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

Solid construction, speeds 75MB/Sec+ and I actually love the way it looks. The con for some is that it is twice as loud as the DS411+ or DS409, but not a problem if you have it in a dedicated server area. I wish it had multiple eSata ports (vs 4 USB) so I could expand and have a cheaper attached back-up raid. I upgraded 409->411+ a while ago and the configuration back-up works well and migrated to the same RAID is a breeze. Problem is the configuration backup doesn't work for your surveillance station camera settings and expansion license keys. This is twice it has failed to work and I have to go through and manually add my IP cameras. I have the 409 set-up for back-up so it wasn't hard to sign-on and get my license key

The upgrade to the DS1812+ is taking a lot more time than I had hoped and would like to use the remainder of my review to comment on this.

This is to warn people that plan to upgrade from a Raid 5 to SHR multiple drive!

I upgraded... Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic when it works, but 2/2 units do not, support experience, April 26, 2012

This review is from: Synology DiskStation 8-Bay (Diskless) Network Attached Storage - Black (DS1812+) (Personal Computers)
I really wanted to leave a glowing review regarding the quality of the hardware and the industry leading software. Unfortunately, I have had two units fail on me. The first experienced the blue LED issue, more on that below. The second unit was RMA'd to me by Synology, and that one restarts on its own and fails to boot 99% of the time. If I get lucky and it does fully boot, it restarts within 5 minutes.

The first batch of units produced were highly susceptible to a common issue. Synology eventually acknowledged the issue and stated it was due to flawed flash memory chips. They assured their customers the problem was contained, and that no future shipments would be affected. I had one of the original units that were affected, and I requested an RMA. Eight days after I reported the issue, they shipped me a new unit. I received that unit exactly a week later.

To their credit, the migration of my old drives was fairly straight-forward. There was no data loss, and I... Read more
