Overview

» Enlarge

The good:
  • Small, encouraging design
  • Heavily featured
  • Quite fast
The bad:
  • Initial set up routine too complex for average users
  • Disk management could use some work
The bottomline:

The Synology DS209 is an excellent little unit, with a more complex than necessary set up routine. Still for those looking for a highly featured, high performing NAS with an easy to use and flashy menu, it's certainly a compelling choice.

Editors’ rating:

8.5/10

RRP: AU$625.00
