The DS213j continues Synology's tradition of offering much more than the traditional NAS server. With an energy efficient design and an easy to navigate operating system - the DS213j would be well suited for those interested in a "set it and forget it" in...

Extremely simple setup and use, DSM works well to use and configure the NAS, read/write speed is great, Apps are a nice touch and access from the cloud is fantastic, Almost silent
The NAS takes a little while to start up; Hot-swappable hard drive bays would be a great addition

Abstract: NAS devices are the all-in-one kitchen appliance, the jack of all trades of the home network. They can do one thing, they can do many things, and often you don't even need all of the features. While it's great to own a £350 top-of-the-line model, it doe...
More useful than you can imagine, Massive array of apps and accessories
Not a huge upgrade over the previous model, Could be better looking
We still love Synology's nuts-and-bolts attitude to NAS drives, and its DS213J quickly found itself at the heart of our home network. The biggest problems are the interface and device, both of which could do with more user-friendly and aesthetically-plea...
Easy to use GUI, Clean looks, Good performance for an entry-level product, Highly competitive price point, Virtually silent
Hard drive installation not as simple as loading a drive tray, Not totally plug-and-play, Drive upgrades require system to be totally reconfigured, eTeknix says: Synology are considered to be one of the top contenders in the UK NAS market and from looking
Synology are considered to be one of the top contenders in the UK NAS market and from looking at the simple, easy to use and very well priced DS213j, its easy to see why. It's an affordable system that offers the basics – but at the same time, everything...
For a home user, the DS213j could represent a very good investment. The hardware isn't exactly mind blowing, but it doesn't stop the device from chugging along quite happily with most typical “household” tasks. As a central point to store digital media, t...
very power efficient, well built, can accept two 4TB hard drives, great operating system, attractively designed, almost silent,
A tool less hard drive install would be a nice addition for this model, Kitguru says: An excellent NAS system to suit a very wide audience. It doesn't cost the earth either, Rating: 9.0, Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7, Share, Facebook, Twitter, Google +, Stumbleupo
The Synology DS21xj series has ruled the budget sector for several years now. The DS211j and DS212j were class leading products and both proved the NAS product to beat under £200.Our testing has highlighted that the DS213j has pushed performance parameter...

Can you really call the Synology DS213j an entry-level NAS device? While that is a matter of opinion, we'd argue that in the product line-up of Synology it's an appropriate label. It's a great way to get introduced to Synology's comprehensive firmware a...
