Before we reach our conclusion I really have to mention that we did Benchmark the DiskStation DS211 by Synology but we really found little to no speed differences between regular mid-level models (with the QNAP TurboNAS TS-219P+ performing...

There’s a huge amount to like about the Synology DiskStation DS211. Not only is the NAS well made and compact, the DiskStation Manager 3.0 software stands head and shoulders above rivals for not only ease of initial setup but for ongoing use....

The new DS211 is an excellent product really and I’m truly amazed at how smoothly everything works. The box only has 256MB of ram on board and it running a 1.6GHZ CPU, but yet the interface is smooth and problem free. The new DSM 3.0 interface is...
