We weren't expecting Synology to rewrite the design rulebook with the DS214se, but the fact that its NAS hardware has remained practically unchanged for years is still a bit disappointing.The DS214se is visually identical to the DS213j . The chassis is ex...

Synology DS214se and DSM 5.0 verdict Open Gallery The DS214se is basically the cheaper, ‘lite' version of Synology's DS213j , and while it's far from spectacular in terms of hardware, its price will make it very attractive to the NAS noob. And s... |

Apart from writing large files, the DS214SE is a speedy NAS box indeed, no doubt helped by a tweaked operating system, which also adds to the appeal. It's one of the easiest we've come across to use and apart from a little knowledge of port forwarding... |

Synology clearly thinks very carefully about the processing power it specifies for each NAS. If money is no object there is no question you want a fast dual core processor and no doubt a quad core would be even better. It's just like your mobile phone exc... |

Synology has lots of choice in their product line-up, but their impressive NAS devices tend to have one common quality: they're very expensive. You do get a lot back for your money. Synology has tons of features and even more apps you can download to ma...
The most affordable Synology NAS device until now was the DS213j, available for around £170. The DS214se costs £40 less which makes it an interesting way to get a taste of the world of Synology. The Synology DS214se has a very basic enclosure, but it's... |

The need for a place to put your digital stuff is always going to be. There really is just no getting around it. The question is, do you want to trust your files to the cloud, or do you want to keep them in your possession? For some the cloud looks like a...
