NetworkWorld Bestows Perfect 5/5 Rating on DS1010+

"This device is not only a work horse in terms of what it can do (its list of features is more or less identical to the RS409+ except for the number of bays and dimensions), but it is also remarkably small and amazingly fast!"

"Naked (that is, without drives installed), the DS1010+ is priced at around $1,000 and with five 1TB drives (called the DS1010+ 5100) it is available for just over $1,700. The DS1010+ earns every decipoint of the score of 5 out of 5 I hereby bestow upon it. "

"Best of all, the vast majority of the interface is clear and straightforward, with little in the way of hurdles to get things up and running."

"A NAS with poor performance is of no use to anybody, and so we’re pleased to report that the DS710+ suffers no such shortcomings there, either."

InfoWorld Gives DS1010+ 9.2/10 Rating

"I continue to be very impressed with Synology's small business storage products, and the new DS1010+ is no exception. In fact, it elevates my opinion even more. This feature-packed, speedy, and remarkably affordable five-bay storage array supports just about every file sharing protocol available, can scale up to 20TB of raw storage, can be expanded on the fly, and has a great GUI."

"The Web-based GUI is better than just about every enterprise-level storage management app, and offers a staggering array of services."

"…the DS1010+ hits over 100MBps over NFS from the same host. That's impressive all by itself, but to get that kind of performance on a five-spindle array that costs less than $1,000 (without disk) is amazing."

"In short, it's just chock full of features that are likely to satisfy users of any level of sophistication."

Geek.com Praises DS210j "Great software and tons of features."

"One of the best things about Synology is the community. If you have a question, don’t worry, someone has had that same problem already. They have a community forum and a wiki that should answer all your queries, no matter how geeky."

"Synology’s DS210j ended up being a great NAS. It remained competitive in all the areas where Synology’s previous DiskStation’s have been strong while offering great software and tons of features."
