" ... Love the apps and getting everything also cloud backed up ... "
" ... You can even make it an email server to host your very own email account . ... "
" ... The migration was 100% seamless. ... If you’re new to synology nas products, there might be cheaper options that suit your needs, but if you do go this route, I can’t think of any reasons you’d regret the purchase. ... "

" ... The app works great when it comes to synchronizing your phone and/or laptop. ... "
" ... Amazing Product if you need a NAS or Media Server ... "
" ... As a single user I could easily move from my desktop to my laptop and seamlessly access my files. ... Sure, I can use a PC and FolderMatch, but this should be able to be done NAS-to-NAS directly. ... "
" ... All in all, however, this device surprised me in the best possible way. ... I will definitely consider Synology devices in the future. ... "
" ... I am impressed with the ability to connect all of my computers - Mac, and PC to this unit and access my data quickly. ... "
" ... So be aware of it and make sure to set up security correctly if you don't want to share your backups with someone else :) ... "
" ... Can't say that about Windows. ... Yes, you can build a DIY NAS, with Windoze-server or Linux, but it's a lot of work to set it up, and reliability depends on your admin skills. ... I'm a computer geek, and you need some computergeekery skills to really embrace and love NAS. ... "
" ... The list of compatible devices they have for this is not very long and searching for 128GB and 256GB M.2 compatible storage, I think I found 1 or 2 between Amazon and Newegg that were actually available for purchase, and of course they were overpriced (in my opinion,of course). ... Thankfully, digging through some forums, I found a non-certified M.2 2280 256GB device that someone said works for them in this NAS, and it's decently priced, so I'm about to give that a chance, but I have yet to test it. ...

" ... Synology's website has a very easy to use calculator (google "synology calculator" to find it) to see what you'll be getting with different RAID configurations and hard drives. ... The Package Center has a number of official apps from Synology (there are a million ways to use a NAS), but having ready-access to these well-built packages is inspiring from the "oh hey, maybe i'll use my NAS for that too" standpoint. ...
