Looking for a single-drive NAS box that's feature-packed and looks good? Synology's DS107e delivers. Though not inexpensive, Synology delivered one of the most solid NAS boxes to cross our desk, which is packed with functionality and also proves to be one of the best looking units on the market.

We've just posted a new article at HotHardware in which we evaluate the build quality, advanced features, and performance of the Synology Cube Station CS407. This do-it-yourself NAS device and server comes configured "bare-bones", ready for installation of up to four SATA hard disks with RAID 0, 1 and 5 capabilities. In addition to its compact form-factor and clean lines, Synology's CS407 provides product differentiation through support for a multitude of cross-platform features like UPnP MultiMedia support, iTunes server functionality, a Web Server with PHP and MySQL support and even an integrated photo management system called PhotoStation2 that has a decidedly "flickr-like" look and feel to it. Anyone in the market for a feature rich network attached storage device should check this article out?

While there are many NAS products available, there are none that we've crossed that have matched the feature-set of Synology's DS207. There are too many features to mention in a small intro, so read on to learn more about the product we had a difficult time finding a fault in.

The market for external storage has really started to heat up over the last couple of years. As greater capacities are becoming commonplace, people are finding even more stuff to store. As I have written in the past, the more space a person has, the more they will find to store in it, in the real world as well as the digital one. Some people can buy that 500 GB, 750 or 1 TB drive and slap it in their computer, but others want more complicated solutions. And the more you have to store, the more you have to lose. It is this increased awareness of data protection as well as storage needs which have given the NAS (network attached storage) market a boost. Light years ahead of the external hard drive, network attached storage brings with it a huge feature set, from remote accessibility, to automatic backups, and hardware failsafe systems. What is even more amazing is that these feats don't require a second mortgage. Today's NAS contender is the Cube Station CS407 NAS, from a newer company (founded in 2000) called Synology.

As a reviewer, it's always a pleasure to work with a product that performs as advertised. While a lot of products that we get here at Tweaknews meet expectations, it's a rare instance that we find one that exceeds expectations. The Synology Disk Station DS107e is just such a product. I was very impressed with what the DS107e was capable of. I was astounded at how easily Synology allowed me, a relative neophyte in this arena, to make all the features work.

The Cube Station CS-407e builds on the successes of its predecessor and now offers an even better personal network storage solution. General performance is average at best but for the price you won't find many other desktop NAS appliances offering this level of capacity and features.

The small business NAS appliance market is now so crowded with products that it's going to take something special for one vendor to stand out. We've seen Buffalo impress with its TeraStation Pro, Infrant Technologies amaze with its beautifully built ReadyNAS NV and now it's the turn of newcomer Synology to show us what it's made of.

The Disk Station DS-101g+ is a useful NAS solution for your home or your office. It serves as a superb way of backing up and sharing data, but beware that the lack of RAID means you need to have another copy of that data somewhere. Of course, hook up a second drive externally, be it SATA or USB and you can copy the contents of the Disk Station and you can back it up easily...
