I use this to back up my business data and partition for other important records. The website and training video (official and un official) make service great. > > **Cons**: The machine runs sometimes when no one is using it and the HDDs are just spinning away - seems they could make a more efficient sleep mode. > > A dependable, easy solution to implement and manage for the average IT savvy user. ----- ### "I have been a fan for years and I love it more the more I use it" — 5.0/5 > **Steve** | *6 August 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The UI is amazing to me. I love how easy it is to use. It looks just like a modern operating system but it runs inside the browser so it's very intuitive. I also love all the apps you can install to handle many different needs. I use it for Plex for managing my media and doing all my TV recording and playback. I also use it for Docker to run containers to manage my wifi network as well as using NodeRed to do some custom data work. > > **Cons**: The stated max memory for the unit I use at home, the DS 920+, is 8GB. That's very limiting if you want to run multiple virtual machines and docker containers. It will technically support more, I added a 16GB stick so I have 20GB and it works without problems but if I have any trouble I will have to take out the extra memory to get support. While my DS920+ supports two M2 style SSD drives, you can only use them for read cache and write cache. You can't allocate any of the storage for any other purpose. It would be really nice if I could put in one or two large SSDs and then use parts of them for fast storage. > > I've been using a DiskStation at my office for backups since around 2014 or 2015. I have loved it the whole time. I always wanted to get one to use at home and I finally did in 2020 and it's been great. I was blown away that when they released the newest version of the OS they even supported it on my old model so I was able to upgrade it and the new OS works great on the old hardware. I really like that they give proactive information about the state of the drives. If a drive is starting to have issues the software tells you about it, by email so you don't have to login to see it. I have replaced multiple drives long before they failed because of those early warnings. Replacing a drive is also very easy because of how they've built the interface. ----- ### "Virtualization and the future" — 4.0/5 > **David** | *24 September 2020* | Computer Networking | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: The power to run multiple applications for those who use to monitor networks, servers, is very worthwhile > > **Cons**: a little heavy when you use virtualization on a computer or notebook of a lower configuration, but it can be solved by choosing the amount of ram and number of process cores by the program > > Being able to use virtualization tools for using remote work in linux and windows environments and using network monitoring applications ----- ### "An Appliance for Anything" — 5.0/5 > **Dustin** | *29 July 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's so easy to set up and maintain. Once it's set up, you never really have to touch it either. Software is very stable and I sometimes go check on it wondering if my notification settings failed but there it is ready to do anything I need it to. The sheer number of roles I can install on a Diskstation are staggering and it is all comparable to software costing hundreds of dollars more than what you can get a full Diskstation and Drives for. > > **Cons**: I logged into my most recently installed DiskStation to see if I could find something that I didn't like and it's hard. Like I had to start getting really critical. The best I can come up with on cons is that some of the online documentation of features is a little vague. For example, I was trying to find out which was the smallest Diskstation I could install the new Virtual Machine Manager on and I had to just go on faith when it said I could install it.(System resources will be your bottleneck, not the actual DiskStation OS not letting you on smaller models so keep that in mind) > > We are able to provide mass storage for a fraction of the cost of putting in Windows File Servers for businesses whose needs are either too small or too spread out to justify the licensing costs associated with Microsoft Environments. ----- ### "Diskstation is perfect for personal and small business use. A great admin interface with good tools." — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *21 March 2018* | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The web Admin console handles just like a smooth operating system. It's easy to update applications and the Diskstation itself. It's amazing how far Synology has polished the interface experience, even compared to enterprise-grade interfaces. Cross-platform protocols supported: SMB and NFS are supported, which is great for my shop, as we have Linux, Windows and Apple devices that require a variety of protocols to access files via the Synology device. Raspberry PIs and many smart devices can communicate with your Diskstation without issue. Easy to get started: High adoption of these devices means lots of help can be found online. Synology provides how-to articles and knowledge base. Monitoring widgets: Easy and informative widgets to monitor capacity of drives, health, and resources available. These can be configured on a dashboard to check at a glace in the Admin interface. Integrates with Plex media center app. I can use my Diskstation NAS to host my local media and stream to all of my media devices on the network. > > **Cons**: Package Center adoption not comprehensive: It would be nice to see a larger variety of offerings for apps. As it stands, if you have a Diskstation that does not have the ability to run virtual machines, you you will be limited in what applications are available. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.sg/software/2072538/diskstation?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.sg/software/2072538/diskstation) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
