The Synology DS10101+ follows a strong pedigree of NAS devices manufactured by this specialist manufacturer. The DS1010+ is a 5-bay device that is packed with features and with quality software that will appeal to all. A reputation of always providing quality products, we were keen to see if the DS10101+ will deliver on its promises. Synology also provided us with a reviewers guide a first for any manufacturer and one we welcomed as a positive move towards communication with its users.
