Review of Synology DiskStation DS713+: Scores 10/10

"This model is the fastest NAS server that I have come across. The intuitive DSM interface is simple enough for the beginner to use yet powerful and customizable for the advanced user. The installation of software aka packages allows the Synology DS713+ do lots of heavy lifting. The Synology package center offers apps ranging from multimedia control, file management, backup, productivity, security and surveillance. It has the ability to transfer files at lightning fast speeds while performing these other multiple functions."

In addition, Synology was the only NAS provider to receive ratings of 9.0 or above for satisfaction as a file server, for storing photos, music, videos, and for backing up home computers.

Synology DX513 Five-Bay Expansion Module Review

The Synology DX513 is a great add-on product and one that gives more options for expansion and performance than it might seem on the surface. We were and are quite happy with the DX513 that we added to our Lab Storage and can see where the Synology Eco System would fit into many business models quite well. With its combination of quality, ease of use and performance we are happy to award the DX513 from Synology with our Gold Key Award.

Synology DS1812+ NAS Review

The DS1812+ offers some advanced hardware features such as dual Ethernet ports and expandability. However, it's the DSM software that places this NAS server above much of the competition.

Synology DiskStation DS1812+ Review

As with other Synology units we've reviewed, configuration and setup of the DS1812+ was easy, swapping between our various configurations for testing required little effort. The DSM software continues to be the most comprehensive around in the NAS space and Synology continues to enhance both the features and usability of the system.
