Our take
If you're looking to build out a custom NAS with your preferred drives, the Synology DS1512+ is an interesting barebones option. The 5-bay design provides plenty of room for expansion, and the dual-core processor, along with dual LAN ports, indicates decent performance and network resilience. The inclusion of USB 3.0 is a definite plus for faster external backups. However, remember you'll need to factor in the cost of hard drives, as it ships with 0GB storage. At $608.68, it’s a solid platform for those who want to choose their own storage without paying for pre-installed disks.
