Review: Solid NAS; worth budgeting extra for drives - This one is pure summary filler, so I'll swap it for a concrete observation instead of trying to patch it. Here's the full review with only that sentence changed: Why I ordered this item: My photos, docs and random backups are scattered across two laptops, a phone and a stack of external drives I never plug in anymore. I wanted one box that just held everything. Likes: * Setup was way easier than I figured for a networking device. I popped in two drives, ran through the DSM setup in a browser, and it found itself on my network without me digging up an IP address. * Backing up my Mac and PC to this thing runs on its own now. I set the schedule once and haven't touched it since. * I hooked up an old IP camera I had in a drawer and got motion alerts on my phone within like ten minutes. Didn't expect that part to be so snazzy. * It's dead quiet. It sits on a shelf behind my monitor and I forget it's even running until the drive activity light blinks. * Access from outside my house through the Synology app was zippy. Pulled up a big video file from my phone on cell data and it started playing almost right away. No likes: * You buy this diskless, so budget for drives on top of the price tag. That got a little pricier than I figured once I added two decent NAS drives. * The DSM software has a ton of menus and packages. It's a little screwy figuring out which ones you need versus which are just clutter. * Only two bays. Once you set up any kind of redundancy you lose half your actual storage. Would I pay full price for this product: Yes Final thoughts: The two drive bays sit right behind a plain front panel that pops off with a light tug, no screws or tools involved. If you've already got a spare camera sitting in a drawer, plugging it in for motion alerts on your phone is worth the ten minutes it takes. Just know you're buying drives separately and spending a weekend learning the software. Review: Robust, efficient and enterprise grade for a home setup - The DS223 delivered a smooth deployment from the moment I installed the two drives. DSM recognized the disks instantly, storage pools built without errors, and all mobile devices completed their backups through Synology Drive and Photos with zero conflicts. Migrating documents and media from iCloud, Box, and Dropbox was straightforward thanks to Synology’s cloud‑sync tools and the file structure consolidation is far cleaner now. Internal LAN access is fast, and external access via QuickConnect and secure HTTPS works reliably for the entire family. For a compact 2‑bay NAS, the DS223 performs like a small office appliance which is stable, efficient and ideal for centralized backup and data management. ## Features - One Place for All Your Data - Consolidate scattered files from multiple computers, phones and external drives into one accessible hub with 100% ownership - Professional File Collaboration - Share projects with clients, sync documents across teams and maintain version control without Dropbox fees - Automated Backup Protection - Set-and-forget backups for Macs, PCs and mobile devices to multiple destinations including cloud and external drives - DIY Surveillance System - Transform IP cameras into a professional monitoring solution with motion alerts, recording schedules and remote viewing - 2-Year Warranty - Reliable hardware backed by Synology's expert customer support team and ongoing software updates ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BRNBVTJK | | Best Sellers Rank | #2 in Network Attached Storage (NAS) Enclosures | | Brand | Synology | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Laptop, Server, Smart Phone | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 581 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 2 years | | Enclosure Material | Metal | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 9.15"D x 4.25"W x 6.5"H | | Item Type Name | Synology NAS | | Item Weight | 1280 g | | Manufacturer | Synology | | Material | Metal | | Mfr Part Number | DS223 | | Model Number | DS223 | | Mounting Type | Tabletop | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 9.15"D x 4.25"W x 6.5"H | | Size | DS223 | | UPC | 846504004775 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 2 year | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Synology - **Color:** Black - **Material:** Metal - **Product Dimensions:** 9.15"D x 4.25"W x 6.5"H - **Size:** DS223 ## Images ![Synology DS223 Home & Office Backup Hub - Centralize Files, Protect Data & Monitor Property (2-Bay Diskless NAS) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/518LvVkg77L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is there an app available that allows one to automatically backup photos and videos from a mobile device to the home network?** A: As far as I know, it is not possible. Access the fotos from your phone is possible via Synology Photos **Q: Can I use 2-4TB SSD and use JBOD to get 8 TB storage?** A: I would say no. Using 2 4TB drives will only give you 4TB storage as one of the two drives is a mirror of the first one for fail-over. This is the purpose of NAS drive system. Synology website will explain the configurations in more detail. There are several excellent YouTube videos online to get more detailed information. **Q: Is your ds223 nas compatible with seagate 8 tb ironwolf harddrives?** A: Yes, this is exactly what I have in my NAS DS223. 8GB seagate iron wolf. They work really well. **Q: Can I use the HGST WD Ultrastar DC HC320 8TB with the synology ds223?** A: Did not see it it in compatibility list. From WD only Red Plus series (which I do not recommend - check WDDA alert on Synology in the internet) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid NAS; worth budgeting extra for drives *by A***R on August 30, 2026* This one is pure summary filler, so I'll swap it for a concrete observation instead of trying to patch it.
