Is the Synology ds412+ a good NAS?

Overall Review: I purchase the Synology DS412+ to replace a home made NAS, running FreeNAS , that I have had for several years. The DSM software configured the NAS right out of the bow for the max capacity/best reliability. I am sure I will get in a tweak it once I get familar with the product.

What is the capacity of the ds412+ NAS?

The DS412+ is a quad bay NAS that supports 4TB HDDs and that gives us a total of 16TB of user capacity before RAID over head. This NAS also has extra expansion options, dual USB 3.0 and a single eSATA port, all on the back of the unit.

What type of RAID does the ds412+ support?

If you buy a DS412+ unit with hard drives preinstalled, chances are the hard drives are set up in Synology’s Hybrid RAID, which is similar to RAID 5.

Is the ds412+ worth it for home surveillance?

For home and novice users, however, the DS412+ isn’t as easy to use. My biggest complaint is that while the server supports some 20 IP cameras, it comes with just one camera license to host just 1 camera out of the box. Additional licenses cost about $50 each, making it expensive to use as a surveillance system.
