Added on June 3, 2011, 10:46 amwhen u buy a synology NAS , actually form 100% of $$$ u paid , 20% is for the hardware and 80% is for the software ( the current + future firmware upgrade)


up-to-date: synology still release for their NAS which they release on year 2007, for example:

DS107e ( year 2007 product.
Version: DSM 3.1-1613; Build Date: 2011/04/11 ( latest firmware)


synology will release 2 major firmware upgrade on March & sept every year.

so if you buy today than you can ensure u will get the new firmware + new feature ( without paying any $$$) for the next 3 to 4 years.


in your case, Dnas vs SyNAS.

Synology is better in feature ( + future firmware upg) + more compatible with others device ( like DLNA, video/audio stream, iphone/android phone support + mobile access /webdav + more)

Dnas will more focus on price, than you can forget the future upg.


one more good point you can consider is Synology NAS have 2nd hand value than Dnas.


like DS110j @ RM 599, 2nd hand also can sell RM 299 and yet still people buying, why? because it can install with the latest firmware.

Have opted for the D-Link DNS-320 paired with a Samsung F3 1TB. Hopefully it'll serve as a good basic NAS with NFS function. Just need a network storage. My reason for this choice is also a tight budget, need to spend on something else as well so I didn't pick the Synology.

Bought the DNS-320 for RM279.

understand...

agreed.

10/100 switch - theoretically max speed is 12.5MB/s but normally will be vary from 5 to 9MB/s ( this speed will lower if you using Wireless)


10/100/1000 switch - theoretically max speed is 125MB/s but normally will be vary from 60 to 95MB/s ( this speed will lower if you using Wireless) ( around 100GB ~140GB per hours when you transfer form PC to NAS with gigabit LAN)

just change one by one, the switch change to Gigabit first ( 8 port should be RM 1xx) or wireless N+ router ( but if you NB wireless device is g than the speed still stay at g).

yes.... so.. need to be step by step.. which device need fast speed ( the one usually use to transfer data from / to NAS).. others like play media should be ok for you to use now...

with 10/100 switch, u should able to get around 6 ~9MB/s

u can log into the synology admin page and check the resource monitor and check the CPU/RAM/ network usage.

as well as check the HDD status.

BTW, how long did u use this DS211j?

few Q:

1) 10/100 LAN or wireless?
2) did u turn on CIFS performace ( go to synology admin page=> control panel -> win/Mac/NFS section ->tick the Optimize CIFS database operation)?
3) use Fix IP or DHCP for this NAS?
4) go to Storage manager -> HDD management - check did u tick the "Write cache support"
5) upgrade to latest firmware :Version: DSM 3.1-1742; Build Date: 2011/06/08
