Description of DS420 Synology 4Bay NAS
W125782300.
Pros
- In fact, a reliable friend and data protector. If you want privacy, organize your own cloud and you can no longer leave personal data on a network like Google Cloud or Drive. Ease of use. It was important for me to have access to the necessary files from anywhere in the world, if I'm not at home, as well as to save them to myself when I'm away. Toy for adults. I have been using it for more than a year and I am still discovering new features and at the same time learning the basics of online security. The machine will teach you basic knowledge of protocols, building a network, setting up a router, protecting against attacks and vpn. Used for a home media server, backups, file sharing, cloud, personal (!) vpn node, library, surveillance cameras, personal mail server, virtual machine, and so on. About the plastic case, about which they wrote in neighboring models - I don’t know why people need to make the already difficult cube heavier with excess metal. He has a metal skeleton (disassembled to clean the valves) and he does not suffer from fragility.
Cons
- The machine, of course, works from the socket, but. For correct stable operation, you will have to drink a hundred liters of tea or smoke a block of cigarettes if you are not well-versed in the IT field. Personally, I am not a techie (medicine), although I like to pull up knowledge from different areas. One more thing - you need to be prepared for the fact that in the middle of the night (if all strategic ports are not blocked) they will knock on you. And they will knock persistently, for a night of requests 250-400 ran. There is no firewall in NAS. It is sad. Yes, and the firewall is lame on both legs. I had to put a more modern and secure router in front of it.
