Synology Verified User Chose DiskStation When we decided to look for a nearby storage solution, we briefly considered QNAP NAS.

QNAP is known for better high end performance. I really like the Synology interface. It makes it very easy to use. There are so many applications that are available that expand the functionality significantly. Incentivized Helpful? Aaron Pinsker Owner in Information Technology at Colorado Computer Care (Information Technology and Services, 1-10 employees) Chose DiskStation Synology DiskStation is by far the best all-around NAS solution on the market.
