Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Price is good, good hardware from Synology, a lot of features or addons-apps to install, good security, a lot of updates, monitoring and logging is great, backup to the cloud is supported.
  • DiskStation greatly helps with backup and file access. For those who like to try, DMS apps offer useful and fun ways to take full advantage of your network-attached storage devices.
  • Backing up multiple Macs, backing itself up to another Synology drive or S3 and USB is seamless. Very easy to use and set up.
  • The interface is a lot more cleaner than I expected and having the peace of mind knowing that everything is backed up with the option to expand at a moments notice is great.
Cons
  • To set up remote login was a bit tricky specially setting up a DDNS.
  • Occassional lag over the internet (con of any remote interface).
  • I have a bare model with a weak cpu, and so every now and then I experience latency issues, or slow ramp up times.
  • A few things that require set up can sometimes be a bit confusing.
