I started out about seven years ago with a pair of CS407e's, or maybe that was DS407e. Either way, it was a four-bay box, couldn't support more than 2TB devices, had a big 64-meg memory for OS and whatever, only 100mb single network, and those things just spun and spun and ran and ran all day long servicing an active FTP server. The DS1815+ with eight drives in it doesn't even get warm,not to mention not even breaking a sweat. The Web UI is a little crinkly with access technology, but you play with it enough and you can get your work done. On Sat, 14 Oct 2017 17:24:51 +0100, you wrote:
Might have changed but the shell environment in Synology diskstations was Busybox. So you don't get all the usual commands and switches.
On the other hand, I gather the gui has improved since i last looked 4 years or so ago. I still have my 2011 model as a secondry backup device. They're good little units.

It does, but who needs to remember all the complicated switches and qualifiers to Volume Manager commands when the GUI works just fine and is quite usable?

The manufacturer's Web site suggests that it supports ssh, which should eliminate any accessibility problems.

Hi all, I plan to get myself a NAS. I am thinking of the Synology DS216J. What do you think?
We have QNAP NASs in the office which are unfortunately not very accessible with their Web GUI. We also have 2 old Buffalo DiskStations which still work though they are very old. their interface is also pretty accessible.
I pretty like Synology's interface which you can also check out online: https://www.synology.com/en-us/dsm/live_demo
Great when you can have a look at interfaces.
Greetings, Simon
