Synology DiskStation 8-Bay (Diskless) Network Attached Storage - Black (DS1812+) Reviews
| 35 of 36 people found the following review helpful  Rock solid NAS with great GUI, dual disk failure, 802.3ad, and expansion options, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Synology DiskStation 8-Bay (Diskless) Network Attached Storage - Black (DS1812+) (Personal Computers) I still think the Synology is pretty amazing, but I've discovered some limitations.First, Plex doesn't work very well beyond a few hundred movies or a few tv seasons. My guess? It all comes down to the limitation of the computer on the Synology itself. As great as it is, at the end of the day, it's a computer, it's a motherboard, it's chip, it's ram. And my guess is that it runs into the same limitations that running server software on a general purpose computer run into. When there's too much load, it slows down, hangs in weird ways, etc. File copying (writing to the Synology) was also a discovery. When copying, up to about 50GB of data, it's pretty fast and consistently so. But when doing a single copy that exceeds 50 GB or thereabouts, it slows down right around the 50GB mark. Considerably. So fast until then, and suddenly, it's painful to watch... Stare at it long enough and you see bursts of speed of about 10GB or so, but then it slows...

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...

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 failed to boot 99% of the time. We think it was a power supply issue, so I guess that was just bad luck. The third unit (2nd RMA) turned out to be rock solid and stable.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... Read more |
