We often read about NAS devices that cost several hundreds of dollars. Let’s face the fact; most of us can’t afford that. So where does this leave us? Let’s introduce the Synology DS210j, a crossover breed that brings power and performance without the high price tag.

Synology has been in the network attached storage business for nearly a decade and they are often regarded as one of the best at what they do. Don’t let the simple look of the DS209 fool you, this baby packs a very powerful punch. She doesn’t have all the bells and whistles for the more expensive models but what she does, she does very well.
