Super happy with this product, synology all the way. I went with WD reds and they seem to be working fine. Imho choose a model with expandability options for future growth. Also choose the most recent years model and dont go too far back in time like with an 18 model number.

The Synology DiskStation DS720+ is my first NAS drive, which I bought primarily to use as a Plex server. It was easy to set up and works well as a Plex server.

Fantastic machine. It has all the horsepower and expandable potential I could want. Comes with the latest for running Moments for AI picture management. And it is stupendous at that.

I've had the DS720+ for a few weeks now and it's working great. I have a 10TB NAS drive in it right now and plan to get a second as backup soon. Setting it up for my home Plex server was fairly easy after a small bit of research. The speed and quality are great, from my phone to the 4k TV.

I bought this to replace a DS220j. I was spending far too much time with the DS220j, trying to make it do things that it just was not capable of doing. The DS720+ came in, looked around a bit, said "Alright", and got right to work doing every task that I had for it. I now spend my time doing other things and let the DS720+ do its thing. The DS220j is bound for either a life on eBay, or maybe as a remote backup NAS for the 720+. All that device is capable of doing is simple file sharing. That is it. Forget about trying to do anything other than that with the 220j. But the 720+ is doing all of my file sharing tasks, and acting as my Plex server. It is doing some other things, too, but I am forgetting what they are because I simply do not have to think about them any longer. OH! My 9-year-old son and I love DS Note on our iPads. We share silly doodles with each other.

Excellent product. Easy setup. My second Synology NAS and migration to this one was easy

This is a solid product but falls into a weird slot in the current Synology catalog. It is the only quad-core 2-bay, I believe, and while it has SSD cache slots they are of minimal value for a 2-bay. The max official RAM of 6GB is just strange. All in all this is well-constructed and the software is excellent, and priced to match, as one would expect from a Synology NAS.
