I'm shocked this got by QC, assuming there is any. If something like this can slide by QC, I can't imagine what else they let slide. See picture, I can't even plug anything in because the ports on the board aren't anywhere close to lining up with the cutouts in the chassis. I'll update my review if the RMA process goes smoothly. Considering they use FedEx, we're already off to a rocky start.

Synology decided to lock down this unit and the eSATA port is only for Synology to use. It is not usable by the user. That leaves only one USB port. Even my DS214Play had 4 usable ports on it! Further more the USB port is slower than eSATA. So this unit is a downgrade in that regard. Now add the fact that the dual NVMe slots cannot be used as storage space unless you way over spend on Synology owned drives.

I got it working with very little effort. Only downside is that memory usage tends to go up. Probably better to upgrade to more than 2 GBytes.

We were previously using the Western Digital My Cloud system but found it to be a bit limiting in areas. I looked into Synology and was impressed from what I saw on-line. Reached out to their sales and had quick personalized responses quickly! Ordered & set-up, works great. The DSM software can't be beat, not even close. This system is powerful yet so easy to use. Highly recommend this over the Western Digital options.
There's a ton of press on this thing and I will tell you in general, I am pretty happy with it. Here is my list of likes and dislikes, but please consider this is based on my use case and may not apply to everyone. You will have your own requirements and use cases. Likes: 1. Can use an option 10GBE network card (which I have) 2. Can run up to 32GB of ECC memory, critical for no data loss 3. Very fast with the Ryzen processor 4. Boots way faster than my DS720+ 5. Same physical layout that I am used to on the DS720+ with the addition of the 10GBE network card. 6. DSM rocks more than any other NAS OS that I have tried, including many other well known brands. 7. BTRFS rocks for snapshots, etc. 8. I bought mine with the Synology HAT5300 16TB drives and it automatically ... MoreThere's a ton of press on this thing and I will tell you in general, I am pretty happy with it.

BTRFS rocks for snapshots, etc. 8. I bought mine with the Synology HAT5300 16TB drives and it automatically updated the firmware from 1401 to 1403 when I built the storage pool. 9. Dead quiet like the ds720+ Like not so much: 1. Synology really cut down on the number of compatible drives for this compared to the DS720+, especially in the larger drive configurations. 2. You are basically taking a chance with drive compatibility if you don't buy Synology drives and have to ensure the correct model number, part number, and firmware if you care about Synology support in case of data loss. Synology drives are ridiculously expensive. 3. No dedicated GPU. If you are running 4K Plex, this is not the unit for you 4. 2 cores and 4 threads, really in 2023? 5. All things considered, they really did not think about the home user when they designed all of this and I still think there is a market for us IT geeks who want enterprise performance with some home features like PLEX Please keep in mind your use case for this. If you are moving data, using this for a file server and photo server, it rocks. If you are a PLEX user, it cannot run 4K PLEX without stuttering badly. My use case was really more for the unit as a file server / photo server and PLEX would have really made this unit for me. However, I did get around that by keeping my DS720+ as my PLEX server.
This is a massive downgrade in terms of usb ports, cpu AND ram. Synology is going down this road of including the absolute bare minimum ram (2gb) and having the users upgrade to their expensive synology branded ECC ram. Furthermore, if you'd like to use the 2x nvme ssd slots, in order to utilize all the features, you guessed it, you have to buy synology branded nvme ssd's which are 2-5x competitor's prices. If you use another brand of ssd or ram (wd, seagate, corsair etc which are substantially cheaper) then the warranty (if data corruption were to occur) is void. Furthermore, this dual core AMD processor on a $450 unit is a joke. All of us should send a clear message to synology by skipping this generation of DS7XX+ series.
Overall a solid NAS for small business, home office, or personal use. There are a lot more things I love about it than I dislike. I've highlighted a few of my favorite features and most of my complaints. - I like the dual LAN ports. - Cache SSDs are a great feature. I wouldn't suggest buying the Synology ones. The Synology 400GB SNV3410 costs $149, while the very capable Western Digital 500GB WD Red SN700 costs $64. There's literally no reason to get the Synology branded drive. Keep in mind that if you want to cache both reads and writes, you'll need two SSDs. Bigger doesn't necessarily mean better, and I feel like 500GB is the sweet spot. You can't actually store data on these drives, they're just cache, so unless you're regularly working with really big files, a ... MoreOverall a solid NAS for small business, home office, or personal use.

I wouldn't suggest buying the Synology ones. The Synology 400GB SNV3410 costs $149, while the very capable Western Digital 500GB WD Red SN700 costs $64. There's literally no reason to get the Synology branded drive. Keep in mind that if you want to cache both reads and writes, you'll need two SSDs. Bigger doesn't necessarily mean better, and I feel like 500GB is the sweet spot. You can't actually store data on these drives, they're just cache, so unless you're regularly working with really big files, a larger SSD isn't helpful. Additionally, the size of the cache is limited by your NAS's RAM so if you're running a 2TB cache SDD you're needlessly eating up your already very limited RAM. - DSM is super powerful and the ability to run Docker means you can literally do anything. It's like having your own personal local server. - The initial setup was fast and user-friendly. - Synology Photos is like your own personal Google Photos with facial recognition grouping (but sadly no object tagging). So far, I've noticed five things I do not like: #1 The Synology Drive Client desktop app doesn't allow you to exclude folders and their children. So now I'm forced to back up thousands of node modules. That is just a waste of time. #2 Synology Photos doesn't have an API. I'd love to be able to go through all my photos, upload them to GCP or Azure for imaging tagging, and then programmatically tag all of my photos. The built-in face AI stuff works well, but tagging would make it a true Google Photos alternative. #3 DDNS setup is super complicated. To use features like 2FA (a must), you have to enable DDNS. Following along with the instructions made me expose my router's admin interface publically!! There's got to be a better way to help users get setup without hours of troubleshooting. #4 Built-in RAM. 2GB of RAM in 2023 is pretty bad. I get the goal is to upsell users into buying overpriced Synology branded RAM, but come on Synology, 2GB? I'm well over $1k on this device all in. I shouldn't have to spend hundreds more on official RAM kits. #5 This could be a pro or con, depending on how you look at it. The drive installation is completely toolless. Various plastic tabs hold the drives in place. For the main HDD, I didn't mind it too much though I think the trays could break if regularly disassembled. The problem I had was the SDD installation. To install the SSDs, you have to push back a small plastic tab that wedges the SDD in place. The only way I could do this was with a pointed screwdriver, and the entire experience felt very fragile and cheap. Synology, I really don't mind using a screwdriver. Very over-engineered resulting in additional problems. I'd imagine most NAS owners are techy. Fixing #1 and adding APIs to everything should be a prerequisite. #3 is a must for the sake of security. Something that I didn't realize when purchasing is that this NAS doesn't give you any of the AI Surveillance Station features. It allows you to use Surveillance Station for recording but none of the cool AI tools.
I had been looking for a solution to my photographies storage for quite some time and needed access from anywhere at all times, this unit is perfect and it was so easy to set up. Great experience.
