Even in our backup test, the Synology hit an average of 87MB/sec. With a 1.6GHz dual-core Atom processor and 1GB of RAM, and twin Seagate 1TB drives installed, we saw average read rates of 103MB/sec and average write speeds of 91MB/sec – a good deal faster than our previous A-List incmubent, the DS213air, which hit top speeds of 68MB/sec and 71MB/sec when reading and writing large files. Finally, Synology’s QuickConnect service provides a simple address to enter in the apps or browser, so you don’t have to set up port forwarding. Synology Cloud Station works just like Dropbox: drop a file into the Cloud Station folder on your PC and it’s replicated within seconds on the NAS, with any changes synchronising within two seconds across a local network.ĭifferent apps for Android, iOS and Windows Phone take you directly to the music, photo, video and file servers on the DS214play, with files playing back flawlessly (providing your connection is up to it). It’s the cloud features that swing it for us, though. In addition, Synology provides enough add-on modules for the DS214play to moonlight as a mail server, IP security camera station, VPN or web server.
#SYNOLOGY CLOUD STATION CLIENT PORT FORWARDING 1080P#
Thanks to a hardware transcoding engine, it can convert 1080p video from one format to another on the fly (although we found some files that wouldn’t play on an iPad from the NAS).
It’s a great media device, however, acting as a DLNA media server without any problems. The UI is excellent for advanced users, with features such as multiple windows and multitasking that you won’t find on most NAS devices, but there’s little hand-holding for novices, and navigating the control panels and settings takes a little getting used to. The browser-based setup routine works flawlessly, downloading new firmware for you, and there’s zero pain in configuring the RAID and initialising your storage space. Comprehensive sharing capabilities together with add-on package Cloud Station Server allow you to create your personal cloud storage with ease.
The drive cover pulls off, the caddies unlock and slide out, and a clip-on assembly means you can mount a drive without touching a screwdriver. Synologys expertise in creating consumer and enterprise-grade network attached storages (NAS) has profoundly influenced Synology Router Manager (SRM). The reasons to be cheerful start as soon as you begin installing the drives.
