<article>
   <section class="page">
<p>Synology’s new DS416play Disk Station (https://www.synology.com/en-us/products/DS416play) ($416 without drives on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Synology-DS416play-NAS-DiskStation-Diskless/dp/B01GB9ZJ3Q/)) is a network-attached storage (NAS) device capable of supporting up to 40TB of storage. You can use it as a standalone server supporting all the users in your business environment, or as a media server in your house, or it can serve both business and personal needs all in the same box.</p><p>The DS416play sports a dual-core Intel Celeron N3060 processor, provides hardware data encryption, offers 4-drive bays with hardware RAID, and dual LAN ports that can be configured for load balancing and fail-over. In my testing I found that the server easily supported multiple video streams to different devices while simultaneously handling large file uploads and downloads with no apparent stress to the server. According to Synology, the server is capable of handling up to 256 concurrent file sharing connections, which is more than enough for most small businesses.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3161304/network-storage/synology-ds416play-review-a-phenomenal-nas-server-for-small-business-or-home.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
