Low startup cost, Includes all of Synology's DSM features
Modest specs/performance, Single drive means no RAID1 data protection
The DS115j is a great option for any user interesting in inexpensively creating a basic cloud for their home while retaining all of the functionality of a standard SOHO NAS...
Today's top-end routers definitely compete with single-bay SoC-based NASes, including the DS115j, when it comes to performance. But if you're looking for features beyond basic file sharing and DLNA media serving, NASes are still the way to go.At only $130...
In the past single bay NAS devices haven't been that appealing for a few reasons. First and foremost the limited storage capabilities have been a real problem, having just 1 – 2TB of network attached storage simply isn't enough for most users.Another issu...
Great value, Slick design, Expandable, easytouse software
Slight cost cutting in some areas, Lowpowered CPU limits software, Better performance can be had from larger NAS units
We liked With the extendable software, the DS115j can be used as a basic network server, capable of a vast number of functions such as file downloads, DNS, web hosting and so on. Many other devices do this too, of course, but the intuitive DiskStation Man...

Synology has made headlines with its new cut-price DS115j, and its recommended retail price of just £78. The performance has also been cut, along with useful features like USB 3.0, but if you need these the DS114 is still in the range for around £140. And...
Great value, Slick design, Expandable, easy, to, use software
Slight cost cutting in some areas, Low, powered CPU limits software, Better performance can be had from larger NAS units
Given what you get for your money, I'd happily live with the few negative aspects of the DS115j. Granted, it's not the most powerful NAS money can buy, and while it offers a truckload of features, traditional network file sharing is still the bread and b...
Price, this is truly a budget oriented device, Software, the DSM system offers you the same options as on all the other Synology devices; and that is a lot, Easy set-up, Good transfer speeds
Not the best at handling encrypted shares, Neutral, no eSATA port,
PricingThe Synology DS115j is truly a budget device with its MSPR of just £78 before tax. The NAS is widely available and at the time of writing you can get it for £86.80 at Amazon UK and £81.06 at Scan. In the US it can be found at Newegg for $157.99 and...
Incredible performance for the price bracket, Slick, intuive setup and user interface, Good value for money, Quiet operation
Single bay NAS lack data redundancy, No USB 3.0 ports, Plain design
While we always have some reservations about recommending single bay NAS due to their lack of data redundancy there is no doubt that the Synology DS115j sets a new benchmark for the budget NAS sector. It may not have the looks of main rival the WD My Clou...
Abstract: Over the past few years Synology have packed their product catalogue with a wide range of NAS devices. From single bay models up through enterprise solutions they offer something for pretty much every consumer. That in itself is great but what they are al...
