Synology’s Disk Station DS409slim might be small but it’s big on features and performance. One of the most innovative and easy-to-use NAS boxes on the market today, the Disk Station DS409slim is perfect for those looking for a compact and quiet solution for sharing data across a wired network or the Internet. The only issue is that you’re paying a premium for the miniaturisation when cheaper and higher capacity 3.5-inch drives are more readily available. If you’re not sold on 2.5-inch technology (think noise and reliability), the Synology DS409 costs just £50 or so more and supports both 2.5- and 3.5-inch drives, making it a more practical option. Expensive, but the DS409slim is an interesting alternative.
