After unboxing the unit I took some time to admire the design, get a couple of pics for the squad to gawk at.
Enjoy, cleanup after you're done please :)
She real pretty.
Stay tuned for part 3.
When the courier came to drop off DS925+, I was in a meeting and missed the call. :(
To my surprise they sent a whatsapp saying they would leave it at the closest kiosk for my convenience.
Upon collecting I found it was packaged extremely well, double boxed and heavy duty bubble wrap to ensure...

Disclaimer: I received this device on Mybroadband as part of this promotion. That's not going to influence my opinion at all.
Right upfront I'll address the elephant in the room: the DS120j is an entry-point to get home users into the world of using NAS devices. With only a single hard drive...
This is why having Plex on a NAS truly rocks
If you have a bunch of series saved on a PC or external hard drive and are looking for a way to streamline the way you watch this content, then here is the solution: Plex and a NAS.
Why it took me so long to try this combination out, I do not know...

Hi all
I'm in need of a 8TB 2 bay NAS device.
Now I would really like the Synology DS214+ with 2X Lan connections, excellent read write etc, but just the enclosure costs as much as my budget almost. Synology has FULL specs on their site and answer all my questions.
Seagate and WD hardly...
