Synology DiskStation DS214Play review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell December 16, 2013 Featured Tech Reviews, NAS

We are testing the Synology DS214Play within our gigabit network which is pretty much as good as you will get for a home or small office environment. It is a mixed network with several 1GBit switches for ultimate performance.

All tests are performed ten times to ensure that no abnormalities can creep into the final results.

Performance from the unit is strong, although we couldn't get close to the rated 101 MB/s write speeds, peaking at 78 MB/s. Still a strong result considering there is no Link Aggregation support.

Mixed file performance is strong, hitting 68 MB/s read and 45 MB/s write.

    Wow they really do make a lot of products, hard to know which one to get when you look at their portfolio. this play device seems ideal for apple users at home due to codec issues.
