I'm really impressed with this model, I'll be looking forward to the 8-bay variant.

I have the DS414. Went for it because of the dual NIC. This looks like a decent step up from it, supports visualisation too!

Very impressed with my Synology, after using a 'spare parts' server for years, the simplicity of them is great.

My old server is only on for about 1 hour per week now, to keep a backup of the Synology.


It is a large initial cost, especially when you compare it with the fantastic HP Microservers. Will take a few years to make back the power saving difference, I think mine uses about 15W idle. My old server is nearer 90W idle.

Brilliant products. Have been using synology for some years now and never had any issues.

Visualisation? Don't you mean virtualisation - VMware, VirtualBox, KVM, et al? Last time I looked into Synology that was up there in the spec list (although in the end I chickened out and just bought a WD "appliance" - minimal setup).

Yes, yes I do

Damned spellcheck. First I right clicked it, then changed it to American spelling with a z in it, then edited it back out. Should have ignored that pesky red line

Apart from it looking like a mini microwave, very nice
