You've got quite a lot of choice if you're looking for an affordable 2-bay NAS, that much is clear. Based on our test with 8 models, the performance is also fine. Obviously the performance scales with the price, as you would expect. The DS216se from Syn...

PricingWhere do I start? This is an amazing device designed for home users, but with features like those found in business devices. It's cheap to run as it barely draws any power and it comes with a very modest price tag as well. In the UK, you can pick u...

Low price, DSM 5.1 software, Synology Package Centre hosts more software, Quiet operation
Downloading multiple files slow performance, Only one USB 3.0 port
Synology's latest two-bay NAS is the DS215j. This model looks very similar to the DS214 and shares almost all of the features, except for the loss of one USB 3.0 port (you get one USB 3.0 and one USB 2.0) and a reduction in processor speed. The DS214 uses...

Slightly noiser than other Synology NAS, No tool-less drive installation

Overall, I've been very impressed by the DiskStation DS215j, though considering how little I knew about NAS systems before that probably wasn't hard. I'd call it definitely worth the $259 RRP (remember you'll need to pay extra for the hard drives)...
The Synology DS215j home NAS device is an excellent solution for the home or small-office scenario in which the main administrator isn't an advanced user. The NAS has a whole bundle of excellent features and add-ons so the most common uses of a NAS — medi...
