Your files are scattered across three laptops, a dying external drive, and a cloud subscription that keeps creeping up. You need one box. One place. That just works.
The Synology DS620Slim is a compact 6-bay NAS that sits on a shelf without looking like server-room clutter. The Intel Celeron J3355 handles file sync, backups, and 4K video transcoding without breaking a sweat. Drop in your 2.5" SATA drives — hot-swappable, so you're not powering down to swap one out at 7pm before a Monday deadline.
Runs on 2GB DDR3L (expandable to 6GB across two slots), dual 1GbE ports with link aggregation and failover, and two USB 3.0 ports for external backup. DiskStation Manager handles the rest — snapshots, permissions, remote access. Max single volume hits 108TB.
2-year Synology limited warranty included. No cloud subscription required
