Review is 7,6 out of 10.

Fine if disks are only synology

nice and fast
NOTE!! ONLY works with Synology drives!!!!! Not with other brands

The Synology 8T was out of stock, so I ordered another brand of hard drives. I couldn't install it, so now I have to order Synology drives because they're back in stock.

So be careful: only choose Synology drives!

Review is 10 out of 10.

Meets expectations perfectly.

DSM.
Expandable up to 15 drives.
Lifted the restriction for non-Synology drives.
10 Gb network card optional.

After buying the 1522+ for myself last year, we bought the 1525+ for my son this year. We opted for the Synology hard drives because he didn't have any hard drives yet. Synology has since lifted the restrictions on drives from other brands, but when comparing prices, we couldn't really see any difference between Synology's Plus series and similar Seagate or WD drives. For peace of mind, we opted for the Synology drives. The specifications are more than adequate for this NAS. DSM remains the ideal system, but the competition is catching up...
