The RT1900ac Wireless AC router is expected to go retail in Q1 2016, selling for around $150. Congrats to the company for receiving the CES 2016 award!
“After using NASes from several different brands, our favorite NAS management system has become Synology's DSM. The system is reliable and robust. For all intents and purposes, the RC18015xs+ is a near perfect system.”
This is the ultimate nerd gift: practically unlimited storage. The Synology DS416 NAS can house up to 32TB of hard drives over four 3.5-inch slots. The 416 is anything you want it to be: a personal cloud where you can securely share files, a video streaming host, a place to host your personal website, a mail server. Or, just back up all your files and make them accessible anywhere.
“Traditionally, NAS have been great for desktop use, a pain to scale and, if something goes wrong, they’ve been a pain to recover,” [Brian Chee] said. “That has changed. The software that has been developed, particularly by Synology, has changed the minds of a lot of researchers. It’s no longer as hard to implement, it’s no longer hard to set up remote access, and it’s no longer hard to expand.”
The ideal scenario for the DS2415+ is that of volume, lots of it. While the DS2415+ supports features that consumers may find useful or entertaining, it performs best as a gargantuan storage repository. At this point in time, it supports 8TB drives, giving a total raw capacity of 192GB if you add in the DX1215. If you're running a substantial image/video heavy operation, you'll find the combo highly attractive.
“I have personally used a number of Synology NAS devices in the past both on personal and professional levels and I have always loved the architecture, the simple to use software, the reliability and the performance of Synology storage solutions.”
… we love the flexibility it provides and it really extends the utility of the NAS so far beyond what most people would think is possible. We have to give Synology kudos for really throwing the kitchen sink at the user. There is something here for everyone, no doubt.
The DS1515 is a great option for businesses looking to inexpensively acquire an all-in-one server with scalability, good performance, and the breadth of Synology's DSM offerings.
"Synology's broad line of standalone, diskless NAS devices is loved by its users. This year marks the fourth straight year the company won the PCMag Readers' Choice. If you need fast, reliable access to shared files of all types, both locally and remotely, users indicate you can't do better than Synology."
Synology Cloud Station is an application that allows users to sync files across multiple platforms wherever there is an Internet connection. And best of all it is free with the purchase of any Synology NAS device.

BeyondCloud bundles emphasize convenience and affordability. Having the hard disks pre-installed not only simplified the setup process, it also made the models more affordable than purchasing a diskless NAS Server and compatible hard disk(s) separately.
Synology is one of the most popular COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) NAS vendors in the SMB / SOHO market segment. The NAS models introduced by them in 2014 were mostly based on Intel Rangeley (the Atom-based SoCs targeting the storage and communication market). However, in December, they sprang a surprise by launching the DS2015xs, an ARM-based model with dual 10GbE ports. We covered the launch of the Synology DS2015xs in December, and provided some details about the Annapurna Labs AL514 SoC in it.
"Synology even makes it easier to connect to your NAS from places outside the home. All of this is done with the power of software, and that’s a premise that Synology has embraced for a long time now.”
"The Synology RackStation RS3614RPxs is an impressive 2U rack-mount NAS built for SMB businesses looking for both reliability and performance, with budget in mind. Offered with a redundant PSU option, Synology's new RackStation also provides businesses with an NAS solution that is easy to set up and manage as well as support for SSDs and optional 10GbE. It's quite obvious that the Synology RS3614xs outperformed our expectations, and as a result, provides businesses with a ton of flexibility in its small 2U rack form factor."
