I was thinking about to buy a NAS for long time. Finally I ordered one from Amazon.in.
I was planning to purchase the NAS for data backup mainly. After long consideration, DS220+ is my final choice.
Before purchasing, I also compared lots of brands such as WD, QNAP...etc, but Synology's software is the main reason for me to purchase.
It is quite surprising that Synology is providing so many applications within their operation system, and most of them are totally free of cost. If you have some experience of using some of the applications, please recommend me what I can also try in the future.
What else makes me also satisfy is that it is very easy and convenience to connect the NAS no matter where I am. Synology is having a features call Quickconnect. I can create a customized address such as "quickconnect.to/@@##$$%", then I only need to type the address in the web browser like Chrome or Firefox, then I am able to log in the NAS as long as there is Internet connected.
The applications which is mostly used by me are "Synology Drive" and "Active Backup for Business"
Synology Drive is quite like creating my only Google Drive at home, so I can easily access and share the file with others. They even have a mobile app, so I can get my file on my phone as well.
Active backup for Business is for my computers backup. This application can have bare-metal backup for multiple devices. I conducted the backup task with my desktop at home and a laptop with me. It claims that it can also have the backup for virtual machine, but I've never try it. However it's quite cool that this app is free, some backup software is quite costly out there in the market...
For the time being, I am feeling good with the NAS. Overall, I will recommend this device.
Wondering if anyone who also purchased Synology NAS can share with me what else applications is interested and worth for a try.
