Synology have launched two new products this week, the DS411j which we reviewed several days ago and the DS211 which we are looking at today. The DS411j is a quad drive NAS system supporting up to 8TB and the DS211 is a higher performance dual drive NAS offering a maximum of 4TB.

The Synology DS211 is a mainstream oriented unit which targets the home and small office sectors, retailing at £225 inc vat. It doesn’t offer as much storage capacity as the DS411j but the performance differences are reported by Synology to be significant.
