Synology makes a solid NAS device with an excellent software feature set.  The only feature that I found lacking was the number/type of external expansion ports.

Today, I am taking a look at another Network Attached Storage device.  As the title suggests, the Synology DS410j NAS is the subject of today’s review.  This is brand new product from Synology and is the new top-of-the-line model in their SOHO lineup.

As a primer, you might want to read my unboxing post before you continue reading this review.

About Jim Clark

Hello. I’m from the heartland of the U.S. Lots of corn and beans, although Iowa is a lot more than just farmland. It also has a few computer enthusiasts (no, not me!). I’ve been around PCs since I got my 1st PC XT aloooong time ago. WGS is one of the first sites I found centered around WHS. And the best. Every once in awhile, I do get away from the KB and enjoy time with and my wife and our 4 kids. And I do have a day job.

    it is a nice review. the only detail i miss is something like a speed test.

    ie a big file copy too and from the device on smb/cifd and nfs
    and use iometer on an iscsi lun.

    such information can make an easier choice between a qnap and this one ;-)
    with such teste you can find out easily if the device can handle raid5 .. and not just bring it as an feature for loosing less disks then twice raid 1.
