Zitat: The DS213air boasts an improved specification over Synology´s previous generation low and mid-range NAS boxes and as with all Synology´s Diskstations, half the product is essentially the numerous and mostly free app packages and services, all of which are excellent. However it wasn´t a great deal faster than the ageing DS212j, which is likely to be replaced with a 213-series unit at some point soon. As such, it´s price tag is likely to be a good £80-100 more than Synology´s inevitable new budget NAS box. The only feature that´s trumpet-worthy is its built-in WiFi adaptor. However, this is a lot to pay considering most cheap third party WiFi dongles are compatible with Synology´s NAS boxes too. While you can use it as a wireless router, practically all home Internet packages come with them as standard (not to mention it´s signal strength was nowhere near as good as a half-decent router anyway) leaving just two situations where this feature might be useful; locating the DS213air remotely such as a garage or outhouse, or using it as a wireless access point/repeater in conjunction with powerline adaptors. Both are fairly niche circumstances, but even then we question whether the price premium would be worth it, especially given the DS213, which boasts a superior specification on paper, costs the same.
