Fast over single Gigabit connection - my initial backup (>1TB) was reporting >100MB/s throughput capable of dual link aggregation if the switch/router supports it. I'm doing continuous backup ('live') of all my documents, and the Server is configured by default to keep up to 32 previous versions. 'Synology Drive Client' on my PC automatically backs up files/directories/drives I specify at the interval I specify. Using 'Synology Drive Server' on the NAS let's me use the NAS space as a network drive for all of my PCs.

Easy enough to set up I used Synology's help pages plus a few videos. It will effectively act as a RAID 5 with more drives, but it will let me use the extra space of bigger added drives. SHR is functioning as a RAID 1 with the two 8TB drives I have in there now. Supports common RAID formats plus SHR (Synology Hybrid RAID).

I did upgrade the cache in the DS920, but still. The DS920 even writes and reads to these HDD's faster than the Ex2 Ultra could with SSD's. Ironically, the DS920 still verified the HDD's faster than the Ex2 Ultra could with SSD's. I used SSD's in my WD system, but when I bought the DS920 I decided to save my SSD's and use Toshiba's N300 HDD's.

Everything about this system is faster and more streamlined than WD's My Cloud Ex2 Ultra, and honestly, WD should be ashamed of their pathetic NAS product lines in comparison. The setup was simple and the interface is reminiscent of Windows OS, making it a breeze to learn how and where to find things. At first I was put off by the price tag on the DS920 but I figured they must be doing something right judging by the reviews, and boy was I pleasantly surprised. I had constant errors with the most simple task like detecting HDD temperatures. Overall Review: I had an incredibly hard time with Western Digital's My Cloud Ex2 Ultra, and their firmware was nightmarish. Pros: Better firmware and OS than WD Ex2 Ultraįaster read/write speeds even with HDD instead of SSD when compared to WD Ex2 UltraĪdjustable LED Light & ability to schedule the light to only power off at nightĮasy connectability, and many options to stay connected to your device
