Synology DSM 7.0

Bottom line: Synology's OS is the best in the business, and it just inched a little further ahead of the competition with version 7.0. There's plenty to love with this update on Synology NAS enclosures.

Synology got mostly everything right with the DiskStation DS220+. It has a really good processor, upgraded DDR4 RAM, two drive bays, and dual 1Gb LAN ports, but it's just a shame about the lack of 2.5Gb LAN or M.2 slots.
