NAS (Network Attached Storage) drives are becoming increasingly popular and they do cost a pretty penny, for those that can afford them they are worth every last bit! Today’s review is focused on the 2-bay DS211 which proved to be much more than just n...
Bottom line Although the Disk Station DS211 is far from the cheapest 2-bay NAS device you will come across, it’s certainly one of the best in terms of performance. For those that only require 4 – 6GB’s of storage and want something that will provide reasonably hig...

When it comes to NASes, we usually test either top-end or, on the contrary, low-end products. The former are indicative of the manufacturer’s technological achievements whereas the latter offer the most appealing price/performance ratio to the customer...
Bottom line According to our tests, the DS211 model, positioned by Synology as a mainstream NAS, is not far inferior to its top-end counterparts in terms of data transfer speed. We guess Synology products can be viewed as falling into two categories only: the ent...

Recently I’ve been able to spend some time with Synology’s relatively new DiskStation DS211 network-attached storage device. Like the DS210+, the DS210j and the DS209 before it, the DS211 is a two-disk NAS unit from a company that only makes storage de...

The Synology DiskStation DS211 isn’t the company’s first NAS to cross the SlashGear test bench, but it’s perhaps the most home-user focused model so far. A two-bay network-attached backup box, the DS211 also throws in DLNA media streaming duties and cr...
Bottom line There’s a huge amount to like about the Synology DiskStation DS211. Not only is the NAS well made and compact, the DiskStation Manager 3.0 software stands head and shoulders above rivals for not only ease of initial setup but for ongoing use. We’d lik...

Synology released a few new NAS boxes yesterday and today I’ve got the DS211 for review. The DS211 features the new DSM3.0 operating system which makes life much easier when you’re trying to work with it. The new interface, for lack of a better descri...

Bottom line The new DS211 is an excellent product really and I’m truly amazed at how smoothly everything works. The box only has 256MB of ram on board and it running a 1.6GHZ CPU, but yet the interface is smooth and problem free. The new DSM 3.0 interface is trul...
