Synology DiskStation DS214se Review

The DiskStation DS214se is Synology’s economical two-bay NAS with the capability to host, share, and protect data and is optimized to be an personal NAS server running the ever incomparable DiskStation Manager (DSM). The DS214se is quoted to deliver an average write speeds under RAID 1 configuration in a Windows environment of 102MB/s read and 58MB/s write. Synology says the “se” stands for “single-role edition,” which generally means it’s targeted to single-user environments. Synology is quick to mention though that just because it’s low-cost, doesn’t mean it’s short on any of the core Synology features.

The Synology DiskStation DSDS214se has a street price of $159.00 bare, with a two-year limited warranty.
