Review on Synology Bay DiskStation DS220 Diskless by Stanislaw Mielicki ᠌

DS220+ was bought to replace the old DS209, which served faithfully for 11 (!) years and did not break! It simply stopped ating and one of the Barracudas began to "crumble". Tasks for a NAS are quite typical for a home: - file washer - pictures - movies - file hosting - working documentation - folders for wife and son. Modern realities with remote work demanded their own cloud, mail and virtual machines - Synologik knows how to do this, I will try. First inclusion. He did everything himself. While the disks were being formatted (2 pcs. WD NAS Ware 2T each), I set it up in half an hour. He immediately saw the memory line in 4G and accepted it as his own (although Crucial memory). First impressions. Quiet, smart. The desktop is nice. Although I don’t care about it, it’s still nice! Cold. The temperature of the disks is 32 degrees, despite the fact that it is in a closed shelf paired with a UPS. Settings, by the way, occur without any curses, shamanic dances and tambourines. If you are familiar with the computer, you won't even need a dried rabbit's foot. Well, do not forget about the built-in help, Google and the Synology forum. DAmazon started working right away, the provider allows without a "white" IP. Second level domain name? - on the same drum as the desktop. Performance. I don't feel lack of it yet. "Load virtual machines - you'll see!" Well, we'll see. In other reviews I saw complaints about performance, but I was ready for this. You can not demand mega-speed from a far from powerful processor. If you want "everything to fly", then you should look towards Juniper with Proliants, where there are serious processors, and two motherboards, and even two power supplies! The howls of the fans will delight the ear, and you can safely refuse the central heating ;-) Additional software. Package Center is here to help you! For the home there is everything in abundance, for a small office there is everything. Oh yes - IP telephony is not enough, but it can be borrowed from QNAP. Conclusion: IMHO, for the house, that's it, definitely.
