The Synology website has a clean look and is incredibly simple to browse. It drives me insane when companies can’t put together a decent website but expect their customers to spend hundreds of dollars on their products. Thank you Synology for making it easier for potential customers to find products that they are interested in. Here’s an overview of the DS209 as seen on Synology’s website

Effortless File Sharing & Backup
Synology Disk Station is designed for data storage and sharing among Windows, Mac, and Linux. Seamless file sharing across different operation systems is an effortless process.
Synology File Station 2 offers an innovative user interface with drag-n-drop and right-click capability allowing users not familiar with FTP to easily access files with a web browser.
Synology Data Replicator 3 allows Windows users to back up desktop data to the Synology Disk Station. Immediate, Sync, and Scheduled Backup are fully-supported.
Synology Local Backup helps to safeguard data by backing up to external hard drives via USB interface with flexible scheduling options.

Office Applications
Synology Mail Station add-on provides a one step installation and enables Synology Disk Station to be a mail server that supports Outlook-like Web mail, SMTP, POP3, and IMAP.
Synology Web Station with Virtual Host option allows users to host up to 30 websites on one single Synology Disk Station. The built-in PHP+MySQL provides the ability to create interactive websites without complicated settings.
Synology Disk Station supports two USB printers simultaneously, and the Add Printer Wizard simplifies setup process with a wizard.

3rd-Pary Application Integration
Following “Synology Disk Station 3rd-Party Apps Integration Guide” on Synology website, users can customize their Synology Disk Station by installing their favorite applications.

Eco Friendly
Synology Disk Station is designed and developed perpetually with the concept of energy saving. Compared with its average PC counterparts, Synology Disk Station consumes a relatively low amount of power and hibernates when not in use. This not only helps to save energy but also extends the lifespan of the hard disk.
Synology Disk Station truly earns the title of “green product” because of the unique Scheduled Power On/Off feature, and the smart fan design effectively cools down the system with minimum power consumption, yet keeps the system quiet on operation.
Finally, all Synology products are produced with RoHS compliant parts and packed with recyclable packing materials. Synology recognizes its responsibility as a global citizen and is continually working to reduce the environmental impact of the products we create.

Synology doesn’t bother boasting what make the CPU processor is. We see that it has a clock speed of 1.2GHz. We’ll later find out that it’s a Marvell make.
