Plenty of options exist these days for sharing media on a home or business network; from routers with USB-drive support to dedicated NAS-servers. When looking to purchase one of these models you generally don’t know where to look and once you actually do end up buying one, most are difficult or clunky to setup. Synology is a developer of friendly and easy to use NAS-servers ranging from models supporting 10-disk RAID arrays to small single-drive home servers. In this review we look at the Synology DiskStation DS410j, which is a 4-bay home and small business NAS-unit with a wide range of options running on latest DiskStation Manager (DSM) software.

For all those home users with their network running of of a 100MB WIFI/broadband router/switch the Synology DiskStation DS410j is a great solution. I like the setup simplicity compared to Windows Home Server. Since the boot partition is RAID1 using all drives, recovery is a much milder headache when a drive (inevitably) dies!

We mentioned it in the review, but the system partition is a really nice - makes it so easy to come back from a failure as you say. I haven't played with the new WHS build yet, not sure if they "fixed" that this time around.
