Synology DiskStation DS1511+ price range: $659.99
- Reviewed by: Dong Ngo
- Reviewed on: 01/21/2011
The good: The Synology DiskStation DS1511+ offers fast throughput speed, excellent hard-drive bay design, top storage capacity, an overwhelming number of features, dual Gigabit Ethernet, multiple peripheral ports, and a state-of-the-art Web interface. The server handles both standard RAID configurations and flexible Hybrid RAID, and supports up to 20 IP cameras.
The bad: The Synology DiskStation DS1511+ doesn't support USB 3.0 and its setup application is not straightforward enough. It includes only one IP camera license and is comparatively pricey.
The bottom line: The DiskStation DS1511+ is arguably the best five-bay NAS server on the market for both home and office environments. Novice and home users, however, might be intimidated by its setup software and the number of features it has to offer.

Best solution of its kind on the market.
by chris_hdez on August 27, 2011
Pros: Easy setup. HD streams smoothly. Runs cool and quiet with WD-AVGP drives (WD30EURS).
Cons: Plastic trays and slots, so don't play with it too much. Only USB 2.0 and not 3.0. No thunderbolt.
Summary: 3x3TB RAID-5 takes 10 hours to create. FYI

Summary: As a media and SOHO web server you can't do better (at this time). As with many network products, installation can be time consuming. Best to get the media server up and running first. Then work on all the other "apps" as a part time hobby!
