I'd been using an old PC as a home server for years. When it became too old to function, I started evaluating alternatives and landed with this device. So far, it's been a fantastic replacement and a reliable, easy-to-use home server for file storage and media streaming. The interface is very easy to use -- while it's packed with software features that can get quite complex, the basics are ready to go right out of the box (and would probably be enough for the majority of home novice users). I loaded mine with two Seagate NAS drives, and so far so good. I especially appreciate that this device is so much more energy efficient than running a PC all day and night (there's already been a noticeable impact on my energy bills!).

First-time NAS implementor. It's very nice when you have a centralized location to store personal content safely and be able to access it on any device, from anywhere. It's also wonderful to know, in a RAID1 configuration, if one of the drives fails, the data is not lost. I purchased two 4TB Seagate IronWolf drives for this product and I'm really happy. Synology's support site is good, with lots of helpful information. I recommend going there to see say, the differences between the DS218, DS218play, DS218j. One thing that is tough to beat, and a real treat, if you need to chat with a NAS expert, no problem, they are there. You can also submit a ticket, right from within the control panel of the NAS. Initial setup was very easy - perhaps too easy. I ended up with a redundancy configuration that works well for beginners (shr) when I really wanted RAID1. Before placing any data on the drive, a quick chat with support, and I learned what I would need to do to switch it to RAID1. Then I inquired as to what would be required to map a drive letter from a Win10 client to the NAS. Chat saved the day. I very much like the ease of downloading some Android Apps to use on my cell phone to access the NAS. Functionality? A ton of it in a very small enclosure. Just days after getting it set up, I am wondering how I lived this long without a NAS in my home for my network....

I've put in several of these devices and none have ever failed to do their job. Easy access via Synology account allows you to monitor, make configuration changes, and even update/install software packages, as well as the DSM, without having to remote into another machine on the local network. With a number of configuration options (filetype, RAID version, etc.), there is a use in every environment, whether it be work or home; and the configuration wizard makes setup quick and easy.

Install was very easy. Use HD from their recommended list. Works great. I can map shared folder. So many packages available to install depending on what features you want. Was tired of resorting to my pc to show photos/videos. Now they are shared on my network for all to see from any device.

First NAS I've ever installed and used. It's fairly straight forward, and there's a very informative YouTube set-up guide, that's about 24 videos long to help with every step for the novice user, like me. I backed up all of my important documents, photos, and downloaded and ripped movies. I set up a Plex server on it, and seems to work flawlessly. Remote access outside my network seems to be a catching point for me, but I suspect that's just how it is set up through my router. The fact that it is diskless and you can choose how much storage you need, and want to invest in for the future is very nice, especially if you don't need a whole lot of storage.

This is a must if u are into future technologies. Personally I use this for multiple purposes,i.e, surveillance cameras, seamless cloud storage of pictures, audio recordings, and data files from computer. Basically, this device has free apps to expand this NAS to fit your needs. For example, u can host your own website or DNS server on here. Just download the appropriate app they have available. The only catch to cameras are the licenses they use. This NAS comes with 2 camera streaming licenses. camera can have at least two streams.

Really like the User Interface with this Product...I had a WD Product prior to this and one of my beefs with WD was the poor user interface. Everything you need is in one place and you can choose additional applications that can all live in the same interface deepending on your needs. Hardware seems well built and easy to get drives in and out. Really like having two USB 3.0 slots in the rear of the box. So far so good and has been working like a champ. Recommend.

I had and issue that I had caused and contacted amazon help on this product and they got me in touch with the Mfg tech support (this was on a Sunday). We worked together and they were very helpful and helped me resolve my issue and I am very pleased with the outcome. I had a previous Nas that was about 10 yrs old that died on me and it was slow doing my computer backups over my lan. This unit is much faster and it gives you the ability to expand the memory, for my application I probably will not use because the system doesn't show that it is using a large chunk of the onboard memory. Time will tell but so far after a few weeks of use I am very satisfied with my purchase.
