I found the Synology data storage system easy to install following their instructions, but I found it best to follow a detailed video made for beginners that I found on YouTube to set up for use. The Pal2tech information was most useful to buy and setup the system

I've been using this NAS for over a year before writing this review. I'd say that I really like its compact size and Synology's DSM is by far the best for family/studio use.

Pros: Very compact and unobtrusive, does exactly what it promises to do.Cons: This NAS takes 2.5 inch disks so you're very limited hard drive capacity and they cost more. that's the trade off for small footprint.
Do not trust your data to synology. My unit died in less than 6 months. Was used solely as a backup. Terrible quality. Will not buy Synology again.
I needed to replace my aging HP ProLiant N54L MicroServer, running since 2011. Having replaced the power supply once, I couldn't do much about the end-of-support for WHS 2011 over a year ago. The kicker has been that the Windows client backup agent is not working on a couple OEM images of Windows 10 that I have around here.So I learned about the Synology NAS products and this one, the DS620slim, seemed a perfect fit. The box itself would seem a little pricey, until you factor in the included DSM operating system and the available packages (applications). The Synology software is all business, and that business is securing your data and making it available where you need it.I've worked in IT-fields for decades so setting up the DS620slim was an enjoyable learning ...

The Synology software is all business, and that business is securing your data and making it available where you need it.I've worked in IT-fields for decades so setting up the DS620slim was an enjoyable learning experience. The Synology online manual pages are surprisingly helpful and a Google query almost always took me to the right page. All setup and administration is performed through the device's web interface which emulates a complete DSM desktop within the browser window. To someone handy with a PC, the learning curve is probably reasonable given the quality of Synology's web-based support.My choice of the 2.5-inch drive bay size was deliberate. Even with six bays, this is a much smaller box than any of the 3.5-inch models. Today there are ample choices in both 2.5-inch HDD and SDD. I got a couple Western Digital Red SDD's for my main data repository (shared folders visible on the local network) and a couple 4TB HDD's setup as RAID 1 for data backups.If you a large amount of valuable data and require access to it from more than one PC/device, the Synology is an excellent, complete solution.
Updated review. This thing is total garbage. My 8 year old synology nas can serve up movies that this thing cannot. This nas is absolutely not able to serve as a media server disk. Total garbage. --------- I'm a bit of a Synology fanboy but am disappointed with this unit. Overall it feels chintzy. Specifically the power plug into the unit is horrible. It is not inset into the unit like previous models and feels very susceptible to breakage.
Pros: Small, quiet, good management softwareCons: Poors filesystem compatibility with macOS, as BTRFS doesn’t support certain characters in filenames, causing issues when copying data around. Also needs two SSD drives if you want to use write caching, although the same probably applies to other Synology NAS products.
This Synology unit is expandable and the software package is full of programs. I am still finding new ways to use my NAS everyday. Lots of fun like the Plex software. The unit does a great deal more than just a back up system.
I wanted to have a NAS drive that I could use at home and then take for a month+ trip (when I will be able to take it after various quarantines and travel restrictions are relaxed :-)). I bought the enclosure and stuffed it with 6 4TB 2.5 5400RPM Seagate disks (4TB are 15mm high and DS620slim will accommodate them). It was easy to setup - I used 1 disk redundant SHR option. The performance appears to be reasonable of about 108MB/s for both read and write on my gigabit local network according to Blackmagic Design disk speed test which according to them good enough to support work with 2160p25 (but not 2160p30). I haven't tried to do it myself though.My title said almost, movable NAS because it's on the not-that-light side, but definitely I will try to have it as a ...
