BEST 4-BAY NAS BOX

NAS shelf lives are longer than many other tech products, and the Synology DS916+ is actually the same model we recommended here last year. It’s not the cheapest four-bay around, but that’s because it’s a performance-oriented device with high-end transcoding abilities courtesy of a quad-core Intel Prentium N3710 CPU (one of the fastest we’ve seen in a NAS) and is available with either 2GB or 8GB of RAM. Setup is quick and tool-less, transfer speeds were fantastic in our testing, and the OS is feature-packed and highly expandable.
