Why consider this model?

  • A compact two-bay starting point for shared files and a planned two-drive SHR-1 or RAID 1 setup when low memory, one gigabit network port and a separate 2.5-inch-drive holder (if needed) fit the budget and workflow.

Tradeoffs to weigh

  • Its 1 GB of non-ECC memory, single 1GbE port and entry-level configuration impose a tighter ceiling than the DS223's 2 GB memory and DS224+'s Intel processor. Synology calls for an optional Type C disk holder for 2.5-inch SATA drives; the listed package does not include drives.
