According to our NAS expert
With 4 bays, a Quad-Core processor, and 2GB RAM, the Synology DS415+ is a powerful server with a huge storage capacity. You can store up to 24TB in this NAS, which is ideally suited for small and medium-sized companies that want to realize a lot of safe storage. Thanks to the fast Quad-Core processor with AES-NI hardware encryption, you can rapidly transfer encrypted files.

Packing / Unpacking As expected, the NAS was shipped neatly and firmly via Coolblue. After ordering, the package was delivered to my front door by TNT the next day between 12:00 and 13:00. The NAS was packed in the well-known Coolblue box and had no damage from its journey. After unpacking and quickly reading the manual, the NAS was online quite quickly. In terms of storage space, I supplemented the NAS with 4 times 4TB in shr 2 (Raid 6) mode. Shr is a synology software Raid mode which allows you to expand later very easily.
Installing the NAS Installing the NAS went smoothly. The only "problem" I encountered was having to reconfigure the raid itself after the quick install because it defaulted to the wrong raid. I wanted shr2, by default he would have chosen shr1. Creating a QuickConnect ID is also an option during installation. You can skip this one if you want to do this later or if you already have such an ID. The sound production Like almost everyone else, the NAS is in the meter cupboard. Due to its small size, this is very easy. In silent mode, the NAS can hardly be heard and this is not much different in "cool" mode.
Software By default, the NAS is pre-installed with DSM 5.0. As a Windows layman, I can work with this very easily and all options necessary to adjust the NAS to my wishes are present. The DSM 5.0 version is very extensive, well-arranged and does what it's supposed to do. It makes customizing and setting up the NAS very easy.
Positive features of DSM 5.0 are: Clear. Fast. Email notifications. Can be adjusted to personal taste. 2 step login system with Google authenticator. Own wallpaper option.
Negative features of DSM 5.0 are: (yet) No possible to costum synology packages. Unable to rename or move Cloud map. All Cloud Data is stored in a folder. Cloud data from other users is very easy to access internally. This can be solved by permissions.
Synology Cloud. Setting up my own Cloud, that's what I actually bought the product for. Cloud providers have been in the news very negatively in recent weeks and that's why I made the decision to set up their own Cloud. Currently I have 5 users who keep their data safe on the NAS. These are also users outside the internal network and this is easy to do with a QuickConnect ID that you can create when installing the NAS.
Synology Cloud Client. The client version for windows very much like the NAS itself very easy and pleasant. As soon as you adjust a Microsoft word document or image, it is automatically uploaded to the NAS. Files with the same name are saved on the NAS 32 times by default. 32 times the option to go back to a previous version. This is very useful if you accidentally delete text or overwrite an image.
QuickConnect ID No more hassle with ports and setting up the router. QuickConnect ID is synology's answer to all those previous router "problems". A little icter has no problem forwarding ports to your NAS. However, this can be difficult for a home and garden user and QuickConnect-ID is a very easy solution. You can even reach your NAS via a special domain name offered by synology.
Synology Apps Synology's apps have come a long way since the last update. Almost everything can be arranged or accessed via these apps. Because I only have an Andriod phone, I can only speak about these apps as a positive experience. Everything is easy to set up with the QuickConnect ID.
Network Due to the possibility to bundle the 2 network connections, the NAS can achieve high speeds on the network. Copying files to the NAS or from the NAS is very fast. I can easily get 60 to 70 MB via a cat5 cable. Uploading or maintaining files via the Cloud happens immediately. Because he copies files 1 by 1 this is very fast.
Experience after the first week. I have had this NAS for almost a week now and after this short period of time my experiences have been very positive. The fast quad core (2.4GHz) CPU is both economical and very fast in opening and installing "synology packages". Copying and setting up the cloud was very easy after some searching.
Negative points After being so positive about this NAS, I must also honestly admit that there is also a negative point. The only minus point I can find so far is that you cannot indicate on the client software where you want the Cloud folder. Many people have a Data drive next to their SSD and this makes it difficult to place all files in the Cloud because an SSD is quickly full. However, I have reported this and hope this can be resolved in the future.

Since the introduction of the DS212j at the end of 2011, I have had a Synology NAS at home. What strikes me is the continuous support and updates by Synology. Also for older hardware. Super ordinary.
Because the DS212j in terms of speed / slowness resulted in more and more frustrations. And as my company became increasingly 'dependent' on the (rapid) availability of my data, I started looking for a replacement. It was clear that it had to be a Synology again.
I wasn't looking for the top model NAS. With a current generation NAS I have enough 'power', I thought. Moore's law also affects Synology's NAS, of course. In terms of hardware and specifications, quite a bit has changed in recent years. Extra HD bays were a wish. That way I can add disks in the long run and choose a different RAID configuration.
In the end I opted for the DS415+. 2 extra HD bays compared to my previous NAS. Current hardware specifications. And still the software and service from Synology.
What a relief!! Switching from the DS212j to the DS415+ was super easy. And the speed?!?! Max Verstappen is nothing ;-) It's great to be able to access your shares and data as if they were local. No more unstable network connections. Just 'click' and 'pop'... As far as I'm concerned, the DS415+ is a 'next-gen' NAS. And for my use definitely a top model!

Great nose! Would have liked a little less plastic, but the user experience, speed and possibilities make up for a lot! installation is a piece of cake, for me as an IT person that is. Chosen this Nas to disconnect some PCs due to with power saving. It's about my mail and home/nas server (freenas) about the latter with a little pain in my heart . Who knows, maybe I'll throw it back in the air later. Time will tell. If you are looking for a versatile nas, I can definitely recommend this one
