The plain brown cardboard case has a label on one end that shows you have just spent the best part of £400 on a DS415play.
It takes a special type of geek to wonder why the model code is DS415play, rather than DS414play, as we are still very much in 2014. The answer to that question is simply that Synology skips on to the next year once they have passed the middle of the current year.
Inside the box you get the usual external power brick, an Ethernet cable and a bag of screws, however these are only necessary for 2.5-inch HDD/SSD as 3.5-inch HDDs use a tool-free mounting system.
No HDMI on a nas as a con? and using the web interface to upload and download files instead of samba? I get the feeling the reviewer doesnt fully understand using a nas as a nas.
Using your web browser to test the transfer speed seems pretty strange…
You also seem to forgotten about a little invention called TV. Who cares about transcoding video for your phone?
I want a Plex server that can transcode and send 1080p to any streaming device in the house…Roku, Android TV box, WDTV, etc.
Confirm in the plex forum with the compatability with the 415play, i read somewhere (but unsure about it) that plex doesnt yet support the hardware transcoding on this model .
