Over the past few years I have taken particular interest in network-attached storage, or NAS for short. As sharing large amounts of data from a standard desktop computer became problematic, the move to NAS just made sense and today provides a central point to share and store data in our office on a daily basis.

Synology's Disk Station DS-409+ that we're reviewing today supports four hard drives with a powerful 1.06GHz processor and 512MB of RAM. This new NAS device supports 2TB hard drives and therefore can be configured with up to 8TBs of storage.


The DS-409+ is designed to appeal to small-and-medium business users seeking an affordable solution for efficient data sharing and backup. Read our full review where we take a closer look at the Disk Station DS-409+ unit's hardware, software and performance metrics for your consumption.
