Synology DS207+ NAS Server

Installation
 
I chose to install two 80GB capacity Western Digital Caviar SE HDD’s into the Synology DS207+, and I’m happy to report that the process is just as easy as installing HDD’s into a regular chassis HDD caddy.

You can see from the image below that the DS207+ allows for sufficient airflow to circulate around the HDD’s, which is most certainly a good thing.
 
Gap between HDD's
 
I particularly like how the shorter SATA and power cables retain the cooling ability of the DS207+, and don’t add additional clutter to the interior. This will also benefit the cooling performance of the unit itself.
 
power connections
 
With the HDD’s installed and the side cover back in place, the DS207+ is ready to be fired up.
 
Power up
 
Now that we have the HDD’s installed and the Synology DS207+ connected to the network, let’s have a look at what it has to offer over the page.
