Synology is the best of what?s out there

This low cost iteration of Synology NAS is perfectly fine for RAID1 or RAID0 storage.  It?s under powered if you wanted to do very many of the hundreds of apps that are available. Resist the urge to make it sing and dance, and it will serve you well. I am doing two Time Machine backups to it, the 3rd Mac refuses to work.  I?m syncing it was Backblaze B2 cloud, and I?m letting it crawl my images making thumbnails - it?s about as busy as it can be. Activity lights are always flashing. If you want a powerful NAS, buy one.  This is a great basic NAS.

Great little home/personal NAS - don?t expect too much

It was easy to install the drives and the attached software. The product worked as advertised. I am anxious to try the Music features, but need to wait for my new receiver to come to try it out.

Nice entry level product

This is my first NAS. I've being using the Synology DS220j for about 3 weeks and I'm really happy with it. The actual installation of the drives and basic configuration is quick, but I'll recommend you take a look at a YouTube disk installation and read more into how to secure your NAS once it is up and running.
