10/10

Great, powerful device for all documents.

  • Easy and convenient
  • Fast
  • No hassle with setting
  • Friend who whines about the size at the meter cupboard

It is a nice quiet device that is easy to set up for all documents for you and your partner (also to be protected per folder, if you know what I mean). So top notch! Something for everyone!

Defective video streamer (DTS, Plex)

  • Silent in use
  • Small in size
  • Low energy consumption
  • Does not support DTS

The DS216play leaves a lot to be desired as a media streamer: there is no native support for DTS audio (a longstanding licensing issue) and Plex does not support transcoding on this NAS, resulting in constant error messages when playing HD video files with subtitles ("this server is not powerful enough to convert video"). Therefore, not recommended as a central hub for HD video streams.

If only I had bought this 5 years ago.

  • Quick installation
  • Speed is great
  • Huge selection of useful apps
  • Need some knowledge to be able to take advantage of all apps

Wow, a piece of cake to be fully up and running within 15 mins. The DS is fast, easy and with a fast internet connection you will also notice on your mobile or elsewhere via a browser that you can access all your files super fast, much easier than via Google Drive or those kinds of services.
For some apps you do need some knowledge to be able to make good use of them, but luckily you can find them all over the internet.
