Affordable at $300 for featuring a Braswell SoC and BTRFS support. Synology's software is superb.
Ships with 1GB of RAM that you can't upgrade and it lacks HDMIout like Synology's other NAS boxes.
The DiskStation DS716+ was a popular model when it first launched and it was easy to see why. It was the cheapest Synology NAS to support BTRFS and its powerful quad-core Braswell processor meant it could take on all comers.That said we could see the DS21...
Excellent performance, Synology's DSM 6.0 software is feature rich and well built, Quick and easy setup
DTS audio and 4K HEVC is not supported [Update - Coming in June], High bitrate video suffers from artefacts and buffering, Lacks HDMI port, 1GB of RAM is not upgradeable
The DS216+ is a great little box to safely store and search through huge photo, music and video collections. But it's a tad too picky about what it will and what it won't playback...

4K video transcoding, Fast data access speeds, User friendly Synology DSM OS, Screwless installation and maintenance, Front USB 3.0 useful for instant backup
Only one USB 3.0 port, Single Gigabit LAN port,
The DS216+II is an extremely simple yet capable NAS server that requires no effort in learning even if you are new to Synology's products, in fact I feel that i even simpler to set up than the DS216j that we've reviewed back then, it has a decent perform...
Needs more USB 3.0 ports, Streaming 60fps 4k files causes problems
The Synology DiskStation DS216+II is a very minor upgrade from the DS216+, but for anyone with an older Synology NAS looking for a robust file and media server, this unit ticks both boxes. Yes, there are some transcoding issues that are to be expected...
El DiskStation DS216+ de Synology es un potente NAS multimedia que cuenta con un hardware a la altura capaz de mover sin problemas las peticiones de los usuarios, ya sean estos domésticos o semiprofesionales. La velocidad de transferencia de los archivos...
Des fonctionnalités en pagaille avec DSM 6.0, Un système performant, La gestion du transcodage 4K, Les évolutions et le suivi de Synology, Installation et manipulation aisées
Un prix qui reste élevé
Le NAS DS216+ de Synology nous a largement convaincus de par son ergonomie tant au niveau de l'installation que de celle de la nouvelle version 6.0 de DiskStation Manager qui maintient un nombre élevé de fonctionnalités sans tomber dans les lourdeurs habi...
Die Synology DS216+ ist gut verarbeitet und erfüllt Dank des umfangreichen DiskStation Managers so ziemlich jeden Wunsch der in einem privaten Umfeld aufkommen kann. Aber auch für kleinere Unternehmen könnte die DS216+ interessant sein. Insgesamt bietet...
