= DiskStation =

The DiskStation line of NAS device from Synology. The first NAS was launched in 2008.It competes with the My Cloud line from Western Digital and QNAPs NASs. They run the propriety DiskStation Manger (DSM) operating system that is managed through a web interface. It can be extended with addons, virtual machines and Docker containers.

DiskStation DS413j
Released in 2010. This NAS featured four disks. It had a white plastic and aluminium case that some reviewers considered to be old fashioned. The front panel featured a central power button along with disk, network and status LEDs. It also lacked front ports. To set up the DS413j, Synology Assistant must be installed on another computer. The operating system is installed to the same drives as the data. Cooling is provided by two 80mm fans at the back of the case and ventilation slots.

TechSpot felt it underperformed for the price and recommended the more expensive DS409. TrustedReviews however thought it was feature packed and “performed admirably”.
