The Synology DS209 is one of our favourite NAS systems. Just like the DS207+, it has two bays, but slightly different hardware: this model has a 1.2 GHz CPU with 256 MB of RAM and a 70 mm fan to keep the whole thing cool.The case is in white plastic...

Design The petite (for a NAS, anyway) Synology DS209 breaks from the pack by covering itself in white plastic and stepping away from the stark utilitarian style often employed by the devices. Instantly, you get the feeling that the Synology is somethin...

The Synology DS209 is an excellent little unit, with a more complex than necessary set up routine. Still for those looking for a highly featured, high performing NAS with an easy to use and flashy menu, its certainly a compelling choice.

The bottom line is that there is suprisingly little performance difference between the DS209+II and confusingly-named DS209. And since the 209 is about $150 cheaper than the 209+II and around $50 less expensive than the previous-generation 209+, it's clearly the smartest buy...
