Review: Excellent NAS drive, good performance, large app library - I needed to replace my aging WD NAS, which was struggling to keep up with my needs. After quite a bit of research and product comparisons, I decided to go with the market leader, and bought a NAS that seemed likely to be able to support my needs for several years, and offered some options for expanding the ways I use a NAS. For context, I mainly use my NAS as "network-attached storage": I back up files, and I share files for use on our multiple home computers. I don't use it for remote access (security concern: I'd rather use cloud storage services for that), and I don't use it as a repository for a media server, or anything else like that. I decided to use WD "Red" drives for this unit: based on specs and user and professional reviews, they seemed most likely to run reliably for as long as I needed. My previous experience with WD black, blue, and red drives has been consistently positive, whereas other vendors have let me down. Installation and setup was very easy: I had the unit up and running within a few minutes. Copying files over from my old NAS took some time, but the performance of this Synology unit exceeded my expectations. I was also pleased with how much faster my backup jobs were. I was especially pleased when apps that use network files began running much faster: so clearly both read and write performance were much improved in comparion with the old system. I also set up a USB backup. It took a little bit of reading in the Synology KB to learn how to do it right, but after that it was a breeze. I plugged in a USB hard drive in the back port (the front port can be configured for use with the USB Copy button), opened up the Hyper Backup app, and ran the initial backup to copy the entire NAS contents to the USB drive. Then I scheduled it to run incremental jobs every day, so now my paranoid backup demon is happy. (I save backup drives in a secure location to provide "disaster recovery"; overkill perhaps, but it buys peace of mind.) One criticism: the unit came with only 2GB memory, which seems cheesy. And what makes is super-cheesy is the way they price their branded "compatible memory" at ridiculous multiples of the market price. I was able to buy a 4GB Samsung memory card for under $15, and it worked just fine. You can do a web search and see that others have upgraded using larger memory cards. The Synology KB website is very good: it's well written and comprehensive. There's also an active user community, so there is a ton of information easily available. Overall I'm very happy with my Synology purchase, and would buy their NAS products again without hesitation. Review: Plan carefully before you purchase - So far I do like it. Overall the product is what I expected and meets our household needs. It's fairly easy to set up and deploy, so I have no negative comments there. I do wish the directions and assorted videos were a bit more easier to follow and Synology realised not all users have the background or terminology to understand everything. If you're looking to buy a NAS (and I would 100% suggest this model for basic household use because of price, etc.), I hope my following suggestions help: 1. Organize, organize, organize! My biggest headache was that my digital data and digital artifacts (files, pictures, videos, etc.) were spread across a combination of drives and flashdrives i.e. external hard drives, disks, flashdrives, etc. accumulated over a good 20 year period. I started copying files and ran into issues like where my cords were (apparently I forgot over the years different devices had different power sources, cords, etc.) 2. Patience young grasshopper! Many of my files over the years started with weird characters, periods, dashes, in some cases the entire first sentence of a document. File extensions that looked like might have come from an old word processor I once had in the 90s. Definitely some file extensions that were from various Nintendo handheld devices, PDAs, etc. So there seemed to be a bunch of pop-up warnings when transferring. Overall, I think the NAS captured all the important stuff, but like I said, I had 3 different WD and ioSafe 2TB external devices, and I didn't bother to check if everything went over. 3. Where do I put things? I was a bit confused about the whole Shared Folder vs. Folders that seemed to already populate (photos, music) Synology Photos, Music apps, etc. I still really haven't figured that part out so I just created a folder, then basically dumped all my device files into it. Like I said, this is for the house, nothing I need to worry about other household members accessing, so i went the easiest way. Share and share alike, I guess. 4. The wireless/hardwired ethernet stuff was easy to set-up. Synology pretty much does everything for you. But it is so SLOW! My mistake was that I believed because I was using an ethernet cable from my laptop to my Netgear router and a cable from Synology to Netgear router this would be the fastest way. It wasn't until I remembered that you can create a network on your laptop and that seriously sped things up. It was a bit more complicated to set up though. Now I have a "drive" all I do is connect to and it acts like any other external hard drive I've used in the past. 5. Hardware: Definitely decide what you want. I went with 2 4tb drives. I wish now I saved up and went with 2 6 or 8tb drives. 4tb filled up super fast! I went with the Iron Wolf and Synology 4TB HDD models. THey work great. 6. Upgrade that RAM before you start. I upgraded to TimeTec 4gb because of price and reviews. It did make a difference. I think it's more than enough for what I need. 7. Watch a bunch of YouTube videos! Some are really good, some are too advanced, so just look for some that meet your needs. 8. I highly recommend this product or at least a NAS type set up. it's easy to use. So far we love it. Organizing videos and photos has been really fun for us in the evenings. Watching the children from birth to now age 20+ makes for nice memories in the kitchen, plus there's no good shows on TV to stream anyway. Hope this helps. ## Features - Up to 471/225 MB/s sequential read/write throughput makes file operations quick and efficient - Leverage built-in file and photo management, dataprotection, virtualization, and surveillance solutions - Two 1GbE ports for simple integration into existingenvironments with optional 10GbE connectivity totackle more specialized, bandwidth-heavy applications - Add 5 extra drive bays with one DX517 expansion unit for a maximum of 7 storage drives - Check Synology knowledge center or YouTube channel for help on product setup and additional information ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BRN9J1JN | | Best Sellers Rank | #25 in Network Attached Storage (NAS) Enclosures | | Brand | Synology | | Built-In Media | 1 x DS723+ main unit, 1 x Quick Installation Guide, 1 x Accessory pack, 1 x AC power adapter, 1 x AC power cord, 2 x RJ-45 LAN cables | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Server, CPU, Laptop, Desktop | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 4,761 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Metal | | Is Assembly Required | Yes | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 8.78"D x 4.17"W x 6.54"H | | Item Type Name | Synology NAS | | Item Weight | 1510 Grams | | Manufacturer | Synology | | Material | Metal | | Mfr Part Number | DS723+ | | Model Number | DS723+ | | Mounting Type | Tabletop | | Product Dimensions | 8.78"D x 4.17"W x 6.54"H | | Size | DS723+ | | UPC | 846504004447 | | Warranty Description | 3 Year | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Synology - **Color:** Black - **Material:** Metal - **Product Dimensions:** 8.78"D x 4.17"W x 6.54"H - **Size:** DS723+ ## Images ![Synology 2-Bay DiskStation DS723+ (Diskless) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61+0Bni6PBL.jpg) ![Synology 2-Bay DiskStation DS723+ (Diskless) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jF7KSyGaL.jpg) ![Synology 2-Bay DiskStation DS723+ (Diskless) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71bc6tssI-L.jpg) ![Synology 2-Bay DiskStation DS723+ (Diskless) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/711giFtTAjL.jpg) ![Synology 2-Bay DiskStation DS723+ (Diskless) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71KWpFmY90L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: So if I add 2 drives and connect this via ethernet, can it act as a server for a website that I own?** A: Theoretically yes.

I want to start with one drive and then add second one later in few Weeks? does this device suppot** A: Yes you can start backing up your devices with one drive and add the second later. Of course there will be no redundancy (Raid) until the second drive is installed and setup. **Q: I use an erp system on windows 10 pro and i want hot swap external hardware raid 1 to protect my system against failure. is it going to work for it?** A: I doubt it! Are you talking about two different raid systems. One Synology and one some other brand? ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent NAS drive, good performance, large app library *by O***T on February 5, 2023* I needed to replace my aging WD NAS, which was struggling to keep up with my needs.

My requirements were pretty straightforward. I was in the process of transferring and consolidating years of analog and digital multimedia. I was not comfortable with sticking with cloud storage. Unpredictable internet speed demanded local storage for performance. So, I decided to get a networked storage device that was fast and simple to set up and maintain. After considerable research, I settled on Synology's DS224+. I had some experience using Plex on my PC with an external drive, so the built-in Plex Server app was a bonus. The setup of the RAID 1 (other options are available) dual drive (drives purchased separately) was straightforward using the Linux-based DSM 7 operating system. My knowledge of networking is limited, so it took some poking around to figure out how to map a shared folder on the NAS to a lettered drive on my PC. Transferring all of the media files from my PC to the NAS was incredibly fast once the setup was complete. Performance using LAN Plex clients on my PC, Android tablet, Roku, and phone was better than I expected. The DSM 7 OS has a rich set of apps for backing up, taking snapshots, and setting up a cloud-based drive service. Those were very easy to set up on both the NAS side as well as the PC client side. I decided to take it one step further and set up remote access. The DSM 7 NAS OS has options for VPN service. So, I decided to set up the OpenVPN server. This is where things get sticky. Without getting into all of the details, the default VPN configuration makes some minor security compromises, perhaps to accommodate older client configurations. I had to make some tweaks to the configuration and regenerate the security certificate key to get a sold VPN connection with no warnings. So, you may want to have someone handy who knows a bit about VPN setup to help out, or be prepared to do some research! Alternatively, you can connect remotely using Synology's QuickConnect. The setup is straightforward. It may not be entirely as secure as a VPN connection since it relies on Synology's servers, and you can't access other devices on the LAN remotely. All that being said, if you simply want remote access to your NAS, I would recommend using QuickConnect simply based on easy of setup and use. The Plex performance was so good that I decided to ditch my Tablo and purchase an HDHomeRun quad tuner as an add-on to the Plex server. That was super easy to set up. Now, I have an Over The Air DVR setup that integrates with all of my other media. So far, I have found the Plex's performance and reliability to be far superior to the Tablo, especially when accessing it remotely. If you are simply looking for a simple home NAS and media server setup, the Synology DS224+ provides a solid solution at a reasonable price. Add on a multi-channel network tuner and you end up with a setup that will seriously tempt you into cutting the cord on cable and paid streaming services. If you are willing to fiddle around with the setup a bit, you get the added functionality of a secure VPN connection into the NAS and Media Server as well as other devices on your home LAN. Bottom line: The Synology DS224+ is solid winner in the entry level NAS arena. ## Frequently Bought Together - Synology 2-Bay DiskStation DS723+ (Diskless) - Seagate IronWolf 8TB NAS Internal Hard Drive HDD – 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s 7200 RPM 256MB Cache for RAID Network Attached Storage – Frustration Free Packaging (ST8000VNZ04/N004) - OWC 32GB (2X16GB) DDR4 RAM Compatible with Synology DiskStation DS723+ and DS923+ NAS System 2666MHz PC4-21300 CL19 ECC Unbuffered SODIMM 2Rx8 1.2V Memory Upgrade --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/503455114-synology-2-bay-diskstation-ds723-diskless](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/503455114-synology-2-bay-diskstation-ds723-diskless) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
