A NAS would be great. Backing up the family photos to floppies is getting tiresome.

A badge would also be great.

Impressive videos. Very excited about the new router, some great features. Don't have a NAS but I wish I had one when my phone recently ran out of storage because of videos and pictures. 

shinny badges are nice

I've had a few Synology NASs and love them. Hopefully will get to win another :) 

Your reply should have your impressions about the new products or services announced, share interesting stories if you are already a Synology user or even something that happened and you wished you had a NAS.

I feel underwhelmed. Actually, when it comes to a NAS product, that's exactly how I want to feel, but for entirely different reasons. I take the view that hardware should be dedicated to purpose, and all-in-one solutions don't suit my use case (I also don't bundle utilities FWIW). Synology ticks the boxes for being easy to use (QNAP... awful), but I'd prefer something that just functioned as a NAS without all the extras, and which wasn't significantly over-powered for the purpose. My old 8-bay/4-bay Synology boxes are plenty fast enough for what I use it for... SMB and iSCSI, although they barely have enough RAM free for running rclone with a large cache. I'm hitting network limits, not CPU performance limits, which is exactly what I want from a NAS.

Had a few Synologys in the past, if I won this one id repurpose my old one to a proper offsite backup. And it could probably do everything my current z440 (running windows server) is doing

I'm a fan of Synology devices because I don't want to have to worry about maintaining them.

DSM is nice and stable and rarely requires my attention.

New router looks nice. Looking forward to SRM 1.3 and setting up some VLANs. A NAS would also be nice to have. 😀

I never really looked into how much in the way of applications are available from Synology. I guess I previously just thought it was a backup for some data but it is capable of so much more to interact with data I didn't think of integrating.

@zocster @mrphil and everyone else, remember you have to complete steps 1, 2 and 3 - just replying here will put you in the draw for the tumblers/caps only.

 

Yip just done now. Busy day yesterday.

I would really like to update my aging DS413j NAS that I use for macOS TimeMachine backups and Docker.

 

But that said, I cannot afford a new one, so will settle for a Hat or Tumbler :D

 

Same here, but with a pretty old DS411j :)
