NAS devices are meant to occupy the gap between those two extremes, providing workstation-independent storage without the configuration headaches and electricity bill of a full-fledged server. Synology is one of the most prominent names in this space, and we’ve had ample experience with their products in the past. Today we’re going to be taking a look at one of their latest SOHO offerings, the DS713+.
