Synology DiskStation DS223J Network Attached Storage Drive (White)

I've had no problems with the NAS. I've spent quite some time exploring it's functions as the os has so many! Synology also has great apps so you can acces it from your phone, sync to devices and other cloud storage or watch your movies on the streaming app. Will definitely be looking at Synology again when I need an upgrade.

My first NAS so still learning but it looks like it will suit my home use purpose.

Compared to my old NAS this is packed with ton of features.

Devise is a little cheap - plastic everywhere. But works great

Unfortunately for iPhone, it is not usable. Their Synology Drive app creates a folder in your Files app so you can copy anything you may need from your phone to your NAS, but unfortunately, this function doesn’t work, as once you copy the folder with multiple files, it will copy the file structure and names, but not the files themselves. Some files are getting copied, but others are not. 9 out of 13 folders are getting copied, for example. Files Inside folders, 3 out of 9 videos may be copied, but that’s completely unreliable. It doesn’t work like a plug and play usb-c hdd. The only thing you can do is manually copy individual files in their own app, not through iPhones files. The app doesn’t allow copying folders or multiple files. I have tried zipping the folder, but it doesn’t upload either, not through files not through the app. Only uploading individual files one by one works, but imagine having 300gb of data you want to transfer to this thing, it’s an absolutely impossible task which defeats the whole purpose.

good for normal and basic backup, little bit slow copying 1gb file takes 2-3 minutes
