Long video but covers all the configurations:

This a entry level NAS but I have used older version of these before, they are user friendly and great for people who are just backing up files and streaming content within or to external devices which does not require trans coding. I would definitely go with these over something that expensive to gauge actual usage in the long run. No point of spending that much if your needs are basic. You cant really compare this to the 720 the processors and additional features are a whole different ball park so not comparable.
Off course I use their movie player and nas management apps on my samsung constantly.
I cant find bench mark comparisons for the CPU but if I had to guess I would have to say significant in read/write speeds. Why you ask cause integrated SoC CPU's have made big jumps year after year. If you are still using stock ram that alone will make the whole NAS run a lot more fluid compared to the 212P (2Gig vs 512MB). If you are just doing basic file backups and file sharing within a network probably not worth it for you yet if its all working properly.

This review said no. Was looking at it since it had more memory then my Synology DS220j I just bought but I guess it's not more powerful then the one I already got so I'll prob keep it. I'm mainly just using it for Time Machine backups (+ more storage) since my Unraid Tower seems like it stopped supporting it. I do like the front USB port and copy button, which my Synology doesn't have, but I just bought a USB extension cable to give me front port access.
I have a 231 that I used to run Plex on. But I eventually put it on a 253 because the 23x doesn't have the horses needed for the current Plex demands. It just wasn't terribly reliable.I also ran the downloads etc on the 23q so the combination just might have been too much.
