This review is from: Synology DiskStation 2-Bay (Diskless) Network Attached Storage DS212j (White) (Personal Computers)
After all of the positive reviews for the Synology DiskStation 2-Bay (Diskless) Network Attached Storage DS211J (White) I saw that an updated model was just released and decided to try it out.

Coming from an iomega StorCenter NAS and a NetGear ReadyNAS, I have one word for the DiskStation: WOW.

The D212J makes these other product lines look like thumb drives - mostly due to Synology's DiskStation OS. This feels like a full-fledged system; more or less a dedicated server. Faster, quieter and exponentially more customizable without being overwhelming. And so far, it's proving to be much more reliable.

Every feature and detail (and there are far too many to list), from start to finish, has been thoroughly developed. From the box, to the installation CD software (which remotely installs the OS on... Read more

There were a couple of hic-cups, however. First, the process was time-consuming. Mostly because the HDD I added had to be formatted by the system. That took 10 hours. Luckily, I just left it over night to run. Second, when I tried to log-in the first time via Safari, I was not able to log-in. I sent a note to tech support and they got back to me the next day with a live phone call. Tech support was in WA, not India or the Philippines. I appreciate companies that support American workers. By the time they called back, I had already figured out that I needed Chrome or Firefox to log-in. They need... Read more

This review is from: Synology DiskStation 2-Bay (Diskless) Network Attached Storage DS212j (White) (Personal Computers)
Nice, I upgraded from DS110j
now i have 2 HDDs in Raid (Mirroring)
I use Western Digital green Disks, no problems so far. (1 year using 1TB wd10ears)

I use it for:

Pros:
* 1 Gigabit connection, (It works with your current 5e cable)
* Backups (Faster backups "LAN")
* Remote administration via Web
* Downloads (torrents)
* Documents uploads and downloads (It doesnt matter if i lose my encrypted pendrive)

Cons:
* No cons here :)

Neutral:
* HDDs setup with error checking can take about 3 hours

Ideal Buy if you are looking for a NAS.
Nice upgrade for home users.
