Bought this a couple of weeks ago. Set it up yesterday. I just popped in 5 hard drives and let it do it's thing. The NAS was setup in less than 30 minutes and connected to my network. I did some...

Why do the DIY guys always show up on these threads? Go to some tech thread/site instead. It's not a deal to spend hours building something you can get for $500 plug and play.

This isn't a workstation, it's a NAS appliance. I was really impressed by how easy everything was to setup. Their "quick connect" proxy server, and find.synology.com setup, was a very nice addition...

General purpose workstations outnumber proprietary NAS devices in the home market thousands to one, so what are you talking about? W10 outnumbers linux by an ever growing number as well, which is...

^ I don’t even know where to start with your post. There’s too much to argue with you about and it won’t matter because you’ve already made up your mind although you obviously have never set one of...

I can just about assure you that this only has a gigabit ethernet port, which is obviously the bottleneck. *facepalm* Oof... And unlike a generic workstation, you have no ability to upgrade it w/...

I can just about assure you that your DIY and prebuilt alternatives will NOT read and write faster than this box, especially with two m.2 cards. You obviously have not tested real world performance....

a very good point! i have the same professional experience as you and i will gladly pay the stupid tax for something that just works out of the box. Besides, this is still cheaper than paying the...

$100 for the mobo+cpu+memory. $100 for the case. $50 for the PSU. $100 for Windows. There's $350. And I'm being generous on the case because you won't find one like it for anything near $100. Sure...

I already did... twice. DIY and prebuilt alternatives. Both were significantly cheaper, both can run W10, and both are fare more capable as I already outlined with passmark scores and more. C'mon...

This is a solid post. I’ve had every computer and server in the book. I’ve had the most expensive hardware you can imagine and put together beastly builds. I’ve also tinkered with many of the DIY NAS...

Dood! Do your homework. The whole deal with the Synology mainboard is that it's small, low power, and fit for purpose. The J3455 Celeron it uses is not a socket chip and is generally purchased...

Three reasons i can think of (without much thought) Ease of use Uptime Power Usage Ease of use By far the most important aspect I see is ease of use. Some NAS come pre-installed with many...

You don't have any W7 or W8 keys lying around? Most people know how to get W10 free or next to free. I linked you to a prebuilt Dell T40 at half the price and many times the capabilities, so I'm...

I replied to someone else but what is power usage going to be using Windows always on? Also windows adds additional cost. Finally that’s a bad comparison. The DIY server is more like buying a...

Yup, that's why I like W10, as its turn-key, and pretty much everyone already knows how to use it, rather than having to learn a new Synology interface. Remember to compare apples to apples. ...

Obviously using Windows sounds easiest. I don’t think I can handle the Linux alternatives but what’s power consumption like with a full windows PC running 24/7 like that?
