Review: Superb NAS Easy to use, fast, great flexible functionality. - I opted for the 8Gb version and have been very pleased with the item. The synology diskstation inerface is very user friendly and easy to use. The surveilance station interface for CCTV cameras is a great feature and adding cameras is easy. There are many apps that can be added from both synology and 3rd party vendors adding even more functionality. I have added a 10gb network card and has experienced superb throughput via my 10gb switch. Would recommend in a hearbeat.
Review: Great unit and good support (but it did fail after 22 months!) - Had this unit for almost 2 years - fully populated with 12 WD Red 4Tb HDDs running 2 disc redundancy and a hot swap. Last week it failed - apparently showing failures on 9 of the 12 discs. Contacted Synology support in UK who were very helpful in giving us diagnostic tests to do. Concluded quickly that the MoBo had failed. We were able to drop the unit off in Bletchley one day and a replacement unit was couriered to us arriving the next day. We replaced all the old drives in order, switched on and held our breaths! Everything was completely fine - no reconfiguration was necessary and all drives are working fine with no data loss at all. Full marks to Synology tech support and for a seamless migration, but a tiny niggle over the fact that unit failed at all!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Any views on the benefits of wd red or wd red pro disks to fill the unit? price difference is ~£500 for 12 6tb disks need a bit of justification :-)**
A: Hi,
Thanks for the query.

The WD Red Pro has a higher performance and is a more efficient drive.

Kind Regards,
Ebuyer Technical Support

**Q: Does anyone know why ds2415+ support shr but the more expensive unit ds3617xs does not? nearly bought the ds3617xs..........**
A: DS 2415 is a older model came out in 2015.  Both models are pushing to corporation uses, where i guess that RAID 5 is preferred.  I suggest you sent Synology an email to ask them why but most important if their DSM storage manager can easily novice to setup raid 5.  I suspect it makes no difference, their software is pretty robust and easy to use where 5 or shr is selected no difference to the storage manager.

**Q: Can it be put in 2+2+2? i.e. first 2 drives raid, then 2nd 2 drives raid, etc.? and can i have each set of 2 drives with diff sizes? 2 10tb, 2 6tb?**
A: Yes

**Q: Do all the hard drives have to be the same size?   can i use hard drives of different sizes, i have 8 3 tb hard drives, a couple of 6 tb drives and a**
A: Yes no problem at all, you can also mix HDD and SSD-it's a wonderful bit of kit. I would recommend a gradual shift to WD Red or equivalent in order to reduce the risk of drive failure if you don't have already. (I had a Drobo with WD Green that I lost 3 drives on in the course of a couple of years-no data loss though.)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great NAS box
*by M***. on 11 October 2015*

What a great drive. Easy to set up and it just works. Lots of flexibility even on fan speed and hibernation. Only slight crit is that all the usb connections are on the back so unless you want to move the unit connection of USBs is by feel I would recommend to all. Especially good for serving media to Kodie or the like Mike
