Synology DiskStation DS211 Review
The Synology DiskStation DS211 isn’t the company’s first NAS to cross the SlashGear test bench, but it’s perhaps the most home-user focused model so far. A two-bay network-attached backup box, the DS211 also throws in DLNA media streaming duties and cross-platform compatibility. With a diskless retail price of around $320, is this the box you should be entrusting your data security to? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.
Synology DiskStation DS411+ NAS Review
Synology promised us speed, speed and more speed with their new DiskStation DS411+ NAS, and so we had to take them up on the challenge.

Can Synology back up their claims? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.
