The DS3617xs has a superior expansion potential and as it has no restrictions on available DSM apps, it’s much more versatile
"The DS216 is an excellent NAS. If you’ll mainly use the drive to store and share files at high speed across your network, this is the model to buy."
"SMBs hankering after a big NAS appliance with a small price will like the RS3617xs. It’s fast over 10GbE and Synology’s data protection features make it a great backup server."
"...offers a lot of what's good about a Synology server, including simple setup, a class-leading operating system, an array of multimedia options and energy efficient hardware."
What’s the funniest or most memorable memory of working in your team? Lewis and his ‘driving’ – he managed to tilt a fully stacked pallet over mid-air. The rest of the team managed to save everything though. Needless to say, the DVLA don’t trust Lewis with a real driving licence.
“The DS916+ is a NAS true to the name and built with one purpose in mind: Connecting storage to the network. A great encryption performance and expandability makes it a perfect SMB NAS.”
"Overall the DS916+ is a great value, speedy and expandable addition to Synology’s 2016 NAS lineup."
“A powerful yet economical server that convinces through great hardware, plenty of features, and a wallet-friendly price tag.”
Synology puts some serious NAS power on your desktop
"The DS216j performs the basic NAS functions and can tap into most of Synology's DSM6.0 features.The fact the DS216j comes in at just £130, though, means that if transcoding isn't on your priority list, it's fantastic value...."
".......We highly recommend the DS216se for any small business or home network due to the simple set up, additional support, easy to use interface and vast array of features available."
"......With an overall score of 9.0—the kind of number seldom seen in our survey results—Synology is utterly in a class by itself when it comes to work servers."
"It is small enough, stable enough and quiet enough to be stowed out of sight and left to do its thing with the web-interface being the sole means of administration."
"DS216 is a solid two-bay NAS which is equally backed by an outstanding NAS OS courtesy of the new DSM 6"

"With such a strong set of performance figures coupled to an amazing price, the RT1900ac would stand up on its own even without Synology’s fantastic user interface. SRM makes all the difference: it’s responsive, user-friendly without excluding advanced features, and unbelievably flexible. It’s better than any other router UI we’ve used before and sets the gold standard for the competition in future."
"....once again, Synology has made a great product with the DS716+ being perfect for the small business or power home user. Two drive bays may seem a little limiting, but there is always scope for expansion in the form of the 5-bay DX513."
"The RT1900ac is a good bet for anybody in the market for a quality router......"
“Synology’s first entry into the world of routers with the RT1900ac is without a doubt a huge success. Great hardware coupled with great software make it a sure winner that’s affordable at the same time.”
“The Synology DS416 is a NAS that offers all the features you want on a solid hardware platform with built-in acceleration features. You can’t do much wrong by getting one of these.”
