5.0 out of 5 stars Everything I'd hoped for, May 24, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I bought this hoping to turn off an old desktop that I was using as a NAS. The desktop was using a whopping 300W continuous and the RAID was software (windows) which scared the daylights out of me.

So, I bought this with two 750GB drives, running RAID-1, with plans to upgrade to RAID-5 in the future when I need the extra space.

The setup was easy, the machine is whisper quiet (though I don't know about putting it in a livingroom, mines in the laundry room) and uses about no power. I run it with power stand-by and scheduled power-down and both work perfectly. I put a power meter on the device and it uses, as advertised, in the 20W range.

I run SVN on it, following the instructions on Synology's wiki. Simple. No problems.

The only problem I've had was that one of the disks "hiccuped" one long enough for the RAID controller to call it dead. I simply told it to rebuild and haven't had a problem since. And I've been using this for about 2 months now. The hiccup is something to do with a timeout that's configurable on the drives but unless it gets worse I'm not going to even look into it. And yes, I'm a senior software engineer so have no fear of such a thing but also don't mind not doing the work and just keeping calm when the device tells me "a disk has crashed". No, it hasn't.

It did send me e-mail when that happened, which is nice because even though it beeps, it's in the basement.

So, I love it. Everyone with any amount of information they want to keep should have one of these. The money? Buy the best, cry once, get on with your life. I haven't had to think about this machine since day one (with the one exception) and am really loving that security.

Pros: all forms of RAID (and you can switch between them), upgradeable (more and/or larger disks), good support (wiki, forums, traditional tech support), quiet, very-low power consumption, Linux underneath so you can act as a light-weight application server (iTunes, SVN, etc), pretty, well-built, gives peace-of-mind.

Cons: price compared to other NAS systems. But read their reviews. Don't about half the reviews talk about problems. You buy this device so you can feel secure about your data.

I'm a huge fan and believe it or not, I hate computers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great NAS!, February 13, 2010
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Received it a few days ago, perfectly packaged.

I installed 3 1.5 TB Samsung drives and went on to set it up. I'm using Linux Ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop.
This is one of the rare company who provide a Linux package for Setup Installation.

The installation was a breeze, specifying the firmware to install and on we go. I then configured the 3 drives in RAID-5 through the Web UI. The detailed formatting took about 10 hours (I could have chosen quick, but I wanted to make sure everything was properly checked).

After that, creation of shared folders accessible through my windows and Linux machines, setting up the Media Server to be accessed by my PS3s went without problems.

I transfered all the non-backed up files I had from an external USB HDD to this NAS via the USB ports. The good thing is it doesn't require copy through your PC, so you can let it run and unplug your laptop.

So far, I'm very happy with the product as a Home NAS. If my need were for a small company, I would go to higher models, but this is perfect for what I need.

4.0 out of 5 stars 410j is a solid device, September 27, 2010
By 
Jason Silvas (SUMMERVILLE, SC, US) - See all my reviews
I purchased this device from Amazon after reading several reviews from Amazon, CNET, and Newegg. I purchased this device because I wanted one device that could do multiple things without spending a lot of money. I am happy to say after having this device for several months that I have had no major issues with it. The way I use the device

1)I used the provided backup utility to backup my information on the computer. You can specify what folders you would like to back up. I have Windows 7 ultimate on my desktop and Win 7 home professional on my laptop. Ultimate allows me to backup to a remote server, my 410j and even created a system image disk, professional on the other had does not. You have to have the business edition or greater to have that feature which I hate. Most computers you will buy come with home professional so you will have to buy and upgrade from Microsoft or use this bad boy. I have restored files once when windows update crashed my system and I was able to get all my files back with the synology provided solution.

2)Media Center. This item was DLNA compliant. Which means that you are able to store videos, pictures and music on the device. I have it shared out to my PS3 and watch movies, even 720p HD, over my wireless G network. I have a Netgear WNDR3700 that I use, because it has Gigabit connections and it is connected to my desktop and 410j. I only get skipping when I try to watch 1080p movies, I assume cause of the bandwidth I get from my G network, but I am able to stream videos and music. I was also able to use this as my iTunes library once I set it up. I have close to 300GB of music from my personal collection that I converted to mp3. After some searching on the Apple site I was able to use this as my default library among my desktop and laptop.

TWO con's is that you cannot remove the drives without taking the cover off. It makes hot swapping drives difficult. If you do not have networking experience it can be difficult to setup. There are no specific instructions so rely on the synology wiki or forums. Trust me you will not be the first to ask the same questions so the answers are mostly there already.

I have it setup with 4 western digital 750GB drives in a Raid 5 spare configuration.

It is a great product and would by another one again.
