Abstract: Synology has its DS412+ and Thecus has its N4800. Both are four-bay NAS servers equipped with Intel’s Atom D2700 processor. But does Intel's latest low-power platform help these appliances outperform their predecessors, which were armed with Atom D525?...
2 Ethernet cable included, Really Fast and Quiet, DSM 5.0, Lots of packages to install
Expensive, Final Words, If you are looking for a fast and quiet NAS with tons of options and the ability to contain 4 drives, then the DS412+ is really something to consider. Ok it is pretty expensive but you also get something in return. I also really

Abstract: As of the beginning of 2013 Synology offers three models of 4-disk network attached storage devices for different market segments. The DS413j is meant for home and SOHO users with its ARM platform, lack of hot-swapping, and only two USB 2.0 ports for p...

Bloody fast—able to saturate a gigabit Ethernet pipe with four disks, and probably with some head room still left, Small and quiet, Outstanding GUI, Healthy ecosystem of official and unofficial software to extend functionality
No way around it: this device is expensive, Getting the most out of the NAS with mods requires some familiarity with the command line

The Synology DiskStation DS412+ offers fast performance, a vast number of features, and an excellent user interface
DiskStation DS412+ comes with just one IP camera license, making it very expensive for a surveillance system, and it takes a relatively long time to generate thumbnails for photos
Synology DiskStation DS412+ makes an excellent NAS server for advanced home and small-office networks.
Good price compared to the competition, Strong CPU (for a NAS), Support for four, hot-swap, disks, Lots of features, Intuitive and windowed operating system, High transfer speeds, Dual Gigabit Ethernet NICs, USB 3.0 compatibility, Ability to skip disk che
HDD trays are not numbered, Plastic casing, Only one SO-DIMM slot and it is hard to reach, Cannot format an external disk to NTFS, Not ErP Lot 6 compliant, Not compatible with all USB 3.0 external cases/disks, Short warranty
All in all the DS412+ left me satisfied with its performance, high reliability and especially its nice operating system, which is very easy to use even for inexperienced users. The NAS proved to be astonishingly fast even in RAID 1 mode and surpassed c...
There is no questioning the performance of the new DS412+, as the dual-core Atom 2.13GHz processor allowed it to hang with some of the fastest units we have tested. The DS412+ had no trouble matching the performance of the bigger and more expensive DS1...
