A high-performance NAS drive designed by people who seem to know that great features only count if you make them accessible and easy to configure. It's not the most powerful on the market, but for most people, the DS216+ is all the NAS they'll ever nee...
All-in-all the 216+II NAS matched up to our expectations from Synology and will be a very good choice for home or small business use. If you aren't confident about installing hard disks, then this is the box to get as it's easy and doesn't require tools...

Solid performance, Supports 4K video transcoding, User-friendly management software, Lots of apps, Quiet,
Lacks on-board LCD panel, Does not come with storage drives
The Synology DiskStation DS216+II is a whisper-quiet two-bay NAS device that offers good file transfer performance, 4K video transcoding, and a generous selection of apps. It's a breeze to set up and manage...
Good overall performance, 4k video transcoding, DSM suite of applications
No long-term scalability

Before I get into the nitty-gritty I wanted to take a second and really commend Synology for making setting up and managing a NAS extremely easy. As I mentioned earlier in this review, in the past it was extremely hard to setup and manage a NAS, you had t...
Abstract: When I reviewed the Synology BeyondCloud, I quite liked it If anything, the one issue was that it was locked to the original two 3 TB drives This is perfect for the home user, but if you're a power user you might feel constrained Thankfully, Synology make...
Very userfriendly OS (DSM 6.0), Feature rich and broad services, Btrfs and Snapshot support, 4K video transcoding, Low price for x86 NAS
None
Testing a NAS these days has become simpler, but also stagnant. Many of the older tests like NASPT haven't been updated in a long time and are no long compatible with modern systems, and simple file transfers are largely limited by a single issue, Gigabit...

The Synology DiskStation DS216+ lives up to the reputation of Synology's plus family of NAS. The hardware along with the new DSM 6.0, puts this NAS at the top of the list for dual bay NAS performance and functionality.The performance of the Synology DiskS...
Very good performance, Excellent multimedia streaming features, Handles numerous small office tasks
A bit pricy, eSATA rather than SuperSpeed USB port for external storage
The Synology DS216+ is a great little box, and streams multimedia as well as any NAS box in its class. If you're looking for a central repository for your songs, photos, and movies that any device in your house can acces, you could do far worse. Bu...
