Solid performance, Supports 4K video transcoding, User-friendly management software, Lots of apps, Quiet,
Lacks on-board LCD panel, Does not come with storage drives
The Synology DiskStation DS216+II is a whisper-quiet two-bay NAS device that offers good file transfer performance, 4K video transcoding, and a generous selection of apps. It's a breeze to set up and manage...
Good overall performance, 4k video transcoding, DSM suite of applications
No long-term scalability

Before I get into the nitty-gritty I wanted to take a second and really commend Synology for making setting up and managing a NAS extremely easy. As I mentioned earlier in this review, in the past it was extremely hard to setup and manage a NAS, you had t...
Abstract: When I reviewed the Synology BeyondCloud, I quite liked it If anything, the one issue was that it was locked to the original two 3 TB drives This is perfect for the home user, but if you're a power user you might feel constrained Thankfully, Synology make...
Very userfriendly OS (DSM 6.0), Feature rich and broad services, Btrfs and Snapshot support, 4K video transcoding, Low price for x86 NAS

Very good performance, Excellent multimedia streaming features, Handles numerous small office tasks
A bit pricy, eSATA rather than SuperSpeed USB port for external storage
The Synology DS216+ is a great little box, and streams multimedia as well as any NAS box in its class. If you're looking for a central repository for your songs, photos, and movies that any device in your house can acces, you could do far worse. Bu...

Affordable at $300 for featuring a Braswell SoC and BTRFS support. Synology's software is superb.
Ships with 1GB of RAM that you can't upgrade and it lacks HDMIout like Synology's other NAS boxes.
The DiskStation DS716+ was a popular model when it first launched and it was easy to see why. It was the cheapest Synology NAS to support BTRFS and its powerful quad-core Braswell processor meant it could take on all comers.That said we could see the DS21...
