTunes server, audio station, download station, and various other features."

  • XtremeComputing: Synology DS210j - 2 Bay NAS Review:

    "After using the DiskStation DS210j, I can confidently say that Synology really do make great NAS units. The unit itself is designed well, both inside and out, and although white products are always going to be associated with a certain other company, it does well to stand on it’s own two feat in terms of styling.

    It’s clear that a lot of effort has gone into the web interface on the DS210j, as pop up menu’s and wizards float into place and fade in and out on open/close. Everything is laid out clearly, and even though there are a lot of options to configure, they’re all documented clearly right there on the device."
