Geek Grotto

A couple of weekends back, Synology held an event to show off what is coming soon and today we can share that with you! You may know Synology as a NAS manufacturer, producing network attached storage ranging from single drive home units to Enterprise solutions, all powered by their DiskStation Manger software.  Well version 6.0 is hitting beta and is available NOW! Also their next gen line up is being announced including 4K transcoding on the new DS716+ and their entry into the home router market and much more! UPDATE: DSM 6.0 Beta is now available. With all that said, after the break will be A LOT of info to take in, and trust us, it's worth the read!

We have spent the past couple of weeks playing with Synology's new NAS for the home, the DS213j! How does this offering compare to others on the market? More importantly, how does it compare to my old D-Link DNS-323? Read the full review after the jump!

Like most gamers, I have more than one console. Like few gamers, I have consoles that span decades! I have been gaming since the 80's, and with the exception of an Atari 5200 destroyed by a hurricane, I still own them all. A working Atari 2600, NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Sega Genesis, multiple working Saturns, Dreamcasts, PS Ones, Turbo Duo, TG-16 /w CD, 2 Neo-Geo MVS units and more! All with dozens of games, all work. What I have noticed is that with the last 2 generations aren't as "durable" as the consoles of the past.
