Description

Keep your business and personal files organized with the Synology DS223j NAS. This small NAS has room for 2 hard drives, which you can use in a RAID setup as well. Use 1 drive for your files and the other for your backups, for example. Thanks to the small size, this NAS doesn't take up a lot of space. This means you can easily place it on your desk. The DS223j was developed for small companies, to make it easier to share files on a small and local server. This NAS works with Linux, Chromebook, Android, iOS, Mac, and Windows. So you don't have to format your device. Thanks to the 1GB RAM and Quad-Core RealTek processor, you can process all tasks without delays and multitask with an entire small company on the same NAS at the same time. Just like with all Synology NAS models, you can also use Synology Drive Server with the DS223j. This allows you to edit the storage space of the NAS from every connected device. That's useful if you're working from home and still want access to your files.

Review is 8,8 out of 10.

Good NAS for relatively little money

Reliable operation
Little noise

Installing it takes a bit of work, but once installed, it works perfectly. I used an older Synology NAS that crashed constantly. The software has been greatly improved.

Super user-friendly NAS

easy to install
volume to choose
space for 2 discs that can double each other
no

It is a very user-friendly product and it was the first time I set up a NAS. This went very smoothly and very user-friendly in Dutch.

Disks in SHR mode. This is that you make an identical copy of data.

Disks of choice to insert in the size you want.

Installing the hard disks was also user-friendly.
