Synology Disk Station DS410j NAS Review

Final Words and Conclusion

The Disk Station is a very good NAS and we cannot name any alternative on the market that has so many features, it is really more like a little server.

At around the £300/$500 mark the Disk Station 410j isn’t a budget item, it is however very competitively priced when compared to products from other companies. There is of course no Hard disk included but this allows us to create a custom sized hard disk plan, choosing the ideal configuration before purchasing. The only minor negative we can see with this product is that it comes with two year’s warranty, we would have liked to see 3 years in a perfect world however their support via the Synology website is very good and the frequency of software updates is also impressive.

Worth keeping in mind is that this is the mid to high end model so there are plenty more options to choose from depending on the budget available. The DS210j for example is the 2 drive model with exactly the same features as this one but comes in at a more affordable price of around £150.

For somewhere to store large quantities of data at home or in the office, with the flexibility to do most things a full blown server can do, we highly recommend Synology’s Disk Station range. Don’t take our word for it though, Synology are so confident in their product that they have a live demo on their site of a fully working model. This allows users to experience the great admin section and feature set on the Disk Station Models prior to purchasing.
