Four drive bays, External eSata port, Open, source software add, ons, A lot of setup options for experts
Complicated setup for novice users, Slow transfer speeds

Extra IP Cam Licenses Required For Use With More Than 1
It's no coincidence that Synology has managed to climb ontop of their field right next to a lot older companies and their products are proof of that. The DiskStation DS44 has a solid build quality, a nice design (although as mentioned before fu...
