"I bought the Disk Station with a hard disk of 200 GB. Easy and clean installation of software was completed within 15 minutes. Took 10 minutes or less for it to connect and 30 min to configure the settings, access rights of the users and groups, etc. Since it is connected to my router with FTP port forwarding, I can access to my 200 GB of data anywhere at anytime. Furthermore, the system is super stable; it can be used as print server; and USB ports available for more discs."

"I'm a professional writer, and I often work on several important projects at the same time. My worst nightmares were when I lost my data because I had forgotten to back it up and my system unexpectedly failed. Now that I have a DS-101, I know those nighmares would be highly unlikely to happen again, especially now that making a second level backup has become a no-brainer with this low-cost NAS. Thank you, Synology, for designing such a hassle-free yet dependable backup solution for knowledge workers such as myself."

"I'm a movies fan and I use Media Center 2005 with a beamer to watch TV and DVDs, what I was looking for was a solution that allow me to store many many films, photos and music for on demand multimedia request. The DS-101g+ offer all what I need, SILENCE, HIBERNATION CAPABILITIES, LAN speed (1Gb) FLEXIBILITY in adding devices, easiness of use, it offers many other nice functionality which was secondary too me. Up to now I was unable to found something addressing my needs in the multimedia area at an affordable price. So now I'm an happy user that can watch movies on multiple media center (media center extender on another room) smoothly and easily."

Dear Synology It is important to give feed-back also when it is positive - so here it is: Around a year ago I purchased a Disk Station 101 as my private server and quite soon after I bought two more for my brewery, pub and restaurant in Copenhagen. From the very beginning I was satisfied with the boxes. They have been 100% reliable and even the old firmware has served its purposes. Now 3 or 4 SW versions later the machines are getting more and more advanced and it seems you are really determent to develop this box. I sincerely want to thank you for your products. It is very rare one meet a company with such a high commitment for improvements - for products already very good and mature from day one. Thanks Synology!
In my opinion, the Synology DiskStation is on the best way to offer a leading Storage-and-More-Solution for the SOHO market.

Last summer I began looking for high capacity NAS for my own SOHO application. Then a nightmare get started with hard- and firmware related malfunctions, specification deviations, piles of e-mails with supplier/manufacturer etc. Today, a week after purchase, I´m really really satisfied with my third bought NAS which is a Synology DiskStation DS-101g+ equipped with a HDD (400GB) from WesternDigital designated Caviar WD4000KD. They works fine together.

First, let me start by saying how great of a product the DS101g+ was. I was looking for an inexpensive, reliable NAS device, and this one fits the bill perfectly. It's super easy to set up, and uses very little power (I leave mine on 24/7). I would absolutely recommend this to anyone else shopping around for a NAS device.

Great achievement by all of you. In addition you have been able to follow the trend within NAS-devices adding multi media to the latest firmware release." Sincerely Svend Tveden-Nyborg

For a long time i had an ordinary file server, but this is very expensive for a home user. Therefore I was looking for a NAS unit, and I came across the DS-101j. A cheap solution so I decided to buy and test it. I have had it for some months now, and it's still running perfectly. I use the shared folder, ftp and download part in it. It's great you still develop new features for the slightly older models. Good job. If this was a hotel, I would give it 5 stars :)
Dear Sir, Madam. After having the DS-101j for 1.5 years I bought the DS-106e, it is a great product. Great that you update the firmware sometimes.
Dear Sir, Madam. After having the DS-101j for 1.5 years I bought the DS-106e, it is a great product. Great that you update the firmware sometimes. My compliments also for the very clear manual and installation guide. I hope in future you will add in the firmware a customizable photo website, like working with your own stylesheet and own icons on this photo page. Kind regards, Dolf van Munster

Dear Madam/Sir, I would like to inform you that the HP Deskjet 3650 is supported by the Synology Disk Station DS106e. I have printed from both Windows XP SP2 and Windows 2000 SP4 through the DS106e. Perhaps you could add this information to the "supported printer" information on your website for other users. Please note that the printer is recognized as a "Hewlett Packard Deskjet 36xx". Moreover I would like to thank you for the magnificent product. I purchased it only two days ago and I already can't picture my small home network without it. Good work!! Kind regards, Edwin

Dear Synology, I'd like to thank you for releasing the new firmware 2.0.1 - 3.0371 for my DS-101. I was happy with it all the time. But now, with all the new features (UPnP, Web Server with PHP and MySQL...), I am thrilled and fascinated!! I have already installed and tested major applications (typo3 p.e.) and a media server for pre-upnp devices and it worked! Releasing features of your newest models for older models is a great attitude and of great value for customers. I will certainly stick to Synology for quality NAS devices. Kind regards, Michael Bürgi

I got my own DS-106e up and running. Already when I took it out of the box, it was a great thing to watch. The design is very nice, and small, which is perfect. I installed my hard drive and I got it to work in just 10 minutes. It's easy and fast. After another 10 minutes I got the whole thing up and running with all its futures. I have been using it for a week now and I haven't had any problem, it just a great device to work with. Thought there is some noise when the hard drive is in use. But luckily enough it has a great hibernation option which will change the device in a small quiet server. The support from Synology is as good as the product itself! The product is definitely worth its price! I would like to thank you for this great product and your support. Keep up the good work! Kind regards, Peter van Schayck

"After years of deleting files and buying more hard disks to store all my data I thought about buying a NAS. I think the need of a storage solution in private households has increased enormously after having internet flat rates, digital cams and so on. Buying new hard disks doesn’t solve the problem and burning data on CD or DVD is a rather bad idea because you have to test the burned disc if the data was burned correctly, you have to put them somewhere they don’t get scratched and after some years CD aren’t readable anymore. Most NAS (Network attached Storage) support RAID and are a good investment for archiving your data or creating a multimedia streaming server. After evaluating the market of NAS I found two interesting NAS products with RAID 5. One was the Tera Station from Buffalo and the other one was the Cube Station of Synology. The Tera Station needs a lot of power and is noisy and has a really old version of Samba. The Cube Station doesn’t look as cool as the Tera Station but you have great functionality like printing server, web server, database, photo album, streaming capability and lots more. Well, the total cost of the Cube Station without any hard disk equals to the total costs of the Tera Station with 1 TB already included. I decided to buy 4 really silent hard disks of Samsung in combination with the Cube Station CS-406. The Cube Station-Series looks like an air conditioner, but its functionality is great. I feel really relaxed thinking on working for my diploma thesis. Saving the work on the NAS is quite safe. With this RAID server I don’t have to worry about a hard disk crash." Kind regards, Amancio Bouza

"Having used the DS-106e for just under 12 hours I have to say it is a fantastic product and so easily used. I am more used to setting up a file server using Debian and this comes as a refreshing change. My customers will love you because the cost of setting up a DS-106e as opposed to a Debian file server will be massively different." "I have already spoken to two clients who will be investing in your DS-106e. I will additionally be investing in one as a backup to the existing one and also one to take to clients to demonstrate." Many thanks. Rich

I recently purchased a CS-406e and after putting in the hard drives which only took a few minutes, I plugged the unit into my switch and put the disk in the server, moments later the software had done its thing, mapped the drive automatically and I went to my back up software in this case it is Veritas BackUp Exec, all I had to do was choose a different location to back up to, from the tandberg tape drive to a back up folder that was on the new array of disks on your cube.. and blamo! I was backing up... This was awesome I can now hold 14 days of complete backups on a RAID level 5 structure. Then I put one more across the plant in another building for redundancy… this is a network with out internet access but with the security of off site backup... Very cool... We are a ready mix concrete plant and tapes just don’t cut it in this industry, no matter how clean you try to be dust gets in.. Its the nature of the business and when I got a hold of your product I was stoked... These boxes rock! And we know rocks... Tnx, Jody Harrison

Recently our firm had a major server breakdown, which we were very fortunate enough to recover from. Our local computer store (Sneakers Computers Ltd.) owner recommended the Synology DS-101 as a temporary server while he rebuilt our new server. Upon having our new server operational he recommended we continue to use the DS-101 as a backup solution. It has preformed so well that I am now in the process of setting up a mirrored backup at home on my second DS-101. I have recommended it to friends and colleagues throughout my industry. I just retuned from Sneakers Computers with another DS-101 for a friend in Calgary, as he is unable to find your product available there. In speaking with Ron Burton of Sneakers Computers today I have found out that he only has 1 unit remaining and is unable to acquire any more DS-101. As your product is so reliable and easy to use I am sure it will become even more popular with computer users as servers and/or backup solutions. I only hope that Sneakers Computers will be able to become a local distributor for Vancouver Island or Western Canada as he has been a great supporter of the DS-101. Best regards, Bal Klear

Great work on the latest firmware guys. Someone has been trying to hack my FTP with over 200 attempts to log on, and I wished it would lock him out and guess what, now you have anti FTP hacking added. That plus the bandwidth control on download station are great additions. thanks. Tony
