Bottom line: The Synology DS224+ 2-Bay Diskstation NAS 8TB Bundle: Ships with two 4TB WD Red Plus drives for 8TB raw capacity, no separate drive purchase; main trade-off: ships with only 2GB DDR4, so heavy multitasking or containers push a RAM upgrade.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Ships with two 4TB WD Red Plus drives for 8TB raw capacity, no separate drive purchase
  • ✓ Intel Celeron J4125 quad-core bursts from 2.0 to 2.7 GHz for multi-user file serving
  • ✓ Two RJ-45 1GbE ports allow link aggregation or network failover
  • ✓ DSM browser OS supports up to 2048 user accounts and 1500 concurrent connections

Cons

  • ✗ Ships with only 2GB DDR4, so heavy multitasking or containers push a RAM upgrade
  • ✗ 1GbE networking caps throughput near gigabit speeds; no 2.5GbE or 10GbE port
  • ✗ Two bays only, so RAID 1 mirroring leaves 4TB usable out of the 8TB
  • ✗ J4125 is an entry-level Celeron, not suited to demanding VM or heavy transcode loads
