Synology DS415play Review

Rating: 8.0.

The latest release from Synology's enormous range of NAS is the DS415play. This 4-bay NAS looks pretty much identical to the DS414 (review) however it includes the features we saw in the DS214play (review). In essence this means the dual core ARM processor in the DS414 has been replaced with a dual core Intel Atom to ensure the DS415play has enough grunt to stream HD media across a network.

Synology DS415play highlighted features:

• Up to 24TB personal Multimedia Bank
• Four drive bays
• 1080p Full HD Video Transcoding on the fly
• Concurrent multi-channel streaming
• DLNA certified media server
• 1.6GHz dual core CPU with floating point
• Over 112.45MBps reading
• Over 101.21MBps writing
• Synology DSM 5.0 software
