Synology DS124 Personal Backup & File Hub - Protect Photos, Secure Home Surveillance (1-Bay Diskless NAS)

Outstanding and simple set up! Works great for streaming media!

Connected to Router so all devices on network can seamlessly access the drive. Software allows all camera photos to instantly backup on the drive. Easy to organize docs and photos. A great time saver.

I upgraded from a DS116 released in 2016. Gotta admit it doesn't feel that much faster for a low-demand NAS. But I figure ten years is about due time for a direct replacement and the DS124 fit the bill. Nothing fancy for the price, should work fine, should do everything before without issue. Looks the same, feels the same, that was the goal. I didn't realize Migration Assistant is not available for anything in the budget/lower-end range. So I just plugged in the new DS124 with new drive, ran initial setup, and manually dragged things over the network. Whatever, data is there now. I don't see how that could be so resource-intensive to just initiate a point-to-point transfer but that's not my call. This is a single bay but if you need redundancy, you can install one of the cloud services and back up what you need. I've used S3 and Backblaze B2 over the years, both fairly reasonably priced for non-TB amounts of data automatically uploaded. I run Plex only as a media server, no transcoding. The old one played say 50GB files fine over the network ok and the new one hasn't been a problem. To serve files and act as a basic simple NAS, the single bays are fine. My acquired media files are not worth backing up, assess your own needs and situation.

I had a DS110j that Synology no longer supported, and it was starting to die. I finally replaced it with this DS124. The migration was unbelievably simple. All I had to do was remove the drive from my DS110j and install it into the DS124. The Synology software did the rest. I still have the same IP address; the login and password are the same as those for the DS110j. I use Kodi to access my videos and music, and it works as if I never replaced the NAS.

This unit has an installed 14 TB hard drive that I can access from anywhere on the internet! Fast, easy to use, very sturdy, it is compatible with my Windows 11 Pro operating system and my IPAD and iPhones, as well as Android phones. It is very secure; you're not gaining access to the data on the installed hard drive unless you intentionally grant access to someone else! Triple-layer security! Thank you, Synology!

This is misleading crap. It has no storage included. It does nothing out of the box. You have to buy storage disks separately. It is not easy to set up, does not function smoothly, and there is no customer support or intuitive interface. Maybe it’s ok for IT professionals, but if you’re just looking for a device for your home, don’t even think about think company.

Upgraded from DS120. Just put the hdd on and everything kept working. Now i have face recognition in Synology Photos, very good.

If you haven't installed a NAS before, you should do some research before selecting this. I took a star off because the only drive size that fits without adapters is an old 5" drive. Other size drives need an adapter kit they don't sell anymore. I used duct tape to hold it in place. Once I got it setup and running, it was visible to all my windows boxes. To my surprise my Linux box saw it with no additional setup. The app Synology provides for android devices works, my other android apps were able to access it. I am happy with my purchase.

半年ほど利用。監視カメラの録画機＆ファイルサーバーとして24h稼働中。v6プラス回線でも外部からもアクセスできて非常に満足。単体としての稼働音も気にならないレベル。仕事部屋においてあるが付属のアダプタのコイルなきが酷いのが気になってリビングに置く気にならない。バックアップなどを考えると2ベイ以上にすればよかったなと思った。

Hardware installation is very simple. Installation also very easy.

業務でnasを使用しているが、 こちらは家庭用に導入。 初期設定も非常に簡単、 ネットに情報も多彩に載っており、 非常に優秀

Decent Good product for who need own cloud storage for photos and videos for privacy and only for personal usage, It's only 1gigabit lan speed so better for personal use. Synology photos app are very usefull for uploading photo and video automatically. Synology gives many apps like drive, notes online streaming,

めちゃめちゃ機能があって便利簡単に外部からアクセスができるようになった 古いNASもこの機器を中継することで外部アクセスができる OPENVPNを使ってNASにある自炊した本も読めるよになり最高 次買うときは複数ベイのものを買う。 不具合があった時にサポートに連絡したら調べてくれてHDDに原因があること教えてもらえた Seagateの赤HDDだったのでまさか故障するとは思ってなかった 保証期間だったので交換してもらったけどすぐにウェスタンデジタルの赤HDDを買った
