The Synology DS414j may not be the most glamorous of NAS drives, if indeed there is a candidate leader, but it is well-made and packs just enough power to not embarrass itself in basic benchmark tests for its file-serving speed. That it runs the same care...

Aimed at home users with tighter budgets, the 4-bay DS414j unit retains an old version chassis and at its core we have the MindSpeed Comcerto 2000 dual-core 1.2GHz ARM processor which is paired with only 512MB of RAM.The product is running DSM 5.0 without...

Solid transfer rates, Large number of addon packages increase the value and flexibility, Mobile Interface and Apps are very useful and well done, USB ports (USB 2.0 and USB 3.0) for printer sharing and file backup / sharing, USB 3.0 port actuall
Over $400 without drives (although it could be argued that it is well worth it), Please drop by the Bigbruin.com Forum and feel free to post any comments or questions.
The Diskstation DS414j 4-Bay NAS server is just another fine example of what Synology is capable of. The aesthetics of the design are retro and understated, and with the minimal noise created by the device it will be able to disappear in most home or smal...
Performed faster than claimed, Good price point for its capacity
External design and drive mounting is dated, No expansion support
The Synology DS414j is a reasonably powerful, cost effective NAS for SOHO use. It's not going to blow the doors off, but for small workgroups that can benefit from all a NAS and Synology's deep bench of DSM tools can offer, it's a great starting point for...
When benchmarking NAS products such as the Synology DS414j we are always more concerned with the file transfer tests rather than the synthetic benchmarks such as CrystalDiskMark and Atto Disk Benchmark. The synthetic benchmarks are a good way of gather...
Dualcore processor, USB 3.0 support, 20TB capacity across 4 disks, Latest Synology DSM 5.0 software
Cumbersome disk loading technology, No hotswapping, Single Gigabit port, No front panel USB, Single USB 3.0 port
We liked The fast dual-core processor helps keep the DS414j moving data at a decent rate across the Gigabit network interface, and taking backups becomes a lot quicker thanks to the USB 3.0 port at the back. It's also very quiet in operation, even with tw...

Dual, core processor, USB 3.0 support, 20TB capacity across 4 disks, Latest Synology DSM 5.0 software
Cumbersome disk loading technology, No hot, swapping, Single Gigabit port, No front panel USB, Single USB 3.0 port
Quick enough to cope with file sharing as well as hosting email and other applications normally run on a Windows or Linux server, the DS414j ticks most of the boxes for a small business NAS appliance. At 20TB it's also got the necessary capacity and, wit...
Good build quality, Simple setup, Intuitive software, Well priced
Performance uninspiring, No tool-less drive installation
It may be no speed king, but the DS414j is one of the cheapest four bay NAS around. It's also quiet and sports Synology's class leading DSM software making setup a doddle. As such the DS414j is the best four bay budget NAS we've tested, but we would highl...
