Synology DiskStation DS412+ 4-bay All-in-1 NAS Server for SMB Users Review

Storage/NAS by stefan @ 2012-03-20

The DiskStation DS412+ is another high performance NAS from Synology which allows a total of 4 HDDs/SSDs to be installed for enough storage space and are cooled properly with the two included 92mm fans, which are also silent during normal operation. On a single LAN connection, the unit maxes out the read/write transfer speeds and the “beast” is really unleashed when used in enterprise environments, with the “Link Aggregation” feature enabled.

Each corner has one small rubber foot for a better stability on the table:

By removing the frontal cover, we can expose the drive bays, which hold the 4 preinstalled plastic trays:

The bays are numbered with small white dots:

After removing all the trays, we can see the PCB in the back, which holds the Data/Power ports for each HDD/SSD:

While looking on the left side, we can see the ventilation holes through the Synology logo:
