Review: Synology DiskStation DS710+ NAS Device


PCWorld: Review – Synology DiskStation DS710+ NAS Device

The reviewer was particular impressed with the easy set-up and the user interface, Disk Station Manager, which “stands head and shoulders above other NAS interfaces,” he says. Downside: price – $499 without disks.


“Most of the time, a good network-attached storage (NAS) device isn’t always a pretty one. File storage isn’t a beauty contest, and if it were, the first place crown would usually go to the hefty, less-attractive contestants that emphasized reliability over small, sleek curves. That’s why Synology’s DS710+ is a breath of fresh air–all the function that comes with this NAS device is also packed inside a svelte, eye-catching package.

Unlike other monstrous business-class NAS devices you’ll see from companies like QNAP, NetGear or Thecus, the DS710+ is compact and beautiful, even compared against LaCie’s Jetsons-like lineup. Sporting a solid yet soft metal case around the enclosure, this two-drive model eschews the metallic gray space station aesthetic for sleek black casing. Simply put, the overall feel of the device is just plain stylish.”
