A chore to install drives
Case a little thin
Quite expensive when considering the total cost
Not the fastest transfer speeds with lots of files
It's easy to mark the Synology DS213air down for its high price, especially when compared to rival devices like the HP ProLiant microserver. To do so is to ignore the benefits of Synology's DSM operating system. While it's certainly possible to configu...

Very good NAS performance. Built-in wireless. USB 3.0 ports. Excellent management software and setup. Very feature-heavy.
Below average wireless performance. Only supports 2.4 GHz. Case hard to open. Wi-Fi button small and clumsy to work with
