DS224+ 2-Bay NAS Enclosure

A two-bay NAS that quietly does the job: Celeron J4125, 2GB RAM (expandable to 6GB) and DSM, the best NAS operating system going.

Why we list it

We ran it as a Time Machine target and Plex server for three weeks on a UK domestic connection. Transfers held around 110MB/s over gigabit, and it idled at a noise level you stop noticing.

• Intel Celeron J4125 quad-core, 2GB DDR4
