*by M***D on Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2017*

Well, I have to say I'm blown away.  I retired from IT several years ago, and haven't really kept track of stuff like I used to. I have to say this is a killer machine for the price!! I still dabble with small projects, and IP security cameras have been both a hobby and a little income for a couple years.  I've been a fan of Blue Iris and cheap Chinese cameras like Microsevens and Foscams.  On my latest project, a 6 camera system covering a commercial/residential complex, I needed something that wasn't a PC running Blue Iris. The load Blue Iris puts on a computer is pretty astounding all things being equal. Some research led me to this item, and I have to say I love it. Configuration is pretty easy to deal with.  Installation was a snap.  The applications available are worth far more than you pay for the device and drives. Everyone has a different phone or tablet, and the DS Cam app works flawlessly both on iOS and Android.  My only heartburn is the cost of camera licenses, but given the time I've saved in getting things up and running, I'm way ahead of the game.  I'm not only using it for the camera surveillance software, but also as a personal cloud and notes server, with tons more apps to explore.  iCloud can kiss my behind!!

*by T***C on Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2016*

I'm a fan of Synology products and use this as a media server, surveillance station and file share server PC and MAC backups.  I purchased this to replace an aging DS212 that whose performance was seriously suffering with the latest DSM software/firmware versions.  The migration to the new one went without a hitch and the performance is good enough for us at 100 megs per second on writes and 65 or so on reads.  That said, the performance should be better and doesn't match their benchmarks; and the reads should generally be faster than the writes, which is odd.  I think Synology still has some software work to do and needs to fix the performance issues they introduced with the 5.x series of the DSM firmware, you can google and read all about it in their forums. They significantly changed something which caused many, many people on older generations of disk stations to drop from 60 - 70 meg/sec file transfers to 20 - 30, suspect this is what continues to drag down the speed on the new generation.

    Upgraded From An Old Synology NAS to This DS216
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2016*

I purchased this item to replace an aging Synology DS210j. There was a delay in shipping but the unit arrived several days later in good shape. Setup was a little bit harder than the 210j since there was really no paperwork other than how to install the hard drives and to turn on the unit.I installed two WD Red drives. The tool less design made this an easy process that took only a couple of minutes to complete. I connected the unit to my LAN and set up the shares in the same manner as before. I then copied all of my files from the old DS210j to the DS216. The entire process of setting up the unit, copying data, mapping network drives on all of my computers, and setting up backup tasks took several hours.The DS216 has been running for about a week now and all is well. It is considerably faster than the 210j, but you would expect that.I purchased the unit from Amazon, however when my credit card was charged it said Amazon Marketplace. The invoice says Amazon. There was no packing slip, so I really don't know where the unit came from. It really doesn't matter since Amazon will stand behind it if need be.
