Synology DS220+

Simple and powerful personal NAS

- 

Network-attached storage or NAS comes in different configurations and features, and this month let us take a thorough look at Synology’s latest DiskStation DS220+.

The DS220+ takes over from the DS218+ with improved performance and features, but when it comes to design, the successor follows the structured design of the DS218+. The design is identical that one can mistake the latest NAS for the former, save for the model number printed on the removable front. There are some differences, of course. First is the extra status LED for the second LAN port on the front. The corresponding Gigabit Ethernet port is placed at the back along with a USB 3.0 that has been swapped for the eSATA port.
