Synology Disk Station is designed and developed perpetually with the concept of energy saving. Compared with average PC counterparts, Synology Disk Station consumes a relatively low amount of power and has the HDDs hibernate when not in use. This not only helps to save energy but also extends the lifespan of the hard disk.
Synology Disk Station truly earns the title of "green product" because of the unique Scheduled Power On/Off feature, and the smart fan design effectively cools down the system with minimum power consumption, yet keeps the system quiet on operation.
Finally, all Synology products are produced with RoHS compliant parts and packed with recyclable packing materials. Synology recognizes its responsibility as a global citizen and is continually working to reduce the environmental impact of the products we create.

This is great NAS i purchased one a few weeks ago to replace an inferior one from a shop - it quiet, great application support from my iphone. Took a while to format my 1tb disk i had inside.

Cant recommend it enough.
 
Oh nooooooooo!!! I just bought mine yesterday and paid £162.98, any chance of getting the price difference back? :(
 
I can't say enough good things about synology's diskstations. Don't think of it just like any other NAS until you read the feature list and play with the DSM demo on their site.

A lot of NAS systems when accessed via a web browser have a similar interface to a router configuration page.
Synology DSM is more like a linux operating system where you can open file managers and move/resize the windows, drag files and generally multitask just like you do on your PC.
 
It's just a shame its so fugly. Probably one of the least good looking Nas boxes, shame you'd have to hide it away.
 
I got the DS211 version of this a while back and it really is amazing. I probably could have coped with the 211j but I always want something slightly better.

DSM is amazing - would recommend these a lot! Great piece of kit.

You got one then ringo! I think it was you I was raving about these to, in your thread a while back ;)
 
Do your 2TB drives come with the latest firmware pre-installed? There were some issues with them I recall. I haven't mine updated yet but must do that.
 
Am tempted by one of these. Have just got shut of my vail server and no backup in place now..

Have got 4 1.5TB Seagate LP drives and nothing to do with them.. Might stick one in a Antec MX-1 enclosure and 2 in one of these..
 
I'd actually recommend the DS211 over the J version but it all depends on your usage I guess. For backups the J is probably fine. There isn't much difference in specs really.
