In one of our previous reviews we tested a single-disk home-oriented Network Attached Storage with broad functionality from Synology called DS107+. Today, Synology has offered yet another NAS for us to test. The DS207+ model is a dual-disk device comparable to the DS107+ in its capabilities.

The developer has improved the functionality of some of his devices since our previous report by introducing new firmware. According to the descriptions you can look up at the Synology website, there are quite a lot of changes, from the web-interface design to the firmware-integrated applications. We guess it is a good reason for us to take another look at Synology’s NASes taking the DS207+ as an example.
