Low price, DSM 5.1 software, Synology Package Centre hosts more software, Quiet operation
Downloading multiple files slow performance, Only one USB 3.0 port
Synology's latest two-bay NAS is the DS215j. This model looks very similar to the DS214 and shares almost all of the features, except for the loss of one USB 3.0 port (you get one USB 3.0 and one USB 2.0) and a reduction in processor speed. The DS214 uses...

Elegant, minimalist styling, Great build quality, Dualcore support, SATA III compatibility, 2.5” and 3.5” drive support, USB 3.0 support, Excellent performance, Low fan noise, Feature rich operating system
There are none!
It's pretty obvious why Synology appear to control the NAS storage arena. Their persistent software updates to the DSM Operating System demonstrates how serious they are about the NAS experience for the consumer. We've seen DSM change over the years and t...
The fastest budget two-bay NAS so far, Simple setup, Class-leading UI
Slightly noiser than other Synology NAS, No tool-less drive installation
On paper the Synology DS215j doesn't get the heart racing, but its combination of fast, balanced performance and class-leading software sees it stand out as the best budget two-bay NAS to date. Next, read more Peripherals Reviews...

Excellent user interface, Good selection of app addons
No toolless installation
The DS215j is a solid and affordable little NAS, and while it sometimes takes a few seconds extra to launch apps, its data transfer speeds and suite of applications and features more than make up for this. Synology DS215j Review 8...
