Latest release of Earth's best NAS
After owning NETGEAR, WD and QNAP; Synology is the only brand I operate.Pros - very well built - *packed* with features - gorgeous, PC and web-based management software (there's a great demo on their website)Cons - although on par with other NASes, it's pretty expensiveSynology builds a solid piece of hardware with useful things like 4 USB, 2 eSATA, and 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports. And since it's a "Disk Station" the dives are hot-swappable. Although, that's standard stuff for this kind of device. What makes their products truly great is their fantastic software. The feature set is too long to list here, but it's basically a file/backup/web/email server, media streamer, and download manager jammed into a cubic foot box. Which, thanks to their software developers, can be almost completely configured in about 10 minutes.The software is the same on all their models, so if you only need 1 or 2 drives, save a little money...

Excellent
I purchased the Synology DS1511+ after a decade of building my own NAS boxes running Linux for my home NAS system. I looked at all the options, Synolgy, QNap, Drobo, etc. I know that if I wanted to, I could buy a 5-disk chassis, an Atom-based Mini ITX motherboard and PSU for about half the price, but it's not about just hardware. It's about functionality.Buying parts would gives me a computer. Fundementally any NAS box is a computer - and in any NAS box, the software is the key. The Synology DS1511+ is an appliance - it just works. DSM is outstanding. The simplicity of the system yet the sheer power of the functionility is fantastic.Things I like about the DS1511+ and DSM are:1) Simple updates - I updated to DSM 3.2 without a hitch. From inside of DSM. Updating your own Linux build is a learning experience. I've learned. Now I have a life.2) Extremely quite. The saying is "out of sight, out of mind". Well, "out of earshot, out of...

Almost perfect!
There is a setup wizard you can download to find the DS1010+ on your network, update its firmware (you have to download that yourself too), and configure it ready to be managed further. Quite simple to do.The management options have everything I could want except for automatic SMART testing of the drives. This feature has been requested and I expect it to make it into a future firmware update. It takes about 3 clicks per drive to start a SMART test on each drive anytime you want to run one (you can have all 5 drives testing at once if you click fast enough).I ordered 6 2TB LP Seagate drives, 5 to put in Synology DS1010+ in RAID5 and one to keep on-hand for a spare. Over Gigabit Ethernet, the 5900RPM just won't be any issue. I still get over 110MB/sec transfers from the Synology. The drives have all been working fine and have passed multiple SMART tests. The drives DO take a few seconds to spin up if you allow them to spin down after idle. The DS1010+ spins them...

so far so great
i really can't say anything bad about it. it takes different sized and manufacturered hard drives like a champ. (in fact, i put some in tool less because it just seem to fit better.) since i have a mix of old drives, i expected it to act a little weird... and it does: from time to time it will say a drive is about to go out. then it miraculously fixes it. ... the temperatures of the drives are pretty close to each other. (the fujitsu runs hotter than the rest ... weird.) ... the wd green drives seem to always be a bit of a stickler at starting up. sometimes that messes with the mac's time machine activation. (time machine says the drive isn't active when in reality it just didn't wait long enough for the drive to spin up.)it's pretty quiet. the firmware is actually easy to update. ... hell i thought i was going to have to get a server in the future to do my media sharing and camera controls ... but this looks like it will be able to do it all.i definitely think...

Synology DS1010+ as Newspaper File Server - Upgrade from Drobo
Two years ago I built a file server from a MAC G5, then upgraded to a DROBO 4 bay server with DROBOSHARE. The move to DROBO was a mistake, as it was slower and more cumbersome than the G5. The transfer speeds became a bottleneck to our production and I began to notice issues with the info on the files, such as "created" and "modified" dates changing to values that were clearly out of the norm.After a lot of research, we went with the Synology DS1010+. Partly due to the favorable reviews, and partly due to the feedback from Synology when I made inquiries.We received the DS1010+ on Friday (10/15/2010). I installed 2 new Hitachi 2TB Deskstar drives I had ordered new, and moved one Hitachi 2TB drive from the DROBO to the new server. Hitachi is the only drive I use.Startup and setup went without a hitch, the included CD instructions are thorough and easy to follow. The DSM interface is a powerful tool, and it makes setting up the volumes and users...

Great hardware, great software, terrible licensing policy
Moving from an Infrant/Netgear ReadyNas to the Synology Diskstation has been a real treat. The hardware supports some of the fastest read & write times you can achieve with a gigabit NAS device. Synology has obviously spent a lot of time and effort developing a browser-based DiskStation Management (DSM) operating system that is fast, intuitive, and beautifully designed. The DSM includes a number of applications which take the capability of the DSM far beyond mere network storage, and allow it to host blogs and wiki sites, share photos, and stream music to your mobile device (together with their free mobile applications, like DS Audio and DS Photo).While I have run into a few technical difficulties with my DiskStation, most have been resolved quickly, or if not, are not problems that can truly be laid at the feet of Synology.One problem I encountered was with the DiskStation's interaction with my UPS, the...
