Synology DS414 4-bay NAS Review

news · October 30, 2013

Following on from my recent review of Synology's DS213j 2-bay system,

I've been invited to take a look at a system that is more geared for

the SOHO (small office home office_ market. This is the DS414 and for

those who understand the naming system that Synology have adopted, it

is possible to recognise that this is the newer version of the DS413.

Up to this point, there has not been much information to be found in

the open about this system, but to give a quick run down in comparison

to the DS413 the identical looking DS414 offers up a better CPU,

better RAID controller and at a price that is more competitive. There

have been rumours circulating that this system will be home to a CPU

capable of transcoding media on the fly, but I can confirm this is not

the case. Thankfully there is a separate system that is launching very

soon which does have this capability and a review for this will appear

in due course.
