The product is certainly that and will be a excellent purchase. The manufacturer have included some great touches and this results in great value for money. You can believe this review, i hope you can try to buy this product if you want know this product. This is actually my 2nd Synology. I had previously bought a Synology DS412+. I wanted this 2nd one as a standby backup which has worked out great. I initially just wanted to centralize a video server for home. But after understanding everything a Synology box can do, it is now my mail server handling several accounts, is my web server with more than 5 domains, monitor's my house with "5" 1024x768 camera's. It serves up audio books to my iphone and ipad. So who need's an apple cloud? Not me!
Setup is incredibly simple, just power it up, hook it up to your router. Run a small utility to find your NAS on the net and then you can load up the os and partition the drive from your favorite web browser. Then you can go to the actual NAS control panel from your browser. Enable the windows file system. Create a user, make some shared folders, and now you reach it from all your windows systems. Turn on mac file service and it will be reachable by your mac mini's and powerbooks. Turn on AudioStation or Filestation and its reachable by your iphone and ipad. Install the Plex package (in the control panel) and even your (modern)TV will see your movies through DLNA. You don't need to know a thing about linux because the control panel is completely graphical and idiot proof.
If you use green drives, it doesn't make a sound. You can even tell it to turn on and off at certain hours and days. And it NEVER screws up! It is has been extremely reliable the entire time.
Technically it is supposed to be a NAS box, but I view it as a centralized "always on" computer that you can use to handle everything you can dream up. What I am really impressed about is with all this it is also a world class surveillance system. I have it setup to run 5 HD IP camera's with motion detection and keeps all of this nicely sorted in a graphical timeline it has been working like a champ. You can even tell it to send you an email or a text message to your iPhone if it detects motion. It will even send you a picture of the culprit with the email! Oh yea, did I forget to tell you it makes an awesome NAS storage box? :)
Well it works so well I started worrying about all my eggs in one basket. You should realize that having so much on one machine is a blessing and a curse because if you lose it you lose everything. My second one automatically turns on once a day performs a time machine sync, then turns off. And If my primary Synology box goes down, the 2nd one is ready to take over while I bring the other one back up.
I was expecting pretty poor performance on this 2nd one, but was blown away that I actually can't tell the difference between my big Synology and this one. It's drawback is that it capable of only one drive thus no raid. But heck! I can literally change out the drives now since at any one time one box is always up. So I have in a way the most reliable way to avoid down time or loss of data.
So Synology guys congratulations on an incredible job! But I do have a wish. The Synology box is completely capable of also being a super firewall/router, and I see you have even the ability to plugin a wifi into the USB for a hotspot. But why haven't you taken the extra step and put a 2nd nic on the box to allow it to become a Wireless access point/Router? You don't even have to write the router code. Just use PFSense, Untangle, smoothwall as a package. I think currently these are stand-alone builds. But you can convince them to make them into a installer package for your box. Since the synology box is always on and so is the router. Why not combine this? The Synology box would become a super router. It would replace firewall routers that cost thousands of dollars. If you do this it would be revolutionary because then the NAS box could load up entire country IP block codes. Block Spammer domains since your the mail server the box can gather the spam ip's at night and block later (with the user determining which is which). And upload peerblock block lists made by users.
I would toss out every router I have at work and at home and buy a new Synology box just for this one feature! Please Synology get PFSense on your NAS!
