Review: Excellent NAS drive, good performance, large app library - I needed to replace my aging WD NAS, which was struggling to keep up with my needs. After quite a bit of research and product comparisons, I decided to go with the market leader, and bought a NAS that seemed likely to be able to support my needs for several years, and offered some options for expanding the ways I use a NAS. For context, I mainly use my NAS as "network-attached storage": I back up files, and I share files for use on our multiple home computers. I don't use it for remote access (security concern: I'd rather use cloud storage services for that), and I don't use it as a repository for a media server, or anything else like that. I decided to use WD "Red" drives for this unit: based on specs and user and professional reviews, they seemed most likely to run reliably for as long as I needed. My previous experience with WD black, blue, and red drives has been consistently positive, whereas other vendors have let me down. Installation and setup was very easy: I had the unit up and running within a few minutes. Copying files over from my old NAS took some time, but the performance of this Synology unit exceeded my expectations. I was also pleased with how much faster my backup jobs were. I was especially pleased when apps that use network files began running much faster: so clearly both read and write performance were much improved in comparion with the old system. I also set up a USB backup. It took a little bit of reading in the Synology KB to learn how to do it right, but after that it was a breeze. I plugged in a USB hard drive in the back port (the front port can be configured for use with the USB Copy button), opened up the Hyper Backup app, and ran the initial backup to copy the entire NAS contents to the USB drive. Then I scheduled it to run incremental jobs every day, so now my paranoid backup demon is happy. (I save backup drives in a secure location to provide "disaster recovery"; overkill perhaps, but it buys peace of mind.) One criticism: the unit came with only 2GB memory, which seems cheesy. And what makes is super-cheesy is the way they price their branded "compatible memory" at ridiculous multiples of the market price. I was able to buy a 4GB Samsung memory card for under $15, and it worked just fine. You can do a web search and see that others have upgraded using larger memory cards. The Synology KB website is very good: it's well written and comprehensive. There's also an active user community, so there is a ton of information easily available. Overall I'm very happy with my Synology purchase, and would buy their NAS products again without hesitation.
Review: New horse with some new tricks ! - First of all, let me start by saying, a RAID is NOT a backup in itself, as RAIDs can also fail, corrupting some or all of the data. This can happen at anytime, in year 10 or year 1 and depend on the hardware, which are a combination of the RAID device (NAS, DAS, etc...), de storage medium (Hard Drive, SSD, etc...), power supply, etc.... However the chances of that happening all at once are less than having no RAID at all. My advice, if you are able, is to constantly replace the olders/smallest drive in your (RAID) array with a newer one. Similarly to changing (pairs of) your road tires on your vehicle, before even 1 shows signs of failure or fails at all. Drives in these devices can get into a sleep mode, but are otherwise constantly on and or running/spinning and thus wearing out. Above is basic knowledge for storage and not just Synology. While there are drives and devices (and cars) that can reach a 20year lifetime, certainly not all can or will. There is a "3-2-1 Rule" for data storage/backup out there, which is: - There should be 3 copies of data - On 2 different media - With 1 copy being off-site (aka at different location) As for the purchase of this device, Synology DS 723+, I'm very satisfied with the performance and features. The price reflects that also, even for home use. My previous NAS/RAID devices are a Buffalo Linkstation (2 drive) and a Drobo 5N (5 drive), both are around 10 years old and an 8 drive Drobo at work, still in use. The 5 bay Drobo for it's time had a nice feature of being able to use all (or most of) the usable space when using drives of different sizes, and also being able to swap out any drive out for any other drive (smaller or larger) and the Drobo device would take care of it ALL (called BeyondRaid). No messing with pools or volumes. You only have to make a folder share. For it's time, this was VERY sophisticated and worth the investment then. Even today with Synology you have to specify manually if and how you want to add a drive to a storage pool, and how you want a volume on one of these pools, and then define your shares. For the home user, you'll need some basic knowledge or just read the manual of course if you have not done this ever before. It's just not as straight forward as with a Drobo. However this is not a bad thing in itself, as you may want to configure this Synology device for different uses and keep multiple volumes on different storage pools for different uses etc... I consider this a Pro, but it will require some more knowledge of the workings of this device. It has many other features and plugins (apps) which I will not go into in this review, but again there is a use for each and every one of them for a specific use(r), depending on your needs. Synology now also has a RAID mode capable of using drives of different sizes, they call it SHR (Synology Hybrid Raid) and works similar to Drobo BeyondRAID. Hardware wise, it has 2x Gigabit ports, which can be used individually, as a fallback or bonded. Some other brands have 10Gigabit networking built in, with this particular Synology it is an optional plug-in upgrade at $110 at the time of writing this. I don't have a 10Gigabit network at home at this time, but I will be upgrading down the road, I think. There are also 2 NVME slots which you can utilize for cache (and storage) and you can also upgrade the RAM (memory) if you plan on using more apps (plugins). For basic nas use, this is not required. 1 con for me is the flimsy plastic of the device and the trays. It might be fine for you, and even if made from titanium would not affect the performance of this device at all. However coming from Buffalo (Metal + plastic) and Drobo (full metal), this is a step down. This is also true with the very flimsy plastic disk trays and clips.......... (Drobo uses a trayless design, you just pop in the drives like a VHS cassette in a VCR !). Other bonus features new to me also are the web interface, which is quite snappy. There are also apps/plugins for remote login etc, you can enable this if you want it. I'm still figuring out many of these. All in all I'm satisfied with my purchase so far and will update this review down the road. Purchased in october of 2023.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How secure is this against malicious attacks? Does it have a firewall and anti-virus software?**
A: The DSM software come with a number of features to prevent malicious attacks.  One of my units was hit with a ransomware attack.  Nothing import on the unit as it was used for security camera video storage.  I believe I was hit with what is called man in the middle hack.  My credentials were taken when I periodically logged in to view the camera images.  I was not taking the security seriously.  Now I have turned on HTTPS and 2FA (two factor authentication).  Point is that the features are there to secure you NAS but you have to make use of them.  Hope this helps.

**Q: Can i put an 8tb m.2 in the m.2 slot**
A: No.  The M.2 is for cache only and limited to 2GB each NVMe.  WARNING-  it is very picky for NVMe's.  I tried it with WD and Samsung and they burned out within 6 months.  Synology sells NVMe's that they make and I would recommend.  I don't like being stuck to the MFG drives, but they work.  Just based on personal experience.  Synology 920+ (8GB Ram, 4 x 16tb Seagate Exos X16)

**Q: how much storage space come with this device?**
A: None.  You need to buy hard drives

**Q: would this unit support a NVME cache module?**
A: Yes the Synology DS1522+ supports 2 of the NVMe M.2's in mirror (RAID1) for write-back cache, or just 1 of them for read-only cache. (You cannot force it to use 1 of them for read-write). Starting with the year 2022 models, as of date of this review October 2022, Synology no longer lists as compatible any drive except their own brand (vendor-lock). However, if you look at the prior version of this unit Synology 1520+, you'll see other options that DO work like certain Seagate m.2 Ironwolf (but not all of them)..  

Unfortunately, the Synology DSM 7.1 in these newer 2022 models will currently show a warning anything except their own brand of drives may not support all features and compatibility is not guaranteed either. Customers are not happy about this vendor-lock situation, hopefully Synology will cave in and certify other drives in the future.
