Synology DiskStation 2-Bay 6TB (2 x 3TB) Network Attached Storage (NAS) with iSCSI (DS713+ 2300) Review

I have tried several 'cheap' NAS which I won't mention but the performance was seriously lacking, less than my compaq file server from 1999. This is the first one I have tried which actually performs well. I'm using in in raid 1 (or rather Synology's Hybrid Raid [SHR]) . It can actually fill up the 1 gigabit ethernet port, which any new device should be able to do in 2012+ but most seem to fail at it.

The performance is wonderful, but the price is high. I took a chance on it (the price) and it turned out well.

The user interface is web based, and looks like a mini desktop xwindows style. The setup was painless.

HDD hibernation actually works properly! It doesn't disconnect your network drives, there is simply a 5-10 second pause when you try and access it when the HDDs come out of hibernation which is perfectly acceptable (of course you can turn this feature off if you do not care about power savings).

Short list: It stays very cool, It has advanced features, User interface is very easy to use, Low power usage, High performance, Can bond ethernet ports together for more performance

I would suggest using NAS ready HDD's or enterprise HDD's for any NAS device or you will have issues if there are any errors, the main difference is in the error recovery where the drives report back to the controller that there is an error instead of hanging for minutes or hours on an error.

Of course you could build a PC for less than $200 that would perform the same, or even better in terms of throughput and use that as your NAS but I really like this self contained solution. To replicate this on a PC you would have to install numerous amounts of open source software and try and get it to work together, which for simplicity's sake is too much time spent for me.

Overall I believe this is an excellent product and lives up to the 'you get what you pay for' model, which is all that anyone can ask.
