Synology DS123j
Excited to have just ordered a Synology DS123j hopefully this will give me a light weight portable NAS which presents NFS and iSCSI. It was a tough choice to not go for the Synology DS412+ with its built in VAAI but its 2.03kg without HDDs and as it houses four which I'd no doubt end up filling it would have been very heavy to carry. The DS123j is 0.73kg and it only holds two disks.
I've ordered it on next day delivery, and plan to find a couple of 500GB Seagate 7200 drives to see how it goes. I was in two minds as whether to order more drives but thought probably best to use what I have for now and make a considered decision later.
The OS looks easy to use, and provide a live demo here logon with
uname:admin
pword: synology
Guess we'll see how it goes tomorrow!
