This review is from: Synology DiskStation 8-Bay (Diskless) Network Attached Storage - Black (DS1812+) (Personal Computers)
I've been reading some negative reviews about the Synology, and while I have been really lucky, I can imagine that many setup types might not be ideally suited to the synology design.

If you've read some reviews, and are interested in the link aggregation piece but nervous because of the bad reviews, here's what went through:

Initially, i tried plugging both ethernet ports and connecting the two cables to an unmanaged switch. This caused me some issues, and then i realized there is a port bonding that needs to occur. I did that thru the synology interface, but it didn't bond proerly. I then just un-plugged one of the cables and everything worked great.

As i wanted the 802.3ad feature to work, i then purchased a cisco gbit managed switch with 802.3ad. Plugged everything in, and still couldn't get it to work right, until i realized u have to bond the ports on BOTH the switch and the synology. Now, everything works. Bonding is pretty easy, just a...

5.0 out of 5 stars Synology DS1812+ "NEW BOSS IN TOWN", March 8, 2012
This review is from: Synology DiskStation 8-Bay (Diskless) Network Attached Storage - Black (DS1812+) (Personal Computers)
Best NAS I ever had my hands on. I am replacing my HTPC with this NAS to save some energy (400 WATT HTPC against 50 WATT NAS) and my first try was NetGear ReadyNAS and even it was a great unit, it destroyed my data volume when powering the ReadyNAS off. This was because I used new, just released 4TB Hitachi drives and the netgear ReadyNAS 5 HDD unit had problems with it (firmware bug). Than I tried Drobo NAS and it worked right out of the box but I was missing all the features the Netgear ReadyNAS has to offer and in addition the Gigabit Ethernet (DROBO E)was super slow (20 MB/sec max) what made it impossible to stream Blue-Ray files.
Finally I found my little superstar! The Synology DS1812+ is incredible. It is fast, feature rich and rock solid.
I have now 6 x 4TB Hitachi drives in it and keep expanding. I highly recommend this unit and advise to stay away from the mid-level products if you planning to really use your NAS. You get what you pay for. I am a big happy customer... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars The Swiss Army Knife of the NAS World, July 12, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Synology DiskStation 8-Bay (Diskless) Network Attached Storage - Black (DS1812+) (Personal Computers)
What can I say? My expectations were more than met with the Synology DS1812+. This is an amazing piece of hardware. It's small, sleek, quiet, well-built, capable, and loaded with more functionality than I could ever dream of using.

I bought mine from Amazon along with an extra 2GB stick of RAM (Kingston ValueRAM 2GB 1066MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL7 SODIMM Single Rank x8 Notebook Memory) and four Seagate 3TB Barracuda hard drives (Seagate Barracuda 7200 3 TB 7200RPM SATA 6 Gb/s NCQ 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive ST3000DM001). Everything came packaged very well.

Physical setup of the unit was a breeze for the most part. Installing the extra memory was as simple as removing six screws, a cover, and popping the stick into an easily-accessible memory slot. That took all of five minutes. Installing the hard drives was also simple. You simply slide a hard drive into one of the eight provided drive cages, screw it in with four manufacturer-provided screws, and... Read more
