Synology has been a part of the network-attached storage industry for around 25 years now, and during that time, they've produced an array of solutions. Although all of their solutions support DSM, the extent to which they can use it and the sheer range of features they include does differ. Even though a Synology NAS might sound like the ideal alternative for you to ditch your cloud subscription, not all Synology NAS are built equal. Today, I want to do a quick review of their new entry-level NAS solution, the DS223j, an ARM-powered and extremely cost-effective private NAS device. Synology makes it clear that this device is targeted at budget buyers and those looking for a less demanding entry point into DSM. Nevertheless, with a good range of software services available on the DS223J, its potential for deployment is surprisingly large for its rather modest price tag. Today, we will go over how to setup ds223j, install Seagate Ironwolf Pro 16TB hard drive, and create a storage unit you can access anywhere in the world. Basically create your own cloud and automate backing up your digital files. We are traveling to Cambodia so I needed to be able to access and store my files in my own personal cloud.
