Nov 27, 2016 Synology DiskStation DS216j is a 2-bay NAS server which perfectly fits home and personal users to build your own personal cloud. Simple yet powerful, Synology DS216j offers you a new experience of effortless data sharing, multimedia streaming, and cloud synchronization under its neat and sleek appearance. Last year, I reviewed the DS216, part of Synology's Value Series targeted at the Home/Workgroup. This review will focus on the DS216j, a lower-priced entry-level model targeted at home users. Synology's NAS Comparison tool currently shows six two-bay desktop models, two each in its 'Plus', 'Value.
I took a few days reading all the review I can and decided to buy this synology over WD or Seagate. Main reason are:1. Can act as real personal cloud which similar to Dropbox / Google Drive
2. Can link to Google Drive / Dropbox / Baidu cloud
3. So many 3rd party web based app and mobile app
4. Support Apple TV (only one so far)
5. Easily add / remove Drive if needed
6. Best of all -- have its own video Transcoder which support more video format viewing.
First when I received the package, find out the box is lighter and thought. But after open that everything is packed nicely. All the cables, screws, and quick installation guide is packed nicely in the small box.
Mechanically very thoughtful when secureing the hard drive using the screw. Have enough opening for the putting the screw in. Once Ethernet cable and Power adapter is plugged in. Just power up and login to find.synology.com and follow the setup. Everything is automatically done pretty much!
And whatever I want they have the very easy to read knowledge based app.
One thing to notice is that there is two hard drive slot I original plug to Drive 2 since I only got one hard drive. But not sure if it will have any effect though.
Also notice that if you have 1x 4TB installed, you can only install the 2nd drive 4TB or up. Not lower.
Drive performance is great.
Hope this review helps

What is the Synology DS215j?
This the latest in Synology’s highly successful range of ‘j’ budget network-attached storage (NAS) devices, and a tweaked two-bay version of the hugely impressive single-bay DS115j. But does it scale up well?

Synology DS215j – Design
Apart from being slightly bigger, from a design perspective the DS215j is virtually identical to its smaller stable mate. In fact it’s almost identical to the last few generations of NAS in Synology’s j range.
That isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The j range always comes in white, which makes it a little more living-room friendly than the imposing black finish found on most NAS and, despite having an entirely plastic chassis, it’s sturdy and well built. There is some flex to the sides, but you’re unlikely to be subjecting it to much abuse.
Furthermore at 225.5 x 165 x 100mm and 880g (unpopulated) the DS215j is extremely compact and light for a NAS that can hold two 3.5in HDDs. Like all Synology NAS there’s no display, but Status, LAN and disk-activity lights tell you all the basics you need to know.

Synology DS215j – Features
Given the jump to dual bays, the DS215j does offer a slight performance bump compared to the DS115j. This comes in the form of 512MB RAM – double that of the DS115j – but otherwise little’s changed.
There’s still the same Marvell Armada 375 dual core 800MHz CPU which has long punched above its weight, and familiar connectivity with a single Gigabit Ethernet port, one USB 3.0 and one USB 2.0, all positioned on the back.
There’s also the same 92 x 92mm fan as the DS115j, a limitation of its thinner body compared to the 120 x 120mm fans on the larger four-bay NAS, as big fans spin more slowly.

Synology DS215j – Setup
So on paper the DS215j makes a solid start, though you’ll notice its budget roots during the hardware setup.
Unlike more premium Synology NAS, the DS215j follows the j range’s slightly more ungainly hard drive installation system. Free ico converter windows 10. This means the chassis itself splits in two to expose the bays and, while drives slot straight in, there’s no tool-less lock, so you’ll need a screwdriver to secure each one in place.
In fairness this only adds a few minutes to the installation and it isn’t something you’ll be doing often in future.
The good news is after that Synology’s so far unequalled software setup kicks in. Once powered up, users simply type ‘find.synology.com’ into a browser and it automatically detects the NAS and begins the setup wizard. Here it downloads the latest software, lets you choose your RAID type – Basic, JBOD, RAID 0 and 1 are also supported – and your username and password.

It takes little more than 10 minutes to set up drives – it supports drives up to 8TB at present – and after that you find yourself inside DSM which, for our money, is the most powerful and intuitive NAS UI currently available.
