First, I recommend that you go with synology. Synology software is more secure, feature rich and easier to use. QNAP has a history of security vulnerabilities. Nothing can redeem a device that loses all of your data to ransomware. Synology software is fairly slick and just works. It does everything you need and is simple enough for lost if us to use. Second, I recommend this entry level business synology for most consumers and small businesses. It supports raid. That makes data more secure and makes recovery a snap if one drive fails. It also makes upgrading hard drive size a snap. Just put one new, larger drive in, let it replicate, then install the 2nd larger drive. Upgrading to a new NAS is much easier when you have a raid pair, too. This is also the cheapest synology to support active backup for business. That is a free backup client that can backup all of your connected macs and pc’s. That alone can pay for this device. Synoligy C2 online backuo is affordable and easy to use with this. It makes for simple backup. At my home I also use DS video to store all of our videos. No looking for dvds or blu rays. All of our home videos are easily accessible as well. We can also connect to our movies from anywhere. When we go out of town, we just bring our chromecast and can watch our entire movie library. We also store our surveillance cam footage on this too. You get two free licenses, but have to pay about $50 each for additional cameras. The surveliimce software works adequately, but it is probably the weakest feature that I use. You can set up a VPN, which works well and is easy time use. We use synology drive which is kind of a private Dropbox, for remote access and sharing of files. The iOS client works well. It alsi has a cloud sync client so you can sync your NAS to things like Dropbox, Google drive and OneDrive. This is an easy, affordable, secure, robust file server that lets you do so much more. I recommend. Review: Versatile Media Server and Home Data Storage Solution - I purchased the Synology DS224+ NAS primarily as a media server. My requirements were pretty straightforward. I was in the process of transferring and consolidating years of analog and digital multimedia. I was not comfortable with sticking with cloud storage. Unpredictable internet speed demanded local storage for performance. So, I decided to get a networked storage device that was fast and simple to set up and maintain. After considerable research, I settled on Synology's DS224+. I had some experience using Plex on my PC with an external drive, so the built-in Plex Server app was a bonus. The setup of the RAID 1 (other options are available) dual drive (drives purchased separately) was straightforward using the Linux-based DSM 7 operating system. My knowledge of networking is limited, so it took some poking around to figure out how to map a shared folder on the NAS to a lettered drive on my PC. Transferring all of the media files from my PC to the NAS was incredibly fast once the setup was complete. Performance using LAN Plex clients on my PC, Android tablet, Roku, and phone was better than I expected. The DSM 7 OS has a rich set of apps for backing up, taking snapshots, and setting up a cloud-based drive service. Those were very easy to set up on both the NAS side as well as the PC client side. I decided to take it one step further and set up remote access. The DSM 7 NAS OS has options for VPN service. So, I decided to set up the OpenVPN server. This is where things get sticky. Without getting into all of the details, the default VPN configuration makes some minor security compromises, perhaps to accommodate older client configurations. I had to make some tweaks to the configuration and regenerate the security certificate key to get a sold VPN connection with no warnings. So, you may want to have someone handy who knows a bit about VPN setup to help out, or be prepared to do some research! Alternatively, you can connect remotely using Synology's QuickConnect. The setup is straightforward. It may not be entirely as secure as a VPN connection since it relies on Synology's servers, and you can't access other devices on the LAN remotely. All that being said, if you simply want remote access to your NAS, I would recommend using QuickConnect simply based on easy of setup and use. The Plex performance was so good that I decided to ditch my Tablo and purchase an HDHomeRun quad tuner as an add-on to the Plex server. That was super easy to set up. Now, I have an Over The Air DVR setup that integrates with all of my other media. So far, I have found the Plex's performance and reliability to be far superior to the Tablo, especially when accessing it remotely. If you are simply looking for a simple home NAS and media server setup, the Synology DS224+ provides a solid solution at a reasonable price. Add on a multi-channel network tuner and you end up with a setup that will seriously tempt you into cutting the cord on cable and paid streaming services. If you are willing to fiddle around with the setup a bit, you get the added functionality of a secure VPN connection into the NAS and Media Server as well as other devices on your home LAN. Bottom line: The Synology DS224+ is solid winner in the entry level NAS arena. ## Features - Featured dual 1GbE LAN ports to support network failover, and with Link Aggregation enabled, DS220+ provides over 225 MB/s sequential read and 192 MB/s sequential write throughput.

Does it have a firewall and anti-virus software?** A: The DSM software come with a number of features to prevent malicious attacks. One of my units was hit with a ransomware attack. Nothing import on the unit as it was used for security camera video storage. I believe I was hit with what is called man in the middle hack. My credentials were taken when I periodically logged in to view the camera images. I was not taking the security seriously. Now I have turned on HTTPS and 2FA (two factor authentication). Point is that the features are there to secure you NAS but you have to make use of them. Hope this helps. **Q: Can i put an 8tb m.2 in the m.2 slot** A: No. The M.2 is for cache only and limited to 2GB each NVMe. WARNING- it is very picky for NVMe's. I tried it with WD and Samsung and they burned out within 6 months. Synology sells NVMe's that they make and I would recommend. I don't like being stuck to the MFG drives, but they work. Just based on personal experience. Synology 920+ (8GB Ram, 4 x 16tb Seagate Exos X16) **Q: how much storage space come with this device?** A: None. You need to buy hard drives **Q: would this unit support a NVME cache module?** A: Yes the Synology DS1522+ supports 2 of the NVMe M.2's in mirror (RAID1) for write-back cache, or just 1 of them for read-only cache. (You cannot force it to use 1 of them for read-write). Starting with the year 2022 models, as of date of this review October 2022, Synology no longer lists as compatible any drive except their own brand (vendor-lock). However, if you look at the prior version of this unit Synology 1520+, you'll see other options that DO work like certain Seagate m.2 Ironwolf (but not all of them).. Unfortunately, the Synology DSM 7.1 in these newer 2022 models will currently show a warning anything except their own brand of drives may not support all features and compatibility is not guaranteed either. Customers are not happy about this vendor-lock situation, hopefully Synology will cave in and certify other drives in the future. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bingo *by B***H on November 16, 2023* If you are looking at this product, you are probably looking at NAS from synology and QNAP.

After quite a bit of research and product comparisons, I decided to go with the market leader, and bought a NAS that seemed likely to be able to support my needs for several years, and offered some options for expanding the ways I use a NAS. For context, I mainly use my NAS as "network-attached storage": I back up files, and I share files for use on our multiple home computers. I don't use it for remote access (security concern: I'd rather use cloud storage services for that), and I don't use it as a repository for a media server, or anything else like that. I decided to use WD "Red" drives for this unit: based on specs and user and professional reviews, they seemed most likely to run reliably for as long as I needed. My previous experience with WD black, blue, and red drives has been consistently positive, whereas other vendors have let me down. Installation and setup was very easy: I had the unit up and running within a few minutes. Copying files over from my old NAS took some time, but the performance of this Synology unit exceeded my expectations. I was also pleased with how much faster my backup jobs were. I was especially pleased when apps that use network files began running much faster: so clearly both read and write performance were much improved in comparion with the old system. I also set up a USB backup. It took a little bit of reading in the Synology KB to learn how to do it right, but after that it was a breeze. I plugged in a USB hard drive in the back port (the front port can be configured for use with the USB Copy button), opened up the Hyper Backup app, and ran the initial backup to copy the entire NAS contents to the USB drive. Then I scheduled it to run incremental jobs every day, so now my paranoid backup demon is happy. (I save backup drives in a secure location to provide "disaster recovery"; overkill perhaps, but it buys peace of mind.) One criticism: the unit came with only 2GB memory, which seems cheesy. And what makes is super-cheesy is the way they price their branded "compatible memory" at ridiculous multiples of the market price. I was able to buy a 4GB Samsung memory card for under $15, and it worked just fine. You can do a web search and see that others have upgraded using larger memory cards. The Synology KB website is very good: it's well written and comprehensive. There's also an active user community, so there is a ton of information easily available. Overall I'm very happy with my Synology purchase, and would buy their NAS products again without hesitation. ## Frequently Bought Together - Synology 2-Bay DS220+ Dual Core CPU NAS Kit with 2GB Memory for Standard Users - Domestic Authorized Dealer Compatible Phone Support DiskStation - Synology D4NESO-2666-4G DDR4-2666-SODIMM / 4GB / Synology NAS Exclusive - Seagate IronWolf Hard Drive --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/210374683-synology-ds220](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/210374683-synology-ds220) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-07-20*
