Functionality: I wish I had known about the Synology SHR years ago, cause now that I bought their NAS and am learning about it, I am finding that there is an enormous amount of functionality that it brings to the table. I have struggled for years with sharing data between my Windows computer and my Macintosh because of the incompatible by design philosophy or either Microsoft, Apple, or both. The Synology NAS makes sharing data a breeze. Now, I need to mention that I am a software engineer (retired), so I am used to handling a certain level of complexity. So, I need to make it clear that Drobo was much simpler than the Synology NAS to setup. The Drobo was essentially a really big USB hard drive. You just format it and use it like any other drive. No muss no fuss. The Synology on the other hand is essentially a completely separate and very powerful computer that happens to have a whole bunch of storage in it. Synology try’s to make things simpler by allowing you to control everything through your web browser. Once you are connected to the NAS with you browser, you get what is actually a desktop on your NAS. I have included a screen shot of the desktop displayed in a browser window so you can see what I mean. The desktop includes various tools to adjust the configuration of you NAS as well as providing a way to download and install both updates, as well as additional applications (packages) for other things you might like your NAS to do. With Package Center you can install apps to turn your NAS into a download server, a DHCP server, And audio and or video media server, a mail server, you can load an office suite as well as a simple text editor, you can install a VPN server and eve a chat server. There are also Open Source applications that can be installed and also a category called Contributor that has some third party applications like TeamViewer and KodiExplorer.
Overview: The DS423 I purchased has two Gig-T Ethernet ports on the back, along with two USB3 ports that can be used to backup the NAS to external USB drives. It has slots for four drives. As a replacement for my failed Drobo, the Synology NAS does a great job, at the expense of having to learn how to set it up. That is the only real down side. If you are a novice computer user, then you will need someone to set it up for you, or you will need to just go with a USB external hard disk and forget about using a NAS. The operating system in the NAS is Linux, but Synology has hidden it very well, so you don’t need to be a Linux expert, or even a Linux user to master the Synology, but you will need to brush up on some of the network terminology that is essential to configuring a NAS. Do I recommend the Synology NAS, definitely. I had mine up and running in a minimal configuration in a few hours, but exploring all the options takes time so expect to spend some additional hours learning some new stuff. By the way, Synology makes a 2 drive bay NAS DS223 that has all the capability of my DS423, but only costs $250. Add a couple of big drives and you have a pretty good backup system for little money.

I recently had the pleasure of diving into the world of network-attached storage (NAS) with the Synology NAS, and I must say, the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. From its effortless setup to its silent operation and smooth DiskStation Manager (DSM) interface, this NAS has exceeded my expectations on multiple fronts.
**Ease of Setup: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)**
Setting up the Synology NAS was refreshingly straightforward. Thanks to its intuitive design and well-documented instructions, I was able to get the NAS up and running within minutes. The included quick-start guide was easy to follow, and the web-based setup wizard made the process hassle-free even for someone with limited technical expertise. The fact that I didn't need to fiddle with complex networking configurations was a huge plus for me.
**Silent Operation: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)**
One of the standout features of this NAS is its almost silent operation. Unlike some other NAS systems I've encountered, the Synology unit emits minimal noise, making it a perfect addition to any home or office environment. Whether placed on a desk or tucked away in a closet, the whisper-quiet operation ensures that it doesn't disrupt the tranquility of the space. This is a huge advantage, especially when considering its potential placement in shared living areas.
**Smooth DSM Interface: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)**
The crown jewel of the Synology NAS experience is undoubtedly its DiskStation Manager (DSM) interface. Navigating through DSM feels like a breeze, thanks to its user-friendly layout and comprehensive features. Whether you're a tech-savvy user or a novice, DSM caters to both ends of the spectrum. I found the management of files, applications, and user accounts to be exceptionally well-organized, making it simple to customize the NAS according to my needs.
**Conclusion:**
In conclusion, the Synology NAS has proven to be a game-changer in the world of network-attached storage. Its seamless setup process, virtually silent operation, and smooth DSM interface make it a top-tier choice for both individuals and small businesses. Whether you're using it for personal data storage, media streaming, or even as a backup solution, the Synology NAS delivers on its promises. Its blend of user-friendliness and advanced capabilities truly sets it apart, making it a product I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone in need of reliable and efficient storage solutions.
