DiskStation DS223 Network Attached Storage Drive (Black)

Hardware installation is very simple. Installation also very easy.

bought this to store memories of my family. Admittedly, I don't know all the features and functions, it was still easy to get it set up and running what I need it for which is to store TBs of photos and videos that I take on my phone

Decent Good product for who need own cloud storage for photos and videos for privacy and only for personal usage, It's only 1gigabit lan speed so better for personal use. Synology photos app are very usefull for uploading photo and video automatically. Synology gives many apps like drive, notes online streaming,

i bought it, because i had laptop hdd 2.5 inch and wanted to use it as a NAS drive. i searched for options. 1-use synology solution(around 17K at the time of purchase) 2-do it diy with some old cheap machine(depends on the budget) 1-synology-setup was easily but performance of the disk was not ok. synology os also complained that disk is not tested for performance.i setup the synology as per synology documentation but struggled to get the needed performance as i wanted to run VM's in smb share.media server was very good and usb sharing was OK.also i was limited to 1Gbps lan. 2-DIY-1 used raspberry pi5 8gb(around 11K that time) model with ubuntu and tplink powered usb hub(around 1.5K) and usb 2.5G realtek adapter(around 2.5K) and same internal 2.5 inch hdd.setup smb via ubuntu and this time peek speed was around 1.5Gbps. so i would recommend synology if we can invest in a good 3.5 inch hdd recommemded by synology. for used disk such as laptop hdd .i would recommend DIY setup. Above was my personal practical experience. but software wise synology is good.we can use this to join to domain, do sync,user home directories,tftp server etc. i later on realized that i just needed SMB most of the time which ubuntu was sufficient. also DIY is good when we have knowledge where to find what and better hardware of course.

The setup requires bit of networking knowledge. It is not direct plug the ethernet cable and automatically recognized / configured. You need to put a L3 switch between computer and this NAS, then find the IP address and then configure it. I

its easy to use but extremely slow for raid built and copy fom system.

Good product for parsonal use and so comfortable with family and children. High speed functionality with so simple instalation. Value. For monay product

Magnífica. Merece cada euro

Swapped drives to new NAS as the old one was from 2014 and was 10 years old and power supply stopped working, I figured it was time to get a new one incase something else dies. Flipped drives to new DS423 and it started up after a while as it set it's self up and saved all the files and worked with all my computers. Could not be easier.

Arrived early. Easy to set up, slotted 2x6TB... Hassle free setup.... Highly recommended for reliable NAS....

I bought this to store memories of my family. Admittedly, I don't know all the features and functions, it was still easy to get it set up and running what I need it for which is to store TBs of photos and videos that I take on my phone. This allows me to offload the content on my phone so I can take more. I feel like it is very capable, and after reading up on this model I was a little disappointed that it can only do face recognition because you have to buy a much more expensive model to get object recognition, however during a software update, they have now enabled object recognition as well! That makes this a great value al even though its not Google Photos level of recognition, it still works. I feel good knowing my family content is safely stored and I don't have recurring costs that a cloud solution would have. Syncing using the phone app works well, and so I don't have to plug in my phone to offload images.

Genau das was gewünscht und erwartet.
