[/vc_column_text]
The DS212j is yet another well-rounded, capable and easy to use NAS device from Synology. Compared to the previous version, it may have slightly slower small files performance and we missed the front USB port, but the faster large file transfer speeds and quieter fan help to balance this out. It’s a Best Buy NAS.
