Review on Synology Bay DiskStation DS220 Diskless by Janis Kronbergs ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I can't stop being happy with the purchase, a very good deal!

I put 2 WD RED 3Tb in it, I'm happy with everything. There are several applications on the phone, I chose the one that works as a file manager, without synchronization in the background. Reviews on the playmarket for applications are not very good, but I have no complaints. Pros below: Installation in 10 minutes. Keeps photos, distributes films. There is a docker to put everything you want (I put a video transcoder, but it's of little use, it doesn't work very fast). There is external access (I don’t know how safe it is, but sometimes it helps). Didn't really use any other features. The web interface is nice, I have no complaints about it. Has cons: The way the DLNA server works is weird, some videos don't support rewind. But this is a property of third-party software rather than this device. It manages with the fact that from any android device through the VLC player you can see everything via smb without problems. Nevertheless, for a 5-year-old TV, I had to buy a set-top box, there is no other way. Mysterious for me is the mode of going to sleep and waking up. Sometimes he sleeps in the middle of the day, sometimes for some reason he works in the middle of the night. I know that you can set it up, but it makes me wonder why he wakes up there at night.
