Synology DS415play review

 

Network attached storage is as useful ever - and in the DS415play's case better than ever, too

Don't let the name fool you - this NAS device takes "play" very seriously

Good performance.

High price.

The ultimate 4-bay NAS for serving HD movies to your mobile device but you will pay a very high price for the privilege of owning the latest model from Synology.
