The SMB (Small to Medium Businesses) NAS market is a highly competitive one. A lot of things have changed since the last time we covered this market in a roundup. With storage becoming cheaper by the day, and HD videos (both user generated and commercial content) becoming more and more popular, it is difficult to find a SMB NAS which doesn't cater to the home consumer also. In 2006 (when we did our SMB NAS roundup), Synology was not one of the major players. In the last 4 years, though, they have taken giant strides and earned many plaudits.
We have had the latest 2 bay model from Synology, the DS-211+, in our labs since CES. Read on to find out how it fares in our benchmarks and see if it is a good fit for your usage scenario.
