Is that wired?

It sounds right for a 100MB connection.

It was a bit of a pain in the rear after i setup it wouldnt accept my user or password which i looked at the forums and its a common issue. I had to do the reset and login using the standard admin and then change all my details manually.
What's the spec of the DS615? I can't find it anywhere

90MB/sec is fine

90Mb/sec is poor

90mb/sec isn't even possible.

Good choice to go for a proper NAS. If I had got here in time I would have recommended Buffalo instead of Synology but at least you have gone in the right direction. I have got a 2x3tb Linkstation which can be setup with various raid options and can be accessed from anywhere on the network.

Thats what i like about this NAS. I can access it from any of my 2 Pcs and my laptop when its connected wirelessly.

General, I've had Buffalo and the Synergy and have to say I much prefer the Synology, much easier to use and a great range of add ons like Cloud Station for back up and Surveillance Station for my security cameras (if only they worked wirelessly with that bit of kit we are currently testing shhhh)

Can you put a Plex media server on the DS215j?

Was the benefit of having your plex server on your NAS and not your PC, I had it set up to read from the NAS and it worked perfect

I don't want to have to have my PC on basically so it is a huge benefit to have it on a NAS along with the rest of the movies where i could access it from other rooms with the right kit.

I currently use the very basic media server on my Xbox One and wanted to try it via the Plex app on there.

Although you do make a very good point as the PC is usually on when i want to watch a movie so i may try it as long as it can see my NAS where the files are stored.

I was originally asking this question as my Mybook World has started to go pear shaped so i may buy another NAS to replace it.

When I did have my NAS all I did was map the drive and when plex asked where to look for media I pointed it to my NAS and was fine.
