When HP and Microsoft got together to work on a Home Server, I was very excited, but to my surprise the product would not support Apple File sharing Protocol (AFP). I also read reviews about performance and was not impressed (I would say I was disappointed).
I started reading about Synology products (I believe MacWorld magazine had a link to their page); and the more I read, the more convinced I was that Synology had the best NAS products.
I was waiting for the DS508 model to drop price, when Synology introduced the DS408 which was exactly what I was waiting for, more affordable and less power consumption.
Adding the hard drives, required a little more skill than was I was expecting. I got a little worried, because the picture on the installation manual regarding the power connector was different to the one in the mother board. But I trusted my instincts and connected it correctly.
I had some trouble activating the AFP (the default was SMB), but I read the forum and somebody suggested to turn the iTunes service to get AFP going. I was very pleasantly surprise about the speed of AFP (compared to SMB)! - Writing to the DS408 feels like writing to my internal hard drive!
Anyway, I am now sharing music, pictures, movies with the family (all using Apple Macs), and I could not be happier. | List Price:$999.00 Our Price:$499.00 You Save:$500.00 (50%)
