This strip houses the Power and USB Copy switches along with LEDs for Status, Lan, Disk 1 and Disk 2. The casing is primarily composed of white plastic with a strip of grey on the front panel. The DS211j comes with a CPU clocked at 1.2GHz and 128 MB DDR2 memory My current NAS the Synology DS209 +II is a black model that I personally prefer aesthetically.Īt first glance the Synology DiskStation DS211j could be mistaken for a larger external 3.5 drive its form factor is that small it measures 161mm X 88mm X 218mm. According to Kris’ review the new DS211 also comes in white. The Synology DiskStation DS211j comes in white similar to their prior consumer 200 series models. The max storage capacity for this model is 4 TB (2 x 2TB).

However since we had a couple of 2 TB drives laying around we decided to upgrade the storage capacity. Synology sent us the version with two 1 terabyte hard drives preinstalled. The DiskStation can be purchased with hard drives preinstalled or just the device by itself. Next to the NAS are a cardboard box containing the power cord, AC adapter, Cat 5e network cable, installation CD, instruction booklet and assembling kit. Inside the box we find the Synology DiskStation DS211j carefully sandwiched between two foam protective inserts. Graphic logos surround the box showing the features of the DS211j. This model eschews the plain cardboard look with something akin to a gaming console that also uses the Station moniker. The packaging on the Synology DiskStation DS211j is slightly different that previous versions. According to Synology “It is built on standard Linux kernel using quite a bit of AJAX” and should look familiar to Windows users.

In addition Synology recently upgraded their DSM (DiskStation Manager) software to version 3.0, which is designed to feel more like an OS than typical NAS software. The built in Media Server is DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) capable allowing the NAS to stream seamlessly to DNLA ready devices such as the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. The Synology DiskStation DS211j is operating system agnostic so it can be used on home/work networks running either Windows, Mac or Linux systems.

If you own an Android or iPhone/iPod Touch you can remotely interact with the DiskStation DS211j as well. The Synology DiskStation DS211j is designed to be an energy efficient server that can manage media, print, downloads, surveillance and mail. Synology NASes are not just designed for storage as they provide numerous additional features. Today we will check out their Home to Small Office solution that is $100 less than its big brother yet is still incredibly feature rich. Last week at technogog we looked at the Synology DiskStation 211 which is Synology’s Home to Business Workgroup NAS solution. A few years ago four terabytes of network storage could only be found housed in commercial servers today it can be easily accomplished with a personal use NAS and a couple of hard drives from Newegg. Now that 2 TB hard drives can be purchased for under a C-note NAS (Network Attached Storage) devices become even more appealing for the home or small business environment.
