    you're both right :) sorry, I should have been more specific; I was thinking of the freescale processor and forgot the Atom was also 64-bit. Synology processor list: http://forum.synology.com/wiki/index.php/What_kind_of_CPU_does_my_NAS_have

    On the Synology Forum, I noticed a comment about an upcoming DS211+ : http://forum.synology.com/enu/viewtopic.php?f=165&t=29686&start=15#p119837 So it looks like Synology could be updating their 64bit processor line soon (DS410, DS210+, DS110+). :cool:

    If you plan on doing actual work on the DiskStation or use torrents, then the Atom unit (DS411+) is the fastest. This would be a fun unit to have! $300 for more processing power is cheap if you need/want it. If you want to go low power, the DS410 is a pretty good compromise of power /...

    The performance data for the DS411J in the Kitguru review does not provide a comprehensive picture of performance and may not give a accurate picture of how the DS411J performs in a home/small business environment. The performance data listed on Synology's website is also generic, but...

    I haven't heard anything about updates to the DS410, have you any info on the DS411? Synology just updated (most of) their NAS units which use the 16bit Marvel Kirwood processors. I wonder.. will they will start on their 64bit Power PC processors units next (DS410, DS210+, DS110+) or update...

    Thanks for the link. Lots of good info in the review. It's nice to see the 2011 Synology models are getting such great reviews. Now I just have to pick one...

    yeah you're right. Acutally the DS211 looks like a great NAS, with or without esata. 104MB/sec reading almost max's out the GigE port and it only consumes 10.8W idle. Should be very fast for apps at 1.6GHz with 256MB RAM. :cool:

    Good question about the processor on the DS211,DS111. Since the memory is listed as 16bit DDR1066, and the Write speed is 53MB/Sec, the processor would most likely be a speed bump of the existing 16bit Marvel 88F6281 Kirkwood CPU. Marvel has a faster version of the Kirkwood SoC, 88F6282...

    Here's a link to the datasheet for the soon to be released Synology DS111: http://www.synology.com.pl/pliki/Synology_DS111_Data_Sheet_enu.pdf If you compare the DS111 to the DS211 datasheet : http://www.synology.com.pl/pliki/Synology_DS211_Data_Sheet_enu.pdf You'll find one interesting...

    The DS411J was released today, it's now on the Synolgy product page: http://www.synology.com/enu/products/DS411j/ Time to start googling for reviews!

    DS211 datasheet review... no esata is listed in the hardware spec. :confused: The only mention of esata is on the first page. "Effortless File Backup The Synology DS211 offers a centralized backup target to consolidate fragmented and unstructured data across a network. PC Users can back up...

    Sorry, I have no idea.. I think you'd have a better chance of getting good feedback if you started a new thread to pose this question. There's lots of knowledable people on this forum (not me, obviously) :D, but your question is buried in a news thread about a Synology product launch.

    It appears that the release date is quickly approaching... Several dealers have prices listed (Europe and Canada) and the description has been expanded to include read / write performance (DS211). From the consistent wording in the website's product information, I think it's safe to assume...

    totoro, looking at the Synology DX510 product page it only shows compatibity with Atom based servers... so a 16-bit NAS would be a stretch. thanks for the sanity check. As a quick update to the pricing for the new NAS units, here's a link to a UK site that has most of the old and new...
