"It is easy to see why so many are getting excited about the new Synology DS716+, as there is a lot to be excited about. [...] We feel the Synology DS716+ is one of the best high-end 2-bay NAS models you can buy right now. Support or BTRFS makes the DS716+ a serious contender."

"…the RT1900ac offers features and a level of depth you won't find elsewhere. Its SRM interface often makes managing and monitoring your network easier than on basically any other router we've tested."

"Synology has delivered a faultless first offering, combining solid networking performance with what is arguably already the best software control centre available anywhere."

"The Synology DS216play is a great NAS device to have if you happen to be a media junkie who owns and records a lot of videos in 1080p and 4K. The software that the DS216play comes with is also very intuitive and easy to use, which is perfect for both home and small office users alike."

"Synology – a company founded by two former Microsoft employees – began as a storage solution provider and grew to include surveillance in its product offerings. While many security companies in Taiwan are voicing their concerns over falling sales, Synology is seeing its products grabbing shares in the security market and the sales figures are continuing to grow"

"..... if 4K on-the-fly transcoding is going to be useful to you, then the DS216play is a great choice."

"It offers solid performance and it’s killer feature is the slick and attractive interface with expandable apps"

"This NAS is perfect for SMEs who want to start the path to network-based backup and storage. It is perfect for home users as well, as it is easy to use."

“...it's one of the quickest NAS drives you can buy, particularly when backing up large numbers of small files. There's also a huge range of extra applications you can install to extend the functionality, and a good selection of professional features built in.”

"Synology seems to have a knack for getting the best out of the installed hard drives."

"The Synology DiskStation DS715 is a great little NAS and comes highly recommended."

Synology took us by surprise with the router RT1900ac, a product with very advanced operating system yet easy to use called SRM

"Opting for the Alpine AL-314 SoC in replacement of the more common Intel or Marvell chips is a bold move by Synology that seems to be paying off. The Alpine AL-514 in the DS2015xs proved to be one of the best SoCs for the job and the DS1515's AL-314 delivered the same amazing performance."

"Small physical footprint, purpose-built hardware, excellent software with extended functionality, regular updates, active 3rd party application marketplace, and extensive company support. That's worth the price of entry. In fact, I'm kind of annoyed at myself that I persevered with the FreeNAS route for so long and didn't look into Synology NAS's sooner."

"....the RC18015xs+ delivers an impressive range of storage features you won’t find elsewhere. Support for BTRFS volumes also provides valuable unlimited snapshots, it delivers good performance and expansion potential is huge."

"Best for ... Those with a vast library of files. The additional features cater more towards the small business or ultra-knowledgeable home user."

"....DS2015xs scores highly for value as it delivers dual 10GbE SFP+ ports at a price competing vendors can’t even come close to."

Synology RackStation RS3614RPxs won the "NVR Excellence Award" at Secutech 2015.

It is one of the most complete and expandible NAS for the small realities

"The DS214 Play is a speedy and versatile addition to the Synology family. The support for transcoding video, made possible through the much more powerful hardware than the DS214, means that 1080p HD video can be streamed to almost any device imaginable even if that device does not support the original code"

"A great starter media NAS for the home, and thanks to DSM, it is easily configured too."

"I have experimented a lot in the past with making our media easy to access for the family, but as soon as something doesn’t work as expected, they think it doesn’t work at all. They don’t want to have to mess around with settings themselves. The DS415play isn’t like that. My family loves it, it’s easy for them to use and I haven’t heard a single complaint about it yet!"

"The out of the box 10GbE network support means that few sub $1500 NAS devices can hang with the DS2015xs, and bandwidth hungry single clients can enjoy speeds of well over 400MB/s up and down."

"If you have a large photo library scattered across multiple hard drives and computers, the Synology DS1515+ can definitely help you to make sense of your collection - highly recommended."

This NAS should be definitely be considered by the media hungry user – it's relatively well priced, has enormous storage and requires very little setup.

Størrelsen og stilen til Synology DiskStation DS414slim gjør den utvilsomt til den søteste NAS-en vi har vært borti. "The size and style of Synology DiskStation DS414slim makes it undoubtedly the cutest NAS we've ever come across."

This is an amazing device designed for home users, but with features like those found in business devices. It’s cheap to run as it barely draws any power and it comes with a very modest price tag as well.

The Synology DS1515+ is stable, very, very stable and consistent. Compared to the previous DS1513+, it boosts the speed both in read and write. The data transfer speed intervals are more gradual, with less differentiation in min/max spikes. Literally, this black box will push your network cables/switches to their limit.
