Anyone one here that could comment on Synology NAS boxes?
I can't comment on their RAID performance as I chose a single-drive DS110j. I like the administration software and the ability to schedule a power on and off routine (don't know if each and every model supports this). My model uses 9W when on and idle.
They are not fanless, but I believe a fan cooled enclosure can only contribute to increased reliability.
It's hard to find negative comments and reviews on them, and NAS type devices are all that they manufacture. They also have well implemented support, software downloads, forum and website organization.
