Synology Synology DS216Play NAS Network Storage Server First Experience

A few days ago, a friend sent a group of DS216Play as a gift, as a newcomer to the NAS, briefly described the experience of the past few weeks. First time~

First give the link to Jingdong:

The hard disk temporarily entered a Western Digital 2T red disk, purchased in Hong Kong, 650 Hong Kong dollars. The same is the link of Jingdong:

Before the home is using the ordinary TP-Link router, 450M, in order to improve the file transmission speed of the internal network, Jingdong 199 purchased newifi2 Gigabit routing, Jingdong link:

First of all, for the needs of the NAS, there was no special attention to the products on the one hand before the use. It was only understood from the name, namely, the network storage, and the function was similar to the external storage. It was just 500G for the notebook itself. The SSD can't save too much, and its own mobile hard disk is only 1T. It will be almost full for a while, so the arrival of the NAS directly eases the storage requirements.

Synology 216Play is a dual-disc device with an RJ45 cable. The attached manual is concise and straightforward to describe how to install the hard disk. After installation, plug in the power cable to connect the NAS to the router. The following photos use the classic Swiss Army Knife as a reference.

The installation of Synology DSM system is also very convenient. If you install Synology Assistant software on a computer connected to the same LAN in advance, it will automatically search for the NAS in the local area network. Then you can connect to the web page of the management NAS through the software. Follow the prompts to select and download the DSM automatically. The system will prompt you to sign up for Synology account, set NAS name and quickconnect ID after installation. Quickconnect ID is literally a quick connection certificate. You can use the registered ID: XXX.quickconnect.to to enter the quick login interface. You can use the ID and user name, and quickconnect comes with your account. Network penetration, even if the NAS is in a multi-level routing environment can also be used to log in, but also does not need to set the DMZ routing.

DSM's operating interface is very similar to the windows desktop system, it is very convenient. Login interface and system interface support customization. The desktop can also set up gadgets to quickly view NAS status.

NAS is the most important document management system. DSM manages files through file stations. The operating habits are similar to window resource managers, but they have a very easy to use rights management system. The same NAS can be set differently for different login accounts. The file permissions, which folders who can be seen, read, write, modify, etc. can be set one by one, and the personal account files want to share out, you can also directly create a shared link for other users to pass the account or specify the password access. People often use the router to connect an external hard disk to the NAS. I think the biggest difference lies in this. Although I can use the Asus AC87U, for example, I can also set permissions on the higher-end routing, but the convenience and functionality are still A lot worse.

In addition, NAS can of course use Windows Explorer to map different shared folders to network disks on intranet computers. This makes it easier and faster to manage files. In terms of speed, individuals use Alienware 15R2 notebooks, built-in network adapters, and 5G networks that connect routers. Can achieve 50Mb / s transmission speed, and connect the cable, you can go to 100Mb / s, but relatively limited, wireless transmission will be less stable. Of course, when you are on the external network, you can also map disks to windows. The WebDAV software can be installed in the NAS Suite Center. You only need to set the route. If the route supports UPNP settings, the NAS will automatically set it up for you. However, if you are in a multi-level routing network, it will be very troublesome. My own broadband is China Unicom's, and the assigned ip is inconsistent with the actual public network ip. There is no result in making a phone call complaint. Therefore, this function has not been used successfully so far.

Map Disks to WIndows Explorer

Synology's suite center has a wealth of official and third-party software for installation and use to achieve a variety of different functions.

There are a lot of applications that can be downloaded on the mobile APP side. The application login requires quickconnect ID and personal accounts.

Commonly used, DS File, NAS file management software, corresponding to the File Station above the DSM, you can directly open the common files, music pictures and video can not afford to mention, and even office files can be opened. DS Photo, picture management software, corresponding to Photo Station above DSM, you can set the album in detail, including various user rights. It should be noted that the photo station's permission setting is transferred to this software setting instead of file station. DS download, remote download software, corresponding to NAS download station, very easy to download! ! Paste the link and select the storage location to remotely control the NAS download file. Quietly said that the app side comes with bt search function, big sister are searched to get yo ~. DS note, corresponding to the note station on the DSM, cloud notes ~ function similar to Evernote, very convenient. The app usage interface is very straightforward.

It is more troublesome to use iphone to transfer files to the computer before. Now it can be directly uploaded to NAS through DS File, and then the computer can directly open the uploaded file in NAS, which is very convenient. Usually want to see what video directly using DS Download remote search and download, home TV connected to the NAS within the LAN, ipad use DS File can immediately open the watch, eliminating the hassle of file transfer. The sharing of files among friends can be accomplished through multi-user uploading and downloading, and because there are perfect permission settings, you don't need to worry about private files being seen. The typical case is that for example, several friends travel back together and everyone The photos taken can be jointly uploaded to a unified folder by DS Photo and share with each other, which is very convenient.

In general, after two or three weeks of experience, 216Play is very easy to install and use. The private cloud is really easy to set up. Before graduating from college, onedrive was quite a bit, and then onedrive was walled. File uploading and downloading were very troublesome. The emergence of NAS eliminated this problem, making cloud storage more convenient, and because NAS was built on itself. At home, the transmission of large amounts of data is very fast, and it can also avoid the many risks of other network drives. Before everyone said that electric toothbrushes and mechanical keyboards are things that can't be returned. I think NAS is also the same. It is worth mentioning that the group's customer service service I think is very good, twice before and after the e-mail asked some technical issues, the official customer service can answer the e-mail within one day to help solve the problem.

Diving in Aunt for a long time, but also bought a lot of things through the recommendation of Auntie, finally took the time to write down the first original, it is very important reason is that NAS has brought a very good change to my life, and NAS function can also Continue to develop extensions to better serve our lives, and also hope that the mother is getting better and better~
